my brother will walk around and check all 4 doors even as he walks away from his car ..me i click the button with my car key in my pocket as I'm walking away , you can hear it beep when it's locked so if I hear a beep it's good enough for me he's the same with the house he will walk around and check every door and window , I just go out ,leaving my windows open all the time

Arse .. beaten to the punchline by a yeti

your "normal" accent has scouse in it .. far from normal I'd say :-)

we've just had our record ever August (in over 20 years of operating) , turnover this year is likely to be up around £300,000 on the previous year we had a tough 12 months but came through it without having to lay anyone off , we cut back on a few areas of spending and myself and my follow directors took salary cuts in order to assure that nobody lost their job ... not saying that is the solution everywhere but I do feel too many companies have no loyalty to staff and took the easy option or panicked

I refuse to eat green penguins , it's red or blue or not at all if it's french or green then there is no place for it in this world

indeed ...as i already said , for shame Jon

patronising FTL though posts like this do explain why the main topic has indeed deteriorated , really don't see why people can't have (and express) an opinion positive or negative and have their view respected ... for shame Jon

or you have an unhappy player who leaves in Jan for £25m as his head hasn't been right there is usually only one winner in player v Club battles

least Dunne will have someone to keep him company in the bars ...

Houllier all the way could see what he was hoping to achieve and it didn't involve a ball coming down with snow on it plus it also didn't include Heskey in Midfield

^^^ Hairiest bush I've ever seen in a film ..gave me worse nightmares than the rats .....

OT do you think it still exists ? ok true Kate middleton was groomed to snarl a prince and he wouldn't have been allowed to marry Sharon from Essex , but that aside I don't see much evidence of class prejudices any more .. I even allow some of my working class chums to enter the house through the front door nowadays :winkold:

tricky debate this as invariably someone will post "oh so you only want rich people to have children" The state ought to support people in need , but shouldn't allow people to make living off the state a lifestyle choice ...

which also explains why England win f**k all

Watched on the plane in the past week or so ... Thor - boring Source Code - Enjoyable but hated the ending Battle los Angeles - poor mans Cloverfield but Ok True Grit - the first Coen brothers film i've really enjoyed Unknown - Enjoyable enough The Lincoln Lawyer - enjoyable liked the way MM played the character , possibly has legs to make more of the books into films

My mate just gave me a copy of "1000 years of annoying the french" can't think why he would think it would appeal to me :-)

Just this last hour got back from China :-) I went to Ethiopia briefly in 1984 around the time of Live Aid ... was full of Warlords driving around in Rolls Royce's ... ok it wasn't quite that bad but it was clear that the money wasn't reaching its intended location My dive guide in Djibouti spent 6 months there she loved the place and it's certainly a place I want to explore in more depth .. The Highlands especially .. I wouldn't wander around the streets of Addis Ababa at night though

Roma FC shop is in the city centre Do the night walking tour if you can , they took us off the beaten track to sone superb places that we would have missed ,We booked it at the Colosseum with the people that we did that tour with , Also did a pub crawl with them , was free for me as it was my birthday but it sure got messy :-)

Was New Lira when i went about 2 year ago Get money from an ATM on arrival, better exchange rate

4 times in 5 months ... He'll never get to every country in the world at that rate :-)

Oooh I thought you well knew that unless you pay for the FT web site it is not available to anyone:winkold:

is it time for me to post my Drat and San Francisco gag again :-) $ rate has made America more expensive than it used to be , but give it a few more months and China owns it and maybe it will get cheap again I'm a New York fan have to admit been 4 times so far and never tire of the place , but as mentioned it really depends on what you like doing

funny enough he is on my authors too read list as Amazon recommended him to me based on my buying habits ...

Just started Alone in Berlin Worried it may be a tad heavy for holiday reading so I might switch to some lighter stuff for my travels and start it again when i get home ...

I know we've discussed this before but my friend at BAE still reckons the plane wasn't airworthy .. they fixed the airframe issues only to find the wing then needed a redesign .. the fuel pipe was suspect and I think he also said the landing gear was another disaster waiting to happen (this was a discussion down the pub where he said more than he should have but he is a fairly senior bod at BAE , not that it makes him correct but I think he has touch of being ITK ) Now i agree the scrapping and leaving a capability gap is barking ..more so as I can see us then going off and purchasing something off the Americans ... but the whole Nimrod thing is clearly not the MOD's finest moment
