I am sorry, I was labouring under the notion that the 'brick' thread was about BRICKS (Building Resources for Integrated Cultural Knowledge Services) which is an open-source software framework for the management of distributed digital assets. ... OR brick - a good fellow; helpful and trustworthy OR BRICK - In economics, BRIC or BRICs is an acronym that refers to the fast growing developing economies of Brazil, Russia, India, and China. The acronym was first coined and prominently used by Goldman Sachs in 2001. .. OR The Brick (Agrochola circellaris) is a moth of the family Noctuidae. It is distributed throughout most of Europe. NOT brick - rectangular block of clay baked by the sun or in a kiln; used as a building or paving material.

What a punch, you can see he was not expecting that! However, who is he? What's the story?

I should imagine that most of the youth of today don't know who he is. And I didn't think he was that good anyway, a tad overrated.

Oh quelle journee du bas de la terre. Je suis tres fatigue demain Vera. How the hell did you get those cameras in our 'ouse? And at teatime too? Is nowt sacred?

Wow. Just read through this entertaining topic. Great fun. Keep it up.

I too have hankered after an iPhone and I was gutted to discover there is no reception from O2 anywhere in my house or garden. On the plus side I found this out when I was issued with a mobile phone for my job, means my 'clients', for want of a better word, and especially a couple of my colleagues, can't contact me when I am at home . Now thats what I want, 'cos my mobile phone works perfectly at home (where naturally I have a land-line and thus no real need for a mobile phone) but only works at work when it's a prime number of minutes past the hour and I'm standing on one leg whilst doing an impersonation of David Coleman's Spitting Image puppet. This shouldn't be a problem as I also have a land-line but for some reason the rest of the staff prefer to send me text messages which invariably I don't receive till I get home - by which time whatever they were texting me about is completely irrelevant! These may help. I am considering one, but at £335 I may have trouble getting finance (Mrs Josco) to sign it off.

All depends how far you are from the local exchange. Generally broadband ( and it is a general rule) doesnt work too brilliantly if you are over 5Km from the exchange. Over 7km and you are unlikely to have service and what you might get will be only slightly better than dial up. I should know, I do special fault investigations on them My dwelling is between two large conurbations and yet my "broad"band is no quicker than my old 56k modem, we have very poor reception on all mobile providers except O2 for which there is none, and we have no gas either..... Mrs Josco has Vodafone which works OK if you keep still, but I was so desperate for an iPhone even though I knew it would not work so am on O2. A triumph of style over function.

I've one for Nelson.... [humour]If I'm right that's one in the eye for you.[/humour]

Marvellous succinct comment. I've never won any competitions, I doubt this will be any different.

Breaking news on the Beeb. Keith Floyd has had his chips (with a white wine sauce)

Quantify "rip roaring pissed". Is it similar to: 1. Tipsy 2. Merry 3. Pissed / sloshed 4. Tanked up 5. Drunk as a skunk 6. Legless 7. Wrecked / hammered 8. Out for the count 9. Intoxicated 10. Hog whimperingly arseholed Well done with the fags, keep it up.

Or you could open the bonnet of a car and ask him/her to point out the various working parts. And for this you'd have to assume a man would be capable of identifying his crankshaft from his fuel injector, where exactly to apply lubricant or what roll his big end plays in the suck, squeeze, bang, blow processes of a 4 stroke engine? I was thinking about a Wankel engine, but.........

Now what are the chances of him dying after a nasty bite from one? That would be news.

May be this? Personally I can't bear Frogs or Toads. (How do you tell the difference? Who cares?) During wet weather some gather near our back door and on occasion I have trapped them in the door, squashed..... ugh!

Which is more or less saying "we'll do as we please, so bugger you you ignorant bunch of leftie scum" I had the same unfortunate mail too, which just goes to prove all petitions are cock. We can therefore feel justified in walking past the poor naive clipboarders hanging around our local pedestrianized thoroughfares as indeed our signatures are not worth the paper they are written on. Although the petitions are spin and propaganda, NAP's succinct comment "so bugger you you ignorant bunch of leftie scum" is valid, but probably not from Gordon's government.

Bring on The Stig, I reckon. They asked me, but I was too busy.... (oops! Disregard that)

Taking what is probably a unilateral stance, I for one, am disappointed. I think Shuey's reappearance would have been interesting at the very least. The current crop of drivers do not have any where near his depth of talent and 'drive' and I am sure the "Rain Meister" would have lapped them all.

If there is to be another please keep me informed... I will try harder this time to attend.

Maybe they were thinking of Duncan? http://www.independent.co.ug/index.php/spo...-for-the-summit

Give me a thousand dollars a week and I'll move in an make all the noise you want. I won't chirp but I can burp on command. Well I will do it for 250 Euros per week, a Cuttlefish and a daily fresh copy of The Independent lining the bottom of my cage. 249 Euros, but it must be the Daily Telegraph. Not too good at burping on demand, but can fart a little instead.

No. A ) They have far too much money. (Although too much is never enough) B ) They still have a lot of influence. (Although nowhere near as much as they would like to believe) C ) Fame of any kind is an addictive drug. (Although it is a drug I've never tried)

Isn't everyone?

Enough said! Although I would have said ASDA! Or WalMart, although it is the same thing. Shop of the Devil. Morrison's (if you're poor)

He's caused a few problems since..... I wonder how many people have invoked his father's name whilst either murdering someone or being murdered. Could it be more or less than those that call out for some other chap by the name of Allah Apparently Allah is the same guy. He's a master of disguise. Nobody knows what he really looks like. Sort of like Keyser Söze. Not just schizophrenic then? Or they could be twins?
