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.

No Jimmy, it's not you, it's the new image. I thought at first I was seeing things.
Will take a bit of getting used to.

Seymour: Only just noticed, have you? You should have gone to . . . no, I just can't bring myself to say it . . .

Jimmy b,

You might grow to like it. I am one of those people who generally doesn't like change, (had the same wife now for nearly 30 years, hope her husband never finds out) but I do like the new format.
But everyone to his/her own.

Daily Telegraph.

Reports that a prisoner who was wrongly convicted of a murder has been granted compensation. Nothing wrong with that, obviously.
But he is now being compensated for 1.4 million after becoming a Heroin addict in prison (I kid you not). He stated that the prison should have done more to stop him becoming an addict.
In the same article it reveals that nearly 200 prisoners have been awarded 3,807 each because they were forced to give up Heroin in jail, 'against their human rights'.
It appears that if you are a drug addicted prisoner some you win, and some you win.
The mind boggles.

greek i dont like change if its technical , changing your woman is ok ,i can cope with that ,everythings in the same place ,just different girl,,now if mobile phones were like that ....

I quite liked changing my TV from being 5ft deep to 5ft wide

Has anyone ever changed their woman just to get a better quality of mother-in-law?

My mother-in-law has an annoying habitshe wakes each morningffs joke

Jimmy b,

Ah, but only if everything was in the same place.
You meet a gorgeous sexy 20 something year old, with a fantastic figure. She gets to 50 and for some reason everything sort of moves south, IE not in the same place. Of course as a man that has not happened to me, I am still the same Greek god like figure of a man that my wife first met 30 years ago.
If only.

Tried to think of a mother-in-law joke but my humour has left me, it always did when I pictured mine. Remember Reginald Perrin's thought picture of his mother-in-law. If only I could cut/paste pictures. No doubt someone will help me out.

I think everything should have a new grey background. I like it.

Excepting wives and girlfriends, of course, which should ideally have at least a bit of a slightly filthy background.

MM - I'm a clinician as far as eyes are concerned - what do you expect me to look at?

No, don't answer that - and thank you for not mentioning the name of the company :-))

Another take on my post re prisoners and human right.
Now that they also have conjugal right (that according to the Greekman dictionary is meaningless duty bound sex within marriage, not the illicit sex that has you screaming and yelling, yes, yes o blood yes that you see in porno films, or so they tell me. You know the sort that blows your mind......yes I did say mind) perhaps they could take legal action against the state if their wives/partners become pregnant, receiving compensation and enforcing the tax payer to support their offspring.
OK forget the last bit as we do anyway.
Call me a cynic if you like, but it does make you wonder just where this country of ours is heading.

Heading?
