Also been mentioned about very senior management arriving back at the hotel in a hotel having lost their mobile and their wallet and the hotel having to pay for the taxi they were in.

Do hat makers ever tell each other 'this time next year we'll be milliners'.

Only if they are as mad as a hatter. 

Lazy one this weekend. Chill night and reading up on some ways to invest some money

Lie in tomorrow then a few errands to run and probably a film or two tomorrow night

Sunday is usual chores and then I need to log on and do a few hours work . I don't want to come into it on Monday morning. 

Rock n roll hey!

Very reminiscent, the stench of death is upon them.

3 years ago it would have been Lescott, Gabby, Bacuna and Guzan doing that! 

We're bottom of the league - let's have a jolly in Spain! Pardew working miracles again. 

The indiscipline at the club is similar to us when we were circling the drain of the premier league a few years back.

Well, too much of it does send you blind.

I don't really buy into V Day, but we use it as an excuse to go for a nice meal.

Went to The Oak Room at Moor Hall (in our neck of the woods)

Decent grub but a very old fashioned restaurant. I think I violated their dress code as everyone was in shirt and tie and I rocked up in skinny jeans and loafers (the VT favourite ) and a long sleeved tee. Waiter gave me a very funny look.

So yeah, nice food but expensive and old fashioned.

I do like the Oak Room but i know what you mean, its very 'old school'. I used to go to the gym at Moor Hall. It's not bad, very quiet most night and afterwards you can venture to an oak panelled room and have a brandy while reading the Financial Times

You can only see their eyes so it's a bit risky. Don't know what you're buying. The auctioneer is giving a full description though. 

Edit : it can't be real. 

Sold as seen. No warranty given or implied.

Thriller is the more iconic album, but Bad had more good songs, imo.

Bad, The Way You Make Me Feel, Dirty Diana, Man in the Mirror, Smooth Criminal, Leave Me Alone, Liberian Girl were all on that album (amongst others)

I never class Leave Me Alone as a Bad album song as it never appeared on the cassette release, which is what I had! It still feels strange to hear it on there. It was only added on the CD release. 

9 of the 11 songs on Bad were singles, only Speed Demon (which I like) and Just Good Friends (which is a catchy 'filler' song) weren't. 

Man in the Mirror, Dirty Diana. The Way You Make Me Feel, Just Another Part of Me and Smooth Criminal are all epic. 

i love Thriller as well - Beat It and Billie Jean are both outstanding

So now theres a video doing the rounds of men auctioning women on the streets of London.  How the **** can this be allowed to happen? 

Is there a catalogue so I can choose one?

Why have I never seen a hearse filling up at a petrol station.

And I don’t mean on the way to a funeral with their client on board, I mean just generally.

A lot of the smaller funeral directors (one shop family business) will hire the hearses and limousines from a specialist hire company as it is not cost effective to own them - two new limos and a new hearse (which is the standard order) could cost north of £250k depending on marque/spec from the main suppliers (Wilcox/Coleman Milne). The specialist hirer will probably have their own fuel pump at their storage depot and supply the vehicles with a full tank. Add to this the average mileage is c3k-4k a year and you can see why you don't see many at mainstream petrol stations. 

Is that one for the boring thread?

Glad you are on board with my revolution. 

It wouldn't be a random cull of 20 million people, i'm not a monster! It would be means tested based on your contribution to society.

Seriously though, hope you are ok. I had an MRI and found it impossible to lie still for the 20 mins or so they needed!

In answer to your question, nope not really.

Or in other words, I'm spending my evening with a face full of cock meat*

Valentine's Day... anyone doing anything special?
