How about "don't shoot anyone"? Also keep an eye out for who is behind you with a gun. Charlton Heston is a bugger in that respect. And if you have to walk anywhere with the gun, make sure it is open and not loaded. I heard somewhere you don't aim a shotgun, you point it, but I'm sure there'll be someone there who can guide you better than we can.

No Are you saying that substantial chunk of humanity aren't morons? Or even mormons? Harvester your argument doesn't stand up to scrutiny on a very simple point of prejudice: In the most moronic, and indeed Mormonic country in the world, association football is not very popular. The reason for this is simply that it isn't moronic enough to cater for the minimal attention-span of many of that country's inhabitants.

No, not deaf, dead. Are you deaf?

Nope, they are all gone. Milligan, Sellers, Secombe, Bentine, Geldray, Ellington, Greenslade, the lot. The only survivor is Wally Stott the bandleader who is now a woman and calls herself Angela Morley. A leading session musician of the day told me the story of the first day Angela turned up after the op to conduct the band as a woman. As she raised the baton to start conducting, one of the musicians interrupted: "Excuse me, Angela." "Yes?" "I suppose a shag's out of the question?" You had to be there, I suppose. Oh, and George Chisholm may or may not still be alive. I don't know.

Unless you are thinking of hats, yes.

That was me just trying to be provocative. Sorry! Anyone remember Deely-Boppers?

Actually millwall, that was me. I did it when I was signing in as a guest during the 'sulking period'. oh well since it was you I will apologise for swearing at you. We shouldn't really be swearing at guests either actually. It does tend to provoke them.

Apparently you don't get white dog s**t any more because dogs don't eat bones any more. And I always thought it was bleached that colour by the sun. But I now know the truth because a friend came up with the information recently, without even being asked as it happens. Mind you you don't get that much sun anyway where I grew up in Aberdeen for most of the year. Scoobies smell awful, don't they? I'm told the stuff they treat them with to make the plastic soft is pretty toxic.

Had he cooked the other one? I think he has four kidneys in his body at the moment. His own two which hardly work at all, one which he got from his brother if I remember rightly, and another which he had put in a couple of months ago which came from his girlfriend. Perhaps someone could ask her if she expects to get it back soon?

And while we're at it Wally Stott / Angela Morley best known as bandleader on the Goon Show must be past his/her best.

BBC article.

Yup, It is on the BBC's news ticker. (No pun intended )

How refreshing to see that in an age of war and hatred that there are engineers out there labouring to find constructive, peaceful uses for technology. I believe some hotel minibars in Japan have a similar device installed which alerts the authorities when the contents are gone.

Riveting link, Miss Janeo. Anyone up for a word association thread? all the best fora have one, I'm told.

Shame. I liked it the way it was.

I would like to make it quite clear that this person is not me. And this isn't me! ............mashpotato And this isn't me! Interesting outlook on life, though:

Kidney.

If it is only his kidney that is the problem, It's very unlikely to kill him. As we can see from the case of Niki Lauda.

I don't believe you. It was Banshees told you, admit it!

We get free soft drinks served directly at our seats. And the interface is all mahogany and cherrywood, with marquetry and chrome intead of that tacky blue plasticky one you all have to put up with.

Now there's a can of worms; who's going to open it, then? Allow me...

Aha! Crabbie's Green Ginger Wine! Pub I used to go to in Aberdeen sold it for the price of a shot of lemonade (15p if I remember rightly, this was about 18 years ago) for a while, so you could get a pint of it for about a quid. Palled after a while though, and the hangover was less than pleasant, too. Nice to see Amanda back again. I hope you'll stick around for a while. Perhaps we can get the Doherty thread re-opened for you soon. and then there's the business of your avatar......

Apart from Margaret Thatcher.

At the risk of getting nailed to a tree, we could all try to get along and be nice to each other. I mean Banshees is a bit eccentric and he has unusual spelling but on the whole I find him entertaining and quite personable. Mayhap he's done something terrible to Inar in the past, like setting fire to his bed or something, but I wouldn't know anything about that. So why don't we all just put away our petty differences and concentrate on finding witty and intelligent ways of putting down ranters in a collective spirit of harmonious unity?

Now Mary, take that back this minute! I won't have anything bad said about the lovely Carol. It's a bit like with Josco and Marmite.
