  1. I can remember being sent to the shop with a note from my Grandma for her tabs. This was perfectly acceptable as long as your pocket was zipped up and you went straight back with them.
  2. No, neither did mine. I think as it went viral they gave up sending them out.
  3. Dependent on speeds you already have on ADSL and the fair usage policy you tend to pay about £15-£20 for up to 20Mbps with uncapped usage so it's not too bad. I had the opportunity for it but went with Be* initially and will probably go infinity in August when my contract is up. Thought I would let BT get rid of any teething issues which they would inevitably have (or not as the case may be).
  4. You managed to get the desks figured out then John, rather you than me I can confirm that what John says is true and it is looking really good inside, the cuppa maker must have been busy when I was there though
  5. Alot of people can't get away with Bjork and think she is a bit mental. I really like her music and this cover performed by swedish singer Ane Brun is an amaaaaaaazing cover.
  6. [spoiler[Asparagus and some other one

  8. John, it is rather simple thanks to the innovative forum software the Bedlington.co.uk site is using.
  9. Been tempted to try this place as have heard good reviews but never got round to it yet.
  10. A friend was driving up the A19 towards Moor Farm roundabout and saw something in the sky tonight. He described it as a big bright light over Cramlington and he first thought it could be a comet or a plane had exploded in the sky. It was hurtling towards the ground at a faster speed than what a plane could be travelling and then it disappeared behind a cloud. Some people may seek reassurance in the fact that if it was a UFO that they were coming down from the sky and were not raising from the ground but he's a very skeptical person most of the time and was amazed by what he saw. Anyone see anything tonight or know of anything going on? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lqvwxvCOSH4
  11. I wouldn't have thought Ludovico Einaudi for the soundtrack to a messi compilation. Awe inspiring player and so exciting to watch.
  12. belated merry christmas and happy new year to everyone. Been very hectic but thoroughly enjoyed it.
  13. more to the point the whitewalls were most commonly used in the 1920's so you're definitely showing your age!!
  14. Not youtube but amazing video all the same. http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=69c_1324490734
  15. How lucky is Steve Bruce? He lost his job on last day of November knowing on the first day of December all department stores are looking for a fat with experience of wearing red & white!!
  16. *A Cow based Economics Lesson; SOCIALISM You have 2 cows. You give one to your neighbor. COMMUNISM You have 2 cows. The State takes both and gives you some milk. FASCISM You have 2 cows. The State takes both and sells you some milk. NAZISM You have 2 cows. The State takes both and shoots you. BUREAUCRATISM You have 2 cows. The State takes both, shoots one, milks the other, and then throws the milk away. TRADITIONAL CAPITALISM You have two cows. You sell one and buy a bull. Your herd multiplies, and the economy grows. You sell them and retire on the income. ROYAL BANK OF SCOTLAND (VENTURE) CAPITALISM You have two cows. You sell three of them to your publicly listed company, using letters of credit opened by your brother-in-law at the bank, then execute a debt/equity swap with an associated general offer so that you get all four cows back, with a tax exemption for five cows. The milk rights of the six cows are transferred via an intermediary to a Cayman Island Company secretly owned by the majority shareholder who sells the rights to all seven cows back to your listed company. The annual report says the company owns eight cows, with an option on one more. You sell one cow to buy a new president of the United States , leaving you with nine cows. No balance sheet provided with the release. The public then buys your bull. SURREALISM You have two giraffes. The government requires you to take harmonica lessons. AN AMERICAN CORPORATION You have two cows. You sell one, and force the other to produce the milk of four cows. Later, you hire a consultant to analyze why the cow has dropped dead. A FRENCH CORPORATION You have two cows. You go on strike, organize a riot, and block the roads, because you want three cows. A JAPANESE CORPORATION You have two cows. You redesign them so they are one-tenth the size of an ordinary cow and produce twenty times the milk. You then create a clever cow cartoon image called a Cowkimona and market it worldwide. AN ITALIAN CORPORATION You have two cows, but you don't know where they are. You decide to have lunch. A SWISS CORPORATION You have 5000 cows. None of them belong to you. You charge the owners for storing them. A CHINESE CORPORATION You have two cows. You have 300 people milking them. You claim that you have full employment, and high bovine productivity. You arrest the newsman who reported the real situation. AN INDIAN CORPORATION You have two cows. You worship them. A BRITISH CORPORATION You have two cows. Both are mad. AN IRAQI CORPORATION Everyone thinks you have lots of cows. You tell them that you have none. No-one believes you, so they bomb the ** out of you and invade your country. You still have no cows, but at least you are now a Democracy. AN AUSTRALIAN CORPORATION You have two cows. Business seems pretty good. You close the office and go for a few beers to celebrate. A NEW ZEALAND CORPORATION You have two cows. The one on the left looks very attractive. *edit: would seem it was posted 3 years ago (except RBS was replaced with ENRON) still funny tho!
  17. Was totally shocked after hearing this earlier. He was on football focus yesterday as well. He was doing wonders for the welsh team too. R.I.P
  18. Today I stopped in to visit my dyslexic friend. He was busy covering his penis with black shoe polish. I said to him "You idiot! You are supposed to turn your clock back!"
  19. My wife told me to get our ginger son ready for his first day at school.So I punched him in the face and stole his dinner money.
  20. My girlfriend said she was leaving me due to my obsession with the 60's group The Monkees. I thought she was joking........And then I saw her face
  21. Sir Paul McCartney has said his new marrage is already having problems Apparently Nancy spends twice as much on shoes as heather did
