'bassetts'?

Sunbathing........nice
I should do that soon too

Ali - your intro was marvellous darling simply too divine! mwah mwah!

(if you really want to know, you click "unsubscribe" under the conversation title on your space)

Legers - if you are in England then you had better make it soon, as I suspect these few days are going to be Summer!

But Hazel (dahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhling), that doesn't erase your contributions to the thread, does it? Or does it?

Bad news (Hazel, especially): I have spent the last three hours WRITING about cr***et and as a result I am just a little bit insane and a little psychotic. Nothing to worry about but make sure I don't go near any boxes of matches or any garden machinery because it is quite possible I might flip.

Wibble.

Hey, look! We are almost one per cent of the way to 10,000 posts.

It's a start, innit?

Ali - if a tree falls in the forest and nobody's there ...

How can you spend 3 hours writing about c****et??? No wonder you're feeling Have a

I'm not quite in England. Sorry

Ali, aren't you thinking a bit far?

I'm going out everyone

good night all

Hazel,

'Ali - if a tree falls in the forest and nobody's there ...'

Is this code for 'AWAW, you are hatstand...'?

Or is it a well-known phrase that isn't, er, well-known to me?

Legers - you're right. We want top-quality, non-inflammatory posts here which will stand the test of time! Not just Quantity !

ALi - it is one of those Buddhist sayings which is supposed to create deep thought. Like "what is the sound of 1 hand clapping?" - which Bart Simpson answered BTW. The whole thing is "If a tree falls in the forest and there's no-one to hear it, does it make a noise?"

But you are still probably hatstand!

Of course it will make a noise.

What tosh!

'When the sun is in the west, the cats will eat their milk, but only on a Tuesday at 7.30pm (on a clear night).'

That's my philosophical statement for the day. Ithangyoo.

Ali - have another

And because I'm feeling argumentative tonight - cat's don't eat milk. Some of them drink it, but really only kittens should have (cats) milk.

Er, have you ever thought of doing anything else than writing about c****et? I only ask because it puts you in such a bad mood

Playing it puts me in a slightly...erm...interesting mood.

I could write about football, couldn't I?

Okay, a test: when we were yabbering yesterday (at cr***et) we decided that the answers to the following questions decided whether or not we were cool. Ready?

1) The Star Wars film: a load of old socks or awesome?

2) Which was/is the best James Bond?

3) Collars up or down?

4) If someone nicked all of your CDs but agreed to leave just one, which would it be?

Ali - I am bound to fail this miserably, but here goes:

- socks (pants, even)

- never watch James Bond

- collars? On shirts? Down, then

- tough one. Soundtrack to Rockers, maybe.

What about you?

Never seen any of the them - the best answer - though socks/pants will do.

George Lazenby, of course, because he blagged his way into the role and if you say George Lazenby people respect your opinion because people will think you know what you are talking about (and he was the grittiest of them all, apparently).

On shirts, up (for blokes, anyway);

Tough one but it might have to be Radiohead's 'The Bends'.

I bet Pat agrees with me on the definition of cool, 'cept his sole CD would be something by The Smiths.

I think you pass the cool test, especially as you have selected a reggae CD (I think).

Well, actually I have never seen any of them except bits on video! So - it's to have watched all the JBs?

I think this may be more of a male test than female though. And I'm sorry, but if I see collars up I tend to think "t***er". But then my taste is questionable

Yes - Rockers is definitely reggae . Including amongst others, the excellent Peter Tosh, Burning Spear,.

Does Pat know about the new, vastly improved & remodelled "Is this..."?
