I spent most of the year at sea, and a lot of time in the states, and a bit watching my daughter be born into the world and the rest renovating the house we would all call home.

email the warden up there, can't think of the address but I'm sure its Andy?? check the 7stanes site.

travelodge on rose street is fine for a 1min trip to wetherspoons for breakfast

underneath north bridge, bring your own cardboard box.

I stopped at the ballantrae on york place in march, reasonable and had free parking! quite near st andrew square. room 10, fourposter and cracking views across the firth of forth.

'Someone else's point of view is always interesting'

INTRUDER ALERT!!!! INTRUDER ALERT!!!!

Stop this idiot now before he infects the forum with his spontaneous outbreak of fairplay and niceness!!!

I was down here a couple of weeks back, sadly no bike. Nice place's though

hmmm….pallet truck on grass loaded with large brick thing hmmm….? = one ruined lawn and a bad back, wheels on truck won't even turn I reckon

My company has a goal to become a High Performance Organisation, it has specifically employed previously unemployable aholes to oversea this project. Each has there own area of specialism (IMO cretinism, ahole licking & the inability to say no boss I won't do that are sadly under represented catorgories).
Some of us are asking what the yardstick is for an HPO company, we'll probably get the answer BP

Was watching the game with a couple of mates last night and spent most of the first half trying to remember the name of the spiv in Dad's Army, Private Walker. Maybe thats what Joey's into, 70's TV show, the obvious one being Porridge.

When I moved to Gosport in the early 90's some of us went across to Pompey for a few beers, when we got back to the harbour at 1am to find the ferry had gone to bed we got in a taxi to take us all the way round to Gosport £27, there was a small boat at the bottom of the harbour steps doing the same trip for £2.50pp :x

Hull has its redeeming features, Cottingham is a nice little place beverly has some open spaces and a racecourse and wild cows.
I'm no Gloria Hunniford, apologies

I think JonT won the enduro, I was there at the prize giving bit and it didn't look like there were to many around, pity it was a cracking day weather wise.
Wasn't racing BTW.

Lots of options there, thanks people.

Rusty sorry mate, but my backs playing up otherwise……

It would be good at some stage to have onions back in the game as he's more of an up and down bowler rather than swing which won't be as useful in aussie conditions, I'll be happy if we go to Aus with confidence and good results in our favour as long as the media don't go crazy on our chances

EDIT

I'd hate to have bought tickets for Saturday

I'd hate to have bought tickets for Sunday.

'So I tried Radio 4 which was a bunch old men and women mumbling on'

Thats singletrackworld in radio form

well, who's seen owt?

Paul, I am on vodaphone, but why spoil a nice suprise for gloria

my work phone currently states that I'm on holiday and will be back in the office whenever andplease contact our callcentre etc….
checked my voicemails today as doc has my work number and waiting for some test results, to find….

'hello gloria, its val I'll be coming up this weekend to visit with george, hope you'll be home as I've lost your home number. Anyway we are leaving in the morning and will be there around 5. Don't put yourself out george will stay on the settee and I'll jump in with you as usual, bye love see you soon'

Now, I'm not quite sure where to start with this

missingfrontalobe, your dead right with the rebound thing! was given weeks worth of 500mg paracetomols and feel worse every time I have them, have gone for the ibruprofen. doffs cap

I saw them years ago, must be nearly 20 years. Fantastic sight, our local weather forecast chappy was recommending going upto Kielder or somewhere for best views, I tried it with the other half as an excuse to go riding, but she wasn't having it I'm banned from the bike for a while.

I'd had some major headache onsets recently, popped into local walk in last Friday and next thing I knew it was CT scans and lumbar punctures up at A&E.
Fortunatley I'm in the clear for haemorrage probs, but still a bit concerned about these headaches. I was having my BP and other stuff check every hour whilst in hospital but nothing showed up as being too bad.
It was an underpants transplant I needed after he said the word haemorrage, was a little bit shaken. I lost a mate from one a few months back.
Regular health checks men, there's none of us getting any younger!

I thought it was last night?

We run a fleet of around 12 07-57 caddys, great motors, a few of them are over 100k now and have had very few issues with them.
I have used one for a couple of weekend trips away with the bikes, ideal for 2 bikes camping gear and changing room.

I was near Santa Ponsa/Magaluf recently and couldn't find much, think it may depend where your going. I understand riding/hire is better in the north of the island.

I think most of the calls today went really well, rather than saying the umpire had a stinker, would it not be fair to say that the system works. As TJ points out the 3rd umpire needs to be sure to overturn things and sometimes leaves the decision as it stands, made by the man on the field.

Good effort from Morgan and Colly today after a bit of a wobble. Not the best Pakistan side but they have given the Aussies a ggod ride recently

Tarrant and winonr suck, not a big wright fan, can't stand his I love me attitude, but those 2 are awful, winton's drone grinds for all of the 2 seconds I can listen to.
I thought I would miss Simon Mayo on 5live as he had some really great guests and interesting discussions. Him and Kermode are great crack on the film slot. However I think Richard Bacon has done a pretty good job so far.

'positive for drugs' – you'll have to hand back that Olympic Gold now…bummer :lol:

you'll be right mate and good luck with the job

I agree with a lot of the above, it is a war and mistakes will inevitably happen. I think the leaking of this info will if anything, do more damage to the guys on the ground now rather than the politicians, who as pointed out already will blame others (as is the basic poltico answer to shit rolling downhill, 'it wasn't me a big boy did it' :roll: )
Ignorance is sometimes bliss

'its a bit of a nip and tuck game'

Just heard that on TMS commentary AUS v PAK, nip and tuck???

Cricket, football, plastic surgery…whats the nip and whats the tucking involved??

I've been going to get one of those roll up jobs, they look good and will stop the leaves and general crap blowing under the up & over I currently have (2" gap leaves the garage real nippy during the winter)
Not really looked into it much, any recommends out there?

'I'm never Mr current affairs'

I thought you excelled with Raoul reporting the other week, don't put yourself down

yes cheating French footy icon signs for New York footy team, New York home to thousands of Irish (and wannabe Irish).
Did his agent think to mention this?

best of luck mate

there is a shed company convinced I've shopping for a shed….I hate to disappoint them but there wrong. Subliminal advertising don't work on me anyway…..now where did I put that JML ironing board cover :wink:

condorman – frank spencers finest moment

shit gazza needs some help, thats just fubar.

?? expand on that, not sure i get you point

did you hear about the dyslexic South African?
He was arrested for blowing a zulu's vulva
