6. Chuck Norris can spell giraffe.

So I take it you're supporting England through the World Cup then?

I acquired a Top Gear jobby off of Ivan. How'd you know? Now you know why I didn't want it Andy.

Let's hope the Jock gets knocked out fairly quick!

I've got cable phone and broadband and it didn't cause a problem when I wanted Sky. James, if you can, go for cable for everything - the broadband is better and if you choose a bundle of all three you can get the same number of channels (give or take a couple of minor ones) for a couple of quid less than Sky - and the HD is FREE...

And he turned up with a pack of cigars for me.

The Forces have already done that with a civilianisation program a good few years ago. Many, many rear echelon jobs such as IT support, instructing etc have been turned over to either the Civil Service or contractors, thus releasing troops to the front line. As an example of how successful it was - when my own IT Support job at Bovington went civi I was replaced by an EO and two AO's, thus raising the wage bill for the Garrison. Not only that, but they decided my IT experience was too valuable to let go so created a Data Analyst job to keep me anyway.

I got a card from the daughter up in Welsh Wales and a "I'm off to my mates to watch the football - I'll get you something on the way home tonight Dad."

And I wonder if Blair's still after the Chairmans job after this?

Sounds to me more like he played the American Game to a tee - "I'm sorry, I don't remember".

A man after my own heart - EXCEPT I haven't watched ANY of the games at all. Can't stand football at all - like you said, a complete waste of money.

Let's just wait and see if Ed's first thoughts were right. Me - I reckon he is.

Sounds like a "Keep a lookout for a Supra reg no XXXXXXXX 'cos I caught the driver with no seat belt today" job to me.

Oy! Some b'stard's been using my name! the REAL Ken Holland (not Nigerian and not in the US Marines either)

Rear tyre blowout at 200mph is enough to make anyone blackout! I met Mansell years ago at one of his garages in Bournemouth. Very nice guy. My son's still got the pic I took of the two of them.

Oh My God there's some nutters on here.

Ibtl?

A mate of mine has plastered his (black) Bentley Conti GT with a huge St Georges flag sticker over the whole roof. Added to that he's covered the sides and rear with vinyl adverts for some club or other and the whole car looks a right mess. At least he hasn't added any falgs though.

Good one Nick.

You're right. Apparently Corden had said he fancied one of the Jonas Brothers earlier on.

Obviously as a Fathers Day present to us all.

By booking only I'm afraid. They haven't sold tickets at the gate for years now.

I don't think I see your point. Are you saying why should we care about the gulf coast? Like someone said earlier, the majority of people in the US don't care about sh!t that happens elsewhere in the world, only when something happens in their own backyard - then they get riled to hell. I know it's harsh for you to hear it beebop, but by the USA's own standards, why should we here in "Europe and Eurasia" care if someone spilled some oil on your shores? Especially when the company facing up to the cleanup ceased to be a UK company years ago but your president still seems to be publicly laying the blame at our doorstep.
