Admirable forward planning. Always good to get some aviation into obligations like visiting the inlaws. My missuses parents are 10mins from Hardwick, so there’s often nice things to see and hear when out in the garden!
The X-Files. Every episode a work of genius. Luckily I have all 9 seasons on DVD 🙂
The Fork Handles sketch is priceless. Personally I reckon the whole Fawlty Towers episode “The Builders” is the finest example of television comedy ever. Must have watched it 50 times.
Top teams PLUS the best two second place teams automatically qualify. The rest of the runners-up play off I believe.
I shall be voting – even if you think the candidates are a bunch of clowns, you should be grateful that we do have a democracy. Be glad you don’t live in Zimbabwe, for example…
I’ll be voting but it depends on when the vote is and how long the poling booths are open for. the 5th May has been mooted and I’ll be doing a 12 hour day shift starting at 07:30.
Polls normally close at 10pm.
For proximity, the Polish Su-22s holding on full power at Coltishall were bloody loud last year. XH558 was always impressively loud though.
Ecclestone won’t be quitting. A close “examination” of the story would reveal it to be little more than a bit of BBC PR puff. The actor supposed to be taking over, just “happens” to be the star of another brand new BBC drama launching soon…
Period drama Casanova, which moves to BBC1 from BBC3 on Monday, added to Tennant’s reputation after his success in the drama Blackpool.
Now call me Old Mr Cynic…
On a serious note – England would be such a better team if Eriksson opened his myopic eyes and dropped Beckham. We don’t need his set pieces as much as we did in the past, and others are far more mobile and in better form.
As and when Cosford re-unite the 3 V-Bombers, I’d love to see them all in gorgeous anti-flash white and low viz roundels
Another big problem is the rise of the US-style “compensation culture”. Ambulance-chasing legal firms with those cheap daytime TV ads really get my goat. In my book, yes, you’re entitled to compensation if someone else is at fault (ie Potters Bar), but if you’re just plain clumsy (dozy bint who might slip on a polished floor) then that’s your own tough titty.
Put Maggie T in charge of the side!
3-0 at best. We ALWAYS struggle to rack up the goals against teams who come to defend. And, Mr Sven’s attitude of “we’ll be happy with 1-0” doesn’t fill me with confidence… 🙁
I was quite a “late developer” as they say. Passed my test first time at 22, having had probably about 18 hours tuition.
His release was just one big PR stunt for King. I found the pictures today quite disgusting, especially as his “people” were thrusting copies of his new CD into the hands of the press.
David Beckham, Sir Alex Ferguson and Manonthefence 😉
