She was a ladyboy then? If that's your thing then fair play to you mate. I don't know about the phrase but I assume it would finish with an a

I'd miss it CR! In fact I think in a strange way I sort of do miss it more than missing the UK. Luckily France is keeping me occupied with things to see.

I (and I hope Godot too) would protest at the watering down of famous Belgians with insignificant Luxembourgeois! You could always start your own thread deadicated (don't worry, the coat's on) to the Duchy and The Netherregions. You seem to be capable of doing this. Touche pas à ma Belgique

Happy birthday TFH!

Maybe Ma'am could help you out?

Aren't they Reading in disguise? Don't know, but they can PM me if they don't want the world to know who they are. Your secrets safe with me Oh I take it back, it can't possibly be Reading's former gaffer TMFKA General Akbar then

Aren't they Reading in disguise?

Happy birthday in eternum+!

Well, that just leaves plan B alors, time to fire up our Heath Robinson H-bomb and undiscover the new world. We could then convince the Portuguese, who don't appear to be too busy finding Maddy, to set sail on a voyage of discovery to refind the now undiscovered new world, send out all the most despised European politicians (er I'm guessing that's most of them) to colonise and more importantly write a constitution outlawing the use of guns. After all it was the Chinese who invented gunpowder and there are those that wish to surpress the rise of this superpower. The embargo on Chinese gunpowder could be disguised as a Free Tibet protest. Stay tuned, next I intend to tackle climate change with the use of a tin of brasso, an ostrich feather and the population of Liechtenstein.

Don't forget the unwritten rule that all female PE teachers are lesbians. Ask any female in the UK, they are bound to have had the same urban myths at their school.

Bill Hicks' opinions on the NRA (ca. 2 min in) I couldn't find the Bill Hicks clip I wanted but it goes a little something like this: Obviously one allows for gun crime inflation in our respective nations, though I believe the difference to still be significant.

Sitting Duck. Okay, so I deviated a little.

Pillock Edit: Timmy's tool, it's not quite as big as you remember is it?

Evolution: Scandal! Sex-starved and still surviving. Is this the kind of anecdote you are after re breeding and females?

Perhaps there is Godot? One can never be sure that there aren't other special places out there on the DL. There may be secret places that even the mods aren't aware of and there might be secret mods patrolling these secret forums. DL gestapo if you like (at this point I'd like to add that I have my suspicions over a few grammar fanaticists ) This might be a paradox as worthy as Schrödinger's cat but I'm not losing sleep over it. Embrace DL agnosticism oh and vote Dunn! As an aside, from an already off topic whoredom of a post, this left-right brain nonsense... Are the left and right cerebral hemispheres reversed if you are a leftie? I took two highly respected and scientific tests (ahem, well the facebook application read as such), each arriving at a different conclusion. Before someone says it, yes there is the hypothesis that in fact such results are positively correlated with having a vacuum instead of grey matter. My little lemma is that lefties are supposedly controlled by the "right brain" but scientists are naturally "left brained", so my brain just got confused. However I know this theory to be pish owing to the sheer number of lefties (above that 10%) I've worked with. Though on reflection I think that the one in ten is an underestimation as we move further away from the with us lefties more people feel free to be left.

In a survey of one, I asked myself if I spotted trains. I told myself no. Therefore women do not spot trains, QED. BTW it's a more challenging sport over here as they is more industrial action but I'd like to think the frenchman goes for onion over tomato soup. Interesting that you bring up the list thing, I had a little rant on the ladies DL forum about people finding the need to compile lists as I was a bit scared I'd offend the sways of DLspotters on the main forum. So what the heck, I'll go and offend all you non-lady DLers and post my post here. And bore you to boot.

Signifying only a cultural obsession with mediated spectacle. Hillary actually climbed Everest, whereas Heston did not actually part the Red Sea. Whose was the most significant achievement? Seems the views on people's relative fame may have something to do with an aspect US v UK culture. I would imagine far more of my English friends could name the world's tallest man, even though he was American, than could my US friends. Something about the British obsession with detail - not just that there was someone almost nine feet tall, which is all the Americans really care about, but that he was named Robert Wadlow. Every British schoolboy is brought up knowing the first man to climb Everest was Edmund Hillary, the first four minute mile was run by Roger Bannister, that the first solo non-stop flight across the Atlantic was by Charles Lindbergh. It's why Britain has train spotters and came up with the Guinness Book of World Records, while America has Hollywood and daisy-cutters. For what it's worth, to me, Heston dying is much "bigger" news than Hillary. Ahem, so what is it that us British school girls are brought up knowing then? For what it's worth, to me, achievements and former glories aside, the "bigger" news deaths are those who have died young like that Ozzie cowboy actor. Neither Heston nor Hillary are in anyway shocking to me as they were old and death is expected n'est pas?. Unless there is some secret stem cell research organisation out there unbeknown to us plebs (CEO and CGP (chief guinea pig) is probably Dunny himself)

After a 16 match unbeaten run the Clinques have finally lost it French style. I just wonder which one of my players might play Zidane? Well it wasn't as bad as that but I just have to congratulate AtJ for penetrating my defence not once but twice whilst my team sat back and went on strike. Some might prefer of Coup de Boule. I promise, no bouche de foutre press release naffness this time though!

So you think it would be all right for Britain to have a national anthem in which the first four sentences begin with a conjunction? Not to mention the American-style thingy of asking a question then not answering it. And of going on and on about weapons, be they rockets and bombs or bows, arrows, spears and swords or whatever. I'll stick with God and Her Majesty for the time being if you don't mind. Nor the fact that a modern day Jerusalem is not something to aspire for in our green and plesant land. Oops did I just start with a conjunction there? Having said that bows of burning fire and arrows of desire have nothing on La Marseillaise. Strange they didn't work in the phrase nous sommes les singes qui mangent de fromage avec une tendence à capituler. Okay, that's far from perfect but you get the idea, oui?

Happy birthday Cowboy Ronnie!
