I was going to get involved on the pitch talk, they didn't have a clue what they were talking about, but refrained. Have to explain that sh*t on a daily basis to every tom dick and harry who passes by and asks what I'm doing.

We have an old bloke who lives on the ground. Quite well to do but with very traditional views (racist). Was chatting to him last night and he was telling me how he'd been hanging out of his window trying to get a shot at pigeons eating his runner beans. I think it was an excuse for trying to get a shot at the waiters from the curry house in the village. They sit on the bench outside his back garden to call home. Winds him up a treat.

Butterbean and chorizo soup which was watery as a really watery soup, and a beef sandwich... 7/10

Afternoon...

you following the cricket

by **superflyweight** Thu 09 Jul 2015, 1:18 pm

Been shifting the holiday timber all week as have to slide myself into my wedding suit at the weekend.

Chicken salad (no dressing) and a coke zero followed up with some chewing gum.

I am indeed, but not getting much chance to at the moment sean...

Your Dundonian credentials are not holding up, especially after the "carrot" incident...

by **superflyweight** Thu 09 Jul 2015, 1:29 pm

I'd get my head kicked in if I went back there with this kind of chat.

Sh1t on here

Morning Shah (and potentially Tino)

by Rowley Fri 10 Jul 2015, 7:26 am

Morning rick, join in the budget thread. Richard littlejohn and Nigel Farage dropped in earlier but left as some of the views were a little too right wing for them.

by **rIck_dAgless** Fri 10 Jul 2015, 7:31 am

Ha, I reckon I will stay away from that Jeff but thanks for the heads up...

I assume toppy is throwing his weight around, which can only end badly...

Are we running a thread closure book again?

Morning

by Rowley Fri 10 Jul 2015, 7:37 am

HH is on, he makes top hat look slightly to the left of Tony Benn

by **rIck_dAgless** Fri 10 Jul 2015, 7:39 am

Blimey...

He will be trying to impose his right of droit du seigneur

by **superflyweight** Fri 10 Jul 2015, 8:14 am

I couldn't resist and have no doubt opened myself up to a world of pain when HH responds.

Morning chaps.

by **rIck_dAgless** Fri 10 Jul 2015, 8:19 am

Morning super, good luck with HH...

He does seem to have "views"

by **seanmichaels** Fri 10 Jul 2015, 8:47 am

Don't worry, I've michaelsed it.

Please Rick, keep it simple for me. All of my brain power is currently be used on the longest Kennedy book ever written. I can't be having to google stuff this early.

How is the book working out for you? Is it conspiricy central or balanced factually?

by Rowley Fri 10 Jul 2015, 9:23 am

It is good mate, it is written from the perspective of rebutting the various conspiracies. The writer is a lawyer so goes at it from the view of looking at the actual evidence from a sensible and logical perspective to see what theories it actually supports. The size aside (it is massive) it is extremely readable.

by **rIck_dAgless** Fri 10 Jul 2015, 9:36 am

Hmm

Sounds tempting, I like stuff with an actual balanced argument, and the Kennedy stuff piques my interest more than it should...

What is this tome entitled?

by Rowley Fri 10 Jul 2015, 9:56 am

Vincent Bugliosi Reclaiming History. Is a bit expensive now, but if you have a kindle I may be able to get it to you providing you have a reasonably flexible attitude to copywrite law.

by **rIck_dAgless** Fri 10 Jul 2015, 10:09 am

Thanks for the offer dear boy but I have no issue in paying full price for a weighty tome if it is worth the money, and as I trust your good taste (not in jazz though, never jazz) I will have a gander for it and pick it up.

by Rowley Fri 10 Jul 2015, 10:13 am

Just start with Miles Davis Kind of Blue Rick, you'll be a fully committed Jazz Cat within days.

Was gonna do an ashes themed lyrics quiz but this is more entertaining.

Bloke - Chris Franklin (to the tune of I'm a b1tch)

I hate the new age guys
I'm a chauvinist
I live on beer and pies
Tried to tell you,
But you look at me,
like maybe I'm an angel underneath
Haven't brushed me teeth.

