About f*****g time.

I've been there, and seen those sheep race, and it's actually funnier than you would think. A jolly good day out for a family with youngish children if you're in the area.

Harsh. But funny.

Artist Josef Mikl died last week - I swear I have done a search and the only thing that came up was Steve Irwin - so sorry if this has already been posted.

10 for me 14 for me - told you I was a fat git. 18 for me, I'm not fat, I'm just big boned. Perfect.

Damn. He was such a lovely man and a great actor. I was genuinely upset when I heard the news.

10 for me 14 for me - told you I was a fat git.

With apologies for the dullness of this post - but I don't care because I have a raging hangover - Banshees, you truly are a cock.

He's suing NBC

Thanks for posting that here, I would never have come across this amusing thread if you hadn't, which I did when searching to see if Stallard had already been reported. I know it's quite an old thread, and I can't really be arsed to google to see if this Marsden fellow is still an MP, but isn't it a reflection of the times when even MPs can't get the use of basic punctuation correct. Rogue apostrophes, no capitals, bloody shocking. What is this country coming to?

He sounds like a right luvvie... The old rascal has his own thread too. Oh bugger, apologies - perhaps a mod could move my post - thanks. Posts moved - LG

Tarzan's mate Cheeta writes his memoirs.

And it seems that the poor man didn't get a decent obit on the BBC, owing to a fit of giggles on Radio 4 this morning... Here's a BBC link

Who he WAS, sadly. One stop shop online for all things Joey. Of course, was, that's what I meant, I knew he was sadly no longer with us. And I have seen that site, very informative. We have pointed Chloe/Joey in the direction of the internet to find out who he is for herself, but she's only 10, so hasn't done so as yet as she is always on Bebo or MSN - I fear that when she does finally google Joey, she may not be terribly impressed. Ah well. Edit - f**k me, 127 quid - I'd chew my own ear off for half that.

Off topic I know, but I do love your picture, because my young niece is called Chloe, and we call her Joey Deacon, and she has no idea why, or who he is.

In the interests of fairness, somebody should at least tell those of us that didn't see it what Godot's post said.

As mentioned here yesterday.

Dame Maggie Smith fighting breast cancer.

Well if it was murder I hope they soon finger the culprit.

Appeal denied - so we get to hear all the gory details. What joy. They both deserve each other - he's a rich old fool with a mouth like a cat's bum, and she's a rich young fool with one leg. Now let's hope they both disappear up their own arseholes never to be heard of again.

It still means McCartney has to foot the bill. I wonder how much he would have got had the shoe been on the other foot.

I HAVE gone through what you're going through not once, not twice, but THREE times. And before you dismiss that statement with a "yes, but..", I am damn well educated, a damn good worker & each time I found myself in these situations it was through no fault of my own. So, I feel qualified to say stop acting like a snivelling, pathetic little sh*t. No-one on this earth is going to automatically give a job to someone who thinks they are above everybody else & has the potential to do well, but prefers to blame everyone else & rather than fight, just give up and curl up & die - because that's the impression I'm getting of you. If I were an employer in the US, and I had a choice between an educated, qualified white boy who had no fight, backbone & a chip on his shoulder, and a young, enthusiastic Hispanic, with limited qualifications but bags of energy, hope & enthusiasm, I'd know who I'd choose, and it wouldn't be you. Is the above harsh? Perhaps. But fair? Undoubtedly. I could have done what you did - whinge, cry, blame everyone & hope everyone else suffers as a result. But I didn't. I don't often blow my own trumpet on here, but I rolled my sleeves up, got on with it & now I have a day job I love, albeit relatively low paid compared to some, but still a job I love, plus, when chance allows, I can supplement my normal wage with a sideline in motor racing journalism - another dream job that has given me so much AND I also find the time to run two huge websites, play badminton at a decent level, have a girlfriend & other normal mularkey. I did all that by using what I had to me & making the most of it - you will have to do that as well. The above may seem to you I am against you - but I am not. If anything, I want you to succeed just as I did in the same situation. But if you are going to do that, you HAVE to get out of this snivelling little creep stage & work as hard as you have ever done and believe me, recession or no recession, you CAN do it. Besides, you could be a lot worse off. At least you're still alive, and, I presume, healthy. That should never be taken for granted, never. Sorry to everyone else for the above, but I hope it helps wake him out of his baby-like tantrum. PS Well said Banshees. Ooh, I might need a lie down after saying that.... Hear hear. Words of wisdom and sense. Some of the ladies here know that I have recently been going through a bit of a tough time - yes, I had a moan on the DLXX forum, which helped, and then I (mostly) shut up and got on with things. In my albeit limited life experience that's the way to do it, instead of wallowing in self pity get up, dust yourself off and move on. Nobody owes you a living.

Everyone is related to everyone if you go back about 2000 generations Or if you visit New Pitsligo. Or Devizes.

Happy Birthday everyone who is celebrating today :-)

Happy belated Birthday Octopus :-)
