Are they powdered hedgehogs?  Any good in curries? Everybody likes a laugh don't they, have a look at Rhod Gilbert and his lost luggage routine. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OISGykO6Z7U PS. I posted this last night, I do hope it wasn't the cause of the days postings being lost[Www] PPS. He comes from Wales so it's kind of musical.

Thank god for these postings, I thought it was me.  Edited. In line with current trends to whom can we attach blame and who to claim compo from for a couple of written masterpieces I posted yesterday

[:D][:D]  Oh Wooly you have admit though that Norman can always come up with a new low. I wouldn't mind betting that he is challenged in the height department. Please don't change Norman there are too few of your like on the forum.

The date today is 3/2/10!

You swine[:D]

I totally agree with Dog and Cooperlola.  When you read and hear about what goes down the drains and spread on farmers fields, what you do with your loved ones ashes are small potatoes.  Now there's an idea. I've left firm instructions for my children about where I want my ashes to go, the saddest thing about it is that I won't be able to see the looks on their faces when they read my letter. Incidentally I reckon they would also agree with Dog and Coops, unless I haven't brought them up to think for themselves.

[quote user="krusty"] "Simpsons? I started a post on accents a little while back, I should have added silly voices as well. I'm gradually whittling down the people I find I can put up with in my old age." So am I in or out ? [Www] [/quote] I couldn't sleep very well last night worrying about this Krusty...but I can't stand those silly voices on Simpsons.  That one on the Moonpig ad irritates me as well...and the reporter's voice on the South East television, the chap with the thick neck and sticky out ears. Can I just mention also that I don't watch Big Brother either, firstly because it's c**p but mainly because of the monotone drone of the voice in the background. There...I hope you are happy now that anybody who reads this will think I'm a little weird. [:$] Are we still friends though[:-))] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JgZ4s7ThoG8

Honest, it simply hadn't ocurred to me. Rest assured, I will steer clear of the gardening section again though.[:D] Here, borrow a couple of mine [:D][:D] A tip I picked up a couple of days ago on here is to go up to tools and tick [compatibility view]

[quote user="Chancer"][quote user="Weedon"] I really cannot understand your attitude to this couple Chancer, you appear to be saying that once British born people leave the British Isles they lose all protection.  Using the same formula a Somali terrorist could expect more protection if he left Somalia to live in the uk. Your patriotic values are not the ones I was brought up with. [/quote] When I leave British soil even for France as far as I am concerned yes I lose all protection, I may perhaps in an emergency be able to call on the British Embassy of the country that I am in for assistance, the one time I have needed to do this I found that there was no longer one! [/quote] Chancer, there is not much point in knocking the ball backwards and forwards is there? I can see that, apart from having a small amount of sympathy for the couple, you have little regard for the position they find themselves in. Perhaps they were a little lacking in foresight but GB as a nation grew in no small part to people who, although lacking in a little forward planning, simply made up for it with spirit and just going for it. I don't wish to go back specifically to earlier postings of yours but you did say something like "If I found myself in a similar position I wouldn't expect any help from my government" I imagine therefore that the one time you sought help from the Embassy was simply as you say because it was a real emergency. From what has been written and from newsreels I reckon the yacht couple can consider themselves to be in an emergency situation, or have I read more into it than is really there? I can remember a time when once we had real regard for our fellowman, this has declined in recent years almost to the point when we couldn't give much of a toss to what happens even to next door neighbours.

Real men can "re-activate" the compost heap from a distance of a couple of metres even in the recent below zero temperatures.  I have to clamber to the top of a pair of steps and even then only when it is above freezing point. In my defence though I can do that whilst waving to my neighbour........with my free hand.[B]

[quote user="nounours"] As for using the SAS,  a big difference is that London is in the UK and Somalia isn't, so no unfriendly natives to worry about in Knightsbridge. REmember, the US went in on land once and lost a number of men, so sense says keep out and negotiate. [/quote] I didn't actually say send in the SAS, you assumed that is what I meant.  I merely used the examples to demonstrate how once upon a time the UK was renowned for taking decisive action but now appears to be hesitant and a little toothless. A good example of that was at the time the yacht couple were first abducted by Somali's. I accept that I wasn't there so therefore have to rely on what is reported, but I imagine the majority of people take the same view as me, and some others on this forum. I can only think the Somali's took the same view when they were allowed to sail away with their hostages. But now you mention about taking action on British soil and Knightsbridge etc. If you care to do any research there are plenty of examples where UK special forces have been in action all over the world during a time when the rest of the world looked to Britain as a country who looked after and cared about their citizens, wherever they were.

