    Ideas and possibilities for 2007

    I can imagine that Mr Pessotto disagrees with that assessment. regards, Hein These Italians are always taking a dive. It's a big part of their game. I wonder if he's been dropped? PS Is this where the expression 'jumpers for goalposts' comes from?

    Ideas and possibilities for 2007

    That's news to me. I thought both were long gone. Well, there you go - you learn something every day.............and then you die. PS Any news on Robert Dougall & Reggie Bosanquet? Wellll Old Robbie Dougal joined the choir invisible in 1999, and that wild man of news Reggie Bosanquet copped it way back in 84. Its been ages since leonard parkin died so I just think that theres got to be an old nersreader on the verge. And with Kenny Kendall being 82 & Richie B 81 they could cop it soon... Thanks for clearing that up, Steve. Reggie B was certainly the enfant terrible of ITN. Always liked his erm, strident approach to news-reading. Can't believe he's been gone that long. I actually miss him (in a small kind of way).

    People I Was Surprised To Find Are Still Alive

    The larger than life (yes he really is that large) former Rochdale MP Cyril Smith. I assumed he had left us long ago, but apparently not. Out of interest, has he ever appeared on the list? Cyril Smith 1928-??
  8. Hmmm. Don't know about that. Here's mine: 'You think money and love are equally important. You have an interest in many things in life, and work hard to ensure that you maintain a healthy balance between work, play and love. However, you tend to be unable to decide what you really want to do with your life. You wouldn't dream of leaving your loved one for one or two million dollars, but you would have to reconsider if the offer rose to 100 million dollars.' Hmmm. That's actually pretty accurate. Except the bit about the money; 10 million would be more than adequate.
  9. Came across this blog on another forum. Thought I'd share it with you lot. Apologies if it's been posted elsewhere on the site. Basically, it's about this guy (Amir) from Barnet who has sold a laptop to this guy (imaginitively known as Laptopguy!) through eBay and the laptop is bollocks. Laptopguy wants his money back but Amir, as it turns out, is a scammer with a bit of previous who refuses to do the decent thing and even pretends to have moved to Dubai but is actually working in a down-market burger bar in Earl's Court. Amir, who is not the sharpest tool in the box, had forgotten to delete his hard drive and Laptopguy finds loads of, ahem, stuff on the aforementioned laptop and decides to exact revenge on the hapless Amir by setting up the blog to shame Amir into giving the money back. Laptopguy then posts some of the images onto the blog and invites comments from anyone looking in. The result is cyber train wreck cum lynching. Laptopguy informs Amir of the blog and Amir and his friends and relatives join the great debate. The result is hilarious. The link for the blog is here. Once you've read the history click onto the link at the bottom (www.tofangsazan-the.blogspot.com) and then click onto 'I'll do it so laptopguy doesn't have to' (someone else is running it now as Laptopguy is sitting his exams) for all the comments. In the space of five days it's had over half a million hits all over the world. Enjoy! PS Near the bottom of the comments page you'll find The Deathlist's Tartarus has left his calling card (It started out as a sonnet but went somewhere else).
  10. Good one Tartarus! I'm terminally bored. Also thoroughly enjoying this game! May I suggest, to those of you with an addictive personality, that you don't try this activity! 28 seconds is my record (I get up early and practice!). My best is only 4 seconds. Better get some practice in. The kids won't be eating tomorrow! Never mind the kids, my cat is getting awful thin.

  12. For the terminally bored: Escapa Click and hold the red square. Now, move it so that you neither touch the walls nor get hit by any of the blue blocks. If you make it to 18 seconds, you are doing brilliantly (apparently). US fighter pilots are expected to be able to do stuff like this for at least 2 hours. Perhaps this would prove more useful in an air-battle type scenario.

    Funereal Music

    My friend's uncle had Gloria Gaynor's 'I Will Survive' played at his recent funeral; his favourite song by all accounts. The irony was lost on most of the mourners I suspect.
