Brendan

Anyway back on the point correct me if I?m wrong (and I?m sure you will) didn?t Japan abandon its military after WW2? How did that work out? I kinda understand that they have taken the idea up again now but they seemed to do pretty well over the second part of the last century. You know with Toyota and Akira and shit.

I always thought Constantine?s downfall was when he fell foul of the First of the Fallen by selling his soul to the Lords of Hell in order to trick them into curing his terminal lung cancer.

Back on the original point, have you condisered clunge? Which is a question that can be employed in various circumstances.

He's put on a bit of weight old Richard.

Is this the Richard Hamond appreciation thread?

Yeah it isn't all about Milton Keynes yeh get me.

Is that an observation about economics or an indictment of US backed military dictatorships with dodgy human rights records?

Narnia's link is funny because Irish people eat potatoes.

Well it doesn't allow motherfucker.

Motherfucker, so it does.

Good swearing there Rosie. I've not heard a "motherf***ing" for at least a fortnight.

Yeah but you are allowed to poke yourself in the eye with a snooker cue in most pubs. It isn't very sensible I grant you but it isn't against the rules. Or is it? What sort of snooker cue we talking here anyway. Have you brought your own in a little leather bag which you screw together or is it the one you had to leave a fiver deposit for behind the bar? And very few pubs have snooker tables anyway. It's pool or nowt mostly. Are you in the Gowlett. Did you put chilli oil on your diablo? All in all, as you can see, it really isn't such a cut and dried issue.

No, not as such. Only that any prohibition, if indeed there is any, is not explicitly communicated so a reasonable person could be forgiven for assuming it is acceptable. I mean the least they could do is hang a sign behind the bar saying ?Buggery is verboten!? or somesuch so that if there is a bit of a kerfuffle and the landlord does have to employ his stout stick and a bucket of water he can point to it and say, ?you were asked nicely.? Bastards!

Will they let me taste the wiskeys though? Will they buggery.

Not in ED. In the depths of deepest darkest Surrey.

Scratch that. more like 400 years before it existed. 200 years before it was settled by Europeans.

I live in a house that was built in the late 14 hundreds. The idea of how many people must have been born, lived, grown, dreamt and died within the 4 walls where I eat porridge, play with the baby and watch East Enders freaks me out man. The bloody house was built 200 years before the country I am from existed. That?s odd.

Why would I be looking forward to avoiding her? Underground or otherwise?

Ladymuck Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- Northern > roots...sorry, By ?roots? do you mean potatoes? Only, you see, it is a curiosity to visitors to this moistened isle that as you travel North through its counties the population?s appearance becomes proportionately more spud like. This is notable because of the already noticeable potatoeiness you are greeted by when you click your heels on the harbour side at Southampton.

I'm confused. Are you implying that there is a difference between foreigners and northerners?

My cooker seems to run best on compliments and chocolate.
