alright dennis. long time no see.

hows the sunken lurve tub?

It's quality. Fancy a ruck after the game this weekend? Bring your crew to the Top End, if you dare.

oh yes! ewoks indeed! we have finally managed to get the interweb on endor and with the help of the rebel alliance we are entering the world of cyberspace and aal that jazz.

Sod off Wicket.

More facts than any reasonable person would want

And childish smut.

And some lovely puppies.

Some superb research into the life of our dear Queen CK, but her full name is in fact Mrs Elizabeth Babcock. Apart from that, hats off to you sir.

the csa dont leave me enough to buy the fish and chips never mind run a car !!!!!!

Humford woods it is then. Pack some Scotch eggs.

Welcome to sunny Northumberland Gareth, whereabouts have you moved to?

Ladies and Gentlemen, a secret agent, rock and roll chimpanzee in flares. Truly, that's what it's aal aboot.

Excellent. 'Thaz been a lot of allegations made, and a wanna knaa wee thu alligators are'.

How many do you need? Leicester is over flowing with them. seems like ten new ones pop up every day.

There is no such this as 'too many' takeaways'.

not that it's a fact, but i find it kinda magical...

YOUR AGE BY CHOCOLATE

1. First of all, pick the number of times a week that you would like to have chocolate

(more than once but less than 10)

2. Multiply this number by 2

3. Add 5

4. Multiply it by 50

5. If you have already had your birthday this year add 1756 .

If you haven't, add 1755.

6. Now subtract the four digit year that you were born.

You should have a three digit number.

The first digit of this was your original number

(i.e., how many times you want to have chocolate each week).

The next two numbers are

YOUR AGE!

well i thought it was clever!

Does it work with Scotch eggs?

I checked that link out Swalnalla its a prety grim picture when businesses are taking that kind of knock through the smoking ban.

In Ireland the smoking ban is suposed to be working or so they tell us, but I was talking to a fellow that had just come over from Dublin, he descibed it much the same there as your link shows. More and more people are buying a six pack and staying at home.

What next, will they stop pubs selling peanuts in case someone has an allergic reaction?

Personally gents, I would pile the kids into the car and drive the Northumberland Coastal Route; go through Beadnell, Craster etc for some good fresh air and some great views. Stop off at Seahouses for a whale end and chips (£3.50 per portion, economic and wholesome) then maybe finish off with a visit to Holy Island. A nice day out, a bit of fresh air, great history and some good bait. Spot on.

The american Abrams M1 Main Battle Tank uses 10 Galleons of fuel .... to warm up, before it can go anywhere . Slightly worse fuel economy than an average yank SUV

galleons?!?!

Christ, I thought my old car was thirsty.

Old joke.

You sure about the meaning of 'honeymoon' Denzel, it's all very vague but try hjunottsmanathr

Well I lifted it lock, stock and barrel from a 'fascinating facts' website; sounds good though. And mead is very tasty.

It was the accepted practice in Babylon 4,000 years ago that for a month after the wedding, the bride's father would supply his son-in law with all the mead he could drink. Mead is mad efrom honey, and because their calendar was lunar based, this period was called the "honey month", or what we know today as the "honeymoon".

Kangaroos cannot walk backwards.

92.3% of bald men have large tools

Well I'm in the minority; I have a socket set and a heatgun and that's about it.

Four - two!

The commonest owl found across the UK is the Teat Owl.

Since you aren't feeling the giant creme egg, how about some live action Simpsons?

An impressive piece of advertising in anyone's book.

You really are anti American Denzel, it shows....lol, but that's cool

Not at all, I thoroughly enjoyed my holiday in the US, and would heartily recommend it to anyone. If it's good enough for Bruce Springsteen, it's good enough for me.

Strange tastes in art.

I didn't say it was my particular taste, personally I'm more in favour of post-impressionism.

this thread needs ressurecting . i think its alot more interesting than stuff posted recently , i intend to use this factoid in conversation later .Anymore factoids?

Has the world really come to this?

The US & Canada instituted similar legislation some time ago, check some of the effects here. (Sorry Denzel, it's American )

I don't have any axe to grind with our cousins over the pond, what I object to is lazy cutting and pasting from US websites. American spellings? No thank you.

Above thirty, you qualify for full curmudgeon status. Below thirty, you are known as a cur, under twenty you are just a rotten kid!
