I think it is a grey ground Julius rather than black and white, so we may agree to disagree on this one

You could be right. If only you'd stuck to sonoluminescence, it definitely would have merited a round of applause. As it is, I'm not sure my conscient will allow it.

Particle man, particle man
Doing the things a particle can
What's he like? it's not important
Particle man

Is he a dot, or is he a speck?
When he's underwater does he get wet?
Or does the water get him instead?
Nobody knows, particle man

Triangle man, triangle man
Triangle man hates particle man
They have a fight, triangle wins
Triangle man

Universe man, universe man
Size of the entire universe man
Usually kind to smaller man
Universe man

Hes got a watch with a minute hand,
Millenium hand and an eon hand
When they meet it's a happy land
Powerful man, universe man

Person man, person man
Hit on the head with a frying pan
Lives his life in a garbage can
Person man

Is he depressed or is he a mess?
Does he feel totally worthless?
Who came up with person man?
Degraded man, person man

Triangle man, triangle man
Triangle man hates person man
They have a fight, triangle wins
Triangle man

You got a bee in your bonnet Galted?

I keep on churning away, but pay no mind

Logical.

And you know it's hard to pretend.

What did you have for breakfast Galted? Kippers?

Nicotine for breakfast just to put me right.

Me too - I've been living on coffee and nicotine.

53 free nicotine days for me so far.

Easy for some - the rest of us have to buy cigarettes instead of confiscating them from immigrants.

That would surely make it easier for me to continue smoking Shah?

Free nicotine days Rowley rather than nicotine free

Fair point Shah, poor English on my part. Easy this stopping lark though, just wish crack was as easy as this.

Rowley wrote:just wish crack was as easy as this.

You and me both.

I have no interest in your crack.

Liar.

It's probably true Tino - he probably does it out of habit... You can't teach an old dog new tricks.












Sorry.

To be honest though have just dropped back into the boxing boards and in the 53 days period I have not wanted a cigarette more.

I have posted on there today. 3 times.

I didn't think my offerings were that bad, Jeff.

It is three more than I will manage, same old people, same old arguments. Might reopen the news section, might draw them away.

I need a wee but can't be bothered to visit the gents. It is beginning to hurt.

Truss and TopHat will just gravitate there for arguments. They just need to meet up, have an evening together and get all that sexual tension out in the open. That will sort it.

You had one yet or is it still hurting?

Crack is very moreish.

Had one. Lasted at least 30 seconds maybe a minute.

It's worth it when you outlast everyone at the urinals.  You're now the alpha male at your work.

Until someone takes a dump in the sink.

Chicken, Edamame and Ginger Soup from Pret

Taste 0/5 – had onion in it.
Price 0/5 – see above.
Health n/a – who wants to live in a world with onions?
Naming of the meal 0/5 - f*cking disgrace, no mention of the hideous great flaps of onion on the board in the store. Sly b'stards had mentioned it on the website though to avoid comeback. Well sod them, vengeance of the most miffed type is a'coming.

Overall 0/5 – dreadful, contained onion. Really disappointed that I didn't get a delicious chicken burrito from Wrap-It-Up. Rowley could have bought 6 tweed flat caps with the money I wasted on this abomination and still had change for a pint of bitter and a bag of offal-flavoured hula hoops.

I feel for you. I have a similar hatred for all things onion and it winds me up no end when people try to sneak them into in my food. Every other bloody ingredient gets a mention but never onions. The b**tards!

I assume you have to insist on no onions in your burritos?

That's correct, I have aubergines instead of the salsa which has bits of onion.

I often wonder why when blokes get to Jeff / Julius's age, they feel the need to shake their hamptons vigorously post urination? Whilst I believe this to be a non homo act, it is nonetheless perturbing seeing an older bloke choke the ckicken at the boggas.

Onions make the world go round!

You won't get me, I'm part of the onion.

Indeed, Sean. Anymore than two shakes qualifies as a five knuckle shuffle in my book.

I'm glad I'm not the only one to notice.

Best urinal prank is to walk into your alloted space and pull your trousers and pants down to your ankle as a child would. Not recommended at work but definitely at weddings.

If you live that long you may find out. However, given your alcoholism and personal hygiene issues, I doubt you'll make it.

Very true although I'd like to think I'll always be a 'tuck it back in and let the pants do the work' kind of guy.

At my age I often forget to put my underwear on (or have to remove it during the day) - hence the need for the urinal hampton dance.

Bugger is when you are wearing pale coloured trouser type garments. Shows up the drippage someting chronic. Perhaps there is a business case for a male sanitary pad?

The word "hampton" has brought me to a state of near-hysteria. One of my colleagues just complained that his three-cheese ravioli wasn't very good and even that set me off. The walk to the station is going to be painful unless I can pull myself together, I'm worried I'll see a cyclist getting run over or a beggar wearing a hat.

Spoiler:

Someone has already patented it, seany. In 1984.

Bad luck.
