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.

This is the site I meant to be on re my deleted post.

We had a bit to do with Chris and Ingrid Tarrant over the course of a week when they joined our cruise ship last year. We were the paying guests. They were the paid professionals.

I found them to both be very amusing and interesting people. He was a bit of a self-opinionated type of guy and pretty much the identikit guy we all know from his TV show. We both much preferred Ingrid to him and found her quite friendly and chatty. There was a problem punter, and Chris was up for sending him up and making a fool of him on the stage in front of the whole ship. Ingrid, on the other hand, cared about this loser and his problems, like most of the rest of us, and had sympathy for him and wanted to help him.

Anyhow, moving on....

The two of them are in the middle of their divorce battle and fighting it out in the media in a very 'No holds barred now!' type of way and slinging their mud at each other in the press. Extremely personal information is being spewed forth. I find it very amusing. She has my sympathy and I am on her side.

However, don't you think she is being a bit naive?

"Chris came home smelling of fish."

"Chris had blood on his hands. He said he had been fishing."

"Chris couldn't get it up. He has been taking Viagra."

Etc, etc, etc.

First I did a 50/50 on it. Fish? Sorry, no love.

I thought to myself, "He has been phoning a friend, has our Chris!" ;-)

What does the audience think?

Did Chris stop fancying Ingrid? Is that why he needed Viagra?

Had he been fishing? Or was it a bit of a lack of personal hygiene after, err, well, you know?

:-)

20 miles of the M40 closed and causing massive inconvenience to all the regular users, holiday makers and commuters. All to help the police do a thorough search for evidence in connection with the biker shooting murder investigation.

Who gives a stuff?

It's all slightly different to Portugal, eh?

Here in the UK, we keep Pete Docherty out of jail in spite of him repeatedly breaking the law and reoffending with drugs. Neither do we punish him for his lack of respect to our court officials.

Here in the UK, we also jail old age pensioners for not paying the 50 increase in their Council Tax bill.

I think things have all gone kablooie!

Hey, who is running this place?

DocProc,

The problem is not with the Police but with the law as it stands.
It matters not what evidence the Police have (there could be 100 eye witnesses), but if/when the case comes to court, it is found or suggested that they have not fully covered the case, by say not thoroughly searching the scene for evidence they would by criticized and someone would be in serious trouble. It is no longer a problem re that is not found that could be found, but you have to show that there was nothing else to be found. If that makes sense.
Not saying I don't agree with you, as I feel we often go too far and that evidence obtained should be put before a judge, pre trial as they do in some countries.
In this country we never seem to know when enough evidence IS enough.
As to who is running the place It's the liberalizing do gooders that are in charge.
The punishment should fit the crime, but it very rarely does.

what a miserable, bloody day !! ( i seem to be saying and hearing that a lot this summer.)

was it only 2 weeks ago ???

It was sunnier a week ago!

summer

Jimmy B,

The markets are well down, The weather is rotten and I went to the races yesterday, backed in 6 races never got better than 4th.
And then to make matters worse my wife who has been threatening to leave me has changed her mind.
Any chance of cheering us/me up with one of those sexy but tasteful pictures that I don't want you to post, ever again.

That's terrible news greekman ,i'll try and find something like Jenifer Lopez and Cindy Crawford having a naked ice cream fight.

I've just seen on Bloomberg that wild oats shares have risen. I'll be off to sow some then.......

Saw this quote today, must be were I went wrong!-

"There are a number of mechanical devices which increase sexual arousal, particularly in women. Chief among these is the Mercedes-Benz 380SL."

Shouldn't laugh but, she should have bought a Mercedes.

A woman in Australia has been killed by her pet camel after the animal may have tried to have sex with her.

To add to that, I really am not laughing. What a bizarre thing to happen.

how much would one of the dancers be ? ;)

Wally Wallington, a retired construction worker from Michigan, shows the whole world how the Stonehenge was built. He shows how it's so simple and just a matter of ingenuity and he does it alone and so easily too. He moves massive rocks with just the help of some smaller stones and a strapped-on pole. He uses a 'see-saw' principle and also gets the help of gravity. Watch him spin a massive barn on its base. This video is amazing!

Oh boy, it's even more fun when you click on both but not at the same time :)
