I accept your decision. It's 42 anyway. btw type "the answer to life, the universe and everything" into Google.and it does actually answer the question definitively. ------------------------------ T-Bone = Humorous (sp)

Stevo you'll learn to love it and one definite good thing is that people will start to refer to you as 'that short bloke with the beard' and not that short bloke with the gammy leg' any more. btw, I am starting to wonder if there's not something in all this positive energy that we exude through our follicles? Now then, how can we get the fairer sex to join in?

The jewel in the bellybutton of my collection has to be a copy of their first ever release, made in Hamburg (with Tony Sheridan) and a double A side. Side 1 - My Bonnie (yep, that My Bonnie) Side 2 - Oh, When The Saints (yep, THAT Oh, When The Saints). In 'used' condition and I don'e even own a record player! Might let it go one day as it's been in a box under the stairs for the past 3 + years. Another great rendition that I never tire of hearing: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AA9maAERDAs&feature=related John would always leave this one til the end of the set as it really tested his vocal chords, he gives it a truly unique edginess that none come near. It's also one of those records that when at a crappy party/wedding reception comes on and makes me want to throw a few shapes on the dance-floor. I only get up if I have had sufficient ale to not be in a fit state to walk let alone get in on.

have you seen this in a dream?

For those moments when all you need is love: apologies for ad at the begining post you favourite clips here. ..

Just watched a chap on graham norton playing 'always a woman', got me googl'ing. this was 1978, i found it quite mesmerising: then found this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7GyMfoAhksI&feature=related 2006. wish i'd gone to see him at the rose bowl now.

we have had a virtual freeze on recruitment for almost two years at my place, were just glad that not too many have left. hope no-one decides to leave over the next 12 months or so too, it could get very difficult very quickly imo.

47.

johnny, i have a lot of respect for you and you regularly make comments that make have a good old think about things. top man. my mate found a job and has never been happier, thanks for the advice you gave him. i have a limited knwledge of public sector management hierarchies, but without getting myself into very deep water, i can tell you that i am not alone in knowing where their HAVE TO BE savings. i have personally questioned the (imho) waste in the sheer numbers of management, and had a very stern phone call from the then director of social services. i know that i have been labelled (rightly perhaps) a 'troublemaker', but i have always challenged things that i believe to be unfair. re those managers can i ask a question? do you think that many of them would survive in the 'real world'? i cant possibly comment myself but i promise you that without exception, i would not change one member of staff who i currently work with. they are a great bunch and they do a sterling job. i could get you references from over 125 satisfied service users. i am worried that there are going to be a lot of innocent victims of this recession if they don't get more ruthless in cuts to the 'decision makers' who seem to take forever to give you an answer as to how they are 'developing the service'.

Does anyone else worry that this budhet s going to create a polarised north/south divide? we appear to have a lot of 'thatcher's children' in our midst, bless them, they just get 'it'. never mind, let's all have a nice cup of tea.

/\ good man.

who's still in? come on people, grow one for the lads, capello has let them vent their spleens and now they need us all to get behind them. they need us, we are the twelth man tomorrow.

sad news. very sad news. a true cult artist and very funny man. a bit mad but all the funniest comedians are imo.

Cough

/\ have some respect man!' [pssst- I'm playing 'hard to get, don't **** it up for me, I think the ice queen's heart is starting to melt]

It was great, I scored the winner and everyone voted me player of the night, we went for a beer and ended up in some shabeeem (sp) down st mary's way. On;y just got home, I thin I pulled something ...

Armpit (as in 'hairy' of the Nena, of the Eurovision winner type)

unwilling a word I anticipate using more and more over the coming months.

That is beautiful, I like that.

I thonk that is what the players delegation was about, just to make sure that Capello undertands 'how it works around here'. 'See what 'appened to the French geezer Gaffer?" "Nasty business that, press reckon the players didn't see eye to eye with 'im. If ya get my drift Gaffer" I particularly liked JT's handling of the Captaincy subject too. wtf does he think he is ffs? Just go and play football fcs, I don;t want to see your stupid face being interviewed again until you are arriving back at Heathrow, Trophy or not, please...

I'd fight shoulder to shoulder with anyone who does the same job as me to be entitled to the exact same rewards. If they are going to do our current cook's job then I would fight for them too. Anyone who has worked in a job where there is a two-tier pay scale, then I do not have to tell you how damaging this is to a workforce as a community. It is a devisive tactic in the case of public sector workers and 'they' know full well that to control people you first need to divide them. I really do have no problem with anyone not sharing my point of view and accept that I am both opinionated on this subject and I have a vested interest in this subject ie cuts to the public services. To simultaneously 'qualify' and 'out' myself, I work for Social Services....for my sins. Seriously anyone who is in favour of these 'leaked' plans, do one thing for me and my colleagues in the public sector before you get brainwashed into taking this lieing (sp) down. Have a chat with your oldest relative about the prospect of their services being cut, ask your disabled neighbourf who always askes you about the match because he can't get to the ground let alone pay for a ticket, ask the Polish taxi driver about any cuts to his kids education which ironically is supposed to be educating all of our kids to a level such that we might all one day enjoy being in a garden of a STATE RUN care home rather than staring at the same four walls of our privatised (read, cheapest we can get away with) care home - BUPA excepted of course. btw regarding BUPA, it's not a state secret who the surgeons who perform operations for them are actually the very same surgeon who operates on you and me. I only wish to clarify this point for any youngsters out there, perhaps low paid, perhaps working class. You may not be aware that one reason that we still have waiting lists is because we have to share them with those better off than us. Apparently we should be grateful as these companies pay a lot of money into the public purse which means we can build them even nicer shinier hospitals where they can maintain the status quo. Everyone's happy? Bloody capitalists, I **** 'em. hth ;-)
