Ahh, that explains your new avatar

Tenuous Link Warning They also serve piping hot American (apple) Pie??

A number of us middle-management types have made the same argument regarding the senior management posts of Administrator. As you can see - it hasn't worked

I can recommend this one, popular with Labour politicans and failed actors....

Good question Cerby. They sue for ridiculous sums because US juries are often gullible enough to award outrageous settlements based on the unfortunate concept of "sending a message". This is to encourage the defendant and others in a similar position to refrain from engaging in whatever conduct led to the lawsuit. A good example is the $8 million award to the woman who put a cup of McDonald's coffee between her knees while leaving the drive thru window, then shock of shocks spilled it and burned her legs. Her lawyers made the case that McDonald's served their coffee too hot, so their client's dumb behavior shouldn't preclude a massive payout. The jury sees a little old lady with burned legs up against a greedy corporate client, and hey presto, 8 mill. What's not often mentioned about that case is that on appeal the amount was significantly reduced as it was dealt with by a judge. And McDonald's does now serve their coffee at a cooler temperature. I think they now also include a warning message on the cups that says 'Danger - contents may be hot'

Another one! I understand that BA customers are hoping the catering company staff remain on strike and all flights get grounded again

No, but they always seem to get a book out of it. Next up Jonathan King's ' Banged up for Buggering Boys ' Allegedly.... Always best to adopt the 'Have I Got News For You' approach to forestall possible libel actions Not that I think his appeal will succeed, but you can never tell. I'm sure some ex-public school judges reckon buggery of young boys perfectly normal behaviour

too bad, surely Hollywood's due for a 21st century version of The Partridge Family More like the Addam's family

As Tonto said to the Lone Ranger when they were surrounded by marauding Indians, "What you mean 'we', white man." I hear that plaigarism is the sincerest form of flattery

You mean like this.......

I suppose Steve Coogan must have been on drugs as well - how else to explain sleeping with Courtney?? Course - if she feels depressed, I have just the solution.

What a thing to say - HCW an afterthough. I'd have you know that raising HCW to the hallowed rank of Moderator was carefully planned - although not so much trying to address the gender imbalance, more making sure we had someone to make the sandwiches and clean up after our regular team meetings.

5 is 'Top Secret', but don't know the others

Many thanks IYG. Now, if you could only post the back of the note, I can then print them out for sending to all my favourite DL friends on their birthdays

I'm sorry. I didn't mean to be racist. Just I didn't know that Maltesers were a race, as opposed to just the inhabitants of an insignificant island. Just as well I didn't differentiate between white chocote and dark chocolate Maltesers!

PS - I'm not English. Nice goal though

I don't know - he seems to have looked pretty much the same for the last 20 years or so(apart from the hair going whiter - maybe he stopped dying it!!)

And we all know that Martin was very hands on....

And like any true socialist he will have left all his wealth to the people. By my calculations (based upon a population of around 55 million in the UK), that makes it 3.5pence each. Don't spend it all in the one shop

I think just a little bit different. I have my fingers crossed that Rosa is the bus drivers first stop. But will she remember to get off???

But remember to wear some ear protectors...

Is this some granny like alternative to chemotherapy?? 'Oh, you have cancer? That's so sad. Have this nice cup of tea and everything will be okay...'

As in: you got off once, but this time you're nicked? regards, Hein Grrr.... That's the worst thing about posting on a Friday night after hitting the pub. Spelling goes to hell. And anyone who says the quality improves gets banned!!!

I get the feeling he tampers with many things quite a lot more than you, Windsor. But it is not something he likes to advertise
