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.

thats just the sort of day i've had

You gotta take your hat off to these inventive yanks.
In the face of adverse publicity about health surrounding McDonalds, the burger chain have somehow invented a chicken salad that contains more fat than a Big Mac, and now are offering exercise DVD's at the counter.
Let me get this right.
To stay fitter and healthier while filling your mouth with a meal that tastes like a carpet, you can save yourself the effort of going to the local video shop and collect an exercise disc from the takeaway, which you put in your player and use the remote control to start. You then sit there eating a salad thats about as healthy as a Chernobyl pork dripping sandwich, and watch impossibly thin and athletic models doing simple exercies in the belief that eating such low value food and watching a video will make you as impossibly (and surgically enhanced) thin and athletic as they are.
And if you think that is ridiculous and unbelievable, the great population of the world will be taken in by it. Incredible!!!!
Here endeth todays observation in the power of branding.

I was posting a vid but it didn't work, next time, have you got any DCD it would fit well with your name.

alan, you can come down now .

lol

I've no room to talk, Bos.
Just got back from the Pizza Hut and am feeling (and looking) like a suckling pig!!
It just amazes me that the least nutritious food in the entire world, ever can find affinity with a fitness video!!

Feeling good this morning!!!
A watery sun is shining, I'm looking out of my office at a tree in full cherry blossom and its only 69 days to my hols and only 48 hours to the new cricket season.
Life don't get any better than this!!!

Sometimes you just can't shut Harry up.
Bloody chatterbox.

Sorry Harry, you are on the wrong site, the audition for the next series of Blankety Blank is on the BBC website.

look at number 8 real meteor not?


edit
just tried this link myself and it didnt work, maybe someone out there knows where i went wrong

alan, cherry blossoms must bloom earlier in leeds. got some in the garden and not a single leaf between them. they do look nice for a week or two but they don't half make a bloody mess when they shed their leaves. next door was a touch upset last year as he had just laid a brand new lawn only to see it turn a shade of pale pink . not my fault the wind blows his way .

dcb - copy and paste the link and it'll work.

Tony Blair is visiting an Edinburgh hospital. He enters a ward full of
patients with no obvious sign of injury or illness and greets one. The
patient replies:
"Fair fa your honest sonsie face,
Great chieftain o' the puddin race,
Aboon them a you take your place,
Painch, tripe or thairm,
As langs my airm."

Blair is confused, so he just grins and moves on to the next patient.
The patient responds:
"Some hae meat and canna eat,
And some wad eat that want it,
But we hae meat and we can eat,
So let the Lord be thankit."

Even more confused, and his grin now rictus-like, the PM moves on to
the next patient, who immediately begins to chant: "We sleekit, cowerin,
timrous beasty, Thou needna start awa sae hastie, Wi bickering brattle."

Now seriously troubled, Blair turns to the accompanying doctor and asks
"What kind of facility is this? A mental ward?"
"No", replies the doctor. "This is the serious Burns unit."

A happy St Georges day to you all!!!
Spring is well and truly here. Blue skies, warm sun and yesterdays return to the cricket season, instead of that silly football nonsense.
We started the season in a less than traditional manner. We actually played, rather than sitting around watching the rain fall.
The game was somewhat more traditional, in that we got hammered. Next week sees a league match on Saturday and the first round of the cup on Sunday. Unfortuantely our South African signing will not be back from SA until the following week, so our bowling lacks a little something at the moment. Our SA is 6'7" and counts his bowling performance not in wickets, but in batsmens teeth, and I am so glad we signed him, and not some other team.
Lawns cut, borders weeded and now is snoozing and alcohol time.
Have fun.
Alan
