Morning.

I'm not going back to bed...

Morning. Up already 4½ hrs ... and now waiting for the siesta :wink:

You an early bird, Walter...

... true, but since two months not really on my own will

Lots of problems, having to cope with aging relatives, I suppose..

Indeed.

Smorgsi... You made me laugh.


However, are you suffering from some form of senility, you know I'm concerned with all this repetition?


I'll not reel you in, it's much more fun bashing old Spendi!

...and you made me laugh too, mathos.

kiss kiss.

It did not make me laugh to discover the post which I entered earlier today, astounding in its wit, vivacity, erudition and scope, has been lost by the system.



Well done Alex McLeish from Barrhead and the Scottish team at Hampden Park.

and well done Les Bleus. They beat the Faroe Islands. Away in Torshavn.

Took the wife to do a little shopping in Manchester today.

I see the big wheel is still turning and raking in a few quid for the town council. Nice idea that, I wonder who the clever person was who first instigated the notion.


Called in the Mitre Hotel had a really nice steak and onion baguette apiece with salad, a few chips and a large pot of tea for two. £14..10. Not bad as prices go nowadays.

The Oyster Pub next door was doing a roaring trade, Rugby fans, St Helens,and Leeds. There was one fellow with a bald head {head and face painted yellow and R H I N O S in black marker pen across his forehead supping a pint of John Smiths Extra Smooth} I thought to myself, Christ, you'd just know he was from Yorkshire if he stepped out of a bloody flying saucer!

It was extremely busy as well, The Arndale was packed, tills opening and closing, bells ringing, money and credit cards flying about all over the place. I thought to myself, I bet Spendi isn't in any of these outlets!

There were hundreds and hundreds of youngsters dressed up in fancy pink clothes complete with cowboy hats (pink) going into the MEN Arena as well. No idea who or what they were going to see but they looked happy. Several barrow lads were pushing barrows about flogging fluffy toys and streamers, all in pink.. Any ideas anybody?


I had to go into Sale as well, have you seen the price of houses and property in general in that neck of the woods?

Be proud of

THE ENGLAND RUGBY TEAM

who have just defeated

FRANCE


A Good Final to look forward to.

Jason Robinson like Johnny Wilson was brilliant The team was great!

I dont understand all this nationalistic ****

the better team won

well done england

why should I be proud? I cost me ten quid.

Eeeeoow veerie noiyce Ethel. Eh what?


What a way to waste one's precious time. It's like an elaboration of those brightly coloured plastic trinkets they string across pram hoods.

Fancy being seen in public in the company of a lady. Goodness gracious me. No wonder the country is going to the dogs.

you obviously put more money on France that I did Spendieux

McFly

Whatever that is.

Non, le meilleur equipe etait lequel des Francaises, a mon avis.

But hey. Mais he...

Choses comme celui-ci, ce ne sont pas fini jusqu'au le chanson de la grasse madame, c'est tout.

Does that cost £200 Mac?

At price levels of that nature, given the cost of the pantomimes of flattery in such posh places, the steak had obviously been sliced off a beast which had been tethered in an industrial unit, force fed for the minimum possible number of weeks and pumped up with the wonders of modern pharmceuticals. Perhaps, at £14. 10 for the package you might give us a rundown on what the other £13.50 was for.

Obviously a large pot of tea only requires another pint of water and an extra tea-bag. (about 4 pee I think plus washing up).

The only outlet I can see is the hole in your pocket.
