Morning Ricko.

How is the self contained garden in your flat?

Morning Tino it is lush and verdant thankyou, I will pass your regards to the gamekeeper...

Your ID card still work at work, and are you being talked about by hushed groups around the water cooler?

Why?

Using a massive scarifier, I clean out all the crap from the season and replace with new seed (50kg) and 2 tonnes of loam. I guess it is the equivalent of a spring clean, in autumn. Back breaking but rewarding.

I get so much sh*t when I walk through. The back office are alright, but the trading desks are a minefield.

I get everything from a friendly "who is the new boy" to a less friendly "oh great, c*ntface is back".

Kim is her usual bonny, happy self. She has brought in some homemade scones this morning so it was a good day to come in.

Wouldn't mind munching on her baps.

Thought I'd start the day as I mean to go on.

Missus's Birthday today. Nipped out and got her a pain au chocolat for breakfast.

Nice touch.

Sex tonight? With her, not me.

Very much doubt it. Probably cats getting a brush and the 10 o'clock news on the ipad prior to coma.

So if you wanted to extend the offer.....

seanmichaels wrote:So if you wanted to extend the offer.....

I'm happy to ask Kim for you.

I'm hardly here anymore so I'm not too bothered if she complains and I get sacked.

I'd do it for you. That's how much I care about you.

What an excellent thread split.

Should there be a comma after arachnids though?

It really is.

Probably not but I copied it straight from Wiki so may want to question them?

I'm glad you're on, I am going to Grimsby next week. Pyewipe. You know it?

Yes I know it, what on earth are you going there for?

Here you go kids, have a lyrics quiz to get the day started. There is an odd one out:

At work I just take time, And all through my coffee break time

When I heard your song, Filled my heart with your bliss, Gave me freedom

Toys and things that come by the dozen, That ain't nothin' but drug store lovin'

Man thinks about little bit of baby girls and a baby boys, Man make them happy

Woah Woman, oh woman, don't treat me so mean, You're the meanest old woman that I've ever seen.

Ray Charles, Hit The Road Jack

Very good Union, if you are answering for number five, otherwise it's quite a poor answer.

4 - Gary Glittter?

Union Cane wrote:Yes I know it, what on earth are you going there for?

Going to see a big chemical company up there. Not sure where they are exactly but somewhere there.

Moody Lane. Sounds a bit ominous.

You neglected to number them, but yes it is for number five.

I know number one as well (I have a happy hardcore remix on vinyl) but can't think of the name.

rick_dagless wrote:4 - Gary Glittter?

No Rick, did think it sounded a little Yewtree though.

That'll be Novartis or Tioxide then I should imagine. Are you staying overnight or getting in and out as quickly as possible?

on a more serious note

I think

1 is Aint Nobody but can not remember who sang it...

Say a little prayer for you...

Forever, and ever, deedoo deedoo deedooo

Something like that.

Novartis.

In and out. Or would you recommend an overnighter?

I am very much into my Motown at the moment. Hadn't realised Smokey Robinson wrote most of the tracks.

1 - Chaka Khan - aint nobody

Though did get the artist after singing it at the vaguely bemused lass who sits near me.

I'd recommend getting the hell out of there as soon as possible, unless Town are at home, you could pop along and watch some decent football.

Is the link Boxers?

1 is indeed Say A Little Prayer, is Aretha Franklin, not the happy hardcore artiste

2 is also Chaka Khan Ain't Nobody.

The link is not boxers Rick

Is it something to do with Motown? 3 is Otis Redding.

It's not about those black fighters you bang on about is it?

3 is Otis Redding Sean, the link is still not boxers.

I wouldn't watch Grimsby if they were playing in my back garden.

In that case I recommend that you stay over, go for a night out in Cleethorpes, and speak as loudly as you can to as many people as possible in that wonderful accent of yours. You will be welcomed warmly, I am sure.

If you do follow Union's advice Tina I would suggest you perhaps don't wear your cravat and blazer combination. Dial it down just a little would be my advice.

The link/odd one out is film related by the way.

Don't they like a scouse accent up that way? They don't down here either. I'm beginning to see a pattern.

I'm not even a real scouser.

Good advice.

Do you think a shirt and jumper combo, without the tie would be good?

Struggling to think of a scenario where a green on green Next combo doesn't work Tina.

Thanks Jeff. That's what I thought.

Knew I could rely on you to provide a pick me up.

Rowley wrote:The link/odd one out is film related by the way.

Is it anything to do with Star trek?

No Sean.

They are all black and cool and are able to play a musical instrument in both hands?

No LD, and there is an odd one out, the link/odd one out is still film related as well.

I haven't cheated but are quite a few of them in Blues Brothers?

Right, I have googled to check and I reckon Chaka Khan, Franklin and Charles are in the movie. Otis Redding isn't so in the absence of the last song I'm going him as the odd one out.

seanmichaels wrote:I haven't cheated but are quite a few of them in Blues Brothers?

Maybe they were all together in some film like the Blues Brothers? Except one of them? But why?

Well done Sean, Otis is indeed the only one not in the Blues Brothers. The final song is It's a Mans world by James Brown, who is also in the Blues Brothers.

I like JB, have a couple of albums on my phone.

Haven't seen Blues Brothers though, so was never going to get that.

You should watch the Blues Brothers Union, it is quality. I watched it over christmas with TSMR whilst I was drunk, she went to bed in a huff when I kept saying every other line. Contrary to my opinion at the time it was neither impressive or charming.
