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.

Someone else has had a good day - apparently all of you back in Blighty voted Keira Knightley the world's sexiest woman, according to German MSN quoting FHM.



Here's the link if you can't see the pic.

Too bony, IMO, but WDIK, PDYOR.

You wouldn't believe it.
2 days, 2 matches and we played like 2 different teams!!
Saturday in the league, we got hammered. In a big way. The opposition posted 278 in 46 overs and we replied with a chronic 103 all out!!
I was crap, getting just 9.
Sunday in the cup, we played a team from a higher division and were stuggling with the bat. I posted a rapid 32 near the end and we ended on 142 for 9 from 40 overs.
We were demons in the field and they were all out for 113.
Astonishing!!!!
Roll on the next round.
We are the cricket equivalent of Middlesborough Football Club.

mmmmmm, noice ;)

Mmmm turtley :)

Which one is David Blaine???

Must be the little weener squished in the corner.

Spent last night playing a game of I-Spy with a bunch of surrealist impressionists.
Christ, that was a long game.

very good, Al.

i spent last night watching some people blowing and then i had a good bang ;)

You play drums in a brass band, I take it??

correct. your turn now .....
geez , it's quiet today.

I played sidedrum in a marching band myself - there we were, thirty cadets in uniform, all banging and blowing for the Major.

Then I discovered the drumkit :o)

I was due to see a gynaecologist today, but the appointment was cancelled. Devastated, is how I feel.

oh so much fun to be had paradiddling with yer flams 'n drags. i used to practice my single stroke for hours every night before i could perform a nice roll ;) and i wont even mention how many hours i put into practicing my double stroke .....

I'm afraid the drumkit finished me as a marching drummer. So nice finally to have a comfy stool to sit on.

BTW Bosley, if you ever want a real drumming treat, then check out "Top Secret Drum Corps". They're from Switzerland, and I saw them on German TV when they played the Edinburgh Tattoo (they're that good). I've never seen drumming and manoeuvres like it - breathtaking!!

Their website is www.topsecretbasel.ch and is all in German which is fine by me but might not be so good for everyone. The gallery is worth a look though.

st, very nice. no video though which would have been nicer .

incredible

dont know if you saw this last time i posted it. if not, it's well worth a look, but prepare to be amazed.

Thanks Bos. I haven't seen it - if only I had a sound card so I could hear it!! (don't ask, my computer was very cheap).

My fave drum solo? Simon Phillips, "Indian Summer" on the Symbiosis album. IMHO some of the best sound engineering of drums too.

Joke of the Day


A priest, a Pentecostal preacher and a Rabbi all served as chaplains to
the students of Northern Michigan University in Marquette.
They would get together two or three times a week for coffee and to talk
shop. One day, someone made the comment that preaching to people isn't
really all that hard. A real challenge would be to preach to a bear. One
thing led to another and they decided to do an experiment They would all
go out into the woods, find a bear, preach to it, and attempt to convert
it.

Seven days later, they're all together to discuss the experience.

Father Flannery, who has his arm in a sling, is on crutches, and
has various bandages, goes first. "Well," he says, "I went into the woods
to find me a bear. And when I found him I began to read to him from the
Catechism. Well, that bear wanted nothing to do with me and began to slap
me around. So I quickly grabbed my holy water, sprinkled him and, Holy
Mary Mother of God, he became as gentle a lamb. The bishop is coming out
next week to give him first communion and confirmation."

Reverend Billy Bob spoke next. He was in a wheelchair, with an arm and
both legs in casts, and an IV drip. In his best fire and brimstone oratory
he claimed, "WELL brothers, you KNOW that we don't sprinkle! I went out
and I FOUND me a bear. And then I began to read to my bear from God's HOLY
WORD! But that bear wanted nothing to do with me.
So I took HOLD of him and we began to wrestle. We wrestled down one hill,
UP another and DOWN another until we came to a creek. So I quick DUNKED
him and BAPTIZED his hairy soul. And just like you said, he became as
gentle as a lamb. We spent the rest of the day praising Jesus."

They both looked down at the rabbi, who was lying in a hospital bed. He
was in a body cast and traction with IV's and monitors running in and out
of him. He was in bad shape.

The rabbi looks up and says, "Well, looking back on it, circumcision may not
have been the best way to start."

:o)


Bosley, you said yesterday was quiet; today is soporific.
