'Some',as in 'plural'? (livin' in france') Have no fear,Stevie G will continue to chip in with his decisive contributions. In fact,he is such an accomplished finisher,that he could easily play as an out and out striker. But,we now have the magnificent Torres,as our spearhead. And so the burden on Stevie G to come up with the goals,has been eased. Oh yes,Liverpool are definitely in the Title Race this season.
Well,i suppose there had to be 1 plus point to living in France. You can afford to buy a bottle of something a bit special,without it costing the Earth. I'l be having one of my 'wine & cheese evenings',tomorrow,the perfect accompaniment,to Belarus vs England. Rather more sophisticated,would'nt you agree,than tipping back the tinnies? To a fellow appreciator of that precious liquid, the 'Drink of Gods', Cheers!
Best of luck,Phoenix. And just think of all the extra delicious red wine that ciggy money will buy. And if you can't manage to go cold turkey, You can alays go 'on the pill'.
Hi,Shot3743. Glad to see you are wasting no time in taking the necessary remedial action. Sorry to hear about the somewhat less than satisfactory condition of your Eastern abode. I,too,have been given a bank overdraft without ever asking for one. Fortunately,though,i have not fallen into their trap,by spending any of the dosh.
On the plus side,at least you won't have to worry about the rack,now.
It depends. If you are the bank manager,you can look forward to being hung,drawn,and quartered. But,of course,not before all your limbs have been pulled from your sockets,on the rack. And that is too good for you!
Next time i visit Scotland,i'll have to try one of the famous deep fried mars bars. Though i've heard they are delicious,i could'nt pluck up the courage,last time.
Watch out for repeats of Seinfelds sit-coms,Mike. His observations on life 'with a twist',And his off the wall friends,(the other characters), will have you
Larry David,is another big favourite of mine. Great comic genius.
I am with you. Dave Allen was very funny. My all time favourite sketch of his,was the one where the pope was being carried down some steps,in his sedan,(or whatever). But one of the popes carriers (or whatever),loses his footing on the steps,and the whole shebang (or whatever),comes crashing down the steps,in a very untidy,highly undignified,but gloriously funny heap. Laugh? Me and my Dad were for ages!
How does it work in Malta,Lisa? I bet it's a lot cheaper to live there than here in the U.K. And you've got the weather,too. Are they the reasons why you went there?
I heard a great example of this on the radio,the other day. A man had booked his car into a garage,to have it serviced. He handed the keys to a mechanic,while he filled in the necessary forms,in reception. About 2 minutes later,the mechanic comes back,and says to the man,where have you parked your car,sir? Imagine the man's embarrassment,when he tells them,that he has come on the bus.
I don't think you are naive,Trish. I knew that councils put money in bank accounts,so that it could earn some interest while it was waiting to be allocated to community services. But,like you,i never thought for a second that some councils were building these mega portfolio's,instead of spending the money on services,as they are supposed to do. It becomes clear now,why we are asked to pay more and more every year. It sounds to me as though a heck of a lot of money is being salted away,to pay for gilt edged council pensions,while the rest of us take the flak,of these troubled times.
It's a great pity we haven't still got that gold. But the P.M.,(then chancellor),thought it was a great idea to sell it,for a pittance,compared with todays rates. People may say he wasn't to know that gold would be so valuable nowadays. But in times of uncertainty,the comodity that many turn to for security in their investments,is gold. Why? Because it is,well,golden.
RE: Canadians
Just what do you mean,by coming onto the U.K. Forum,and stirring up all this trouble?
