Hickory smoked y-fronts?

You're right, maybe those unfortunate not to have a garden could build a barbecue in their kitchen sink, hoik open the windows and crank up the extractor fan to 11. And in case you havent actually cooked any of the meat thoroughly and the dicky tummy kicks in your BBQ is also a ready made vomitorium. Win-twinned-with-win folks.

I dont like the look of your lookalike.

Yep, as a Spurs fan I was a little gutted but you have to hand it to Drogba another final, another priceless goal(or 2 if you count the winning pen), the mans awesome. Shame JT had to come along and make it all about him. Still if this scenario was ever going to unfold the way it did then it was always going to be Spurs who suffered. We're starting to look a little hapless. Channel 5 on a thursday night again it is. Ho-hum. :-S

My lovely girlfriend recieved her doctorate in Neuroscience from Cambridge and if its not Hollyoaks, TOWIE or My Big Gay Gypsy Zumba Session its the Mail online. Baffled(?).

Anything from Pseuds corner really, check out this nugget of word-w**kery from the esteemable Michael Gove: "The Hegelian philosophical principle that out of a thesis and its opposed antithesis comes the hardy alloy of a synthesis has a seductive power". MICHAEL GOVE The Times

KFC is still my guilty gorge. I do get the suspicious feeling its not as good as it was back in the 'day'(whenever that was).

Its even better if you brine it first for 24 hours. (tu)

Good point Tanday but if ever anyone has earned the right to try its Moyes. Its been a rollercoaster ride with 'Arry but without a smidgen of tactical nous applied when desperately needed hes been found out when it matters most. My beloved chickens have well and truly choked. Its the hope what gets you. ;-)

Anyone?

My Ipod was stolen a month ago so ever since I've been slightly bereft of my weekly podcast fix. My girlfriend suggested I use hers, it was a xmas gift last year and has never been used in anger although I did set up an Itunes account in her name. I opened up her itunes account this morning, plugged in her ipod and got the 'An ipod has been detected but cannot be identified properly...' spiel, followed by the 'If the problem persists unistall itunes reinstall again' bumph, which I've done twice now. All that happens when I reinstall it is that a seemingly new version installs but is populated with all my old podcasts and music...and it still doesnt recognise the missus' ipod. Grr, please advise as the official Apple website is next to useless. Its a touch screen Nano by the way. Thanks for reading. :'(

Hastings old town is lovely, not too keen on the newer part though. Rye, just up the coast is particularly beautiful.

This thread should offer a few ideas. :))

I've always felt the same way about carrots.

Ah, glad you enjoyed it. I've gone off piste on that walk many a time and have always found something new.

I've recently rediscovered Sci-Fi and after a couple of China Mievilles books am now half way throught he first of Iain.M.Banks Culture novels. Superb...and surprisingly funny to boot.

Whilst walking along a coastal path in Cornwall last weekend I noticed that the good berghers of that wondrous county had taken to placing their canine turdage in plastic bags before hoying them into nearby trees. I couldnt quite grasp the peculiar mentality that would have you pick up your dogs crap, place it in a carrier bag and then chuck it in a bush. Me and the missus had fun spotting the blighters in amongst gorse and dangling from branches though. Odd people....the Cornish, not us. :))

I concur, I have benefitted from free garden furniture, CDs, a sofa that is still in use today and various other bits & pieces over the years. :))

Eynsford in kent is lovely and you can walk from there onto Shoreham for a pint before catching the train back to London(20-30mins).

Wow, looks like all that oil money can even buy you a place in the World Cup finals...Cushty.

Makes sense, apparently Bragg established a British Red Brigade back in the 60s and has a gay friend who works for the Racial Equality Commission.

Yeah, whats with the price increase? I feel I have to go at least 4 times a week to justify the 40 odd quid outlay I'd been using this pool for 4 years until recently but have since started using Peckham Pulse instead, not nearly as busy and lane times to suit. The showers/plumbing at Dulwich have been dicey seemingly from day one, its a shame becasue the refurb was great but now the varnish seems...well, tarnished.

Best thread in ages, nice one GG. I've had hours of fun with this today(the taxidermy book in particular}, tomorrow me and the ginger ninja are off to the Rye to kidnap some squirells, sew some chicken wings to their foreheads and let them loose on an unsuspecting public. Should make for an interesting bible group meeting amongst the elderly bibleheads.

I think its one of those 'so bad its good' pieces.

Its the slugs I feel sorry for, not only do they have to wander around sans shell but they also suffer the indignity of being sliced in two by avid gardeners and tossed over a neighbours fence without so much as a by your leave. Snails? Pah.
