Monoclinic

No, I associate it with the Roger Hargreaves character. He's purple, if that affects your little wager at all. That's exactly who I thought of! I am guessing this association could also be put into a UK context in terms of class with those uppity ponces who went to Eton / Harrow (insert school of choice here) and us normal folk. What, I can't say ponce? Nor normal either? Dagnam this political correctness. Next you'll be telling me that Homebase choose to display a fine selection of 4x2 in the 'spade' section.

What about 'ull? Edit - As I've yet to annex 'ull, I guess it's a tongue in cheek unfunny response to the football teams. On an aside regards the borders and states question. I had a guided tour of St Peters and the Vatican a few years ago in which I was informed that The Knights of Malta (can't remember official name) were technically some kind of state (with their own number plate, singular) and their country amounted to an appartment in Rome. I took this with a pinch of salt as I am sure most guides fabricate and elaborate on stories to make tours remotely interesting, however wasn't there some quasicomedian recently who tried to form his own break away state? How did he get on?

Right, that's it. My client has instructed me to press for maximum damages for the pain and distress your thoughtless libel has caused, Ms Monoclinic. My client says he 'wouldn't touch a hound like J*** G****** with a bargepole attached to a pair of stilts'. Ahem, it's Dr Monoclinic, sir, however I shall let that one slide. I don't know what I could possibly have been thinking of, it was clearly John Goodman (with the bargepole in Islington), a close friend of Jonnyboy Woss, I'm sure.

Googling BNL leads me to Ed Robertson from Bare Naked Ladies. The other I'd guess at Jade Go(oo)ody. i.e I d**'* fecking k*** e****r

It's always me, me, me...

I wish someone would see off Jonathan Ross and that other waste of the licence fee, Russell Grant. Prats. Fame-hungry young bird sleeps with the world's biggest shagger, and then cries because he blabbed about it? If she was that bothered about what Grandpa would think she shouldn't have dropped 'em in the first place. She slept with him simply for the fame. I've got no sympathy for her, in fact I think it's f*****g hilarious. All these twatty Daily Mail readers up in arms - they should try getting worked up about something important. And has Andrew Sachs ever actually been in anything else apart from Fawlty Towers? Voice over on just about every other documentary on the box... The rest being undertaken by a Mr Jack in it for the money Davenport

Take me to your dealer. Please.

So which level will you all be reaching? Edit - This link loads quicker and is clearer.

One step closer in the legal proceedings. Spurs are giving them 5 million, can we cut them adrift now? They could be an inhospitable island if no other country will take them.

Edit- Entry 19 JUN 2008, the life of a squid pirate. Unfortunately three months shy of international talk like a pirate day. I'm guessing embedding is not allowed around these parts? Not the I have the foggiest idea how to embed, I tried following instructions, which is never a good idea and leads to my unmodified post... <embed src="http://blip.tv/play/Ab2RG42HFQ" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="720" height="510" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed>

Sorry to be predictable If I can be of help to your calculations... I went through Lux on a coach in 1992, I went at least 3 times in 2006*, drove through it to and from the Alsace and changed trains in Lux City on the way to Triers, I didn't go in 2007 and in 2008 I drove through Lux on my way down here. . *once with two passengers.

Their government putting minimal taxes on alcohol, cigarettes and petrol making it all dirt cheap and giving them a very healthy GDP. I saw The Grand Duke etc. and The King of the Belgians when they visited where I was working (175th anniversary). We were not part of the (very few) flag waving public, it was purely by coincidence as we made our way towards the hall serving free booze. edit - almost forgot Radio Luxembourg!

They should just run him through a wood chipper. Would anyone object? I believe Star Crossed was researching into Austrian wood products recently. Hopefully he'd care to return to outline the practicalities of the proposal.

I think it is no coincidence that British Alternative Rock has declined since he died... Well it took 3 people to replace him on his show. Without him, there are so many bands that wouldn't have got airplay I remember seeing a magazine in my dentist's waiting room that had an interview with a local DJ. He stated that it was because of John Peel that he wanted to get into the radio business. I wish I could remember the DJs name as I was surprised that being 4000 miles away from home that someone would pay homage to him He did used to live and work over your side of the pond. I was just wikiing this out to make sure I wasn't making it up and found that his page has been translated into seventeen (17) languages. Shove awards, that's prestige!

for the Belgophiles... are you there Godot?

The woman sent a telegram to her own mother on her 100th birthday. 82 to the likes of people with genes like that is nowt. People tend to forget that her father kicked the bucket when he was 56... I was going to mention it on the pretence that we assume the genes can be averaged and conclude that she's past it. However the disturbing thought of Charlie boy on the throne makes me hope she'll be as stong as an ox for at least another 20 years. Or we have a revolution. I think my luggage allowance with Ryanair might stretch to a guillotine at Christmas if anyone fancies it?

Happy birthday Han!!

Even if she doesn't know it yet? And is not called Jill or Jilly or pet? Were you by any chance in the vicinity of Gowan Avenue, Fulham on 26th April 1999? You may just well be the type.

Although one is hardly surprised, you don't know your girlfriend that well, mate, do you? For her crowning moment of glory, the one thing you should remember off by heart... you've got totally wrong. Here, brethren, is the advert - What a load of shitbags. Lemsip is crapadoodle anyway. My point here is, she is not a driving instructor in the advert. She is taking her driving test. There is a difference you know. That is all I have to say on this matter. Is Jilly a short form of Orla then? (See OoOs link re Actor in ad) And SIR Patrick Moore never married. He didn't want second best after his fiancee (yes, a nurse) was killed by a bomb.

Welcome back. It seems you've been swotting up in English class, I hope it will last. Very commendable spelling of tonight too.

Fascinating. Do you take celery salt with your drink? What are your feelings on the bemonicled Sir Patrick Moore? There is a long missed member from your neck of the woods, (i.e. up north). I believe his partner was a nurse. You wouldn't happen to know if a Mrs S Crossed works in Freemans would you?
