I just wish I could JUMP RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF THEM!

I've never had a ring when i've sat on an urn.

Since I was born and my Daddy had a telescope, remarkable things they are, actually can see the craters on the Moon, see Venus!!!!!! Space is the one place i'd love to visit.

Great presentation there DSM, you able to er do a Rule 1 if ya catch me drift

If the rumour about him being dead is true then no he's not fit enough.

Sorry Seatbelt, VV Cephei kicks Antares a$s, you have failed whilst I celebrate my last minute win, and look, no Pluto VV Cephei is an eclipsing binary star system located in the constellation Cepheus, approximately 3,000 light years from Earth. A red supergiant fills the system's Roche lobe when closest to its companion blue star, the latter appearing to be on the main sequence. Matter flows from the red supergiant onto the blue companion. VV Cephei A, the supergiant, is one of the largest stars known, and believed the third largest star in this galaxy (after the hypergiant WOH G64). It is of spectral type M2 and is approximately 1,600–1,900 times the Sun's diameter. If placed in our solar system, the binary system would extend past the orbit of Jupiter and approach that of Saturn. VV Cephei is 275,000-575,000 times more luminous than the Sun. As is true for many red supergiants, a stellar wind flows off the system at a velocity of approximately 25 kilometers per second. VV Cephei A's mass estimated from its orbital motion is about 100 solar masses, but its luminosity suggests a mass 25-40 solar masses. Consequently, the actual mass is unknown. Yes, VY Canis Majoris (VY CMa) is the biggest.

So, I received this book and already it seems to be coming true. In the book I received, it said this Fall (autumn) would see the start of the demise of America, France, Italy, Germany, Japan & Britain.

Antares is at the upper left, the blue one is Rho Ophiuchi, down in the red is Sigma Scorpii. This picture shows an area around Antares. Antares is the brightest star in Scorpius. Given star's red-yellow color, and the fact that Mars is a similar color, Antares was given a name that means "The Rival of Mars." Antares is surrounded by a rare yellowish nebula. NGC6144 is the small globular cluster above center, while M4 is the large globular cluster on the lower right.

Oh, and it's 'Great' and not 'Graet' or 'Grate' for that matter.

Javi does still pop yes, spoke to him about a month ago and he was happy at the time.

Glad to hear your plumbing's fixed.

Nah, I think she should do the world a favour and top herself.

Go on, get on yer bike!

You can bleed radiators with keys, and with a name like Draino it makes me wonder just what he was REALLY doing.................

Yep, I tried looking for good deals on dead female bodies too, very disappointed.

Ok, let's all dance now TECHNO VIKING RULZ!

What problems are these?

Change this to the official bangers and mash thread. Post yer favourite bangers and mash. For those that don't know, Sausage and mash is an English/Irish dish made of potato and sausages, the latter of which may be one of a variety of flavoured sausage made of pork or beef with apple or tomato seasoning; or a Lincolnshire, or Cumberland sausage. The dish is usually served with a rich onion gravy. Although sometimes stated that the term "bangers" has its origins in World War II, the term was actually in use at least as far back as 1919.[1] This dish may, even when cooked at home, be thought of as an example of pub grub - relatively quick and easy to make in large quantities as well as being tasty and satisfying. More up-market varieties, with exotic sausages, are sold in gastropubs, as well as less exotic alternatives being available in regular pubs. Along with eel pie the dish has particular iconic significance in traditional London working-class dishes.

I like peeing on your threads

It's pretty safe this week, some peeps were even laughing yesterday :shock:

Speaking of which, Michael Jackson's just announced that he is to release a new album. The follow-up to Off the Wall, Bad, Dangerous and Smooth Criminal is entitled Well I Did Warn You.
