Your Hi-Techs started to squeek?

Probably but I was too hungry to notice.  Almost broke into a run as I approached the Wrap-It-Up.

Have you ever been to Tamada by the way?  Georgian restaurant off Abbey Road.  Went there for my birthday and found no reason to complain.

I'm not really a London person. Occasionally Putney or Clapham to see mates or Lords for the cricket.

If Georgian food is anything like Estonian fayre I may give it a miss.

Why do i read this as, you went round picking up student nurse hitchhikers, who were never seen again?

That was when I was a lorry driver's mate for an international haulage company.

I knew the modus operandi sounded similar mate...

Thanks for filling in the gaps

I was a driver's mate for a laundry company once. We used to have to take clean towels to hotels all over the place. Went to Brighton and saw Chris Eubanks house.

Best job was doing the bins though. Had a country run one day and emptied Sting's bins.

I wouldn't touch his bin..... His son went to my old man's school when I was doing the grounds there.

Standing in front of your roofless kennel wearing your school uniform is not the same as being a security guard.

What do magical little Irish people who hide their pots of gold at the end of a Rainbow have to do with anything. I'd urge you not to take this thread off topic.

Joanna Lumley fought so you could have Gurkhas in your meal, don't be unappreciative

I had curry sauce and chips at lunch. Too dry.

I had fish and chips from the work deli.  The fish was so dry I could've snapped it in half if I'd been arsed.

Did you eat it whole then?

I had a jacket potato with beans and Frankfurter sausage. Made a nice change and reasonably healthy. Should have chosen the large though. Am still a bit peckish.

Frankfurters as in the pink things? Used to love them as a kid but would never eat one now.

No idea Sean, some sort of sausage, was nice enough.

Nope, chipped away at it with the plastic knife and fork you don't have to pay for if you've bought a sh1tty meal from them.

Going to the Heliot Steakhouse/Hippodrome Casino in Leicester Square.

Never tried Oranjeboom, the courier at work swears by it but he does mainly talk b0llocks.

That's the second time you have spelt it incorrectly today.

I've noticed that as well, not the sort of thing you'd expect from a founder. He accidentally deleted one of my posts recently as well.

Not really Sean, cannot even follow your lead and get some ale in as I am trying to shift some timber. Have nothing at all planned.

He accidently banned me once as well. 6 months till he'd realised his error.......

Never understood putting on weight through drink. All the proper alcoholics are skin and bone.

The proper ones have sold their cookers for special brew and been banned from the take away for trying to procreate with the Donner Spit

Casual ones like Jeff can still afford lots of takeaways and assorted pork scratchings and other such Yorkshire bar snacks...

SHHHH!

Coincidence I would guess. Just in case it's not though: I saw Jack Whitehall and Bradley Cooper get knocked over by a car in 2006.

Can understand Jack Whitehall but Bradley Cooper? Seems a nice enough chap....

He does but his gormless grin really gets on my nerves. Would look a lot better with a small car parked on top of it.

Did the kitten survive?

By another strange coincidence I just clicked on the bbc site and said f*****g grin is on the front page.

Touch and go on the saturday night as the x-rays showed broken pelvis and possible paralysis. They took her to a specialist who reckons he can do a reconstruction job and she's a bit happier - mostly because she's higher than Bez at the moment. F-ing speeding drivers.

Don't want appear as though I've grown myself a pair of ovaries over the weekend but hope she's ok, pretty traumatic start to life.

My step-kitten gets spayed on Friday and I must admit to being slightly worried.

Poor thing was only spayed a few weeks back. Double whammy

Cr@p on here all day

Thanks, Julius, that was immensely hurtful.

Obviously I meant after the 9.25 am watershed

Ah yes, the lamentable am watershed.

Mine will be extremely tedious for the next few weeks. Am trying to shift some weight so tend to be a salad sandwich on wholemeal bread every day.

You should have just gone running with TSMR. Would have saved you a fortune on that tracking device you bought her for Christmas.

We should get that leg-eating nut case from the C.A.R. onto the forum to spice up the lunch chat.

I am not going to go running Tina, ever. I have bought a bike though. Will have to take it out of the shed at some point.
