  1. With everybody wearing the same colour you might be excused for thinking the teams have been interchanged, as the Aussies are in the same position as England were the last time around out there. I am almost...only almost...feeling sorry for Ricky Ponting. They (Australia) are dropping catches they never did before, only one batsman in an innings seems to be able to score runs and the bowlers cannot seem to hit a decent length, unlike McGrath who seemed able to do it with every ball. I am just enjoying it while it lasts. Let's hope that it does at least for the next 3 tests. Pity though the England team don't have some inspiring nicknames like Typhoon (Tyson) and Fiery Fred (Trueman) which might generate some interest in the game from schoolboys.
  2. Go on you know you want to. http://d21c.com/terri1/caroline.swf [:)]  
  3. As a schoolboy I used to live near Jack Warner and sometimes saw him in his garden as I cycled home, at the time though I didn't have the 'derring do' to call out "Evening all!" Know what I mean JJ?[:P] Another Christmas song by a chap who used to be a college high jumper. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1zRopng_8p8&feature=related

  5. Nice one Krusty, I read that she has been the victim of skullduggery! I do like a good Christmas song. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8-0WVfj76bo
  6. The programme that followed that one was very interesting as well. It was either 'Operation Mincedmeat' or 'Mincemeat', can't remember exactly which now and I know JJ gets irritated by sloppiness.[:D] I remember Clarkson telling a story about a WW2 hero, who turned out to be his father-in-law or his FIL to be at the time, and the fact that the gentleman had never ever mentioned it. Isn't it always striking that those who show true bravery never see themselves as doing anything extraordinary. I am like you Pierre, I like to think that in similar circumstances I could be as brave but thankfully I shall never find out if that is so, as I fear I might fail the test.
  7. [quote user="Chancer"] If you were looking for a second hand car at local dealers and had found what appeared to casual inspection 4 pretty much identical examples of the vehicle you wanted, offered at the same price from 4 different car dealers, David Cameron, Nick Clegg, Gordon Brown and Tony Hayward, which one would you trust to  buy from and why? If one of these appeal to you which politician ore even celeb if that floats your boat would you buy a second hand car from? [/quote] Not sure which one I might choose as a second-hand salesman, but if the scenario was the same and they were selling privately I would definitely not buy from Tony Hayward as it would have a lot of salt water corrosion in it. I think I might buy from Cameron as he has the look of a compulsive cleaner about him. On second thoughts, going back to them being second-hand salesmen. Clegg and Cameron might do a deal on the VAT element of the price, I don't think Brown would, plus he would bore me to death with his sales patter.
  8. I heard this today, first time for ages. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AYWQROMxK7E&feature=related Where are you Frenchie and Krusty? It's a bit empty here in the broom cupboard!
  9. Quite agree Cathy. That WC one, the one with the doors on. Would you lock the door whilst you were in there?
  10. Still...even coming from one of the "Mudway" towns you have to close your eyes and shake your head....Y'know wot I mean? Click on the audio
  11. As I have (in the main) only ever been self-employed it has hardly ever crossed my mind to what extent large corporations spend on image or presentation. So having read the article, where it said that Clegg had only spent 1/10th of what Cameron forked out, it struck me that maybe he (Cameron) didn't get value for money, seeing as it is generally accepted that Clegg came out of the TV debates rather better than the other two. Although I did hear from somewhere that it was suggested to Clegg that he should use tinted moisturiser to cover his pasty complexion.
  12. Some you may have seen before but are worth seeing again, the music is good as well. Click here.
  13. It turns out that Cameron spent £66,000 on preparing himself for the TV debates. See here. It's probably just me but every time I see him on the telly I see him as a Babybel cheese with the red skin peeled off.
  14. I'm pretty sure that Cameron, Pr William and Beckham were never going to be a match for Putin anyway. It was rather like the posh kids parents falling on hard times and having to send their public school kids to the inner city comprehensive. They were going to be (metaphorically speaking) given a wedgie followed by being hooked up on the coat pegs as soon as the voting started., and no amount of grovelling was going to stop that.
  15. [quote user="just john "] Sounds a bit of an ice maiden to me, nothing better than a snowball, this weather, perhaps you could give her one to loosen her up and get her out on the piste . . . EDIT [quote user="Weedon"]  Last night the chair-women took me to one side  [/quote] You hadn't already had a few snowballs and seeing double were you? [:D] [/quote] Doh!! And I was going to write chair-person, then just chair, then I decided on....etc.
  16. Mole went off looking for worms but all he found was a Beatle. Here he is.... John Lemon [:-))]   [IMG]http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a372/weedonwite/JohnLemon.jpg[/IMG]
  17. Phew! For a while I thought you might say there's only one way to sort this out....FIGHT!![:)]
  18. Another "squeaky" wiki leak, reported in the Mirror Apologies to JJ for a little hi-jack.
  19. I am a committee member in an ex-pat organisation here in France. Last night the chair-women took me to one side saying that other members have complained that I often behave in a juvenile manner and frequently make childish comments and that at my age (I am 68) I should act in a more mature manner. Furthermore she said we have to discuss this with the other members.   I told her that I was quite willing to discuss this but not until after the winter sledging and snowball fight season has passed.
  20. Have you ever experienced something like this whilst having a coffee in Super U? http://www.youtube.com/user/AlphabetPhotography
  21. Tonight (Sunday) the Chandlers (Somali boat couple) are on ITV at 10:45pm UK time.
  22. This has happened to me fairly requently just lately. I found that by going to [Services] on the remote then pressing [4  System Setup] then pressing [8 System Health Check] the bottom window fills up to 15 and all is well. Press [Sky] and everything is working again.
  23. [quote user="Un autre Gallois"]Hi - I think that you can cancel your insurance if the increase is above inflation by giving notice (recommandé etc) within 20 days from the date of their demand. As other posts have confirmed, this can be done by the new insurer. If the increase is only within inflation, then I don't think notice can legitimately be given outside the two months before law. UaG[/quote] When I recently received notice of my new house insurance from the bank, I obtained an alternative quote from the agent who deals with all my other insurances who told me I had 20 days from the renewal notice to change company's. He said that the 2 month rule had altered sometime ago and no longer applied.. He arranged my new insurance and wrote to the bank cancelling their insurance. At the same time I asked about the renewal of my car insurance (which coincides with the house ins.) and received a 15% reduction on that premium as well. I saved 135 euros that day.
  24. Subject: The Prostate Exam... A man goes to his doctor for his physical and gets sent to the Urologist as a precaution. When he gets there, he discovers the urologist is a very pretty female doctor. The female doctor says, 'I'm going to check your prostate today, but this new procedure is a little different from what you are probably used to. I want you to lie on your right side, bend your knees, then while I check your prostate, take a deep breath and say, '99'. The guy obeys and says, '99'! The doctor says, 'Great. Now turn over on your left side and again, while I repeat the check, please take a deep breath and say, '99.' Again, the guy says, '99.' The doctor said, 'Very good.. Now then, I want you to lie on your back with your knees raised slightly. I'm going to check your prostate with this hand, and with the other hand I'm going to hold on to your penis and your testicles, to keep them out of the way. Now take a deep breath and say, '99.' The guy begins, 'One ...........Two............Three'.
  25. It is my understanding that if you are resident in France, pay your tax here and it is your primary (or only) house, then no CGT is liable on the sale. See here Or have I misunderstood the article?
