What should I do?

Try asking a fresh produce forum or a professional green-grocer.

I'd just spit the pip carefully onto a sheet of toilet paper and hot leg it down to the Items to be Returned desk.
Make a bit of a scene there if you can.
Don't forget to take a photo of it beforehand though as you'll be needing that in court.

He is, along with my hero Steve Backshall.

Don't know who that is.

I do know that the awfully porsh bloke orf Bargain Hunt is doing it, and some woman, but I don't know who else.

Are we having a Strictly thread this year Tina? Got to say bit underwhelmed by the line up. Will obviously still be tuning in, but not many I am very excited about seeing.

Yeah, I will do one for old times sake. It will be worth it just to see how many times Sean and Scott comment despite having NEVER watched the show.

There are too many pop stars this year. Pixie Lott, the rather attractive one from The Saturdays and the chap from Blue. One is fair game but 3 of them?

He is one for us insect geeks. All round adventurer and arthropod expert.

My hero Tim Wannacott.

Am looking forward the post Bruce era, love the doddery old boy but should have been put out to grass about seven series ago. He could kill a joke more effectively than Sean kills a thread.

No Bruce = Not Watching

Agreed but I'm not sure the Winkleman/Daley combination works on the Saturday show. I would have like Du Beke to take over. He is rather amusing and also exactly how I picture Union looks like.

I am easy, anything to see the back of Bruce. I also find Winkleman strangely attractive.

Met her once.

Well, I didn't exactly meet her but she was standing in the door of a taxi on Oxford Street shouting after her friend.

That is like one of superfly's celebrity encounters/anecdotes. Top drawer stuff.

Not a fan of Winkelman, its something about the eyes, they are not right. She tries to hide it with that ridiculous fringe, but fails. Weird eyes. Weird.

Rowley wrote:That is like one of superfly's celebrity encounters/anecdotes. Top drawer stuff.

I can top that. I walked into the Disney store in Covent Garden one December a few years back and Richard Bacon held the door open for me.

Union Cane wrote:Not a fan of Winkelman, its something about the eyes, they are not right. She tries to hide it with that ridiculous fringe, but fails. Weird eyes. Weird.

Yeah. Her lips... (or did she have her labia transplanted horizontally onto her face?) seems a little overdone too.

I am feeling left out, have not had any celebrity encounters worth the name recently. Am going to a Weatherspoons in Rotherham tonight, so there is a good chance my barren spell could be about to end.

Poor old Jeff. He opens his heart about Claudia and you lot are all over her like vultures.

For all these many faults she does look absolutely filthy though, which makes up for a lot of little flaws.

I was once out for a walk and encountered Roy Keane walking his dog. He was shorter than I expected, but he had a kind of fearsome aura to him. Scary man.

I guess her hair does look lovely.

Hey Jeff, there was a big article in the SMH about the violence in Rotherham. Pakistani pimps and young girls getting kidnapped and slashed, etc.
Is it really that bad or have things been cleaned up a little? Take care of yourself tonight.

Thanks Tina, as you know I already preferred you to Rick, but there is now clear fresh air between the two of you. You would not be overselling it to say in terms of how well I like you both you are a figurative dot on the horizon to Rick.

Bog off Jeff...

Thanks for the concern LD, fortunately as a fat bearded middle aged bloke I am not a huge target for predatory child molesters.

Air your concerns on the offtopic section TLD, you are sure to get some reasoned and logical responses on there.

When I say I am not a huge target, obviously I am a huge target in terms of body mass but I am sure you know what I am driving at.

At least you'll never be as fat as Toppy.

Phew.

It was a slow news day here. Rotherham overtook Ukraine, Russia, Syria, Iraq, Somalia and Nigeria for a few hours.

By that big, fat, sweaty, loud-mouthed, know-all bloke in stars & stripes boxer shorts you mean?

Hmmm.... quite tempting isn't it?

It's...... got nothing..... on..... The Bronx though........

Do it...

rick_dagless wrote:Do it...

Do what?

OK. You kick off and I'll join in.

Tempting to give Jeff something to moderate...

Nothing really happening on the boxing boards despite ONETWO's best efforts...

Think your efforts would be wasted, is a general zero tolerance vibe on the off topic section at the minute, so suspect it would be deleted pretty sharpish.

Peter?

From what I have seen Jeff I don't think "effort" is needed.

We're down to discussing creepy vibes and car insurance in the Off Topic section... But for the few we carry on.

Jeff - can we see where this one goes? If it gets too heated then we can deal with it.

Outrageous. You're lucky I don't come down there and beat the sh1t out of you.

Whenever you are ready, old man.

Darnit, looks like we chose the wrong thread TLD, appears to be going off in the Joypad section of all places...

Fist.

That is just going out of your way to make the moderators job hard. Who can sensibly be expected to check in on a discussion about toys?

Morning all.

if you have ever played games online (I am going to say no) you would be amazed at the amount of teens, who have or wish to have, copulated with your mother, and everything is none-straight... Prime modding material.

Morning Jeff

Oh and thread split day...

Everyones favourite culture day...

Am going to treat that as a rhetorical question.

I had you down as a level 52 Warlock with a +4 staff of modding.

Good morning everyone

I've never done any of that weird wizardy stuff, I did play football online a few years ago but got sick of bring called a MF this and a MF that every time I won.

Union, you MF (money funster?)

Massey Ferguson have a lot to answer for.

Maybe it was Michael Flatley in tribute to Union's dazzling online footwork.
