Shorts and flip-flops then? Yahoo!! Do you have blow up crocodiles, or do I bring my own? how far is the beach? Do you have proper bacon?

I'm baffled by my university's decision to sponsor Bolton Wanderers. They claim not to be the sponsors, although the official sponsor FibrTech was set up only a short time before they announced the deal, and is a so called 'partner' in the university, with the same vice chairman, and carries the university logo.
In the meantime, the uni has just laid off 120 lecturers & is basically cutting every cost possible while hiking up prices.
So off they pop to sponsor a football team instead!

Bring (smokey) bacon!

We've got brown sauce.

send me your list.......smokey-bacon, Branston Pickle? Algo mas?

2.46am...stereo next door on top whack. Vibrating mirror on the wall.

Seriously?

Wipe them out, Abs.

Haven't a scooby what Algo mas is, Branston, bacon, pork scratchings (only if they're proper ones!) and Diaralyte(sic) for me!

Our neighbours whack out classical, not at that hour but it is most evenings. Is it some weird reverse snobbery on my part but complaining about classical seems to have some stigma attached in my mind!

My mate recieved a written warning from the council, for playing classical music too loud in the early hours. He has it framed on his wall.

Funny how it doesn't mention the homemade bangers we were letting off all night

This is good....

Thanks for that.

I am not looking forward to next years "celebrations" one little bit.

I saw Tim Henman on TV today, and I thought I'd look up on the 'net the time where he said that books are boring. I then found out inadvertently that Jamie Oliver also said that books are boring. So I thought I'd look that up, and I found this:

Now what is particularly interesting for me about that is that Catching Fire is not the first book in the Hunger Games series. You'd think if you were going to read your first ever book, you'd read the first Hunger Games book.

I'm not accepting dyslexia as an excuse for not reading, as there are tonnes of writers with dyslexia.

what next, twilight trilogy, 50 shades of grey?
