I am currently mere metres away from the lovely Sheppey and will be over there first thing in the morning. Currently in Shittingbourne. Have you been over recently and seen the two giant land based wind turbines? I've been up one!

has she had an arm transplant? is that the problem?

Brixton can't get enough of it

things that piss me off include a running gag that gets thumped by a page break

Mr The_Rev You are right, all people in the western world know that anything ending in the word club elicit's the question, what's the first rule of --- club. Your wife may be an alien.

ahhh, Caravan of Love by the Housemartins

It's hollow apparently. Not a real moon. Watched a youtube video all about it.

I think its rarely somebody stealing bread for an ill relative, I think that was a Victor Hugo novel.

or even invest in a tin of anti climb / anti vandal paint?

when do we wheel out deepthroat?

I know Denbigh, I spent a couple of years around there with the NHS. On a similar note, there is a closed part of a prison down in the south west that is straight out of a horror movie. I've been lucky enough to get around that a few times. . Don't know about the Russian sub - I'm spending 3 days a week in Kent at pres. I shall investigate. Utterly off topic, but a tough set of draws for the gogs today, Poland, Estonia and Latvia. I did the Lithuania trip on a bus a few years back! Might go up for the Prestatyn vs Metalurgs game. We've had a good bit of support from some north teams last few weeks.

more of the same 28 days later, I'm pretty sure this site has already been posted previously, but worth a refresh maybe

If you're at somebody else's party you really should try and put up with their shite taste, not least because you must know in your heart of hearts that your taste is different shit not better shit. Not that I party much, but on the odd occassion I do get to a BBQ or somesuch you can usually tell if the male or female is running that house and party. If you get there and you have generic pop, the laydee is in charge. If you get there and it's a Trojan Reggae box set or Rainbow, the man is trying (too hard) to impress. I do enjoy people looking through my collection looking for something 'else'. Ha ha, no my friend, it's all like that.

the boat race is hardly the reserve of a few toffs lots of toffs, an american or three and 25% of the BBC Sport budget on the one hand it does feel a little over the top on the other, if I was resident in another country on a temp basis and wanted to stay there, I'd probably keep my nose clean

Self Bindunne! doh! I don't know what that means. Was there ever really such a programme? Or do I have a very limited joke pool. I fear it's exposed my limited joke fund. I'll go stand in the bin for a bit.

Julia Bradbury, Kate Humble, Michaela Strachan. I'd happily buy any one of them half a lager top. Tuned in once for a Michaela Stachan live beaver watch. Very disappointing.

I actually watched a bit of one of those programmes! It must have been either homes under the hammer or escape to the country. Basically there was a properly awful mid terrace house they kept on refering to as a quirky cottage. No, it's a really poor mid terrace house. Some guy bought it for about £70k as he fancied himself as a property developer. The interview guy asked him several searching questions: Q1: what do you think needs doing to the property? A1: don't know really, I'll have a look around and decide. Q2: How much do you think its going to cost to do up to be re saleable or rentable? A2: don't know really, a fair bit by the look of it. Q3: have you got a resale price in mind? A3: no, not really. I then left the room to put my head in a vice. When I came back the guy had basically rebuilt it, total cost of £117,000 and was hoping to rent it out for £500 a month.

out of curiosity, what are the advantages of an ipod over a standard generic MP3 player? Genuine question. My nippers have Zen MP3's and they appear to do everything and do it perfectly reasonably, the eldest now wants to spend about £150 'upgrading' to an ipod. For the life of me, other than the name I'm failing to see what they do for the extra £100.

went to Waitrose and picked up an Independent on Sunday oh yeah, I'm all kinds of posh

mam around here, I've stuck with mum. On a slightly different note, the English Defence League have a meeting / march in Cardiff today, they are meeting at an Irish pub at 11:45am Now I'm not claiming to be bang up to date on EDL politics or geography or anything for that matter. But I did presume that was just a poor joke when i first heard of it, but it turns out to be true. I guess they are there to complain about the mosque with red seats and a retractable roof.

I think its almost impossible to judge without giving every individual a personal assessment. Even then, who carries out the assessment? Your dad? A government official? Maybe somebody in a position of trust and care - like your teacher twice your age that's married? I think there needs to be a set legal limit, the alternative is chaos. That limit will be wrong for some people, as it will be wrong for who can drive, when you can marry, whether you are mentally ready to fire a gun, drink booze or smoke pot. That different countries have different age limits shows it can't be definitive. But everybody needs to know definitively what is and isn't allowed so they can be in no doubt that their case is not as 'special' as they will inevitably think it is.
