What worries me, not to detract at all from Lloyds? magnanimity in the matter of course, is that in the long run it will create a bigger group to monopolise the market which will be worse for the consumer.

I'm not sure but I have a Danish friend who I will ask about it tomorrow.

That's it. I'm taking my savings and investing them in Zimbabwe while the pound is still worth something.

Four, I said four paragraphs.

You've just used 3 paragraphs to say, "I'm sick of walking up that fucking hill."

Wot she said. (tu)

In his defence, and in the defence of grumpy old married men everywhere, I think it is mainly the flocking wallpaper that has got to him. Personally I think wallpaper should have race cars on it. Like I had in my room before I got married.

You can get drunk on cheese?

Works in my experience. Little bit of violence never hurt anyone.

That'll learn ya.

I still remember very clearly being about 3 or 4 years old and thinking I would try it on with this crying and screaming thing. My dad picked me up, looked me in the eye and said, ?What?s going to happen now is you are going to get a hiding. The sooner you stop throwing a fit the sooner it will stop.? I weighed up my options and quickly shut up. He then gave me the option to tell him what was bothering me. Can?t remember what it was though.

What like a swimming cap?

Like Chavmoiselle I also think it is a slang term for a johnny but I am always a bit confused by the context in which it is used.

Taught I think is the word you are looking for. Everybody knows that the split infinitive has been acceptable ever since Star Trek first graced our screens. Anyway I thought I declared the matter closed. So do not bother my genius with such outdated grammatical constructs or I will be forced to employ liberal use of my debating knobkierie.

I heard a similar joke in a pub a few nights ago except it involved an aussie a yank and a paddy. And some spectacularly bad attempts at their accents.

Indeed not, my facetiousness was completely voluntary. EDITED for eloquence.

I was thinking of organising a bored to death with the same old bollocks march but I?m too fed up to be bothered.

Essentially the British education system is fucked. It only takes an objective observer to notice this. An introspective ?British? approach to a solution will only fuck it up even more. This is because it is poisoned by two main factors, firstly an historical social/class structure, firmly entrenched and built on a continuing foundation of privilege and exploitation and secondly, polarising, popular concepts of liberalism and conservatism, firmly entrenched and built on a continuing foundation of stupidity. So I would advise scrapping the whole lot and looking beyond this island for a robust system that can be adopted. Finland or Denmark would be good places to start. That is mine and the final word on the issue as 31 years experience of my own opinions has left me little reason to doubt them.

Blame the French and the Germans The Vikings, Celts and the Romans Each has come and left its mark Like roo, roux, rue and marque, cast, caste But will the language fair survive The new invader to arrive Or will Aardvark to zyxt be stricken By the onslaught of American

What does this one mean again? >:D

Did you go down EDOldie? What's it like?

True. I find' it a pity because I often see things in the window I would like but I'm put off by my experience so I don't bother going in. If someone had just been offish with me I probably wouldn't have let it bother me but I get irrationally defensive when friends and family are involved.

Last time I was in there was over 2 years ago and it was a quiet weekday afternoon. I was with friends who were visiting from South Africa. They wanted to know about a lot of the products they had because they were obviously foreign to them. When the asked questions the staff were just plain rude to them. I then tried to help out a bit and they were rude to me too. I don?t have time for people like that.

I've always thought of East Dulwich as being a bit more like Gwar but then I did take that dodgy trip back in '95.

I love that song. The opening lines are brilliant. I just called my wife over and said, ?Remember this?? To which she shook her head and called me a girl. :-S
