Hmm, not sure what you're getting at there Karter, I don't recall saying I was being nice to you now... (are you suggesting it might have been the whisky talking?) And Mr Lush, simmer down there buddy - if the man wants to pay me a compliment, don't you be getting in his way. Right now I need as many as I can get.

Unmarried I may be MM, but I ain't no lady. However I may now be not only unmarried but also unemployed, having attempted to click on your excellent-sounding dating website. Apparently the company's internet filter recognises it as pornography.

Cripes, I certainly hope not karter.

Hmm, could be, could be. How very prosaic though - I thought I was having olfactory hallucinations from the delirium...

No no, SteveT - only this week, people at a university somewhere have found that going to work on an egg is a very good thing indeed - it's very much of THIS time.

Ahhh, fish fingers...

Quite right, quite right - better out than in young *Bob*ster Still, I'm quite peckish now and I've got nowt in - any left?

The Dark is Rising (oh Susan Cooper, you were super) Salt n Shake Yes to those green shield stamps (my nan used to collect them down the co-op: I think sometimes we got sweets, and sometimes we just nicked her Rennies out of the drawer) Now that's what I call music (I had the first one, without any numbers, on vinyl - at work today, a couple of people said the first one they got was number 18 - gadzooks) Novelty records - grandma we love you, save your love my darling, matchstalk men and matchstalk cats and dogs - in fact why don't they make songs about painters anymore? (and I could have told you Vincent, this world was never meant for one as beautiful as you)

It could just be me. Is anyone burning the mesquite?

You say that jimmy, my ex used to "run with the Spurs" (as he puts it - and long before I ever knew him) - he's writing a book on his exploits

I made up some excuse or other for not attending last year, but may actually give it a go this time. The thought of running has latterly gained some appeal. Am thrilled to see the Big Mac maintained his Man in Black persona in the face of all the Hawaiian shirts and day-glo though - hope we can expect the same this year, especially if you are running Sean.

Clockhouse is my local so will aim to be at this one - it's been a wee while

I know it Brum, I know it - I learned it see.

Surely depends if you want a conviction, in which case you have to say public...? Don't believe in branding children "evil", but neither have I seen the psychiatric reports from the release. I would rather see a fair trial and someone guilty sent to prison, than Jack Straw publicly eviscerated and a dangerous man walk free.

Men pretend the offside rule is complicated. Tonight I have learned that it has nothing whatever to do with ketchup, salt cellars and HP sauce, and everything to do with how many defenders between you and the goal. Does this mean that parallel parking and single malts are also ridiculously straightforward?

Tell you what HAL, why don't you have a rummage about online and see if you can't find some evidence of me and life-threatening pastimes - I'm sure there's some out there (*sniggers*) Or now that LM's expressed her disapproval on the subject of stalking, wouldn't that be allowed?

Apologies for completely going off the deep end this morning. Myself and the end of my tether have long since parted company, but that was no excuse to call anyone names. I just find that it's impossible to write anything with any degree of thought or sincerity on the forum these days, mired as it is in the puerile and snide. As for my subsequent post, again, apologies. I should have said something at the time rather than just editing my original post, but HAL, your ebay sleuthing last week made me deeply deeply uncomfortable. BBW was roundly slated for similar facebook behaviour and I found it really creepy.

They charge a non-refundable ?50 just to REGISTER you - whether you subsequently get a place or not. How terribly "first shall be last and last first" and "rich man / eye of a needle" of them...

Find some intelligent conversatiom

I haven't got one. I know they can be properly serious and terrifying, but still my month long run-in with an 8 stone weakling and his cuddly toys and roses and surprising turning ups at the pub makes me feel entirely inadequate. Still Legal, I reckon you could take her...

And Roast do a fantastic selection of liveners to whet your appetite before lunch

Quite like the Garrison for a beverage, but for food, Bermondsey Kitchen just up the road used to be great (but I haven't been in over a year, so can't still vouch for it - just looked at the menu though and am salivating a not-inconsiderable amount)

Haha, Hal, you looked it up? Close but no cigar - the cancelled bid was before the frenzy and took it all back to a quite normal price (?20) for a day or so. My goodness, you're a bit like BBW and his facebook cyber-sleuthing...
