  Just like old times 

  You still have milk delivered in pint bottles with foil tops? I thought that was against EU regulations?

  In the good old days, when fish and chips came wrapped in last week’s ink stained newsprint and ten bob notes lasted till next Wednesday, many’s the early morning, after a hard night’s partying, listening in a stoned daze to all four sides of Umma Gumma played extra loud on a distorted gramophone, we crept unseen up garden paths to steal refreshing pints of Gold Top from unsuspecting neighbours to drink for our breakfasts.

  yey 

  OK. Piece of piddle… But it made Sasha confused.

  If I have five chaffinces all called Steve and Dave is my uncle’s window cleaner. How many bottles of milk do the bluetits hack the lid off?

  Mmm, mmm, answer me that one then!!!!

  umm… 

  what dod said.

  Err … 

  This bloke clearly has seven brothers or sisters. His three uncles or aunts remain childless.

  riddle 

  OK. I just made up this riddle – having been to see my grandparents over bank holiday I guess I must have been inspired by that.

  A man has no cousins. His grandparents have four children and eight grandchildren. How is this possible?

  First one to get the right answer wins the momentary respect of the other bloggers.

  not having a clue i imputed the data intirely at random and got 5 points. woohoo.

  well 

  I got 4. Still I’d rather be a Star Wars geek than a Big Brother geek;-)

  Big Brother 

  Shamefully I got 7/10 on the big brother quiz. I suspect pinkie might beat me if she tries; and maybe banshee carrot – or whatever she’s called these days (but I’ll always think of you as banshee carrot)

  Cricket season 

  Yes it’s the cricket season and we’re playing a top quality Bangladesh outfit – possibly as good as the Dutch side. They appear to have been annialated out of sight already. A bit like last night really… accept we produced a fairly epic sized miracle. I am happy today. La di da. Skippity skip. Yep

  The game of the Gods 

  Did one team beat another team at football last night? Isn’t it the cricket season yet?

   
• pinkie 11:43 am on 26/05/2005 Permalink  

  Football 

  Well, even I thought that last night’s match was good (I admit to snoozing when we were 3 goals down), but I love penalty shoot-outs, all that exciting tension… GOAL!
  Anyway, I’m even more excited about the trip to Newquay surfing, even though not much surfing will be done if the forecast is accurate! However, I maybe able to get a few small rides on my trusty bodyboard providing someone is willing to run along the shoreline towing me.

  Waterfights and the footy 

  Highly charged and tense game last night. We all got thoroughly despondent after AC scored in the first minute and then followed it up with two more goals. The best we hoped for was a goal from liverpool to restore some pride.

  Cue Gerard with an astonishing header which revitalised his team and spurred them on to some decisive play and getting them back to 3-3. Whereupon they reverted to defense and (only just) survived til penalties.

  Prompted by Carragher, Dudek performed Grobbelar-style gyrations on the goalline and succeeded in saving 2 and causing 1 to be kicked over the bar.

  El Crunch was ecstatic and most pleased.

  Dodman, if any waterfights occur today, be sure to retrieve my grey gun and get them while their backs are turned!

  Waterfight! who? what! outrageous!

  i’ll look in to the font size. I forget I have to allow for the aged demographic;-)

  Fontleroy 

  What’s with this new fangled font? On my puny laptop it’s barely legible.

  There’s a vigorous water fight going on in the garden at the moment. This must mean summer has at last arrived.

  yey 

  I would probably have preferred elswere but so far every match of everything I’ve ever seen at Brockbank Central has resulted in the nobler, more gentlemanly (my) team winning. (i.e champions. league semi, rugby world cup final) Therefore in order to procure the correct result I adhere to the Gospond Road request.

  european cup final 

  Slightly & Pliskin: I propose that we convene for the watching of the final. As I see it, the options are: Gainsford, Kestrel Court, The Globe or The Barnham Bridge Inn (or whatever it is called).

  Any preferences? Obviously, as it doesn’t require me to move more than a couple of paces, i’d vote for Gainsford.

  haven’t seen this yet but it looks darn good…

  naming rights 

  i’m not sure anyone can claim to have named crud, the name pretty much evolved. Though I’m fairly sure that the first occurrence would have been uttered by myself or solid, something along the lines of “… some sort of crud tennis!” actually the more i think of it, the more i remember that it was me!

  hail all 

  i would just like to say that i care not for this soiling of the blog with repulsive tales of episode cack – what a load of rubbish, and how any of you can waste your lived going to see it i know not.
  and where is pinkyshmoos piccy? possibly solid could crafy one, and while he’s at it carotte wouldn’t mind a revamp of hers – something with flowing locks and glowing features pls.

  i rarely write on the blog these days due to working pretty much 24/7 at the hell hole otherwise know as ‘dest job’ – internet not allowed (smiling only on sundays and laughing squashed by the vigilant ‘team leaders’) i barely get home in time to refresh myself with a quick episode of buffy before crawlinginto the pit for a few hours shuteye.

  i would be writing this from geoff’s own computer at our palatial abode in melbourne road if the ‘solicitors’ did not need a few years to sort out a few papers. we got the depressing new back yesterday that it costs arounf £4000 to re-wire a house – what with that and the roof this looks to be a pricey venture (all woth it though for the north facing garden and the passageway along the side of the house – both good selling points!)

  well, going out for a spot of fresh air and a look at some blue sky if i’m lucky. get drawing those pictures solid.
