I wonder if he's one of the clearings in the woods that drove tanks and vehicles up and down olive groves that took generations to establish? Sat at home now posting on the net that the 'rabs should concentrate on building their businesses and tourism.

Do you do anything together? It doesn't read very well does it! The joy of working long hours away is the random days off together without the kids. She's my best buddy.

separate bank accounts - but both with joint names and sigs to make it easy to get cash in a death sized disaster separate savings accounts - but in joint names All passwords to everything even flickr and the pin code for adult content on cable TV, written down in a book in the safe (oh, and we both know the combination!). Most of my kit, including phones, laptops and tablet are property of the office so nothing too naughty on any of it. They have the ability to know I'm on non-work related websites all day. As long as I bring in the work and send out the invoices they don't have a problem with it. She knows me well enough to know I'm on here all day and playing on twitter. She knows me well enough not to bother checking up on me. I spend a couple of nights away every week (every week for the last 10 years), I've been London all day today, Brum all day tomorrow and London again over the weekend If either of us were 'that' type where there was suspicion or checking up or cyber stalking each other it would have died a death years ago. We like very different nights out so generally she will walk down the hill to indulge in pub grub and I'll end up in a shitty little dive somewhere watching 'fairly obscure reggae bands', pretending I'm far harder and hipper than I really ever was.

my brother once burnt down a whole caravan site - but that's another story.......

Why is it only me that can prevent forest fires?

Did you at least watch/listen to the clip or did you just delve in to your man bag for a stock response? I would seriously doubt Tony would admit to having a man bag. He has pockets and a wife. Anything that can't be carried by them would be delivered. Agree about the Mariah hiccup. It's very similar to the Mariah / Celine multi note yodel mid phrase, a modern affectation that's about on a par in my affections with the Islamic State. I think the basic problem was that its a bit of a shouty song. Much preferred the Muppets / Beastie Boys effort from Dave, even though I suspect it's lip synced if you really study it.

well that's another one not buying the Villa

Agreed. You can either go down the very dry academic route of trying to extract basic maths and prove 'x' started in central africa 900 years ago and 'y' first appeared in icelandic fishing ditties in 1770. Or, you might just as well argue over which is the nicest colour (it's baby blue, just like my 5c). The 'list', is simply everything that has gone before. From Wagner, Mozart, Music Hall, Methodism, Woody Guthrie, The BBC Radiophonic Workshop, The New York Dolls and The Bay City Rollers. Everything except heavy metal, which is the musical equivalent of Down's.

something slightly Sophie about that picture

ghost ramsey!

Thom Yorke?

there you go, I saved you a load of letters oh, here's a song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CWrMGXwhFLk from about 1:26 I guess it gets relevant to the conversation.... one for hipsters that were hipsters a few years ago

The nice thing is, if it all goes wrong, you could live in it! I get to drive one a couple of times a month due to a strange quirk with the local rental company not having many automatics in its pool, I'm sure you could get most other cars inside.

Vanishing Point A great little time capsule of a film with minimal plot* that I've watched countless times and watched again today. I love everything about it, even the crowds of spectators perched on corners watching the stunt car action. Even the number of times Kowalski loses the front nearside hubcap only for it to be miraculously back in place in the next shot. *plot: man has to deliver a car in a crazy timescale / he drives quite fast / police try to stop him / he drives quite fast / flashbacks show you how he became 'the delivery driver' / he drives quite fast

This graph attempts to equate an attempted poke in the chest to an actual smack on the head with a lump hammer. stones thrown vs streets levelled

don't mean to be a pedant, but it's Scotchish

dealerships must be the weak link for so many car companies, they can come up with any amount of research and development and make great product, if the herbert in the showroom is a douche, then it all falls over

I was soooo close to correcting your spelling!

Should we be sharing the excitement with a broad spread of other threads?

Why on earth would somebody go to the trouble of shaving a chimp? Did it pass out first in the jungle juice challenge? Has it been out celebrating Uni results and woken up two days later, shaved, in Godalming? Really don't see the need to shave a chimp. Beavers maybe.

yep, it says 'original' Back in the day, working with invisible tape, or better still, drawing on acetate and then using a scalpel to scratch off your mistakes - you get one go at scratching of a mistake and then it's start the whole sheet again. Anybody ever used an old school dyeline amonia based A0 printer? I was the ace and banging those babies out.

Well jee, it's a tough one. If weeks of bombing and turning streets to rubble hasn't worked, if shelling schools and hospitals hasn't worked, if killing children hasn't worked, I dunno. Maybe just do that again and see if it works next time?
