Thought Id start this one going because its rather dead on this board at the moment and I suppose all my usual muckers are either at the Stella tennis event watching Dim Tim (lose again) or at Henly Regatta eating cucumber sandwiches (they wish,...NOT).

Anyway please feel free to just talk to yourself blast away and let it go on any company or subject you wish. Just wish Id thought of this one before.

cheers GF.

LOL.

I am feeling very contented about the 5 Nation's outcome.

Almost perfect!

A little bit of regret about Irish game, but didn't want to depress them.


8-), 8-))))))))))

That didn't take long!

Argentina's Kirchner raises Falklands with Pope Francis

Argentine President Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner says she has asked for the Pope's intervention in the Falklands dispute between her country and the UK.

The pope is a supporter of Argentina's CV claim to the Falklands. It would be a bit like getting the 'king of the fairies' to help.

sounds like, "Pappa, Pappa, those boys are being nasty to me and won't let me play"

Super, smashing, great. Does anyone know if the new pope plays darts?

Oh dear.

Another lost part of the Empire.

pretty questionable, but assuredly there can be no question at all that the residents wish to stay part of uk, nor that argentina have declared a total disinterest (read as disdain) in what those people want, not that it is in the gift of argentina either way

For those who like a drink at home or whilst entertainly have a look at Morrisons recent offers on wines and spirits.

Bad for your health. :-))

on a detox at the moment.:-))

Detox - what the hell is one of those!! Managed to survive 3 months off being 65 and not had one. Just thought I would tell you all that there are good offers on and great to have in if one entertains.

i entertain myself, and rarely go an evening without (decent) wine .... tonight a bottle of 2009 fleurie with some roast loin of pork stuffed with prunes marinated in brandy+walnuts+sage .... shall make a sauce from sherry and the rest of the prunes etc ..... yummy yummy i hope

Sounds delicious. I have always been partial to Fleurie, but it is somewhat variable in quality. Where do you get yours?

Detox- treatment to rid the body of poisonous sustances, esp alcohol. lol(and gin!!!)

I saw they have half price wines.

i bought a variety of cru beaujolais 2009 through domaine direct .... it was a great vintage and i bought quite a lot as some will drink now and some will still be good in 5+ years time

Analysis - No quick fix for Britain's overloaded infrastructure

LONDON | Mon Mar 18, 2013 4:25pm GMT
(Reuters) - After heavy rainfall, raw sewage gushes into the River Thames from a network of dank sewers beneath the streets of London.

A Victorian-era problem that has never been fixed, the cobweb-laced tunnels just metres from a new underground railway station at Blackfriars underscore Britain's infrastructure backlog.

For now, workers known as "flushers" struggle to keep the flow of waste clear from used wet-wipes and congealed cooking fat.