I really cannot understand your attitude to this couple Chancer, you appear to be saying that once British born people leave the British Isles they lose all protection.  Using the same formula a Somali terrorist could expect more protection if he left Somalia to live in the uk. Your patriotic values are not the ones I was brought up with.

Here  is a little something someone sent me that is indisputable mathematical logic.  It also made me Laugh Out Loud. This is a strictly  mathematical viewpoint....it goes like this: What  Makes 100%? What does it mean to give MORE than 100%? Ever wonder about those  people who say they are giving more than 100%?  We have all been to those  meetings where someone wants    you to  give over 100%. How about achieving 103%? What makes up 100% in  life? Here's a little mathematical formula that might  help you answer these  questions: If: A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z is represented  as: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26. Then: H-A -R -D-W-O -R -K 8+1+18+4+23+15+18+11 = 98% and K  -N -O -W-L  -E-D-G-E 11+14+15+23+12+5+4+7+5 =  96% But , A-T   -T -I -T  -U -D-E 1+20+20+9+20+21+4+5  = 100% And, B -U -L -L -S -H-I -T 2+21+12+12 +19+8+9+20 = 103% AND, look how far ass kissing will take  you. A-S -S -K -I -S-S -I -N-G 1+19+19+11+9+19+19+9+14+7=  118% So,  one can conclude with mathematical certainty, that While Hard work andKnowledge will get you close,  and Attitude will get you there,  its the Bullshit and Ass kissing that will put you over the top.

Once upon a time the SAS set the standard in taking prompt and decisive action against terrorists who attacked British citizens and/or property.  I remember watching the SAS freeing the hostages from the Iranian Embassy at Princes Gate when it was shown, as it was happening, on television, then later on at the Spaghetti House siege (I think it was called). What I don't now understand is why the UK appears to have become soft and indecisive in dealing with these people.

More green fields by the first girls aloud, one of them was/is Mrs Billy Wright....who?  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Tq_IDskT2g&feature=related

Simpsons? I started a post on accents a little while back, I should have added silly voices as well. I'm gradually whittling down the people I find I can put up with in my old age. Can't go to New York, I can only just manage to go to the foot of our stairs but I could go to the foot of the mountain. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HbG69SAZUKw  

I'll try that. Thanks.

For a little while I have had a problem particularly when trying to access Google. In the past it has been my habit that when turning on my pooter, switch it on, walk away for 10 minutes to give it chance to start Windows then to click on the second phase to finish off the start-up. On one occasion I noticed that it said that Windows had failed to start, giving me a few options to choose from.  This may have been like it for some time but I had not noticed it before. When it gave me options to start it I left it on the one it had chosen, which was (I think) start normally, it then counted down for 20 secs before loading properly.  So like I say this may have been happening for a while without me realising it. The Google problem. Other than Google all other programmes appear to be operating correctly except that it is my impression the PC is running slower than it used to do.  However if I want to use Google I get as far as typing 3 or 4 letters of what I am searching for before the screen goes black as if it has switched itself off and it starts itself again just as if I had turned on the machine first thing in the morning. Last week I took it to a shop to be fixed who said they had found a couple of Trojans??? but it was now okay. Well, it's not okay.     Any ideas,  before I take it back to the shop which is an hour away.

Help me with this one.  Do the Tesco naked shoppers go into the changing cubicles to try on the clothes?

I didn't want to be the one to ask Krusty but how did you get that name? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rH0hcyS_a2Q

Having read the list so kindly posted by RDL  it looks as if I am safe from most of those.  A little disturbing though is that, although it's not on the list, I am guilty of misreading stuff posted on forums and have just emptied cornflakes all over my kitchen table to try to disprove the 40 year old study that no two corn flakes are identical. I am also fond of grilled blue cheese on sliced banana but don't tell the Daily Mail. NB. By the way I wasn't able to match any two of the cornflakes.

I know somebody who could ride it. http://www.motogp.com/en/videos/2010/FREE+VIDEO+Kenny+Roberts+TZ750+comeback

I can put your mind at rest on one point.  John Terry is not confused and knows exactly what he is doing.  He is reputed to earn £170,000 a week...YES...a week, and still wants to charge fans £10,000 a time for escorting them around the clubs training pitch...without the clubs knowledge. His best mate Wayne Bridges is probably confused in that he thought he was his best mate only to find out differently.  But then John Terry was always a nasty piece of work and I don't see why receiving all that money for kicking a ball around should change that. Being captain of the national team only means being able to tell the difference between heads and tails and having a big mouth. No...I'm not really all that fond of soccer nowadays (perhaps you could guess), but I blame the Hungarians.  The day they whipped England 6-3 was the start of the slippery slope.  

Had my pewter fixed, apparently it was a loose valve...or the tube, I forget what he said now. Anyway it's alright now. Did I miss anything?
