Josco

Have not really got in to many games since Elite on the BBC Micro, what a brilliant waste of time.... The junior Joscos play lots, ALL the time, but I have recently been smitten with Isle Of Tunes on the iPad.

I don't think it's the class divisions that needs reviving, it's having a good time whichever class you're in. People are generally far too miserable these days, alcohol has become the new demon (they've got rid of smoking almost); beer in my local has gone up to 3 guineas a pint. Holy shit! It was 2/6 (about 12p) when I first started going to a pub.....

An elderly golfer comes in after a good round of golf at the new course and heads straight to the bar/restaurant area of the club house. As he passes through the swinging doors, he spots a sign hanging over the bar that reads: COLD BEER: $5.00 HAMBURGER: $10.00 CHEESEBURGER: $15.50 CHICKEN SANDWICH : $18.50 HAND JOB: $250.00 Checking his wallet to be sure he has the necessary money, the old golfer walks up to the bar and beckons to the exceptionally attractive female bartender who is serving drinks to a couple of sun-wrinkled golfers. She glides down behind the bar to the old golfer. “Yes?” she inquires with a wide, knowing smile. “May I help you Sir?” The old golfer leans over the bar and whispers, “I was wondering young lady, are you the one who gives the hand-jobs around here?” She looks into his wrinkled eyes and with a wide smile purrs, “Yes Sir, I sure am.” The old golfer leans in even closer and into her left ear says softly, “Well then, be sure to wash your hands real good, because I want a cheeseburger.”

Work. And not just for Lent either.

Not sure what Murdoch's angle is on Scottish independence, but what ever it is will certainly be to his financial advantage.

Well I had a shufti at the FaceBook page, and I probably don't know what I'm talking about but..... How do you know that's him? It's the same as on Twitter, who knows who is who? Incidentally I am following @Queen_Uk and it must be her majesty; who would have thought she had such a good grasp of technology?

I also got 9/10. Failed on the last, an interesting choice. What a great website too. I can see hours of work time being idled away there.

How on earth might that happen, is it a hermaphrodite? Or could it split like an amoeba?

Ah, now that we have the expert on the line, I have a question: such a hamster is very nice, but do they grow if you feed them? You know how it is: they're cute when they're small. regards, Hein Well of course they'll grow, and when they do you'll need to buy a larger monitor, that's all. Josco is probably already shopping for a 25 " screen due to irresponsibly stuffing his hamster with food. So if I stop feeding him he'll fit on to my iPhone?

Posted here yesterday http://www.deathlist...ndpost&p=167074 Tell me - do I have a shit sense of humour, or is Russell Brand just a shit comedian? I don't find him funny in the slightest. Shit comedian. Shit person. Agreed! That's not a nice way to talk about Windsor! Don't know about Windsor, but Russell Brand is just not funny. Not particularly good looking either. And he ruined the film Arthur.

I have tried feeding him (her? how can one tell?) constantly for a few minutes. What a greedy pig!

oh ffs. Either word is acceptable Mr Pedantic. "Movies" does sound rather an ancient term, as though it might have described what came before "talkies". Anyway, I'm off to take the dog for his walkies. It's not pedantry, rather a protest against the way our language is becoming permeated by so many Americanisms. I have relatives who say that something they like is "to die for." That's vomit-inducing. It's like calling biscuits, cookies and sweets, candies. That's fine in America, but citizens of the UK who do that should be dragged in to the street and executed in front of their families. What? Hang on a minute, you're not really called Jeremy are you?

Also like the "Preview This Topic" (next to the HOT tag, what is the Hot tag anyway?)

A little late to the party, but I like the new layout, well done.

Try:

Well said. I know that I have indicated possible attendance in the past, this time I will make the effort.

Now that you mention it..... I have two sons, correct; one at university and one at secondary school. There are 7 years between them but I would hesitate to describe either as 'grown' (although they regularly make me groan). Mrs Josco opines that she has three children, can't think why.

I am at a loss to understand what all the fuss is about. Vaguely attractive strumpet gets away with murder and the papers and news programmes are leading with this non-story for several days. Meanwhile Greece has a general strike, Italy gets downgraded (to A2, getting to be almost junk), European banks are set to be bailed out again..... Jesus H Christ! We're off to hell in a handcart.

Brugge now? What happened to The Netherlands, do you people have no sense of geography. It's over 70 miles apart.....

Unless they are in a race....

MPFC Perhaps I should have qualified my comment - Apart from your cheery little greeting (and thanks for that) I get no messages of any note or consequence. What I mean to say is that no members ever come bleating to me, which is a good thing and perhaps I have just ........ Oh bugger!

He messaged me to tell me he'd been banned, he's never contacted me before. Assuming he messaged others too? Not me, but then as I have remarked elsewhere, I get no messages anyway. I do however receive a staggering amount of Email....

Tragic news.... Tetley's Brewery in Leeds has closed. I should have reported this earlier but the mourning period has been somewhat protracted. As a Yorkshire lad I've been brought up on Tetley's Bitter and remained faithful until the beancounters decided to move production out of Yorkshire and close the Leeds Brewery (to be sold for development). The chemists at the new brewery in Northampton claim they can reproduce the distinctive taste that Leeds artesian well water gives through the addition of additives, but I shall not be sampling their efforts. I have spent the last few months diligently acquiring a taste for Theakstons, not too onerous a task, and can now say that I have successfully converted. As a backup measure I can also manage Black Sheep, but only in cases of emergency!

Haven't looked through the whole thread as I couldn't be bothered, so if it's free I'll take August 18th 2012.

About that grid: is it intended to keep people out, or in? regards, Hein Keep us in definitely, I can't think why any one would want to break in here. The radio is banned, the floor is wooden and the kitchen is next door so everyone makes a cacophony of footsteps when going to make coffee. Security is a new all consuming passion - no one is to be trusted with anything and large bollockings follow any one who leaves their PC unlocked even for a moment. There is no fun here any more since the Americans bought the company. I may work in IT but I am so effing bored. Sadly too old and under qualified to get another job with similar money so... Grin & Bear it
