    At -13°C it will be both sets of cheeks that are hurting.

    I'm sure Leeds will play a more ambitious formation than Stoke's 9-1 formation (Sometimes reverting to the flat back 10). ;)

    Off to Bangalore tomorrow on business and trying to decide whether to pack shorts and fake tan as my legs are so white they will reflect light or just wear jeans/suit.

    Around 30 c and sunny

    Need more information David. Like the offence, or where you having around the old people home again advertising Digitas.

    Actually more likely to be have been charged with being sober in charge of a car.

    Why do some people insist on pronouncing the word 'ask' as 'arks'...as in "I'll just arks this bloke what the time is"......an ark is a big boat with animals on it in pairs you dinlos!

    Andy, as much as I'd like to say I was running from a bank robbery, the mundane reality is was lasered doing 70 on a 50 dual carriageway! Never even knew we had ARVs up here, spotted their "toolbox" and we had a chat about it.

    The random disclosure thread.

    Why do people think it's suitable to use the photocopier area at work as a form of social catch-up? FFS, it's beside my desk and I don't give a crap about what you're all doing over the weekend. Some of us are being paid to actually work.

    Yeah, and while I'm at it, they all use the same opener: How are you?, or How are things? The same whenever they phone someone up. No-one cares, no-one really wants to know how you are, and that's not the reason for the call either. Just get to the point! It's completely false. It really is pathetic. And those being asked are just as bad - they always answer 'Not bad. How are you?' Be true to yourself FFS, and be honest. If they don't want an honest answer, don't bloody well ask. And don't feign false interest back either, returning the same pathetic question.

    It really winds me up.

    About the only thing. I know about women is that they're never bloody happy.

    Brilliant. Some time ago, just as his speech was coming in it started to hail and our son had never seen this before, but he did know about the moon and it was just dusk, so he called the hail "moon nuts". Still to this day we call them moon nuts.

    I love that kind of thing. I quite like it when something is misheard, too.

    My son used to call dual carriageway 'George Carroway' so that's one we still use regularly.

    One of the many life skills taught by the army is how to shout VERY loudly and the gentleman who jumped in front of me in the taxi queue last night found this out. It had been a long day's travel and spending over 2 hours on the tarmac at Heathrow in a plane full of little Tarquins and Tamara's on the way to their Easter skiing holidays hadn't helped. Waiting 30 minutes for bags to arrive and finding a distinct dearth of taxis (together with the couple of Negronis I had in the lounge at Geneva) meant that the self-important twunt who thought that he'd just jump in ahead got "STOP! THAT IS NOT YOUR TAXI; GET BACK IN THE QUEUE" at full, All Arms Drill Wing, volume. With hindsight watching him jump two feet in the air as he was about to grasp the door handle was bloody funny and looked a little bit like the start of a breakdance routine - I was standing just behind him and my ears hadn't popped yet. The taxi driver was a bit nervous on the drive home but it all ended well.
    In the Sotadic Zone, apparently.

    Although we don't have any snow here in the Deep South, I'm still fed up with winter and want it to go away.

    I'd have loved to have been in that queue- i'd have laughed my nadgers of the twonk!!

    I was accompanying an officer to the Mess one lunchtime at Aldershot barracks and we were chatting away when, without warning, he shouted at two soldiers manning the gates for some transgression he'd spotted. They jumped to attention - but nowhere as high as I did, he bloody deafened me! (Never knew you chaps were taught it, btw).

    My job is a joke and at 48 I feel bloody worthless :-(

    Sad but what was the point in trying so hard all my working life and only end up here.

    Right I'm off to find a length of rope.

    No matter how many times you create a new post for the mint Bulova Accutron on Sales Corner, we all know it's been on for ages and it's far too dear.
