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.

I.m.o people that dont go to work including men and women that stay at home to look after the kids (havent they heard of nannies) excluding those that have retired, should be kept of our roads it should be illegal for them to own cars. There is no rush hour anymore its all day, on your day of or when you have finished work you can not go any where or get home.
If people do not work then walk lazy s*ds.


Ban Christmas and religions we should all have the whole of December off.

A penguin walks into a bar and asks the barman "have you seen my brother?"
"I dont know" says the barman "what does he look like?"

Had occassion to go to London yesterday. No fun, as usual except for one bright spot.
Every building was festooned with no smoking signs, to the extent that i wondered where on earth the Christmas lights would go. But in one establishment was an extra sign in a prominent position.
It read;
The management thank you for not smoking. If you are smoking, they thank you for allowing us to rip your head off your shoulders, stick it up your arse, and pass the 50 fine to your widow.
Hate the law, love the humour.

I was up town the other day and met James Whale in person nice bloke, if you don't know who he is you should. He has got a new book out, he says Global warming is a load of old rubbish and he is not going to recycle anything what we should do is reduce the amount of people on the planet that should sort it out. Just some of his views.

Sat in on his Radio Aire late night phone in on the night of Andrew & Fergies wedding................but thereby hangs another tale.....................

Who gets the vote this weekend, then guys???
The Archbishop of Canterbury who is worried about child and youth crime and so proposes to raise the age of criminal consent. He claims that a 16 year old may not know right from wrong. It would certainly reduce youth crime figures. To zero!!
Or is it the ministry mandarin concerned that not enough 14 year olds are passing the Sats tests at school. His proposal is to make sure only clever kids sit the tests and the rest don't. Winning formulas in my opinion, to make sure the figures reflect policy success.
Neither actually do anything for the problem, of course, but if the problem doesn't appear in official statistics, it doesn't officially exist and no-one has to do anything about it.
Sheer genius.

The vote for me is Jools Holland who I went to see last night with Lulu playing in Cambridge, if you get the chance go and see them excellent show.

World Vision are a very well known Christian charity doing enormously good work, and I would recommend them 110%. I know many people who support them.

thanks , seymour. i just wanted to make sure.

We actually bought a goat in lieu of a wedding present (as requested by the couple in question). They were much more expensive then, perhaps goat futures have collapsed in the meantime. Of course there is no way of checking whether the goat actually arrived or indeed if it has been eaten.

well, it made me laugh.

cheers , kayak. my sis wants some fruit trees. d'ya get your money back if they don't bear fruit ? :)

Why d'you have to make things so complicated?
Buy yourself a couple of cartons of Copella apple juice - and then you can give her the apple tree they throw in.
Sorted.

I got a cow for my wedding, (only kidding, I love her really). My wife got a stallion,
(well I can dream can't I).

in glasglow you'l be lucky to get out alive if you speak in an english accent better speak like a pole

Bos,
You'll get a very acceptable pint o' heavy and a deep fried Mars bar almost anywhere in Glasgow.
I checked the Michelin guide for you, and under Glasgow its recommendation for eating out is a little place near the train station called "The Ticket office" where you can get a cheap return to Carlisle.
