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.

When he turns out for Arsenal at the weekend, it will be his 800th game for Manchester United.

I'm confused dot com.

Doh!

Thank you for pointing it out. :-)

Perhaps I meant 'for the Arsenal match'? Whatever.

Anyhow, duly edited and corrected.

You're welcome!!

Anyway, it is now duly listed in "colemanballs", and has only been seen by about 12 million so far.

Ryan Giggs, has always been one of my favorite players. To see him go down the wing in full flow was and sometimes still is brilliant to see. Also one of the few gentlemen players left.
Well deserved Giggsy.

He is a Welshman. So of course he is a gentleman!

Always takes a box of chocolates for Dolly the sheep.........................

He did have a dip in form a few years back when he was dating Danny Behr. I guess he was using his energy elsewhere.

Anyone read the latest ploy for those taxed at 40% going to 50%.
For those earning over 100,000 it will often be far more lucrative to take a slice of their salary in share options. This is due to CGT being set at 18% against the proposed 50% tax added to the loss for those on 150,000 plus also loosing their personal allowance (in stages of increase).
So apart from the 'Killing the golden goose' it looks like the said goose is looking at ways to avoid the axe.
Mind you perhaps the aim of New (sick) Labour is to have all the entrepreneurs leave the country to the none productive lot that they can always rely on for a vote
The muppet government strikes again.

Be very good for shares though.

Alan,

We have been through this before (sheep) but I did not know my girlfriend 'dolly' was playing around.
Talking about girlfriends please someone, make my day and post a picture of Christine Pillow ( I can drean can't I). I have tried but a bit of a technophobe.

Is this ok

Many thanks Jeffmack.

I think you will agree, that is more than OK. You HAVE made my day.

Alan,

You can have my 'Dolly', I have just fell madly in love (well lust really) with Christine.

In the above picture, Christine Pillow is modelling 'Autograph' lingerie from M & S.

More from the range, also featuring Christine as the model, can be found at:

The photographer is Simon Longhurst and apparently to do these shots he took Christine out to The Fortress Hotel, Galle, Sri Lanka

Nice work if you can get it, eh? Hmmm? Now where's my Canon?

ExecLine,

Every time I look at Christine, I know where my 'Cannon' is.

:-)

Just been sent this link - very moving.

Over 120m people have watched and listened on the Internet to Susan Boyle.

Indeed, I do think she is a fantastic singer myself.

Here's another fantastic person. This guy is called Danny MacAskill and he rides a street bike.

Oh, and he rides it along spiky fences, up trees, he does flips and leaps from shop canopy to shop canopy and all sorts of phenominally weird stuff like that. He's a bike genius and nearly as good, if not better in his way, than Susan Boyle. So far his You Tube video hit rate is 2.5m. You can watch him below:

I never thought that the term, 'Absolutely Amazing' could be used in the same sentence as 'understatement', but how else can you describe this.
Fantastic ability.

Interesting developments from Gorden@number10 this morning.

He has read the headlines in a few papers and made the following announcements via his facebook site;

The IMF has reported that there are up to 10 million jobs in jeopardy, and to help the UK economic crisis, Gordon has announced 7 Trillion in funding for free courses leading to an NVQ1 in Jeopardise as a business language and subsidised flights to jeopardy for all unemployed.

The WHO has said that european deaths from swins flu are inevitable. After checking an atlas, Gordon has been unable to find Evitable anywhere in Europe, so it must be one of those tiny ex communist states that no-one knows where they are on a map. He is now lobbying the EU to close all borders with Evitable, and ban flights in and out of there.

Finally, an article in the OK magazine says laughter is the best medicine, so Gordon is sending DVD's of old Morecome & Wise Christmas shows out to all households with the Swine flu leaflet. He is also instigating comedy training for all NHS staff and changing the national anthem to "Always look on the bright side of life".

Funnily enough, I think these are probably his best and most constructive responses yet............................

It's sad but true, GB is now more of a figure of fun that a serious politician.
But are GB and AD the new Morecome and Wise, or perhaps more of a Laurel and Hardy, (that's another fine mess etc, etc).

Greek, I think your argument is flawed. With Laurel & Hardy, at least one of them knew what was going on whereas .....
