Cheeky!

So they get you to pay twice by having more people than the realistic capacity.

Sad day today, the young lad I have mentioned before who was dying of leukaemia passed away early this morning, he'd been very ill for a long time but still heartbreaking news.

Real sorry. Can't offer anything of any use except a prayer G.G. I'll do that though.Gooner Girl wrote:Sad day today, the young lad I have mentioned before who was dying of leukaemia passed away early this morning, he'd been very ill for a long time but still heartbreaking news.

Re: General Chit Chat
The Ramsbottom Pie Festival ... an excellent concept.
Later this month Nantwich's Cheese Festival ... one not to be missed, Gromit.

Re: General Chit Chat
He's ok, a bit subdued. Knew it was going to happen (not that that really makes it easier) Obviously he knew him far better then I did. Think he will find the funeral tough. He's going to have to try and help some very sad, grieving kids at his youth group. A lot of them knew and were friends with Digby. Digbys uncle is one of the other leaders of the group. Bought back memories of Josephs death for me.Gary the Enfield wrote:Gooner Girl wrote:Thanks Tango, I know his family and friends will appreciate all the prayer they can get.TANGODANCER wrote:Real sorry.

Re: General Chit Chat
Just caught a bit of an interview with Andrew Neill, Red Ken, Portillo and Mylene Klass on "casual sexism".
She said "There's a huge lack of respect for what women bring to the table"
Can't believe none of them thought of "that would be breakfast, dinner and tea, love."

Where's the emoticon for a sharp intake of breath?! If you cracked that one in our office, you'd be a castrated wreck within seconds, not to mention facing disciplinary action.

Life on the edge.... 

Re: General Chit Chat
Is it like the Pie Pie of Shrewsbury? Where they take all the leftovers pies from the past year and put them all into a massive pie? Then every 10 years they make a Pie Pie Pie out of the previous 10 pie pie's. This may have stopped due to EU Health & Safety regulations (and because it's from a 90's sketch show nobody will remember)bobo the clown wrote:The Ramsbottom Pie Festival ... an excellent concept.

Mind you a mate of mine believed that Led Zep's Stairway to Heaven contained the immortal linessomebody at the BBC who made this up wrote:The Eurythmics' pop classic Sweet Dreams (Are Made Of This) is the most frequently misquoted song in the UK, according to a survey.
Nearly a third of the 1,350 people polled believed that lead singer Annie Lennox sings: "Sweet dreams are made of cheese/Who am I to disagree?"

That reminds me of a only connect question about misheard song lyrics (known as Mondegreens). Fancy hazarding a guess?
