So, I bowled a wide today that pitched on middle stump.... Shane Warne? Who the heck is that?! lol :lol:

I also find it crazy that as my Sunday ends, it's only just beginning for some.

Sorry to put a dampener on your spinning prowess, but it's called a divot. :-)

Or bowled from 4 foot to the left of the stumps lol

Flat as a board

I love the taste of humble pie, though I prefer humble crumble.
Go Monty!

Am I really knitting a jumper for a mug? Yes, apparently so!

You know you're tired when you wake up in the exact same position you last remember being in bed.

Up at 4.30 for a 6.45am gym session, off to work, training at 5pm, out for dinner and a game of indoor soccer (football for you English) at 9.45pm and I am ruined after getting up at 5am today....

I need a coffee IV today, can anyone sort that for me?

My secret Santa has shipped my present to me. I'm quite excited to find out what I'm going to get. Apart from a few messages to me I don't know this person.

If you don't hear from me in a few days it's probably anthrax.

Only 13 hrs have passed. A little early to uncork the celebratory champers.

Soccer? :nope::nope::nope:

starting to get really really cold !

mr springsteen is playing where i saw my first ever meat loaf gig

she's mot'd and taxed :D

mine's MOT'd now and my wallet is £300 lighter

wish mine was £300 lighter lol

mr chair has suffered the most though

you can add £120 of parts I supplied to that figure

Ouch! Could have had Ash's for £410 :P

Two too many wheels for me lol

No Santa hat? Poor

tonights top tip... make sure you have suitable new coolant, before removing the old coolant :oops:

RAF have approved my application and passed it onto the local AFCO. Will have an assessment test within the next 14 days!

Good luck!

Congrats and good luck for the rest of the process

Cheers guys. With it being Christmas can't get a test until january 17th. Nut that pleases me as my fitness wil be 110% by then!

:twisted: Just step back from the mince pies over the festive season :mrgreen:

Hope all goes well :up:

It's officially Christmas - R's got the fanclub snow out! :))

Good luck!! If you are posted to High Wycombe I'll buy you a drink!!

And mulled wine......

:twisted: I've officially seen the cutest xmas deckie EVER!

It's not right for a grown man to get this excited over a decoration you put out once a year :bleh:

What's a deckie? :wtf:

Decoration I'm guessing?

workin in the city centre tomorrow... rediculously early start time... and public transport to cope with :shock:

Is there a more bizarre draw for an event than the one for the Rugby World Cup?
Why make a draw for a huge global sporting contest that still has 40% of its places to be filled but, more incredulously, is for a competition that will not take place until 2015?

My gift was not Anthrax!

Got an amzing hoodie, with Eat. Sleep. Flying. Printed on it. Useful as I'm off to Denver tomorrow, and it looks like the snow day out there is scheduled for Sunday!

I can barely...I can barely fit my deckie on my tree. Woah oh - woah oh, Christmas time isn't big enough! Woah oh. Come and lend me your hand with my, christmas tree!

:twisted: Anthony, if you are going to spoof, then you have to do the whole song.
Get back to work :mrgreen:

love it :D

and my thoughts on winter tyres, having got to try some for the first time on a lovely frosty icy road...

a bit crap

(but the tail slide on the corner was good fun :D )

" what part of my body hurts the most" Jim steinman from Dream Engine. I heard someone on you tube do this and they did an outstanding job.
well, oops, I thought this was the what are you listening to now thread, but this was my thoughts too.

It's all about the mulled Cider ;)

You've got me salivating at the thought of it!

3 more days then i really think the poo is gonna hit the fan very hard !

I miss forum life!

Ho hum!

Heli!! How the devil are you, old bean?

Heli's here?! Excellent, my time machine has worked! :D

Eeee! Hiya lovey! I'm not bad thanks! Just taking my impending deadline stress/avoidance to a new extreme! :P 4000 words to write for tomorrow....


So how're you guys?! :P

I even checked the chatroom to see where you all were! :shock:

Haha

lmao it's not Sunday night!!

It was last night when I checked! :lol: (How weird, I forgot it was even on a Sunday!)

Sunday night, 8 o'clock sharp!

Harrogate is the underage drinking capital of England. Apparently.
A trend that started way back.

That's absolutely true...the trend started with Andy and his brothers, and the next generation are doing a sterling job of drinking me under the table (quite literally sometimes!) :lol:

:lol::lol::lol:

Is it Sunday at 8pm yet?!

