It could be deaf blind people using the vibrate facility to tell them when it's safe to cross, you heartless bastard.

Yep, all about being the 'right' age. Ignoring the fact they arrived late 70's and just going with the '80's theme, the likes of Pauline Black of The Selecter being on Top Of The Pops after sitting through some Genesis or David Soul etc., just felt like someone switching a fan on and blowing away some old farts.

Well dark chocolate, obviously. I'm not some weirdo.

That would be quite a decent selection. Now all we need is for a record player and a power supply to wash up!

I have a new filling, a posh white thing. I'd spent a bit of time with no filling (well, I still had the filling, but it was in the coin tray in the car). This new filling means I can eat bounty bars again. The coconut bits were a nightmare with a missing filling.

All of the above are all very very good, intelligent and very commendable. If I had a choice between listening to all of them, or 2 minutes 54 seconds of 'Fire' by Arthur Brown.....

In all fairness to Lescott I for one believe him. Back when I lived at home with my parents my arse pocket hid a load of porn mags under my bed whilst I was out driving, so it can happen.

nice to know the players are hurting too, as Lescott posted an hour ago on his twitter account:

not an album, but BBC4 currently playing motown, no filler, no messing with intros, just motown right now, Jimmy Ruffin, What Becomes of the Broken Hearted programme after this, Northern Soul

Just to echo Tony's comments earlier about small margins. We went on a safari in Kenya but my wife was ill in the morning. We spent 30 or 40 minutes with the driver of our little bus trying to persuade us to divert to a hospital. She was having none of it. Random tablets, lots of water and fresh air was her self medication, no way was she going to a Kenyan hospital. Anyway, that put us way behind the crowds that all mass around whatever animal has been spotted, our driver basically had to go and do his own thing. We sat and watched baby elephants playing for a while. Water buffalo fighting. Wart hogs, cheetah, wild dogs, gazelle type things, just loads n loads of everything. Then we saw lions hunt down and kill an ostrich. Driver said that in 10 years he'd never witnessed that before. We even had the experience of grounding the bus (I say bus, it was a Bedford Rascal), so the driver was acting as the world's most nervous look out whilst his 6 tourists tried to get it off the tree trunk it had failed to negotiate. Then, days later, snorkelling with a million fish off a reef in the Indian Ocean. All a bit **** special.

black is not a colour but I also like black I like the Dylan Thomas description of black:

ok, Useless had an idea for a thread, your favourite animal might just be a place to post cool photos of sharks, might lead to a debate about shitty sly cats versus sexy wise wolves first person to mention honey badgers or post a photo of a muppet drummer gets a wedgie currently my fave animal is: fox

start the thread, start the thread I have a favourite

the cold plastic kiss of the lid being down caught me out recently wasn't paying attention that was a close run thing in a great many ways

I thought the white middle aged Aussie wanting to curb immigration needed a reality check right in the kisser. It was all about context last night with Nigel. He was utterly wrong in some of his 'facts', but has the skill of lacking any humility or embarrassment so just plowed on through. He was attacking the Labour leader, so he was on a bit of an easy ride. Plus of course, half the audience was from little england just down the road from Carmarthen. Crabb, the tory Secretary of State for Wales, based in Westminster, appeared slightly surprised that a question came up on saving steel, didn't have anything to say about the Swansea energy project (he literally shrugged and looked away) and confessed to 'not knowing the specifics relevant to Wales' on a health question. That's the job for me, 6 figure salary, 6 storey office in Westminster, no need to brush up on the basics before a TV programme. There's a man stealing a good living. Thought it was a fairly weak show last night.

That nobody can definitively 'prove' what pay will be after the change shows what a mess they've all managed to make of this.

I thought the comedian on the end of the panel got it about right, when he said that both sides were claiming to be close to a deal, saying there was so little in it that the other side should relent....well if it's so little for the other side to give, why is it a big deal for either side. Then there's the baby elephant in the room, working Saturdays on straight pay is all about saving lives?? So, what happened to Sunday? Which will still be an overtime day? I don't think either side are coming out of this particularly well. Doctors are a bit full of themselves, Hunt is a word removed. it's a bad mix

I do do that every now and again. Just smash straight in to the middle of thread, kick sand in their sad bespectacled little spotty virgin faces, fart like an adult male, and leave again. The difference here being, I used the word 'we'. Whereas in the wrestling thread, they smell of wee.

or we could all be massively over thinking a programme on the telly about cars

did somebody say quality tweet?
