Too true, he does get quite pug-nacious at times doesn't he.

This season has gone at lightning speed already hasn't it! It seems like only yesterday we were getting excited about the Millwall game and now we are a tenth of the way in. So much seems to have happened and yet so little appears to have changed.

I was at Heathrow the day that Fatima was arrested by customs officers for having 10 pounds of crack down her knickers.

Mmmm ?????? Something not quite right in this little story Nick. As I used to say to my first wife, it's on the tip of my tongue but I can't quite put my finger on it.

I had an Uncle who once played for Red Star Belgrade. I miss Mike Osman too.

I used to call my first wife 'my treasure', wnehever I took her out people would say' where the fuc dya dig that up?'

4-0 Hat-trick for Lambert

Don't worry SL, I found some just like the ones I grew up with, these but darker: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/stair-rods-copper_W0QQitemZ160356919091QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_Antiques_Architecural_RL?hash=item2556046733&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14 Actually, if you have a look on E-Bay, there are loads, and the old ones are very good value. There is one set made of oak. Oak ffs, I would love some oak stair rods. If I had a house with two staircases, I would deffo have a set of oak ones on one of them. Gorgeous.

Sorry SL, I got excited. Have you ever come across the type/design that we had in our army house? There was one at either end of the riser (see, I've done my homework) they were made of a dark grey (almost black) metal and I think.

stfu. what does that one mean? On a side note, i just noticed my new avatar, and don't tell that blokes girlfriend, but it looks... well er.... a bit wonky to me. Thoughts?

I very much doubt it, as the ones that I speak of getting me going, were de rigeuer on army estates. I would not be surprised to find that they were a meld of captured German stormtroopers helmets. On a serious note, one of our future projects is to do up the hall, stairs and landing, maybe the study area too. Brass stair rods are now top of my shopping list.

On other forums there are probably fans enthusing at the prospect of them both joining their team. Strange thing 'motivation', I understand that they lack it now so I would rather we let them both go as soon as, otherwise it could upset the fine balance of our new developing squad. Like everything they have done for us, but 'new broom' and all hat...

Rule 1 is there is no Rule 1. hth

Their functional purpose is to hold the carpet into the recessed part of the steps. The real attraction is that they combine practicality (and conform to modern H&S regs) with elegant beuaty. I really like the actual brass rod ones, like these: Although technically they may be considered brass bars not rods. Due to the ones I grew up with being the side hinged two piece affairs, I would have to put them at number one of my stair rod chart. Obviously I accept that others have their own favourite styles for their own personal reason, but as I say for me it is the hinged type. I can't find a picture of any, that is how rare they are, what more can I say, that is how rare they are.

I came home from work the other day and said to Mrs h "Quick, pass me my slippers and turn the TV on, before it starts" "before what starts" she said, turning on the TV. "Quick, pass me the remote before it starts" I said as I slipped my tired feet into my new (ASDA - £3.99) slippers Passing the remote she said "Mr h, before WHAT starts?" Run and get me a guinness from the fridge will you darling, before it starts" She returned, can of Guinness in hand. "Now tell me, before WHAT starts?" "Not in the can darling, I wanted it in a glass, I should have been more clear, there's a dear. Hurry though, before it starts" She fixed me with one of 'those' looks, banged the can of guinness down on the coffe table, turned the TV off and stood right in front of me. "You walk in, no kiss, no 'how's your day been', ordering me about, fetch this, fetch that, get me a ****ing beer, get me a ****ing glass. Who the hell do you think you are? I ain't your slave Mr h, I ain't your ****ing slave you know" "It's started" I thought to myself.

I came down this morning and found Mrs h sat at the breakfast table, staring at a carton of grapefruit juice. "wtf are you doing Mrs h " I said "It say's 'concentrate' on the carton, that's what I'm doing Mr h, that is what I am doing"

Nick, could you not convince her to wait another week, there are some rather unsavoury characters out there at this time of year mate.

People who shoot down the inside lane s/bound and cut in just before the winchester road roundabout. utter so-n-so's. The council should put a "GET IN ****ING LANE NOW, YOU ******S!!!!!" sign about half a mile back from there and shoot anyone not complying, I would apply for the job of manning the gun-tower.

Blimey, you're showing your age their ESB (is it still on?). I do though like to think that someone is taking the pee out of Pompey.

Thoughts eh? Are you Kayne McGlaggon?

Spurs have a physio named Cassie, who you certainly would not confuse with killer I can assure you of that.

that's it, followed by lalalala, lalala, lala. if memeory serves me right. And the other one was 'we are white, we are red, we are mental in the 'ead, lalalala, lalala, lala. Were they to the tune This old man, ala: but with a bit more ooomph

How did that 'We are white, we are red........' one go? And the 'We are red, we are white....' one too?

Paint praps? I ain't no expert, but paintings are usually made using paint aren't they?

Tell her that hamster likes it, likes it a lot.
