I agree with *Bob*. There's never any need to be rude to anyone. A polite "no thank you" with a smile has always worked for me. Mind you when the JWs have come round in the past they normally take one look at me and think I'm a lost cause anyway, so I guess that helps.

A man is convicted of theft in court. "Before I read your sentence," says the Judge, "have you anything to say for yourself?" "Yes", replies the man. "As God is my witness, I am innocent." The Judge replies: "Well he isn't. I am.. You aren't. Six months."

*Strolls into the room full of the joys of spring* *Sees MD74 somewhat dejected and slumped in armchair* *Here's one for your soon to be former colleagues* A man is convicted of theft in court. "Before I read your sentence," says the Judge, "have you anything to say for yourself?" "Yes," replies the man. "As God is my witness, I am innocent." The Judge replies: ""Well he isn't. I am. You aren't. Six months." *I think it's Pimms O'clock.* *Starts making up a big jug* *Anyone else fancy some?*

Having been brought up in pounds and ounces I find it very hard to change to the metric system but I suppose it does make more sense. Should we drink our beer in Steins or pint glasses though?

Enjoy the game Annasfield and let's hope we beat the Russians comfortably.

One night wouldn't be enough would it. The demand for tickets would be unbelievable. But of course I'd love to go. I was meant to see Led Zepplin in '75 at Earls Court but for some reason which slips my mind missed the gig even though I had a ticket.

I think England should progress tonight and have tipped them to win 2-1 but the other game that really intrigues me is the France v Scotland game and although I've tipped the French to win 2-1 I have just got a sneaking suspicion that they are a little bit past it, although they've been written off before during the last World Cup they still managed to get through to the final, albeit losing to Italy. Anyway, I'd really like Scotland to win tonight and also think that the Republic could cause a bit of shock against the Czech Republic, although obviously it will be very tough for them. Best of luck to all the British teams tonight.

I lived on the estate for three years from '87 to '90 and it's true as far as I know that they were used as stretchers during WWII.

I remember the days of the Clapham Grand Sean and it was a great venue. Saw The Fall there and a recharged Dr Feelgood before Lee Brilleaux sadly snuffed it. I suppose I could dream too. For instance The Capitol in Forest Hill (dread Weatherspoons that it is now) used to be a cinema/theatre that played host to the likes of the Stones and the Who in the early 60s and I can't see why that can't be revived as a venue for bands. Or then again where the police station is. Knock it down and we'll have a little place like the Camden Underworld, that'd do me.

Good call James.

No, I wouldn't want to push my luck with that. As you well know Ladygooner our recent form against your lot isn't very good is it.

If you want a real pub ratty, go to the CPT. Thoroughly recommended on this forum throughout. A proper boozer.

I've said this before on the other threads relating to same issue...a decent second hand record shop/music store selling vinyl/cds and or musical instruments (guitars etc etc).

In the office at One Canada Square, Canary Wharf. Watched it all unfold live on TV. Some people were in a bit of a panic and allowed to go home if they so desired because there was a little fear that we were going to be next but most of us soldiered on.

And a large chest? Shapely bottom is also an added bonus. Sorry for being so sexist but us chaps like to have something to look at when we're drooling over our pints.:)-D

England v Russia 2-1 Scotland v France 1-2 Iceland v Northern Ireland 2-0 Slovakia v Wales 3-1 Czech Republic v Republic Of Ireland 3-2

Hope he's not ill

Yes I have. Bus to Forest Hill, then train to New Cross Gate, then tube..blah blah blah. I found that after a while what often happened was that somewhere along the line something would breakdown. The usual thing is train late, then a wait for another tube at NCG, cancelations, points failures etc etc. I also found that if I got the timing wrong on the way back it would take twice as long to get home so I've simplified my journey by taking either P4 or 185 to Lewisham and then the DLR to Canary Wharf. Much easier and takes about 45-50 min and still Zone 2-3.(tu)

Alan, you're such a party pooper. As it happens I'm going to a birthday party this afternoon. Second one of the week in fact. I love a party but then I am a hedonist.:))

A city boy, Kenny moved to the country and bought a donkey from an old farmer for $100. The farmer agreed to deliver the donkey the next day. The next day the farmer drove up and said: "Sorry son, but I have some bad news, the donkey died." Kenny replied: "Well then, just give me my money back." The farmer said: "Can't do that, I went and spent it already." Kenny said: "OK then, at least give me the donkey." The farmer asked: "What ye gonna do with him." Kenny: "I'm going to raffle him off." Farmer: "You can't raffle off a dead donkey." Kenny: "Sure I can. Watch me. I just won't tell anybody he is dead." A month later the farmer met up with Kenny and asked: "What happened with that dead donkey?" Kenny: "I raffled him off. I sold 500 tickets at two dollars a piece and made a profit of $900." Farmer: "Didn't anyone complain?" Kenny: "Just the guy who won. So I gave him his two dollars back." Kenny grew up and eventually became the chairman of Enron. Not quite in line with this thread and I guess it should be in the jokes section but just the mere mention of Enron and I couldn't help myself. Hope it lightened things up a bit.

*Bob*, I feel the lyrics to Common People coming on here. "you'll never watch your life slide out of view."

Kiwis or Aussies for me.

The Fat Cats in the City are raking it in

Which nobody can deny.
