well, for your homework – the tastiest cut, according to my nextdoor neighbour, is apparently the little muscle between your thumb and forefinger. (and I don’t mean that little muscle – put it away, dirty boy)

“Neil Andrew Howe Fox (born 12 June 1961 in Harrow, London[1] England) is an English DJ and TV presenter, known for many years as Dr. Fox before he became “Foxy” in the 2000s. He is now known simply as “Neil Fox, M.D.”, even though he lacks any doctorate degree. He was a judge on Pop Idol, along with Simon Cowell, Pete Waterman and Nicki Chapman. He currently appears as himself (albeit judging a superhero talent show) in BBC Three sketch show The Wrong Door.”

It would be but you you don’t put that much oats in there, its only a sprinkle :-)

although maybe you’re onto something!

I’ve been quite liking Potage – medieaval peasent food. Pick four pre-Francis Drake veg (no potato/tomato/tobacco) and make soup with them and some added oats. Garlic is allowed, if you’re feeling orthodox about it choose non-root veg, back then even peasents didn’t consider them fit for human consumption. Always surprisingly good for something so un-clever.

It’s obvious how that magic carpet works.

They have photoshopped out the fairies underneath.

Are you colour blind? the fairies ( ->) are shown in black in the first diagram, dutifully holding up the wing while their pals playfully slide down the slopey bit. In real life fairies are red, but the first illustration is in black and white. If you can’t see the fairies in the second illustration its because you can’t see red. Which is your loss, as red fairies (or Red Arrows as they like to be known) are quite good at flying and put on rather an entertaining display

200m visibility – thats not fog. My mum grew up in London – fog was when she couldn’t see them ceiling inside St Pauls.

and not strictly a theme tube but I’ll throw this in the mix

“The gross and net result of it is that people who spent most of their natural lives riding iron bicycles over the rocky roadsteads of this parish get their personalities mixed up with the personalities of their bicycle as a result of the interchanging of the atoms of each of them and you would be surprised at the number of people in these parts who are nearly half people and half bicycles…when a man lets things go so far that he is more than half a bicycle, you will not see him so much because he spends a lot of his time leaning with one elbow on walls or standing propped by one foot at kerbstones.”

This all from a bloke who can prove he’s been paying his insurance for the last 26 years

unfortunately the last 26 years are irrelevant. I haven’t murdered anyone of the last 39 years

but that still cost him 150 quid!

Buttons – if he’d had an accident of any scale, rather than a tug from the cops he’d be paying out for the rest of his life. I’d see £150 and a bit of a blush a very narrow escape. How long would he have unwittingly continued to drive uninsured if the cops hadn’t told him?

Tesco are in for the kill – they are throwing goods away at the moment – 3 for 1 offers and the like all over the store, they must reckon they’re in the position to sink one of their competitors just now. I wonder who.

Toyota Hiace and enough change to buy another bike.
Same size, much the same power options, better heater, half the price.

hardly any out there to choose from though, they are about 4 inches too short in swb guise to be useful to most tradesmen (and either not long enough or too long in LWB) so not many get sold new for you to choose from second hand.

I was at the services at Gretna a few winters back and the sky was full with them – horizon to horizon. Plan to leave a trail of breadcrumbs from gretna to ayrshire so that I can have them all to myself.

As a well-fed Englishman living amongst the slightly less statuesque population of west scotland I often have the the honorary prefix ‘Big’ bestowed upon me.

I think its only worth stating your qualifications in a context where your advice or actions need to be trusted. Me sticking a BA hons after my name is meaningless as its no professional guarantee of competence, I can’t be a chartered / registered / qualified sculptor in the same way that someone could be a chartered (rather than graduate) accountant/engineer/architect or a registered nurse or a qualified first aider. That said I’m unlikely to be able to administer a lethal dose of art (I think Richard Serra is the only person I can think of who’s done that and its not like he’s been struck off or anything)

It would have been a far less controversial statement to make about a year ago. Thats why its embarrassing for Dave for it to be heard now. That and someone from the 80’s tory administration stating that the lucky-few-are-doing quite-nicely-thank-you. Building a firewall / collective amnesia between that kind of red-braces 80s tory and the cuddly new hug-a-polar-bear new tories of the noughties is exactly what Dave did to make the tories (very faintly) electable. Almost as soon as Dave was credited with having achieved it…. its all started to seep through again, and although he’s very quick to cut others down for letting it happen, he’s actually just as bad at doing it himself.

