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.

special offers

baza, that's the kind of thing you find on this site. some good stuff here.

Thats exactly where I did find it

Just bought myself the panasonic 40" plasma reduced from 1500 to 919 - including stand AND 5 years warranty AND Free delievry from John Lewis - which was a bargain in itself (Currys have same - but does not include the 5 year warranty - worth 250 alone)- but with the special offer found on that site they knocked another 10 off. The best deal I have found on there just before Xmas was that Tesco were doing a rather nice Chateauneuf du Pape reduced from 13 to just 5.99 (I think) - but with the Tesco voucher of 15 off on your first wine order - then it came down to 21 for 6 bottles - or just 3.50 per bottle - and it was decent wine toboot.

if only b & m bargains in farnworth had a website, baza. you'd love it in there !!

finally got round to treating myself to a camcorder. bought it from dabs.com which is in bolton. i'm in bolton, about 8 miles away, but it still took 3 feckin' days to get here !!! i would rather the money i paid for shipping had been used to pay abacab taxis to bring it. it was kinda interesting being able to track it as it went from depot to depot before finally being picked up by the delivery man at 6.30am this morning. i still didn't get it 'til dinner time.

Hi guys and girls,

A 2007 message..

Its so lovely to see this thread going from strength to strength.

Little did I know that this would have such a great impact on POSTERS lifes when I first set the thread up one hot summers day in the middle of a heat wave and no enthusiasm was shown to the markets.

Im not a big speaker but come on carry on lets have the best of everybody, and lets ROCK ON.

I love you all.
GF.

Goldie, we'd like to thank you for your inspiration and public spirit demonstrated by your setting up this thread.

Our lives would be much poorer without it.

ST ............. LOL.

I trust your keeping well.

love ya too, goldie.

got to send me camcorder back as it's faulty. i guess it's going to be another week before i get a new one now :S

Bos, that sounds like Sod's law at work. And don't even get me started about how long things have sat around at DHL here in Germany after I ordered them in a hurry.

GF - things are fine here, thanks - 2007 shaping up to be a great year.

After all the recent excesses ...



... it's high time for some more.

blimey!! that's a biggun!! doesn't look the same without any cream though. gis' a minute and i'll whip some up ;)

Just wondered what you twisted lot had come up with for your New Years Resolutions.
I Resolved to get fitter from a cardio-vascular point of view so I started exercising. The regime was challenging and involved increasing my exercise by parking the car a bit further from the kerb, so I had further to walk and not cutting my bacon sandwiches in half so they were heavier to lift.
After 3 days the strain was starting to tell, so how happy was I to read an article that says caffeine increases your heart rate.
I have abondoned the rigorous exercises and now drink alot more coffee, on the basis that I don't get tired and its a good workout for my heart.
This will probably be the easiest resolution to keep ever.
One downside is that coffee requires cigarettes to go with it (I'm sure Bos will agree) and that makes it almost as expensive as joining a gym, but I think the health benefits will be worth it.

Al, I just learned from German TV that kissing is good for health and fitness. It strengthens the immune system and raises that heart rate and apparently if you snog for 5 minutes you burn the same number of calories as if you'd jogged 100 metres.

So if you have your cup of coffee before and a cigarette afterwards (which of course assists with deep breathing, very important for stress-busting), I reckon you'll be well on the way to total health.

alan, indeedy.

my new year's resolution is to lose my man tits. simple as that. start back at the gym next week.

Go for the coffee , fags and kissing, mate. You know it makes sense.

stood outside my house this morning having my cafe and a fag with my back to the wind, rain bouncing off my head, listening to the sound of wheelie bins toppling over and for the first time i really questioned the wisdom of smoking. trouble is all these help-you-quit ads on tele. every time one comes on it makes me want a ciggie.

Ah don't be such a wuss - you can easily knock up one of these in a day.

What is it?

It's a bomb-proof smoking shelter.

Bos, it helps you get out in the fresh air - must be good for you! No good staying inside in the warm, exposed to the multiplication of all those nasty germs.
