Sounds positively Partridge-esque. Do they have a carvery?

The quarter-finals of the 2006 Lithuanian Eurovision preselection

After protracted "negotiations", we've come to a mutually acceptable solution (with happy finish).

I'll buy a copy off you if you like. Be glad to get it off my hands, it's either that or taking it back to HMV and claiming I've lost the receipt. Next piss-up you're at, I'll buy it off you. How much do you want for it? Time to take this to PM I think.

10PM?

The entire 1987-era team at the Rupali in the Bigg Market, celebrating Darren Jackson's birthday. (In 1987, I hasten to add.) Ahh, the curry and beer school of nutrition...

Aye, I was going to say, it's not bad value for what it is. Especially when you get two copies for Christmas. Anyone need a spare?

Describing her talent as "modest" is already pushing it.

Aye, I was saying (in that whole other thread about the same subject ) that one of my new year's resolutions, insofar as I have any, is to cook more stuff from scratch. I actually bought a nifty little Kenwood food processor with some Eldon Square vouchers my rellies got me last Christmas, then managed to not use it at all for the best part of, ooh, 12 months. But now that I've started, I'm a soup-makin', gratin-bakin' machine. Yer Jamie/Ainsley-type books are fantastic, particularly the meals-in-minutes variety, but for the more basic stuff your mother would have taught you if (a) you were a girl, ( you lived in the 1950s and © she didn't spend all her time in Wetherspoons, this one's an absolute godsend: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Good-Housekeeping-...TF8&s=books

Childhood nerdiness is to be encouraged at all times. Makes me feel less bad about my wasted youth. Surprised we never saw our Danny on there though. Specialist subjects: The Offside Rule and Line-Mincing.

Although in saying that, their myspace profile claims they took over in July. So maybe my dad's just going a bit mental.

Nah, not necessarily. Confused the hell out of me like, my old man bought me a Steel Wheels voucher on the 23rd and by the time I went to spend it on the 27th the place was gone. They didn't mention it to him or owt like that.

It's what used to be Steel Wheels. Changed hands (and name, obviously) over Christmas. (mngghh, you Joey, etc.)

Don't think all English keepers are shite. Ben Foster and Scott Carson are two good keepers. So as Nicky Weaver (at present). David James - Very good when not making mistakes Steve Harper - Steady good keeper when not making mistakes Just for clarity

A belated herzlichen one to you.

euphemism? Na

Billie Holiday - Baby, Get Lost

Euphemism tbh. beat me to it !! Shepherd's pie turned out nice, but I never got round to stabbing my rolling pin into some chocolate for a dose of hot brownie action.

Will be making shepherd's pie from scratch tonight, plus chocolate brownies for afters. This new year's resolution about cooking more stuff properly is proving surprisingly easy to keep. It's the one about the waistline that's suffering as a result...

Ear Parade!

That'd be a first...

Dirty racist Turkish bastard.

I think by the standards of South East London, she's pretty normal. Carole tried to reassure Jermaine that she was "sub-normal" by English standards, not in her area she's not. Anyone who's spent any length of time around Bermondsey, Catford, Deptford, New Cross, Lewisham way, will know what I mean. Nobby will know . Oi! Some of us try to raise the tone around these parts.
