Good afternoon everyone!
I saw a great t-shirt yesterday. It said “Particle physics gives me a Hadron” I saw it and I couldn’t stop giggling. Also I believe a villa shirt was mentioned about a week ago, concerning a ‘big’ fan who had “Size” and “0” on the back of his shirt. Any more funnies? Also I saw the funny football nicknames, and my favourite has to be Kiki “Chris” Musampa.
Right, time for the –of-the-Day thoughts.
‘Joke’ of the Day – A blonde from Essex is lying on the ground, bleeding heavily. Two paramedics come up to her and ask “What’s your name?” She replies “Sheila” “OK Sheila,” they continue “Where are you bleeding from?” “I’m from Romford,” she replies.
After yesterdays panning by the critics, I’d better not ask the audience what they thought.
Right, Thought-of-the-Day.
Which of the original starting Pokemon was the best? (I say Squirtle, but hey, what do I know.)
Facts of the Day: Water on the Equator does not swirl away anti-clockwise like in Britain, but just goes straight down. Also Diniyar Bilyaletdinov is called (unsurprisingly) Billy at Everton. How unoriginal! They could have gone for Lettie, Dino or Sergey.
Football League club of the day - The club of the day is… Cheltenham Town! Statistically the closest league club to where I live, Cheltenham are nicknamed the Robins. Incidentally the word ‘Chav’ started off in Cheltenham. (Cheltenham Average) and it has been accepted into popular culture. Cheltenham play at Whaddon Road.
World Place of the Day: Auckland in New Zealand.
Word of the Day: Warsaw in Poland. Not to be confused with Walsall, West Midlands. They speak better English in Warsaw.
Song of the Day: It’s not Nirvana because I don’t like Nirvana. It’s Crawl, by Radiohead.
British Place of the Day: It is…………… Barnstaple in North Devon.

Good afternoon everyone!
First of all, I must congratulate you all. I went on the thread on Thursday, and when I logged on today, there were exactly 1252 new posts. That’s roughly 10 times more than we averaged per thread on 606, in the later stages.
Secondly, I found my old etch a sketch on top of my wardrobe. Happy happy happy days. I remember doing a particularly fiendish picture of a Lamborghini Countach on it aged 9, when my sister bodged my arm, and erased the picture. I wasn’t very happy, so I cut her Cindy dolls head off, ‘buried’ the body in our sandpit and left the head on her pillow. I was grounded.
Right, time for the –of-the-Day thoughts.
‘Joke’ of the Day – Two hunters are in the woods. One slips, and whacks his head on a rock. He’s not moving, he’s pale, and he looks pretty bad. His friend rings up the emergency services. “Hello?” inquires the operator. “Hello,” the hunter says. “My friend has slipped over whilst we were hunting, and he smashed his head on a rock, and I think he might be dead.” The operator continues calmly. “OK, well, first make sure he is dead.” The operator then hears a gunshot, and the hunter comes back on the phone and says “OK, now what?”
Lets hear from the audience then….
*Get off, your carp!*
*Booo!*
*Who is this guy?*
Not a rave review then.
Right, Thought-of-the-Day.
What colour does a tomato go if you make it angry?
Facts of the Day: You are statistically more likely to be killed by a donkey than by an aeroplane. And you are more likely to be hit by a meteorite than win the lottery. Lucky then.
Football League club of the day - The club of the day is… Plymouth Argyle.
It is the most western and southern club in the English League.
They play at Home Park. Sounds like a baseball ground if you ask me.
They are mentioned in the Aviva advert. GREEN ARMY!
World Place of the Day: Quito, the capital city of Ecuador.
Word of the Day: Capacious.
Song of the Day: Stairway to Heaven by Led Zeppelin. Take a bow.
British Place of the Day: It is…………… Kingston-Upon-Hull in the East Riding of Yorkshire. Not my first choice for a holiday. Heavens no. Scarborough all the way.

Good morning everyone!
First of all, I’ve got to remark on my newfound love of Cherry flavoured Tunes. I love to eat random sweets, such as Tunes, Trebor Extra Strong mints and jelly babies. Also I love the taste of Prawn Cocktail crisps.
Right, time for the –of-the-Day thoughts.
‘Joke’ of the Day – Two goldfish are in a tank. One says to the other. “Buddy, do you know how to drive this thing?”
Right, Thought-of-the-Day.
How can you lick your elbow?
Facts of the Day: Tomatoes are 90% water, and silk is stronger than steel.
And my not-so-new and not-very-fresh features, ‘Was it just me or…’ and the ‘Anyone remember..’
Was it just me, or did anyone else do loads of jigsaws as a child? Or was that just my deprived childhood…
Anyone remember when Gameboy came out? EVERYONE had a Gameboy, and played Pokemon Zelda and that awful Harry potter game on it.

Good afternoon to you all!
First of all, I’ve got to express my love for 606’s sexier and cooler big sister, h2g2. Its loads better, it’s got a dragon emoticon, and an Elvis emoticon. 
neither of which you can see on the 606 site. Once this family’s everlasting ‘thread’ reaches 20000 (in around 800 posts time) I am going to h2g2 for good. There’s no time limit, you can’t be off topic, and the m.o.d.s don’t come down on you like a ton of bricks. But most wonderful of all, it is Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy. My favourite trilogy in 5 parts ever.
Bonus points to everyone who can name all 5 books without cheating. It’s like having your brains beaten out with a piece of lemon wrapped around a gold brick.
Right, time for the –of-the-Day thoughts.
Joke of the Day – Two pieces of black tarmac are sitting in a bar. Suddenly, a piece of red tarmac walks in assaults, one of the pieces of black tarmac, and walks out. “Why did he do that?” the other piece asks. The barman answers “Because he’s a cycle-path.”
Apologies. You didn’t deserve that.
Right, Thought-of-the-Day.
Proverb: Understudy, he say that he did not start the Flame War.
Facts of the Day: Giraffes are the only animals born with horns. And a pineapple is a berry.
And my not-so-new and not-very-fresh features, ‘Was it just me or…’ and the ‘Anyone remember..’
Was it just me, or did anyone else use to read the Beano and the Dandy? I used to wait for Thursdays with bated breath waiting for the Beano and the Dandy to fall through the letterbox.
Anyone remember the program ‘Dinosaurs’ back in the day? What an immense program. It was up there with Gladiators, Guinness World Records and Noah’s Island.
Football League club of the day - The club of the day is…….. Arsenal!
They play at: Ashburton Grove, also known as The Emirates Stadium.
The manager is: Arsene Wenger, Master Tactician and The Myopic One.
Famous ex-players: Dennis Bergkamp, Tony Adams and Sebastian Larsson.
World Place of the Day: Split in Croatia! Home to Hadjuk Split, where Niko Krancjar used to play.
Word of the Day: Juxtaposition. Try saying that whilst chewing on a mouthful of Shreddies.
Song of the Day: Purple Haze by Jimi Hendrix. Rock it people. I want to hear you all trying to sing along to this.
British Place of the Day: It is…………… Presteigne in Powys, Wales! Big hand for the town of Presteigne. In case any Welsh people are offended by my use of the English name, its Welsh name is Llanandras.
