ref the OP characters, one is the cockney geezer (jeff brazier) who was jade goodys first knob of a hubby and the other is somebody off eastenders and the equally mind numbing tedium for z list nobodies that is the jungle thingy.

+1 for eamon holmes

+1 piers morgan

dominic littlewood day time tv bloke

charles campion (food critic) is ok when he’s beeing family guy peter griffin

jay rayner is the food critic who grates on me, looks like a musketeer

He gave a interview with that bloke off the bbc on todays race and seemed to be saying that button was in a ‘much better place’ than he was, ‘his family are around him his girlfriend his dad all all happy and with him’ I thought it all sounded like a bit of a cop out from hamilton. I guess something must be going on?

The CBT is a (slightly odd) christmas pressie for her and maybe look at the wheels next year once she has done the test.
TJ the cost of insurance and clothing can be easily offset by the savings I will make in fuel not being a taxi!

There is a tesco near Stockton on Tees doing diesel at 135.9, no shopping needed to bring the price down either

My good lady is looking for a…hmm? chooses words carefuly…a bike with an engine. And reading (some) of the information on here it would seem that she should have something with a bit more than 50cc as she does need to go uphills to get to her place of work.
more googling to be done :?:

Earlier this year after a ‘consultation’ period or whitewash as it was decided before they announced the consultation, my company raised my contribution from 5% to 8% and reduced there contribution from 11% to 8% for 1 year and then next year it will alter again to 9% for me and 7% for them. My company is a global outfit owned largely by a number of German banks. I fear for the future……

DOH!

+1 feeling a bit silly.

Still gives me the opportunity to mention The Wideopen Dental practice, always makes me laugh when I pass the sign

Drove down to Sedbergh, with the intention of to going over to Caton then down towards Elswick. Got to Sedbergh to find out it had be cancelled. I was gutted, took my old man for a day out as he hasnt watched a stage since his mate Chisman won it back in the 60’s.
Blagged a day off work as well.

I’ve had my mondeo estate for just over 3yrs, 85k on the clock and its been fantastic, going to miss it when it goes at end of month. Replacing it with a new passat, cheaper tax ( as mentioned above) and company have speced SE model with 2ltr bluemotion engine, looking forward to the new car but feel it may be a tad smaller than the mondeo.
+1 for parking probs with mondeo it big, parking sensors on the passat( which not happy about as they are speced by company but I pick up the P11D bik on it???

did that last year was fun, got told i had to step up to big league….appprently they were missing a whipping boy

not sure if it was cancer but she had alpecia(?) as a result of stress and breakdown of marriage

got involved with my mates fantasy league this year on nfl.com, complex?? they had a live draft of fantasy teams on sunday night! I think I may be in for a poor season, it requires more commitment than the wife :wink: .

can’t remember what its called but I saw a french film with a cracking car chase with some Pug 406 I’m sure

turf it :D

No big bumps this year to keep me off the bike, but to many bad things that stopped me from riding. Heart attacks to parents, lost one still have one recovering from the attack (within the space of nine weeks), I got diagnosed with a disease (not fatal or owt just a pain to deal with), lost a good friend to a brain haemorrage, have another fighting prostrate cancer and a heart defect. Just waiting for the year to end and try to start anew. :(
I need a good start to the year, fair weather and determination to get on the bike. Got a puncture last time I was out in August and the front wheel is unchanged still, lying in the garage gathering dust.

I’m knackered and need my bed wish I could stay up :( got to get the pony mucked in the morning and best go to bed now. Mrs White don’t know I’m down here with TMS as she’s well away after bottle of chardonnay, ironically some of South East Aus’s best

like sapphire, but tanquerays where it’s at for me much smoother, though that may be my (wayward) pallet.

8O bloody hell! didn’t expect that so soon.

what can they say? Look back in recent history and as soon as a party looses power and changes leadership they have nothing to say and can’t do anything as the direction of the party has failed and those at the top have no idea where to turn. I honestly think its being in government that gives them ideas, when they in opposition they are empty vessels.
FWIW there all numpties of the highest order and the less I hear from them the better

Stoner – that scorecard brings back many memories. Mostly bad, cos if you were scoring you weren’t playing and as the 16 year at my club I used to get the scorebook to often, but it was great fun

I think form at 5 & 6 is still difficult to call given the form of 1,2 &3. I like to think that for the first time in a while England have confidence running throughout the team and even if Colly’s form is not 100% the fact the team have been playing so well allows him to come to the crease with confidence (even though he can be a slow starter, ala Ponting) that and as already pointed out 20 wkts is still a dream for the aussies. The pitch was talked about as a bit green so that should mean Tremlett gets the nod although don’t discount Swann as a bloke who will hold up an end, forecasts are for hot weather and green pitches in Perth can often crumble allowing spinners to get a favourable turn, and if the pressure is on England have been hunting the aussies like a pack of hungry wolves, shame I have to go to bed now :|

I **** hate my MIL, wants to have far to much say on our lives and how we should live them. Old bag demands that every body runs round after her whilst she sits on her arse all day long watching tv, she’s like Jim Royle, bone idle and square eyed.

‘The idiot and the gay bloke’

which ones gay? As for ‘the idiot’, narrow it down a bit

is that who she’s going out with? who is he?

TDF and Cricket….that is all

just had a look on the beeb website, they have a sat image of the snow across UK and Ktree looks like the place to ride

I like my walking boots, but the rest of the gang have wellies and they dry out much quicker :(

Years ago we had a woman at head office called Buckie Banjo.

Now that will be a proper flaming if some of those interviewers get to tear ball baggs apart, that will be worth watching.
I thought Stella was clinging on last night, she’ll have to give it a good effort next week or she’s toast. Pleased Laura’s gone, thought she was a bit lightweight in the ‘doing anything at all’ way
How the boys won that is beyond me, they pi$$ed around in bookshops most of the day.

Sheffield is very bad at present for the white stuff, the A1/M1 round most of Yorkshire has been awful.

As a Northerner, I might be a bit upset about your (tongue in cheek) remark, but as I’ve been sat at home all week dodging work I can’t :wink:

my head office in Guildford berated me yesterday for not posting something to them on Monday, I sent them pictures of my garden and the 14-16inches of snow, which meant I couldn’t get to the office to post said item.
Reply was sent to me at 3.22pm ‘ going home now as traffic is building up as snow is starting to settle ‘

poor loves, gawd help ’em!

dumbells are much better option than the wii, I’m bloody knackered today

There is a 15 mile (ish) stretch on A1 in North Yorks I go through 3 times a week sat on cruise control at 52mph, and still people pile past you at 60+

Bought the box set for my daughter, love the episode when Jen gets a date with the gay guy and Roy ends up in the disabled toilet and Moss is behind the bar in the theatre

love it :D

I used a company called apex a few years ago, they would lease on 28 day basis, got a new car every 3 months from them for 2 years

I’ve just been looking at the s3000 for the good lady, looks ok, was £89 on jessops

I thought Paloma was well hot! Liz is as well but Paloma looked nice from all angles.

13yr old wants and ipod nano 4th gen??? and GHD straighteners (for the girl with straight hair???)

the coast road on a bike? its a race track for nutters!
