  1. What is Irish and stays out all night???????? Paddy O'Furniture. Boom………..Boom!
  2. The amount of 'help' being given to the purchaser............we should have bought the thing ourselves! Looks like the Co Op is being paid to take them over?
  3. Canny lass, Last thing anyone wants to do is make anyone feel uncomfortable and I would be the first to rail against anything I thought was Big Brother or too censorious, irrespective of Sym's opinion! I had to ask my question because I don't know what members see on the boards. As far as I was concerned everyone saw their warn status anyway……………? You did say you had them 'mentioned', I just wondered how they had been 'mentioned'. I presumed someone had contacted you about them, that was all.
  4. Lucky guy................ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MKBOWyiAhro
  5. It was always going to be madness........more political will than anything resembling sense! http://www.spiegel.de/international/world/london-and-the-2012-olympic-games-a-match-made-in-hell-a-844599.html
  6. Should have put this in good jokes maybe.......... WHO IS THE ODD MAN OUT - and more importantly - WHY?? Lord Stevenson: FORMER chairman, HBOS Sir Fred Goodwin: FORMER chief executive, RBS Andy Hornby: FORMER chief executive, HBOS Sir Tom McKillop: FORMER chairman, RBS John McFall MP: FORMER chairman of Treasury Select Committee Alastair Darling: FORMER Chancellor of the Exchequer Gordon Brown: FORMER Prime Minister and former Chancellor of the Exchequer Sir Terry Wogan: FORMER presenter of Radio 2's Breakfast Show IF you're thinking Sir Terry Wogan, then you're right. However, the reason may surprise you... Terry Wogan is the only one out of this motley crew who actually holdsANY formal banking qualification.
  7. I know one or two older members who had them but they were called by a different name, the warning points that is not the members but then again........
  8. Why the Germans CAN afford bailouts.............. http://www.ekathimerini.com/4dcgi/_w_articles_wsite2_1_17/07/2012_452438
  9. Just about exact Vic. He originally built it with a 1600 Ford x-flow under the bonnet but dragging around a Jag IRA was a bit much so he cut it in half lengthways and sideways and added metal so he could fit a V8! Mad as a box of spanners!
  10. Just a way of telling someone to moderate their behaviour or language without looking to be too heavy handed. As in life in general there are boundaries especially on an open Town web site…… I have been on some forums which hand these out like sweets and cancel membership for things like disagreeing with a mods politics, so this is a pretty relaxed site!
  11. Or maybe........... http://www.mcso.org/About/Sheriff.aspx
  12. Sorry Sym.......in future I will take a much more literal and word specific understanding from what you write..........
  13. Ahhhhhhh, the AI catch all censor still working then............
  14. How did you have them mentioned Canny lass?
  15. Don't think you want any Canny lass..................
  16. Interesting debate............start 10 mins in for anyone with stamina!
  17. http://blogs.telegraph.co.uk/news/danielhannan/100108749/printing-money-is-the-last-resort-of-desperate-governments-when-all-other-policies-have-failed/
  18. Sounds like this guy is switched on............ problem is when you get away from a FIAT system it gets harder to make the 'swaps' worthwhile or at least comparable. But then GGG's hyperinflation makes a FIAT system unrealistic anyway...........
  19. If there is an argument breaks out it will be like the fundamentalists in the Middle East…………entrenched positions with no chance of changing mind sets……..on either side! Re-opening pits is purely hypothetical at the moment and while everyone is entitled to their opinion it's not worth falling out about. Personally I suspect our coal reserves will form part of our future position as we try to be as energy independent as possible but again that has just come by e-mail from Nostradamus!
  20. This will soon get like a religious argument............................never between friends!!!!
  21. Eulogy to Frank Carson - it's the way I tell um The Grim Reaper came for me last night, and I beat him off with a vacuum cleaner. Talk about Dyson with death. A mate of mine recently admitted to being addicted to brake fluid. When I quizzed him on it he reckoned he could stop any time.... I went to the cemetery yesterday to lay some flowers on a grave. As I was standing there I noticed 4 grave diggers walking about with a coffin, 3 hours later and they're still walking about with it. I thought to myself, they've lost the plot!! My daughter asked me for a pet spider for her birthday, so I went to our local pet shop and they were £70!!! Blow this, I thought, I can get one cheaper off the web. I was at an ATM yesterday when a little old lady asked if I could check her balance, so I pushed her over. I start a new job in Seoul next week. I thought it was a good Korea move. I was driving this morning when I saw an AA van parked up. The driver was sobbing uncontrollably and looked very miserable. I thought to myself that guy's heading for a breakdown. Statistically, 6 out of 7 dwarves are not Happy. My neighbour knocked on my door at 2:30am this morning, can you believe that, 2:30am?! Luckily for him I was still up playing my Bagpipes. Paddy says "Mick, I'm thinking of buying a Labrador.” Sod that" says Mick "have you seen how many of their owners go blind?" I saw a poor old lady fall over today on the ice!! At least I presume she was poor - she only had £1.20 in her purse. I woke up last night to find the ghost of Gloria Gaynor standing at the foot of my bed. At first I was afraid.......then I was petrified. A wife says to her husband you're always pushing me around and talking behind my back. He says what do you expect? You're in a wheelchair. I was explaining to my wife last night that when you die you get reincarnated, but must come back as a different creature. She said I would like to come back as a cow. I said you're obviously not listening. The wife has been missing a week now. Police said to prepare for the worst. So I have been to the charity shop to get all her clothes back. When I was in the pub I heard a couple of plonkas saying that they wouldn't feel safe on an aircraft if they knew the pilot was a woman. What a pair of sexist pigs. I mean, it's not as if she'd have to reverse the bloomin thing. Local Police hunting the 'knitting needle nutter', who has stabbed six people in the village in the last 48 hours, believe the attacker could be following some kind of pattern. Bought some 'rocket salad' yesterday but it went off before I could eat it! A teddy bear is working on a building site. He goes for a tea break and when he returns he notices his pick has been stolen. The bear is angry and reports the theft to the foreman. The foreman grins at the bear and says "Oh, I forgot to tell you, today's the day the teddy bears have their picks nicked.” Just got back from my mate's funeral. He died after being hit on the head with a tennis ball. It was a lovely service.
  22. Wrong initial merc...... BTW, you were on full tilt last Thursday evening weren't you?
  23. I will get back to you on it Mr D.
  24. And............... http://www.ft.com/cms/s/0/33e1095c-84cd-11e1-b4f5-00144feab49a.html#axzz20UQCD3WQ
