Why would the fact you're a moron upset me?

As an aside though another Move song, Flowers in the Rain was the first song ever played on Radio One.

That could and should have been posted on me remarkably unpopular Music anecdotes thread....

Sean, if the thread had been called useless music trivia it almost certainly would have been. I have any number of such facts I could amaze you good people with.

Hit me.

Happily, the first Spice Girls Single not to go to Number 1 was Stop, it was kept off top spot by Run DMC vs Jason Nevins - It's Like That.

I also admire the relaxed technique that Silje Norendal employs on the pistes.

Flipping heck, she is beautiful.

If Galted is reading this, he will have got a little chubby on. Not because of Ms Norendal, but more the rugged and practical coat she is sporting.

If it turns out she is sporting Hi-Tecs then he is on a plane to Russia

I'm wandering around in general - I can't remember where I work.

Stay away from the light Julius

Almost forgot Ina Meschik, a pioneer in the sport....

Val D'Isere or Verbiers. Can't remember which one from that shot.

 

Tee'd yourself up nicely.

Not sure I have ever been first on here in the morning. Feel a lot of pressure to be amusing or erudite, try and set the right tone for the day.

Sh*t the bed this morning, Jeff?

Well, I think you have nailed the tone for the day gents.

Rubbish on here today.

Hello Galted. Are you joining us for a full day?

Where the hell am I? Who are you people?

I am Spartacus.

Oh, you're Spartacus.

Possibly, Tino, though my throat is very sore so I'll probably go home once I've had a delicious chicken burrito. Thanks for noticing my absence on Friday, and apologies for me not noticing that it was you who noticed.

Medication worn off again Julius?

That's ok. A weaker man than me might have been upset but I got through it.

Were you off sick yesterday then? Or are you competing in the winter Olympics?

I was in Copenhagen for the weekend.  I'm not competing in the winter Olympics but I did watch a bit on tv.  I saw an interview with 3 Canadian sisters who came 1st, 2nd and 12th.  And an interview with some American snowboarding ret@rd.

I had a look through this thread when I got back and I did laugh a lot, the Culture Cup round 6 is far funnier than anything on tv.

Hvordan var København?

That poor girl who came 12th. She must be distraught.

Sorry, it's gone again. Who's Spartacus?

My name is JuliusHMarx. Welcome to 606v2.

I think it is mexican food from your local convenience store?

Today I'm going to buy a dag for rick. It concerns me that he goes around dagless in this day and age.

blodige fremragende tak, det er en af mine favorit byer

She was fitter than her sisters if I recall correctly so she probably wasn't too bothered. I was a bit michaelsed when I watched it though.

I'm married to a Canadian, they can be a right miserable old race.

Whisper it quietly, but I think Julius is having a breakdown.

I have been to Copenhagen Galted. Many years ago.

It's anecdotes such as that, that keep this place ticking over, Jeff.

A guy that works in the office here is just back today from a weekend in Copenhagen. Is it you, Galted?

Scrap that! The guy I'm talking is about has semi-decent taste in clothes.

It was an opening gambit Tina, was hoping for someone to ask the circumstances etc. Does not do to give too much away too early.

Nice weekend, super? Do anything on Saturday?

I would ask, but I'm not particularly interested.

Good, because it is not particularly interesting. However I was en route to Sweden where I stayed in a place called Bastad, which is vaguely amusing.

What were the circumstances?

Rowley wrote:where I stayed in a place called Bastad

Now we are talking. The interest level has cranked up significantly now.

Phenomenal cardiovascular levels.

Glad you asked Galted. The circumstances are a little weird. My mother sold a Rottweiler to a Swedish couple who stayed with us a few days when picking up the dog. I agreed to take them shopping round Sheffield and generally show them the sights. Dazzled by my rakish charm and interesting conversational skills they asked me to visit them at home in appreciation of my kindness. I agreed and went over for a couple of weeks.

We have got the Olympics on at the moment. They are doing some crazy skiing sh*t where they go down rails and ski backwards whilst flying off jumps. It's not real skiing, it is skateboarding on snow. Its b*llocks.

The women are staggering attractive though.

It is called slopestyle Windows. The men's and women's snowboard slopestyle was at the weekend. Very entertaining but the judging is as consistent and reliable as the BBBoC's.

I didn't ask Galted, I asked you.

@ Rowley - how was it that you ended up in Copenhagen?

@ superflyweight - sod you.

Someone called Anna Segal was just on.  She is quite nice but not even in the top 10 lookers I have seen this morning.

Standard is high.

Was it Agnetha Fältskog and Björn Ulvaeus by any chance?

@ Rowley - please ignore, just read your explanation. It was quite riveting and subtly amusing

@ superflyweight - the "sod you" still stands. I looked quite magnificent, even when one of my laces snapped.
