Saint in Paradise

I notice Alpine was too modest to mention that he has also left Hampshire

Only slightly off topic but seeing how people have reacted to this CERN situation is a very good reason why alien encounters are kept as quiet as possible by all Govts.

Will the UK side with the US or Pakistan though ? Lots and lots of Pakistan people have lived for a long time in the UK.

At least everyone seems to think that Saints will still be around to celebrate 125 years THis makes a pleasant change from all the doom and gloom a few weeks ago re administration.

According to The Echo only 12 people turned up at a meeting called to discuss ways to fight the potential closure of the Ford factory. http://www.dailyecho.co.uk/news/3668012.Ford_staff_meet_to_discuss_how_to_fight_for_the_future_of_plant/

Not quite true anymore I think, people now make sure that their faces are well covered so that the obvious cameras can't provide identification.

I agree and also would like to point out that a few months ago I asked Teddy Nutkins to post more of his Down the Dell stories and an Admin chap said he would organise it. No names, no pack drill

That poor woman, that is even worse than this case here in NZ A judge has reserved his decision over whether an Iraqi refugee convicted of raping a schoolgirl should be deported. The man was released from prison in May last year after serving a sentence for raping the Lower Hutt girl. In the High Court in Wellington yesterday the lawyer for the Lower Hutt man said his life would be in danger if he returned to Iraq . But Immigration Department lawyer Ian Carter said the man's son had been sent back to Iraq to live. "Whatever the dangers in Iraq , the family evidently assessed them as less for the son than living in Naenae." Justice Ron Young said the conditions that had made the man a refugee had changed with the new Iraqi regime.

I am pleased to announce that the house passed inspection :D

Which end of my monitor should I lift and how high so I get an idea of how steep the hill is ? The one you mentioned on page 1 that is. :D

An interesting development or just a publicity stunt do you think ? http://www.blackbottom.com/watch.php?v=WdBJd9b9i8A Link might not last very long as another young man is claiming to be the father of the child that Palins daughter is expecting.

St K after reading your last 3 posts may I ask if you are somewhat intoxicated ?

Oh hell yes I have looked around twice and just finished putting the vac away

Hi all, well my 5 weeks holiday is just about over as management is returning from her holiday in the UK, sympathy would be welcome

Barton is so lucky compared with this young man on loan from Chelsea at Maclarens team in Holland. This chap got a One Year ban. http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/teams/c/chelsea/7600907.stm

I dislike hooped shirts and prefer blue to green

Perhaps it was done to show what you would see as it overtakes the vehicle you are in ?

I couldn't say it better myself although I have never seen MLT in play live, only on TV

I hope that none of you who click onto that Pomey site now end up with a nasty trojan or keylog thing.

Ponty, please change the title then, I am unable to do so

A man who just died is delivered to a local mortuary wearing an expensive, expertly tailored black suit. The female blonde mortician asks the deceased's wife how she would like the body dressed. She points out that the man does look good in the black suit he is already wearing. The widow, however, says that she always thought her husband looked his best in blue, and that she wants him in a blue suit. She gives the blonde mortician a blank check and says, 'I don't care what it costs, but please have my husband in a blue suit for the viewing.' The woman returns the next day for the wake. To her delight, she finds her husband dressed in a gorgeous blue suit with a subtle chalk stripe; the suit fits him perfectly. She says to the mortician , 'Whatever this cost, I'm very satisfied. You did an excellent job and I' m very grateful. How much did you spend?' To her astonishment, the blonde mortician presents her with the blank check. 'There's no charge,' she says. 'No, really, I must compensate you for the cost of that exquisite blue suit!' she says. 'Honestly, ma'am,' the blonde says, 'it cost nothing. You see, a deceased gentleman of about your husband's size was brought in shortly after you left yesterday, and he was wearing an attractive blue suit. I asked his wife if she minded him going to his grave wearing a black suit instead, and she said it made no difference as long as he looked nice.' 'So I just switched the heads.'

Get the thermostat checked Jill, it might only be that simple a fault. One of our fridges is now 17 years old and we recently had that problem, much cheaper than a new fridge.
