Yeah he could - in the library, by the dictionary corner.

Never watched it, so no idea.

Although you could be tricking me. Is it a man?

It's the same one as on 8 out of 10 Cats Does Countdown.

Then no, I wouldn't finger Jimmy Carr.

Rick, Superfly. Am currently negotiating my departure date and not working my full notice. If this gets nasty can I trust you both to go all Johnny Cochrane on their asses?

Shouldn't you get the opinion of some real lawyers as well?

by Rowley Thu 20 Aug 2015, 8:58 am

How very dare you Tina. Rick works in Bradford, you heard me, Bradford. I know you have lived down south a while, but in case you have forgotten Bradford is the epicentre of the legal profession.

Superfly is more a support role. Nothing against him but being based in Scotland his speciality is obviously drink driving and assault but am sure he can provide vital admin support to Rick.

What are the positions? You obviously want to leave now. Them?

No worries Jeff, I will help where I can dear boy...

Tino f*ck you, if you ever bring charges against your 3 year old for GBH, don't come limping to me.

by Mind the windows Tino. Thu 20 Aug 2015, 9:05 am

Jeff, you can use your redundancy money to put down a deposit on the themed restaurant we plan on opening?

I have two major concerns about this unfortunate situation.

Firstly, will there now be an influx of Shah's lot? Will the Home Counties turn into an ISIS stronghold?

And secondly, you will now have my email address but I won't have yours. That is reverse stalking in action and something I find deeply uncomfortable.

by Rowley Thu 20 Aug 2015, 9:06 am

Waiting to hear Sean, meant to be on three months. Have basically said I don't want to do that, am waiting for their suggestion.

by **seanmichaels** Thu 20 Aug 2015, 9:13 am

The ex saw a lawyer yesterday about her work. My mates already call her 'no win no fee' after the last episode. Guess it didn't go well as she was an absolute tw@t last night culminating with 'accidentily' dropping an iron griddle pan on to my bare foot. I'm walking like I have polio today....

She sounds great. Sign her up for the Australian cricket team. After she's made the flapjacks.

I was also at a solicitor's office today... twice. First to sign, then hand delivered docs to court... then dropped stamped docs back to him.
Top bloke - his law firm's name is an acronym for a latin word (phrase in English). The logo says it all. Hoping he can blast my opponent out of the water... but not too hard. Need some money back. Or else the unit by the sea will be the next target.

Oh, and good evening folks! Or good moaning if it suits.

See the Aussies are whingeing about the pitches. I am a bit uncomfortable with it especially if they are being doctored to the extent of the groundstaff putting covers on when the sun comes out.

Being in the business though, I know in July things were very dry and had been for a long time. We had 3 home games in a row and took something like a combined 8 wickets in total over those games. Since then I've been able to keep things a bit greener and there has been more life. I think I would struggle to produce a straw coloured dry track now even with covers coming on and off 24/7. The weather is dank, and there hasn't really been a drying wind.

Good. They can whinge all they like. I'll be happy with no less than 4-1. England thoroughly deserve to smash them again.
The last two (and the 1st) performances were diabolically poor.

Luckily our chicks did well. And the robotics football world cup victory - against some German university no less. I'm so thrilled!
Sean, did you see Ellyse's goal against Sweden? https://vimeo.com/70318668

Things are very dry here too for the moment. No rain (well... 0.3mm) in August so far.
Going to be mid 20s tomorrow. A taste of spring in late winter.

LD, did you see the story about the women in Perth (I think) who died from a snake bite?

I did indeed Tino. A pity she carked it.
This is a dangerous of time of the year when they finish hibernation and look for some sun.
If I see what looks like an old belt (or part of a burst tyre) lying in the grass... I wouldn't be kicking it too soon. See if it hisses first.

A bit Eric Carmen on here this morning. All out for 99 on this wicket and those evil looking clouds. (that is not a reverse hex by the way)

What about that kid who got bitten by a shark in spain? Not as bad as the chap who had his battered sausage knicked by a seagull mind.....

Gonna have to guess that is Jeremy Corbyn, Sean. But I can only guess that assuming you think the woman in the middle is hot as I have no idea who the fella is.