:twisted: Welcome back Heli :mrgreen:

Oh how the tables turn.
10 years ago it was everyone else under your desk, now you are under other people's tables :lol:

Awww, R will always have a place under my desk! :lol:

The torch has been passed to our young apprentices ... although they don't do it with the same level of style and decorum that used to be used :)) :cheers:

That was a very long day, very little sleep, but well worth it as the concert was fantastic!!!

I think I just got a puppy :)

Very large bill for car repairs. Damned dual-mass flywheel :/
On the plus side I'm off to see Bonnie Tyler and Status Quo in Cardiff tonight :D

Math, blah!

I think I'll stay in this room for the next 3 minutes and half, Katy Perry is on the radio ;)

Just got tickets for Bruce Springsteen in March next year! :cheer:

Talking about Jonty on facebook but he'll never know lol

Soooo, I now have a puppy, meet Gus :)

He's a funny lil pup

aint had the misfortune of the flywheel failure... but ive read its big £ notes to sort, but i have seen the quo a few years back and they were great!

never seen bonnie... what was the gig like?

id love to be there on the 20th :)

gus looks HUGE!!!

what breed is he, and what age?

Congrats! Enjoy the show! :-)

Oh he's not really very big, he maybe stands about 20cm tall right now, but he's only 8 weeks old, so I guess you could say he's big lol. His daddy was a pure breed American Staffy and his mummy was a Kelpie x Heeler, and apparently she was quite small, so hopefully he keeps his dads looks and mums size.

Quofest was top-notch ( last night at Birmingham)
Opening act was Eddie and the Hot Rods - lively, fast-paced and entertaining.
Then Bonnie. Setlist ( if my memory serves me corectly):

It's A Heartache
To Love Somebody
Lost in France
The Best
Turtles Blues
Total Eclipse
Faster than the Speed of Night
Holding out for a Hero

Opening half seemed gentle compared to Eddie's Hot Rods, but really came alive with Turtle Blues and then Jimmy Boy's trilogy was outstanding. A pal of mine who wasn't Bonnie savvy thought she was losing her voice. I had to explain the raspiness was normal! She can still belt out the songs, but with such a short set she could have cut out the chit chat between EVERY song and then played an extra song, possibly Rebel Without A Clue!
Then we had the Quo. My memories of seeing them at Wembley a few years back aren't exceptional, but last night I thought they were terrific. For a band that can play the same song for 2 hrs they did a pretty damn good job.
All the classics and all the fun.

So, what's everyone up to this morning then?

Have braved the centre of Cambridge to do some more Christmas shopping... Rather disappointed they didn't lay on any Royals this time, Kate and Wills were in town the other week when we went...

It's safe to say I'm shattered and my feet are killing me now, also I spent an absolute shedload of money...

Bah humbug...

Looks like the Mayans were right, the world will be ending tomorrow, starting with a small explosion at Ticketmaster

...and now the power steering has gone. Guess somebody doesn't want me to get these tickets after all :(

fingers crossed it's easy fix

Is it April yet?

I'm hoping it's just a burst pipe or leaking seal. If the pump is knackered I don't know what I'll do.

Drive straight?

Burst pipe/seal is always what I hope for.

any more stress today and i am going to go out and kick something !

Can't shift the headache I got this morning - I think Live Nation have killed me!

...phew, it was just a burst pipe. All done now. Panic over!

SO Glad I got my tickets in the end

Email from Ticketmaster inviting me to check out their special offers .... errr no, think you've had enough out of us today!

Email from Ticketmaster reminding me to buy Meat Loaf tickets.

Thanks Ticketmaster!

Sick of snow. Why do I live HERE

What?

Is he touring again? When? Where? How do I get tickets? Are there meet and greets? Is there a presale?

:twisted: Glad to hear it :up:

i wonder how the gig is going??? wouldda loved to have gone

did the oil change on saturday... didnt put the good stuff in, as i couldnt get the right grade for the right price... then in tescos tonight... the good stuff for 2.75 a litre!!!

so 4 litres bought... question is, should i drain out what i put in on saturday???

and should i buy a few more litres while its rediculously cheap???

McDonalds Chocolate orange pies are amazing

Congratulations to Mr Michael Stipe of REM who will earn a shed load of royalties today.

Just got one of those triangle puzzles out of a cracker....still trying to get them apart!

I tried one of them once but gave up. My workmate picked it up and worked it out in a couple of minutes.

Mini chedders or twiglets for xmas nibbles?

It will be before you know it

If this is the last tour lets make it last all night and give us something to remember you by.

Am I the only person who is not feeling at all Christmassy?

nope...
