Monday was my first day off work sick since I started this job about 18 months ago. Did me the world of good, too. I must do it more often.

Happy birthday to ya!

Fucking hell Davey, you're getting tardy in your old age. That was posted hours ago. You been practicing your vooooooowels???? Practising his bowel control more like. Poor lad's getting on a bit.

No and yes respectively. Nobody likes getting pubes stuck between their teeth, after all.

Beirut - The Flying Club Cup

Bruce Springsteen - Magic I feel so manly.

We lost on penalties and took our ball away in a strop?

Could be interesting. Could be horrendous!

For is it not written in the BIBLE, "Thou shalt put up a couple of bits of tinsel, and not a moment before the first of Advent, thou dumb consumerist twonk"

I'm Sorry I Haven't A Clue on Radio 4. 50th series and still as filthy as ever.

What r they gong to do about BARTON ...what?

Gawd. This is like that fire in a plastics factory (or similar) near London City Airport a while back. There's nothing wrong with vigilance, but people can be proper daft these days.

Only because everything you say comes with that trademark Fop taint of "I know all and everybody else is inherently flawed". That might not be your intention, but it's certainly how it reads, particularly when you provide no actual discussion of exactly how "people" - whoever "people" may be, in all their pigeonholable, homogeneous glory - are going about being so staggeringly ignorant. Or, to put it another way: I don't believe anyone who's posted in this thread is unaware of the specifics of what went on in WWI, nor do I think they consider the rememberance process as mere lip service to some dates, names and numbers. And I'm pretty bemused that you seem to think otherwise. So again, tell me, what do you do that makes you so much better informed than the rest of us? Maybe we can learn from your example.

OK, I bite. How? And are you talking about the lessons of history in a broader sense, or the specific horrors of (e.g.) trench life in WWI? You seem to be addressing both so far. This is now an insult me thread (for whatever reason), I don't think discourse on that has any place here. Huh?

Fop is the only one who feels the PAIN

That and I'm not German. http://www.toontastic.net/board/index.php?showtopic=16790 That should help you with a bit of context, young Robert.

Bunch of Johnny-waddle-latelies.

Euphemism? If not I'm bloody well gonna make sure it is one! Are you now Martin behave before I carp your diem.

Well true. It's a pretty good incentive to carp the ol' diem, if nothing else.

Aye, me. Moving to Germany straight after graduation was a cracking experience, but it's put me about five years behind where I should be in terms of savings, organising private pension provision, getting anywhere near being able to own a home and so on. I try to block it out most days.

Still down with this bloody head cold, feels like it's threatening to erupt into a proper ear infection now. Still, at least it'll distract me from the derby day nerves.

They're clearly wrong, wrong, WRONG. And I really want to try one some day.
