I have tried not to like them but Tesco do some great 'Deals' using their vouchers, we just bought forty quids worth for £50 two days ago, bargain.

Good shout. Depending on your age I'd add. If you fancy reading Tommy Lawton's autobiog, you can have mine. If you need to ask or google Tommy Lawton, I would presume you won't enjoy it.

I personally fancy 'Turkish' but no-one else does. Gone through hundreds so far and none get the 100% vote which is required. Although I should add that in this house my opinion never counts for much so I'm assuming that 5 out of 6 will do if I am the objector. Something 'manly' I reckon, as has been pointed out, he is gonna be a big boy before long and we cannnot afford to scar him with a stupid name just cos he looks cute now. Won;t be long before the 'ahh he's done a poop' turn into 'f*** me, looks like we've had a horse in the garden'

/\ That was on CrimeWatch, I'm sure of it.

Just remembered about the Apple store 3 weeks ago. My sis was visiting and we went into the Apple store to play with the computers. When she decided that hse 'had to have one' I called my brother to see if his daughter (Uni) was about so she could get us the student discount, no joy as she was away. Went back in the store and asked if I could have a discount for being LG, only if I had proof we were told. The only ID I had was a driver's licence and my Unison card, which were not sufficient. I then proceeded to show them a photo on my phone of me with some clients from work at St Mary's and that clinched it..k'ching.

Why am I laughing at that? I am going to sit out back and have a beer to see if the chuckiling subsides.

Has he pulled? anyway; theo

Who was it on here that had a puppy they have sent to be trained as a gundog who we all helped to name? Wonder how the little fella's doing? btw, any suggestions to our recent addition must NOT refer to his colour. This is not my stipulation but someone else who worries about getting assaulted or arrested if shouting his name in public, please think on people, these are tense times what we live in.

He doesn't have any spots. Is the picture quality that bad or is it your eyesight mrs b? I just defended you honour on another thread btw. Don't thank me, not right now anyway. ;-)

Most famous person I have ever met in person, seemed nice. I was helping someone with their kiddies homework a while back and it was about the moon landing. What we did was print out the wiki page about Buzz and then the one about Neil Armstrong. The slant of his homework was 'what is the difference between being first man to walk on the moon and being the second man to walk on the moon?' Answer about 10 pages. He got an A.

I was living away in Kent at the time and had The Echo sent down regularly. I also remember it was a very cold winter and the murder happened in January. btw, just saw the other 2 links, very interesting that the radio shows from Ocean Sound' have been archived by the university. Interestingly there was another murder victim found on Romney Marsh (nearish to where I was living) around the same time iirc and he may also have been a cabbie.

Yep. There was a poor chap with mental health issues who got released just last year (iirc) after it was proven that he could not have committed the crime. If memory serves, he was questioned routinely and implied that it was him that did it. Police never properly coroborated his story and he went down for it. Foolish thing to do, granted, and a guilty man walks our streets, perhaps still is. And some people don't approve of the use of DNA and CCTV!

Crikey!! That's a pretty obscure link, on a Man U fan's site!! Although I heard it was a different part of his anatomy, but stand corrected as that chap sounds like he knew Dougie quite well. btw, what did you punch into google? I just searched the name to see and got loads of other dougie latter's.

Is it not true that if a price ends with 97p (ie £9.97) it is end of line and the retailer wants shot to clear shelf space for new lines? I often, to mrs h's embarrasment, ask for deals and it sometimes works. Usually we get extras like a camera we bought a while back, manager threw in a pac of Kodak photo paper and some blank DVD's. Then again last week I took an iron back to Robert Dyas which had packed up, it was sod's law that the receipt was only a couple of days past the 12 month guarantee. I very nicely asked the manager if he could offer me a discount if I bought a replacement from his shop there and then? Would not budge = sale lost = idiot manager.

Dougie Latter? That name has always stuck with me, no idea why though. Now, that was one case that the police never made all the details public, yet I can't be the only one who knew (or thought they did) about the unusual thing that had been done to him. Maybe it was just rumours but if true it would have surely led the investigatin in a certain diection.

My word Golden Balls, doesn't sound like much of a choice to me. Why not wait for an opening more local?

We have a new puppy in the house (pic below). He's a labrador dalmation cross and his parents were large so expecting him to follow suit. He needs a name. ??

Are you saying that you would 'put out' with me for £1.5 mi££ion? And take that back right now what you said about mrs btf you dirty rotten scoundrel. She is a lady.

Georgie, would you, as these youngsters call it, 'put out' for 1.5 million pounds?

Sorry Invicta my fellow Man of Kent, I have never set eyes on one of the Southend programmes, apologies for getting anyone's hopes up. It was a silly thing to say in response to your 'couldn't resist' comment. If I'd had one even my dear old Mum wouldn't get her grubby little hands on it. Am I forgiven?
