THE TALK TO YOURSELF THREAD. (NOWT)     

goldfinger - 09 Jun 2005 12:25

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.

Cheers guys and gals.
I am in financial services so I think that answers the question about honesty.
I will drink a drink to Dutch Buearocracy and forget I ever went to Delft (though it is a most Beautiful town).

LOL I trust you had a good time (and that you don't have any pressing reasons to visit Holland again, as you are now undoubtedly on a "wanted" list somewhere) :o)

Should I turn out to be wrong and you get a summons, please let us know (and we'll all wet ourselves laughing!)

Had a fab time, ST.
Been taking the ankle biters to the same place in Holland for 10 years and they love it.
Sadly they are too old now to enjoy it to the full, so we may never go again and have to put up with more mundane destinations like the Maldives and Mauritius.
For anyone with kids under about 12, I can really recommend the place though, if you don't mind staying in a mobile home or tent.

Alan,

I think we have an extradition treaty with Holland, so if I were you I would go into hiding.

soul traders - 04 Jun 2007 14:44 - 5981 of 81564

Greekman, LOL!

Alan, That sounds great. Tents are fine - may go myself sometime (although I will clearly have to borrow somebody's children).

So sorry you are now reduced to holidaying in the Maldives. If it ever gets too much you can always send me your tickets :o)

I guess your kids are now heading for holidaying in Ibiza and/or Agia Napa under their own steam?

Al ,,i owe the Germans a fine from 1994 for a motoring offence + i also owe the French money from 2003 for speeding and i never turned up for a court appearance,,i suppose that puts me in the same wanted bracket as Osama Bin Laden ,i'm a bad MF .

hewittalan6 - 04 Jun 2007 21:30 - 5983 of 81564

If the German and French police are like ours about speeding fines, you are way higher up the wanted list than Osama. He only kills people, you SPEED!!!!

While we are on the subject, it occurs to me that the government sponsored message "Speed Kills" is wrong. If it were the case, then why are aeroplanes such a safe form of transport?

The Liverpool manager flies to Baghdad to watch a young Iraqi play football and is suitably impressed and arranges him to come over to Anfield.
2 weeks later, Liverpool are 4-0 down to Man Utd, with only 20 minutes left to play.
The manager gives the young Iraqi striker the nod, and on he goes.
The lad is a sensation, scores 5 goals in 19 minutes and wins the game for Liverpool. The fans are delighted, the players and coaches are delighted and the media love the new star.
When he comes off the pitch, he phones his mum to tell her about his first day in English football. "Hello, mum, guess what?" he says in an Iraqi accent. "I played for 20 minutes today, we were 4-0 down but I scored 5 and we won. Everybody loves me, the fans, the media, they all love me".
"Wonderful," says his mum, "Let me tell you about my day. Your father got shot in the street and robbed, your sister and I were ambushed, gang raped and beaten and your brother has joined a gang of looters so the police keep barging in searching for him and any loot, and all while you were having such a great time."
The young lad is very upset, "What can I say mum, but I'm so sorry."
"Sorry?!!! Sorry?!!!" says his mum, "It's your bloody fault we moved to liverpool in the first place!"

I very often see where a joke is heading before the punch line but not this time.

Brightened the day, Very funny.

LOL - great!

Here is a chronology of events since Paris Hilton's arrest in September last year.

Sept. 7: Officers arrest Paris Hilton in Hollywood for investigation of driving under the influence after she was spotted "driving erratically."

Sept. 26: Hilton is charged with misdemeanor driving under the influence.

Jan. 9: Hilton's lawyers enter not guilty pleas on her behalf to one count each of driving under the influence and driving with a blood-alcohol level of .08 or above.

Jan. 15: Hilton is pulled over by California Highway Patrol and informed that her license is suspended. She signs a document acknowledging she is not to drive.

Jan. 22: Hilton pleads no contest to a reduced charge of alcohol-related reckless driving. She is placed on three years probation, ordered to enroll in alcohol education and pay $1,500 in fines.

Feb. 27: Hilton is ticketed for misdemeanor driving with a suspended license. A copy of the document signed Jan. 15 is found in her glove compartment.

March 29: The city attorney's office says it will ask a judge to revoke Hilton's probation.

May 3: Prosecutors recommend Hilton serve 45 days in jail for a probation violation.

May 4: Judge Michael Sauer sentences Hilton to 45 days in jail.

May 6: Publicist Elliot Mintz says he and Hilton have parted ways over an apparent "misunderstanding she received from me regarding the terms of her probation."

May 8: Hilton rehires Mintz.

May 9: Hilton hires a new attorney, Richard A. Hutton, who specializes in DUI (Driving Under the Influence) cases.

May 14: Psychiatrist Charles Sophy says in court documents that Hilton is "distraught and traumatized as a consequence of the findings at the May 4 hearing ... and her fear of incarceration."

May 16: Sheriff's officials say Hilton will serve 23 days in a special unit away from the general population.

May 17: Hilton drops an appeal of her jail sentence.

June 3: Hilton reports to the Century Regional Detention Facility in Lynwood after attending the MTV Movie Awards and saying she's ready to serve her sentence.

June 4: Hilton's attorney says his client is doing well under the circumstances.

June 7: Hilton is released from jail because of an undisclosed medical problem and is ordered serve the rest of her sentence in home confinement. Judge Sauer later orders Hilton to appear in his courtroom to determine whether she should return to jail. Hilton's spokesmen Elliot Mintz's stated the heiress was "suffering from acute home sickness, painful detoxification and can't sleep away from her toy poodle Kinkajou." Bummer, eh? The Office of Lee Baca allegedly stated that Pairs Hilton did allegedly visit the Sheriff allegedly after midnight on Wednesday, but also stated the alleged sexual encounter that allegedly followed was "in no way related to her release."

June 8: Superior Court Judge Michael T. Sauer sends the sheriff to her home and orders Paris Hilton be brought to court Friday for a hearing on her early release from jail rather than listen to the proceedings by telephone.

Watch this space.....

Would that be this space ?

Deputies escorted Hilton out of the room, holding each of her arms as she looked back.

Suspicions confirmed - she's a hydra.
