Thanks very much Izz. Youse a regular ray of sunshine. So what you doin on a thread like this?

also liked your sig line. I saw a girl in Cambridge once get out of a car and walk along a busy street with back of her dress tucked in her knickers. Fortunately no one told her.

(actually she discovered the wardrobe failure herself to much hilarity all round)

I once met a girl with her skirt stuck in her knickers.

So I released it for her, she had a long skirt, and blow me down if my nose didn't get fast on a pleat and when I looked up to ask her if it was satisfactory the skirt came up and there I was.

Stuck in the Middle with You. One of my favourite non Dylan songs. I wish he would sing it.

Jeez - that Izzie's a worry on this thread.

Relentlessly cheerful and upbeat - in this band of grouches - you'll just have to ask her to leave, go away, desist, piss off.....

yes slept well! All down to you missizz thanks. And just before nodded off I listened to some football. Dreamt Emile Heskey scored a late equaliser at Stamford Bridge to effectively give man U the premier league title. Of course it was only a dream. Off now to buy a newspaper.

Sorry to learn you dont sleep too well. All I can suggest is try thinking of an Avram Grant team talk, that should do the trick. Smile

Entirely my own fault. Overdid cycling and apres-bike refreshment. But hey was I tired last night! So why only 4 hours sleep? But it was a good day really.


Wasn't it the marathon yesterday Sunday? Do they have a cycling section?

You need Tiger balm to rub into those aching limbs! X

Of course I'm capable of giving an objective even handed account of a football match.

But I dont. I put on my ManU hat scarf red tinted specs and holler and shout. I dont see things objectively because I dont want to, I see them from ManU's viewpoint. Whats wrong with that? On what other occasions in life can you express naked bias? Its all part of the fun.

And did you hear Arsene Whinger on Radio 4 this morning? He hinted there was a conspiracy against Arsenal and when the reporter asked what he meant he said "I'm not going to comment on eet" and "you can work eeet out for yourself". Smile



The brain damaged clueless **** for brains barkers who forever knock Man U have no real idea Steve!

You stick to your guns son and be proud of the most consistent team in the country.

Any-body, anybody with common sense that is, and you won't find a china tea-cup of that in the whole bloody county of Yorkshire! (Trust me!
I've been there!) would know just how good Man U really are.

They have been bloody outstanding, just look at the goals scored and the goal difference!.

I bet we have a bigger goal difference than any team in bloody 'Gobbin Land' has scored.

Quality... Phew... Mind blowing ... Some of the football I have watched them play over the last twenty years and this current season especially has been terrific.

They have something special, something very special and it thrills the heart, body and soul to watch them show their expertise in such a fabulous manner week in and week out, season after season.

Of course, there is the odd bad day, a poor game by their particular standards especially.

But there isn't a team in the country fit to lick their bloody boots!

Arsenal have the makings of a good side, especially for cockney's, Bollock Brains was knocking Liverpool on this thread recently..

They are another 'Northern' Lancashire/Merseyside Team doing well, and I have more love for The St Louis Cardinals than I do them 'Scousers'
Raffa has been brilliant in view of the circumstances.

Watch out for them if they get the ownership and or management problems sorted out.

They beat Arsenal ...

End of bloody story isn't it.

They dont cycle in the marathon, but there are triathlon races including cycling and swimming see here

http://www.charitytriathlon.org.uk/event.php

(I am not taking part btw...far too old and I dont like getting wet)

Thanks for the tip on Tiger Balm. I thought it was something Tiger Woods might need. But courtesy of google I now know what it is and may well buy some.

Wishing everyone a good day.

edit again Rolling Eyes (((Smorgs))) - sorry to read about your friend. I have a good friend who had Breast Cancer - she's been on a long journey for the past couple of years and we've been walking beside her. She is a fortunate survivor. We do the Race For Life each year and walk side by side with 1000's of folk down here. Unfortunately this year I don't think I will be racing - but the walk continues for making other's aware and is one of the most inspirational events to see and be a part of. Hugging you girl. Hope you are k) x

That's no good Bt.

If it eases his pains it prevents, artificially, his body speaking to the gump it has up top.

Are you trying to knock him off or what?

Okay in London now, went to see St Pancreas new railway station yesterday, what a super duper conversion that is, and had a very nice meal last night, within walking distance of the brother's, quitre a lot of wine and good French cooking, and today we're going to the Russian exhibition.

Virgin Pendolino trains and West Coast Main Line, a travel experience you can't fault by the way.
We just walked from Euston to St P, had a butcher's, and then we didn't have to change trains on the Tube later. Another win-win situation.

Not at all. Sport is full of people taking injections and pills in order to play with an injury. Pain is the body's telegraph system. Ignore it at your peril. It's plain common-sense.

The body is an unimpeachable source of wisdom.