don’t know if windows safari works in the same was as on the Mac – bit if it does open the ‘activity viewer’ under ‘Window’ in Safari – that’ll show all the files that make up the page you’re viewing. The biggest one will be the movie you want. Try clicking/doubleclicking/rightclicking (whatever you PC users do) and it’ll download that file. The movie might not have a file extension when it downloads so you might need to guess what it is and add it

About 10 years prior to coming third in the second series of big brother, Dean off of big brother used to come round to my student house. Usually with a guitar, sometimes with a copy of his bands new album or single, or a flyer or to tell us about his latest review in NME (bad ones typically). After several months it dawned on us that non of us actually knew him, we all thought he must be a friend of one of the others, we’ve no idea why he used to come round or who he was coming to see.

I help support the NHS through the tax I pay on my ciggies.

Just to inform, this hasn’t been the case since 2003.

Really? Why’s that then?

2003 was when you started buying duty free ciggies from the bloke down the market who sells them out of his pockets

Next up is Titanic 3 in 3D – it has a timetravel plot where everything happens in reverse. At the beginning a group of people are drowning in the icy sea (we’re not sure why). Just in the nick of time a great big ocean liner just pops up out of nowhere, rescues everyone and sails them home to belfast. It seems like a happy ending but when it gets there the brave titanic is seen as some sort for freak. A crowd assembles, drags the ship onto dry land, a minor royal smashes it on the nose with a bottle then the ship is torn apart, melted and all the bits buried in an iron ore quarry.

Then next year a whole spin off franchise series of ‘Titanic v’s Hindenberg’ kicks off. The first one is called ‘Eau de Humanity’

My girlfriend has been doing some work with a family who have an autistic son. He has a charming trait of prefacing questions with “Don’t take this the wrong way, I’m not saying you’re old or anything but…….”

I’m going to start printing ‘Hora convinced me’ bumper stickers

I think its Om nom nom for those in quiet contemplation. I’m more of a NOM NOM! kind of person.

Or turn it up one more notch – “Blarg blarg BLAAAARG!”

I think the reliability rep relates to the cars they used to make the 80’s and 90’s car. Thats not to say they make bad cars now, but the competition has caught up with them to a great extent. Back then the milage counter on the dash of most cars only had 5 digits. You could say the same about Volvo and safety, they made safety their selling point back in the day, but these days you’d probably be safer in a french car. However a reputation like that is extremely difficult to loose, VAG would have to be making some real turkeys, and making a lot of them, to shake off their reliability rep, I mean the Audi TT was rated the worst car you can buy for reliability, but its just not bad enough to dent the reputation, because these days even bad cars are quite good (except the Ford Ranger)

I’ve always been a bit dubious about VW’s rep. I reckon one of the reasons they stayed on the road so long back then was that they would ‘feel’ good when they’re old and knackered. An 80s/early 90s astra would run to almost as many miles as a golf, but in its dotage a golf would still have doors that slam nicely and a crisp gearbox, the astra would look and feel shagged and finding the gates in the gearbox was like conducting a seance. So when your polo/golf/passat/T4 barfed up its headgasket at exactly 90,000miles (and everybody’s did) you’d pay £500 to get it fixed because the car still felt new and ‘they go on forever you know’. With a similar aged astra it wouldn’t blow its gasket but any minor ailment and you’d get shot of it because it was rattly and squeaky and seat springs were sticking in your arse.

There was a nice interview on the radio with Charlie Brooker talking about TV Go Home[/url] being re-released. He talked about I’m a Celebrity and watching Robert Kilroy Silk pedaling an exercise bike that flung cockroaches and maggots into his face and getting upset because Timmy Mallet was laughing at him in the wrong way and thinking “wait a minute, didn’t I write this ten years ago?”

he’d be a hero if he saved a drowning kitten mid jump, just a showman otherwise :-)

I think that clarifies things for you.
not really I understand that but what I dont get is how its public, how do news reports contain comments about such and suches facebook page etc.

Because someone told them, if you look someone up of facebook you can see who their friends are – go needle them – one of them will be genuinely flattered that a reporter thinks they’re interesting

god I love that film

September 2nd. Did not fall off outside Iddesley.

as above – weather is better than you’d expect…. but not in Inverness the town (city) itself. The river running out of loch ness is so cold it often supports its own little cloud system, so Sneckie itself can be a bit cold and grey when all around is sunny. On the plus its probably one of the loveliest rivers you’ll find running through a town so I’ll forgive it for the cloud.

But out towards Nairn the weathers great
