SFB – you could post and let us be the judge of that 😉

You’re a brave man Juan, well done

You’ve made me smile

oh go on Jaun….

You know you want to…..

Well after all the oggling you guys seem to do I think it’s only fair we get a pic we can oggle 😉

Ok so what happened to the naked photo???

and no I’m not volunteering 😉

If you haven’t eaten at his resturant you can’t say he is mad…

His food is the most gorgeous food I have ever tasted, the guy is a genius.
Wish I had a fraction of his creativity with food.

My little boy cat regularly farts when enjoying a stretch (normally on my lap or when sitting next to me on the couch), then gets that pleased “look/smell what I just did” look.

Must just be a bloke thing across all species…

Any news???

Nice pics girls – so nice to be able to put faces (albeit muddy) to the names

Have managed to now escape the locked room with no windows….

I’m free!!!!

I did have a male cat when I was younger who had not been snipped who went walk abouts for a week, came back a bag of bones but seemed happy to stay at home after that.

I hope he comes back home soon, looks a very handsome chap.

PS – does he have a tag with either your address or telephone number on it?

Another vote for cinnamon and sugar and a touch of lemon juice – yum!

Or if you like it super sweet maple syrup and lemon juice.

All pancakes ready to go for this evening 🙂

Will feel like a lard arse for eating so much, but will hopefully give me enough of a sugar high to last me through Lent.

OK, I’m happy to get grief for this, but I did a sponsored famine every year for World Vision when I was a kid (well from age 10 to 18), they did a 40 hour famine (normally 8pm Friday to noon on Sunday) You were allowed to have either a spoon of honey or a boiled sweet once an hour, and drink as much water as you wanted.

For me, it was a great experience, not only did it make me feel like I was doing something to help a greater cause (all money went to charities to feed starving kids in Africa) it also made me realise what those kids have to go through on a daily basis and how lucky I was, to not have to worry about where my next meal was coming from.

As for the SU thing, again it’s something I was involved in as a kid through my school, unless you’re extremely anti religious I can’t see why you would not want to expose your child to this, it will broaden her horizons, give her a taste of religion and if it’s a path she wishes to chose then let her do it, if not it’s a harmless life experience, which in my experience introduced me to a number of lovely people a lot of whom I am still in contact with.

Knew I should never had read that, don’t care how drunk you are that is just beyond awful.

What if he’d decided to put a baby in the microwave would they still have let him off? Should never ever be allowed to own a pet again, not a piddley 7 years!

Had a similar thing in the last place I worked, couldn’t change in the loos due to short height stalls (wasn’t allowed to use disabled loo as that belonged to the office downstairs), so had to change in comms room, not fun when you work with all men and they choose to ignore the “please can I have five minutes alone in the comms room to change?”, funny how they all suddenly had work they HAD to do on the servers at that time. Had to leave clothes hanging in there too, nothing like freezing cold wet clothes to change into for the ride home. Bike was left under stairs in the reception area, but that was stopped when they did the refurb, so option was to leave it in the car park round the back where there was nothing to chain it to and no CCTV.

Gave up in the end.

I have a James Martin one – fairly cheap and cheerful, but does a fantastic job.

James Martin

If you do a beef stew try chucking a block or two of dark chocolate in it about 30 minutes before it’s done, gives a fantastic glossy finish to teh sauce and doesn’t make the stew taste of chocolate or sweet, just a good flavour.

And if you like nutty type foods a spoon of peanut better always blends very well, with most red meat based stews.

Have to say I’m with CFH and BigDummy on this, there’s just something about a man wearing a morning suit.

a foobar’d knee (although is now slowly on the mend 9 months later)

a fairly knackered back (should have hit the kid instead of the tree, at least he’d have been soft to land on)

and numerous funky dents in my legs from either pedals/braches/roots/rocks and sporting a variety of bruises as soon as it gets warm enough to wear a skirt…

Still wouldn’t give it up though. 🙂

On the email, select Options (or Tools Options in some older versions) and then just tick the box that says request a read (or delivery) receipt for this message. You just need to remember that some organisations prevent those receipts being sent out of the organisation

Well enough of you must have voted him in to get the post in the first place, I’d have him back in Henley with pleasure if you don’t want him in London.

Stupid he is not.

20 – but I had to use old spelling rhymes to get those right…

Just tell them you’ll be a toned super fit mtb’ing god come summer.

Or you could tell them you heard it increases your erm… “performance” it would be interesting to see how many decide to take it up then 😉

What I can’t figure out is why I can’t get a digital twin tuner PVR, with DVDR and HDD, you can get single tuner ones, so I just can’t figure it out.

here here CoffeeKing, so nice to know I’m not the only one – was starting to think I was a freak of nature 🙂

I know if youre a girl and drink more than 8 cups a day it makes PMS even worse than a normal person.

Apparently drinking over 4 cups a day can increase the risk of a heart attack.

Your average cup of filter coffee has about 700mg per litre, where as redbull has 320 mg/l.

Just my musings….

I’m a bit of an old girl on this one, until you’ve reached the really comfortable stage of a relationship, I’d say there’s never a reason why you can’t excuse yourself and do it in another room, outside etc….

I know it’s natural, but c’mon we really don’t need to smell it.

Oh and as for the head under the duvet stunt… Never funny…

I started riding at about 12/13, but that was all road riding.

Now 30 and do so much more mtb’ing than road riding
(well when my knee is back to full form i will be doing more mtb’ing – currently just doing a bit on the Turbo to strength it)

Well these are my two – just remember they’re only temporary

Upper Bed

Lower Bed

I dug my beds probably a foot and a half deep (felt like they were metres deep though). I lined one with a lining that you use for hanging baskets – it was old and rotting in the roof of the shed and free, and the other with a couple of layers of cardboard, I’ve had no weeds growing through.

For the top bed I used a mix of compost, peat and fertilizer, the lower bed was just compost and soil, but both produced really good crops

And as pointed out on wild about gardening, don’t use any logs that have a black web like fungus on them, it’ll spread and kill everything, esp trees, in the neighbourhood.

We just used old chipboard, but it is only temporary as we rent.

Don’t laugh – but Burberry “Touch”, or you could always try sending her off for a day where you make your own…?

I’m wfh today, but it was decided on Friday that whole team would be (obviously nothing to do with the fact we have auditors coming in)

Will probably get flamed for this but I do like him….

Ok – yes I know I have slightly odd taste in men…

OOOh thanks Aleigh – how could I have forgotten about him….?

Specs are a definite plus, shape doesn’t matter as long as it suits your face….

Famous only helps because we can find your pics on google images, it gets a bit stalker-esque when you start posting pictures of randoms you know…

London-lady – not odd at all – Hmmm had some how forgotten about him…

Very nice…

BTW – am I the only one who has a bit of a thing for Mr Howard?

oh yes very much so – slightly moody looks are good….

Oh yes must agree oh my….

LOL – I did wonder if anyone think I had gotten FSB and SFB confused…

C’mon the rest of you guys…..

And another girlie here, but I post much less frequently than I used to, and given I’ve been off the bike since August last year, due to a dodgy knee, I don’t feel much like a mtb’er at the moment… But come summer I hope to be back to my full strength.

Must restart the Friday Bloke thread…
