milton75

Job done today. 8.2 pounds of solid milton quality. Feel shredded, no idea how she did it.

Dunno if I could hack having a wee red Union flag on my feet, logo or otherwise.

Did he take it? What is going on in this town?

8. I thought I actually knew them all today except for the tennis one. Turns out I didn't know the Cat on a Hot Tin Roof one either. Which given that I've seen it is annoying!

The Game of Beaten Wives

Following the mention of Jim Traynor's new PR company in the Scrambling for Relevance thread, I did some looking online, and this made me chuckle.

When they have to use on and it's crap, yes.

I realise this is an ancient circular argument, but nonetheless... I use an iPhone for work. It's shite and annoys me. They can't even set-up their keyboard in a sensible fashion. The Samsung S5 and Sony Z3 I've recently been using are both far superior in terms of functionality and flexibility.

Out on the pull for a threesome.

Mainly because they're BEASTS though.

Or if you're in a foreign cinema and they give you a big pint of lager in the same paper cups you get coke in. You don't have to use the straw of course, but it seems the done thing when they give you the big cup with a lid on it. In Latvia you get a choice of beer or pear cider in the cinemas which pleased the missus.

Official: the PnB love-in for Adidas trainers is nothing to do with "build quality". They are the footwear of choice for BEASTS. Well, well, well. BEASTS.

I quite like a can of Red Stripe from time to time. Was always a mainstay when going to the Sub Club, as that and the bottles of Peroni were the cheapest way to keep a constant supply of bevvy down the throat.

I really wish I had the original thread to post some of the photos, but the forum was taken down long ago, and I've just had a look on the DontStayIn website and it seems they no longer have the members' photo collections, which is where someone stole that from. Bird in question used to run buses to shitty happy hardcore gigs round the country. She called herself Madcore Management and listed her profession as... an aerobics instructor!! Someone photoshopped her as Bully from Bullseye, which was a peach.

An oldie but a goodie.

Virgin Mary. Been having one every day at breakfast for a few months. (To make it a bit more interesting than usual, I've been making it halfway between a gazpacho and a virgin mary by putting loads of stuff through the juicer. A pile of ripe tomatoes, a few celery sticks, a couple of chillies, a few cloves of garlic, a red and a green pepper, some spring onions and a bunch of parsley... once these have all been through the juicer, I add tabasco, Lea & Perrins, a splash of olive oil, a dash of sherry vinegar, some black pepper, and celery salt, and put the mix in a jug in the fridge. Every morning I pour out about half a pint and top up the pint glass with regular tomato juice. Depending on the heat of the chillies used, it makes my nose run. I think it's addictive).

Just realised I was replying to posts from 6 months ago.

I think it's just the shape, no? You've got a bit in the middle and a bit one the outside. I had an amazing one in France (can't remember what they called it over there). It was veal they used - an escalope wrapped around more minced veal, onion, garlic etc. All cooked in a tomato and white wine sauce. It was amazing. Now I feel guilty about the fact that the cows wouldn't have been "happy veal". But on the plus side, you could do it with ethical British rose veal nowadays.

6. Got ones I thought were right wrong and vice versa.

I don't think this is a particularly helpful analysis. You write all that as though she/her party/government in general isn't also concentrating on all those other things. It's not an either/or situation, and suggesting it is is akin to those clowns that go "why aren't they curing cancer or something useful", when it's announced that money is being spent on CERN, etc.

Dammit, 9 for me! Got the last one wrong.

I mind a few boys getting heavy pelters for various Hi-tec trainers when I was at school. Pumas were generally not good, but on the other hand the football boot side of it did earn them a fair amount of respect. Think the worst abuse I saw someone get was for a giant pair of "Arrow" basketball boots. Huge white jobbies with read writing on them. Looked like early Air Jordans on steroids. It probably didn't help that the lad in question was about 6'1", pretty greasy, and sporting nearly a full beard. This was about 1991, and we'd have been 13 or 14 at the time.

Great shop. Makes me feel the urge to fill the fridge.

Moving Castle

I've seen Only Fools and Horses. I don't recall Del Boy looking cool. He looked like an unfunny fud.
