Why would the fact you're a moron upset me?

As an aside though another Move song, Flowers in the Rain was the first song ever played on Radio One.

That could and should have been posted on me remarkably unpopular Music anecdotes thread....

Sean, if the thread had been called useless music trivia it almost certainly would have been. I have any number of such facts I could amaze you good people with.

Hit me.

Happily, the first Spice Girls Single not to go to Number 1 was Stop, it was kept off top spot by Run DMC vs Jason Nevins - It's Like That.

Soporific on here today.

What a great start to the day!

I am particularly proud of 'soporific'.

Didn't even google it.

You should be proud of it, though Julius's kids have probably been saying "Father, one is feeling frightfully soporific" since they were 2.

Only at the weekend. They are forced to speak Latin from Monday to Friday.

"Pater, sed est animi soporiferam".

I don't let my kids feel soporific. They've been saying "Papa, those dullards on 606v2 come across as frightfully soporific"

Neither. It is a picture of a pair of hairless testicles.

Cheers, I wondered where I'd put them (they're not bleeding are they?)

Bleeding? Weeping? It is hard to tell.

I'm not quite sure that you appreciate the truly precious nature of Cremes Parisiennes .

I think I do, I was so inspired by your review of them that I intend to buy some as a Valentine's Day gift. I was going to have them delivered but am so fearful of them being damaged that I'm going to venture into the John Lewis on Oxford Street tomorrow, clutching a £10 note, to demand their finest box.

You don't need to get me a gift, Galted.

Lovely thought but save your pennies.

But I just want to see you smiling, Tino. It would mean so much to me.

Would you walk a million miles for one of his smiles?

Don't buy a gift for Valentines. Go out for a meal, you get to benefit yourself then.

JuliusHMarx wrote:Would you walk a million miles for one of his smiles?

No, but I'd be prepared to walk all the way from Bond Street to Tottenham Court Road, then to Charing Cross, then part of the way along the Strand, then back to Charing Cross.

Galted wrote:But I just want to see you smiling, Tino.  It would mean so much to me.

I am always smiling inwardly, Galted.

Rowley wrote:Don't buy a gift for Valentines. Go out for a meal, you get to benefit yourself then.

That's true but it would cost much more than a tenner and would mean I'd have to wear my long-sleeve shirt. And you can't put a price on getting boulevard-cred with Julius.

Depends where you're taking her.

Sorry, that was crass and unnecessary.

But if you buy Cremes Parisiennes, she might share them with you. If she doesn't you'll know she's a very sensible girl and is worth hanging on to. It's a win-win situation.

That's exactly what my wife said afterwards.

You're better than that Tina. Leave that kind of comment to michaels.

I was going to take her to Up The A*se. It's a Greek restaurant.

I feel a bit bad about it.

Only saved by Julius posting something witty afterwards.

He is not always going to be here to cover your tracks Tina.

Rowley wrote:You're better than that Tina. Leave that kind of comment to michaels.

He's been a bit scarce today. I hope he's alright.

Rowley wrote:He is not always going to be here to cover your tracks Tina.

Is he on your ban list then?

I think it was more a veiled reference to my advancing years.

A little hungover then thought the bosses were on to me as it said network access denied. Seems ok now.

Can barely ban you members of the lumpen proletariat, would have no hope against a fully fledged blue badge holder.

That was just me hacking in for a while. I'd backup your C: drive before lunchtime if I were you.

I have been getting that Sean, it is down to a lag on the DNS server, and just looks like a warning of dodgyness.

Happens on most web monitoring software

Nice work.

Just googled it and apparently there is no space between 'lumpen' and 'proletariat'.

Clever post though.

that is good to know. thought i was going to have to use my phone which I haven't really worked out yet.

nah you are safe (If slightly Ludditeish) for a while yet sean

Cheers Tina, felt after you hit us with soporific I had to raise my game slightly.

I know. I have this new nokia phone and it is driving me up the wall. I want to be able to look at internet in emergency, phone someone or take pictures. Instead I've got a screen that's like a bloody game of Tetris.

Rowley wrote:Cheers Tina, felt after you hit us with soporific I had to raise my game slightly.

Cheers Jeff.

I am still glowing over my use of 'soporific'.

I intend on using it once at work, and once when I get home. I need to go to the supermarket tonight so may even attempt to get it in there if the opportunity arises.

I can see your point the Microsoft GUI is a pain and doesnt look that good.  I believe it quite good when you get the hang of it though.

F*cking hell, Rick. You're currently quite high on my list of top 10 posters. You carry on talking about phones and DSN server lags and you'll quickly find yourself slipping down the table.

Servers are more relevant than worms with legs....

F*ck off, michaels.

The thing is, I know you quite well now and I know you don't believe that. You're trying to wind me up.

Whether IT is more interesting than insects. As far as discussions go is akin to debating Westlife's best album.

This mild wet weather is a nightmare for my cricket square. Fusarium is rife and the lumbricus terresta are casting everywhere.

You can't help but shoehorn Westlife into things can you?

Come on then, I will humour you.

Jeff, do tell us, have you any interesting musical anecdotes about Westlife?

Make it factual if you do, I might want to post it on michaels thread and can do without being corrected.
