    If you look out your kitchen window you will see an unmarked van with black tinted windows. Step slowly back fom the window, make no sudden moves and under no circumstances answer your phone.

Maybe Two-and a Half Men can start having Charlie's tv character go into rehab.

    I'm all for leaving the frozen steppe of the north, but do we have to go as far as L.A.? How bout stopping just east of LA at Death Valley National Park. I need a moment to thaw out. -



    From Wiki -
    "Death Valley is the hottest and driest place in North America because of its lack of surface water and its low relief. It is so frequently the hottest spot in the United States that many tabulations of the highest daily temperatures in the country omit Death Valley as a matter of course. On July 10, 1913, a record 134 °F (56.7 °C) was measured at the Weather Bureau's observation station at Greenland Ranch (now the site for the Furnace Creek Inn)"

    I'd much prefer cooler. I get sunburnt if I stand for too long after opening the curtains in summer.

    We have had a whip round in Scotland for Andy Murray and we have bought him a one way ticket to Death Valley. Thanks for the idea Gilliatt. Our national humiliation continues.

    I'm exactly the opposite.

    At the height of summer, Indians come up to meand say "Namaste".

    I think we might have to start appling the choker tag to Andy Pandy. Three finals, three straight-sets defeats.

    I feel for you, mate - I thought he had a good show and placed my money accordingly.

    About time too. I have booked your ticket first-class, the champagne is on ice and the Chippendales have agreed to act as cabin crew, they owed me a favour as I have some compromising info on them. Sorry guys, I have splashed out so much cash on Soundos flight you will have to travel economy.

    I tell you what - I just found that link in 3.52100003 seconds - or something like that.

    When I think of how we used to crave those 5 minute - hell three minute - cartoon features like Popeye, Road runner, Speedy Gonzales and the best of all Tom and Jerry, that would come on the telly in tantalising seconds of delight as children, and how if we got two in a row how brilliant it was - before going back out to play with a hoop and stick (if we were lucky) because Coro - bleedin' - nation Street was infinitely, (it seemed) on rolling out its drab and embittered northern boredom - I tell you - kids today - they don't know they're born......

    Have you got the tickets Jocky? I'm ready!!!!!
