Jimbob, is a good story but one I've heard many times before.

The Killing Floor - Howling Wolf

I went to see the MC5 a couple of years back at the Royal Festival Hall and went to the aftershow party. Pearl Lowe and her husband Danny (Supergrass) come over to me and think I'm in the band, which is a bit of a bloody cheek because they rather more older than I am. "Oh hiya, we really enjoyed the show," she says. "Err, actually I'm ligging just like you darling, but thanks anyway." Realising I wasn't in the band or someone famous they discreetly did an about turn and started chatting to someone else, probably famous or probably not. Bloody shallow, superficial bastards!

Hey Negrita - Rolling Stones

Opening gambit from Malcolm McDowell in Gangster Number One (at least I think that's what it's called) "What you take me for...a c**t!

Stupid Girl - Rolling Stones

I worked in the shop on Friday afternoon and rather enjoyed myself between 12.30 and 5. Well, it kept me out of the pub for a bit so I saved a bit of money there. Spent most of the afternoon playing CDs and standing outside getting the rays, managed to sell a few CDs while I was at it so on the whole time well spent.

Me too on Melford Road, not a drop after a had an early afternoon bath but I was woken this morning around 7.30am with the sound of the tanks filling up again. Hoorah!

Yup, The Right Honourable Sir Keef of this Parish is 30 today. Happy birthday big boy. See you down the pub.

If You Think You're Lonely Now - Bobby Womack

A point I'd like to make here is that quite a few of these people aren't homeless at all. They're just professional beggars. I was chatting to one of them the other night outside the Stab & Crime, I'm sure you've seen him on Friday and Saturday nights scrounging for money on Lordship Lane by the EDT, Black Cherry and the Bishop. He's a black guy with a bit of a beard in his late 40s early 50s. I usually give him a couple of quid now and then as he's always very polite and bearing a smile as wide as Goose Green Roundabout but it turns out he lives on the Dog Kennel Hill Estate. Obviously, he's out of work but has turned to begging to help make ends meet.

And another gem from HonaloochieB from the Old Fogies thread today. This guy is seriously funny and has me laughing out loud on a regular basis.. It's refreshing to hear a lady adopting a modest mien these days (if mien is the word I'm looking for). There are far too many 'fast pieces' parading around in outfits that would be considered racey in the marital bed, let alone in the 'less than ten items' queue in Sainburys. I sometimes find myself surrounded by midriffs, cleavage (upper and lower), and thighs. I know it's not fashionable to use the phrase 'brazen hussy' mowadays, but these women are brazen hussies. It's makes it hard to be gentleman these days.

MM wants to have a picnic, at the very least he'd have to go as far as the garden. You can't have a picnic in a living room. Another fine riposte from HonaloochieB, whose well tuned sense of humour always makes me smile.

Some Kinda Love - Velvet Underground

Err...yeah sorry about that. Just couldn't help myself. Maybe I was a little influenced by the fine Italian meal and over indulgence of wine I had at Si Mangia last night. Either that or I've got a bit of sunstroke. Lovely day out...must get away from this damned computer and lay in the garden for a bit.

Justify My Love - Madonna

I think this thread is pasta it's sell by date.

I'm The Urban Spaceman - Bonzo Dog Doo Dah Band

Down The Dustpipe - Status Quo

In the beginning God covered the earth with broccoli, cauliflower, spinach, green, yellow and red vegetables of all kinds so Man and Woman would live long and healthy lives. Then using God's bountiful gifts, Satan created Dairy Ice Cream and Magnums. And Satan said, 'You want hot fudge with that? And Man said, 'Yes!' And Woman said, 'I'll have one too with chocolate chips'. And so they gained 10 pounds. And God created the healthy yoghurt that woman might keep the figure that man found so fair. And Satan brought forth white flour from the wheat and sugar from the cane and combined them. And Woman went from size 12 to size 14. So God said, 'Try my fresh green salad'. And Satan presented Blue Cheese dressing and garlic croutons on the side. And Man and Woman unfastened their belts following the repast. God then said, 'I have sent you healthy vegetables and olive oil in which to cook them'. And Satan brought forth deep fried coconut king prawns, butter-dipped lobster chunks, chicken and fried steak, so big it needed it's own platter and Man's cholesterol went through the roof. Then God brought forth the potato; naturally low in fat and brimming with potassium and good nutrition. Then Satan peeled off the healthy skin and sliced the starchy centre into chips and deep-fried them in animal fats adding copious quantities of salt. And Man put on more pounds. God then brought forth running shoes so that his Children might lose those extra pounds. And Satan came forth with a cable TV with remote control so Man would not have to toil changing the channels. And Man and Woman laughed and cried before the flickering light and started wearing stretch jogging suits. Then God gave lean beef so that Man might consume fewer calories and still satisfy his appetite. And Satan created McDonalds and the 99p double cheeseburger. Then Satan said, 'You want fries with that?' and Man replied, 'Yes, and super size 'em'. And Satan said, 'It is good.' And Man and Woman went into cardiac arrest. God sighed ......... and created quadruple by-pass surgery. And then............ Satan chuckled and created the National Health Service. THE FINAL WORD ON NUTRITION After an exhaustive review of the research literature, here's the final word on nutrition and health: 1. Japanese eat very little fat and suffer fewer heart attacks than us. 2. Mexicans eat a lot of fat and suffer fewer heart attacks than us. 3. Chinese drink very little red wine and suffer fewer heart attacks than us. 4. Italians drink excessive amounts of red wine and suffer fewer heart attacks than us. 5. Germans drink beer and eat lots of sausages and fats and suffer fewer heart attacks than us. 6. The French eat foie-gras, full fat cheese and drink red wine and suffer fewer heart attacks than us CONCLUSION: Eat and drink what you like. Speaking English is apparently what kills you.

Hmmmmm...Pasta
