Narnia

I try to remember that feeling down is just a reflection of my thoughts at that time. Thoughts I don't have to think. Same as feeling 'up' is a pretender too if it's based on 'happy thoughts'. Try not to think so much is my answer.

Does anyone care if England don't get the WC in 2018? I think it's a disgrace that they haven't had it for so long but once again FIFA members bartering means they are likely to lose out. What's worse is that because Panorama are doing an expose on FIFA on Monday night, the BBC are being called disloyal to the cause. FIFA doesn't like it's dirty washing being aired in public and this will be held against England. It seems to me the only way anyone gets the WC is by buying it in one form or another, a game England quite rightly doesn't want to play.

I knew it Mick...........your 1am posting elsewhere last night was the clue.

Yeah.......you need a drink Mick.......you make much more sense.Roll on the 27th!

Would you expect a mechanic who suggested replacing the battery not to have considered the other options first?

I just know this will get the pulses racing in ED. My other three quarters had a new battery put in her aging car in January, I think. Having the habit of going abroad, sometimes for weeks on end, the last time she came back it was as flat as a squashed dodo. Fair enough I thought as it hadn't been used. On that occasion I got the rescue service to recharge it, drove around for a while and ended my trip at the local garage where it was fitted, just in case it didn't restart. It didn't. They kept it in overnight and all was well. Or so it seemed. This time with her abroad again I decided to give it a run after about 10 days. It was flat again, or almost. I've two questions for any experts out there ( and not of the rabid rabbit type). One, why should a 'new' battery drain so quickly unless it was faulty in the first place? Secondly, do the battery rechargers on sale out there actually work? If they do, do they require being connected to an electricity supply or do you just charge them up first? (bonus question) I'm fed up calling the rescue services or more to the point they are likely to be fed up with me calling them for the same reason. Also I don't wish to be indebted to the local garage who I think rip me off anyway with general car maintenence. What do you advise/recommend please?

Surely 99.9999% of people don't like losing every week? Have you been lucky then WrightC?

Actually I don't think Collins sold out at all. He got as much as he believed was possible at the time. Of course this caused a civil war in Ireland. Just a few years earlier the 1916 rising was frowned upon by the majority of people in Ireland (at least from what my memory of reading Irish history is). The English f*cked up by killing the leaders of the rising, and as they say, the rest is history.

Who has a bath anymore?

Dammit........we're going to have to start winning the Eurovision again.

Edited Mick........not wishing to offend of course.

Sorry to hear of this Pugwash but if memory serves me correctly this type of theft at the same venue was reported on another thread not too long ago.Obviously it's not the first time it's happened there.

I've noticed a decrease in your late night 'witty' posts Mick. Ya reckon it's a side-effect?

My first impression was that it was Darth Vader in a blue helmet.

What about a carrot?

The bus to East Croydon and then a train. I've done it and it quite quick in the morning. I can't remember the number but think it's the 197. It goes along Barry Rd but route starts in Peckham. Earliest bus gets you to EC at 5.22am

Lettuce think about that...........

After that I need to watch something meaningless..........I may watch the x factor.

Isn't that more Crystal Palace than ED? I had a PO guy drop a card through my letterbox this morning and got to the door before he left. He gave me the parcel but asked for the card back. He then put it in my bin. From hearing doorbell to opening the door was probably less than 30 seconds.

Oh.....a threat you won't post!