Yesterday I lied
But all me mates
gave me a real good alibi
Thanks guys
I really went out drinking,
I told you I was at work
Don't ask me for commitment,
'Cause it's something I will shirk

I'm a bloke,
I'm an ocker
And I really love your knockers
I'm a labourer by day,
I pi55 up all me pay
Watching footy on TV
Just feed me more VB
Just pour my beer,
And get my smokes,
And go away

Or take me as I am
This may mean you'll
have to fetch another can
Rest assured,
That if I start to make you breakfast
I'm going to extremes
but tomorrow I'll get sh!tfaced,
and today won't mean a thing

I'm a bloke
I'm a yobbo,
and me best mate's name is Robbo
Winfield is me cigarrete
I dress in flanellette
Shearer's singlet that is blue
Throw in a few tattoos,
You know you wouldn't
Want me any other way

When you think
You've got me figured out
The season's already changing

I think it's cool
When I act like a tool
And my mates try to shave me

I'm a bloke,
I'm an ocker
And I really love your knockers
I'm a labourer by day,
I pi55 up all me pay
Watching footy on TV
Just feed me more VB
Just pour my beer,
And get my smokes,
And go away

I'm a bloke
I'm a yobbo,
and me best mate's name is Robbo
Winfield is me cigarrete
I dress in flanellette
Shearer's singlet that is blue
Throw in a few tattoos,
You know you wouldn't

I will stick to the literature recommendations for now Jeffers, but thanks...

Very flexible if you don't know your copyright from your copywriting.

by **seanmichaels** Fri 10 Jul 2015, 10:51 am

How did we all miss that one??

On other matters I asked Glen McGrath if he'd play for us this weekend. Turned me down unfortunately.

by Rowley Fri 10 Jul 2015, 11:05 am

Fair one Jules, was the thrill of trying to tempt a lawyer into my web of skullduggery that got me flustered.

by **rIck_dAgless** Fri 10 Jul 2015, 11:53 am

You will never see lawyers doing something dishonest Jeff...

...because they are so good at keeping it secret.

To think I made a special trip to the tennis boards to complement your punnery today....

Don't know why I bother sometimes...

Easy sean, how was the weekend?

by **seanmichaels** Mon 13 Jul 2015, 8:51 am

So so. We were beaten by 4pm on Saturday so had a bit of a session culminating in a night out. Walked back around 1ish and hit every tree along my road.

Beer festival yesterday. Had what was supposed to be an 8% cider but it tasted like water with a hint of apple juice. Barman assured me it was fine but switched it regardless. Reckon these 'festivals' are just a scam for selling off out of date stuff.

by **rIck_dAgless** Mon 13 Jul 2015, 9:21 am

Sounds like a fairly decent weekend to be fair sean...

I enjoy a good beer festival, maybe you are just becoming immune to alcohol?

by **seanmichaels** Mon 13 Jul 2015, 9:29 am

Spent too much money. Took £80 out and had £15 left Sunday morning. Just checked account and i bought 2 x £20 rounds on my card as well.

by **rIck_dAgless** Mon 13 Jul 2015, 10:53 am

So £105? That is about the price of a beer and a burger in the south is it not?

by **seanmichaels** Mon 13 Jul 2015, 11:04 am

No food. I vaguely remember drinking something orange from a very camp squashed wine glass.

by **seanmichaels** Mon 13 Jul 2015, 11:04 am

And I bought some bird a cocktail early on.

by **JuliusHMarx** Mon 13 Jul 2015, 11:05 am

In my garden yesterday was what looked like some sort of beetle - brown, about an inch long and with 5 white, saw-tooth like flashes on its side. What was it Tino?

by **seanmichaels** Mon 13 Jul 2015, 11:26 am

Wasp beetle

by **JuliusHMarx** Mon 13 Jul 2015, 11:39 am

No, not that.
It was shaped a bit like a Rhinoceros beetle but a duller brown with white spikes down each side.

No, I don't think so - pretty sure it was some sort of beetle.

Was it still moving? If so, has to be Paul or Ringo.

by **seanmichaels** Mon 13 Jul 2015, 1:51 pm

by Rowley Mon 13 Jul 2015, 2:22 pm

Might not be Paul if you believe one of the more fanciful conspiracy theories:

by **JuliusHMarx** Mon 13 Jul 2015, 2:32 pm

It wasn't Paul McCartney or a look-alike, it was a phucking beetle. Brown, with white saw-tooth shapes down its flanks, presumably to scare predators way. I'm not letting this one go. Tino, you're needed now more than ever.
