YESSS

Steve, that was EXACTLY three hours before I was conceived. I therefore think that my father, who was also an ardent Arsenal supporter, was in dire need of some comfort.

Then again, I think I would still have been on the way had Arsenal WON 3-2, as he was a randy old goat who would attempt to get up a frog if it stopped hopping.

(exigencies eh...how many cockerny gits 21 Jan 07 know that word?)

It means that they will play with their instruments as planned, unless an unexpected emergency arises which requires their immediate attendance, such as unruly Man U fans causing mayhem in a local pub, because they are not used to the effects of proper strength beer.

the referee btw was from that town on the Lincolnshire coast forever banned by a2k

Mr H Beacock (S****horpe)

This is dire.

This is the uttermost pits of conversational despair.

This is the worship of advertising hoardings.

And the meaning of Van de Saar's right hand flapping two inches to the left of where it should have flapped.

Yawn...

Mornin' everyone.

No snow here, Sarah. We haven't seen that stuff for ages, apart from various Christmas cards that arrived in December, that is.

Half an inch? I thought my sis said you'd all gone metric over there!

I usually get half an inch every day just walking the dog, but that's a whole other story.

<walks off singing....."When oi were a lad oi were so glad, to go out in thee daytoime......wiv me fork an' me bottle an' me cork, to 'elp out in thee haytoime........>

I had to look that one up.

Tossin' hay, one fine day I met young Lucy Bailey,
And I said my dear, "Are you often here", she said "Yes sir, twice daily"

I see you found the clean version, DP.

Here's the version I learned as a boy........

[size=7]Tossin' away upon the hay, I met young Lucy Bailey
I said "My dear, do you often come here?"
She said "Yes of course, twice daily....."[/size]

I understand they need a special shipment from Colombia to Davos for next weekend's World Economic Forum!
