Damn the devil, Flask; so you suppose I'm afraid of the devil? Who's afraid of him, except the old governor who daresn't catch him and put him in double-darbies, as he deserves, but lets him go about kidnapping people; aye, and signed a bond with him, that all the people the devil kidnapped, he'd roast for him? There's a governor!" Moby Dick

Nope - it's dares'nt over thereways consarn it!

A shock that he's gone but not a surprise - and Chelsea did play like headless chickens last night. Rafa to caretake until Pep finishes his hols? or let Lampard and Terry fight it out - they could do with a decent rift in the dressing room.

So Monty's back in but Finn's crocked so Broad gets a reprieve - only thing to decide is do Morgan and Bairstow come in for Bell and Patel or will tubby get a second test helping? (sorry - I've been reading tabloids again). I think new blood all round and a kick up the arse for KP et al.

The immediate and compulsory lopping off, chopping down or otherwise eradicating of any and all branches, boughs, bushes and leafy twigs that stray into the area of pavement designated for pedestrians by even an inch - especially those that drop down from above. If I want to walk through a fucking forest I'll go and find a fucking forest.

I think there is some pretty stiff competition for the first to score 0 points legitimately (i.e. without making deliberately silly 10-0 predictions) - The Mis?re trophy is at stake.

Unless the larger (non-awning) 'title' was intended as an informal 'first-name-basis' declaration of what Julia does, indeed, know and the awning statement (hereinafter referred to as the second 'conning') a description of what can be found in the windows o'ershadowed by said awnings and, this time, giving Julia's full name and deciding that her products were such as could be described as her 'beauty'. There is a bucket of scallions round the back bearing the legend Julia Know's Her Onions which is a whole other kettle of fish.

I loved it more last year - it's a little predictable this year and none of the posts has really moved me yet - though I have high hopes for loony fishtank in the finals.

then I was right - you really are an idiot.

"When I moved here I planned on leisurely lunches with friends and healthy dinners with my partner. " then you're an idiot.

gym "shed"? Mate there's poor comps and poor comps but jeez that sounds rough.

I think the subtle message is in the fact that the stripes on the tie come from his right shoulder down (the American way) rather than the left (the British way) - an obvious but subtly calculated insult to GB's waning influence and a wink at Obama.

Ha bloody ha, Newcastle, Stoke, Norwich and Reading have a higher long ball %age right now - Spurs, Everton, Villa and West Brom are not so far off either and the Irons reliance on the hoof has decreased over the last few games. That said, a neck brace might be a wise precaution quids.

Ridiculous decision not to play Monty - agree with Boycs that if he wasn't going to play here he may as well have stayed at home. Compton's technique let him down and sounds like Trott let the pressure get to him - oh, and of course Anderson shouldn't have been put in on a turning wicket that early. If the rest concentrate though (are you listening KP?) I can still see this ending as a draw.

I saw a group of four guys with Breast Cancer Campaign smocks on (you can tell by the logo which is a piece of pink jigsaw puzzle) working their way up Melbourne Grove (from the station end) at around 3.30 - they were knocking on doors in pairs though.

I love a goat ramp... http://www.hicksorchard.com/back/photos/photo_99.jpg ...tried searching for love goat ramp and had to wash my eyes.

Sunnyside by Glen David Gold - a kind of multi-episodic sprawling narrative type revolving around Chaplain, Pickford and Fairbanks et al. with seemingly unrelated elements like lighthouse keepers and wild west shows performing for the Kaiser coming together through the Liberty Loans campaign of future presidential candidate William G McAdoo. only halfway through it though so it could end up being about something else entirely - it's that kind of book.

well it couldn't be sudokos cause that's a pretend Greek island.
