Oh no, TONGA ! Well we will clear up our empty cans, or in some cases empty Newcastle Brown bottles, and troop off to our beds with the consolation of knowing that the Kiwis have been drawn against the Aussies. :nopity:
I'm not too worried about Australia - our bogey team looks like being the same old suspect: France.Quote:

Before you could say Travelocity, the heavens let fly a fair fusillade of a frog strangler.
And some credit goes to the Atheist. Thanks for your part in sending that rain.

Again, I'm not a bloke but I am having a Hitachino Ginger Beer. I got it because it had an owl on the label. It's pretty good. My ego says that drinking beer with a good logo design is always better than drinking lousy skanky alcohol products that come in a plastic jug so that you don't break it when you crash into the card table it was sitting on and waste tomorrow's buzz as well. Family Dollar sells mouthwash in plastic containers. Just FYI.
What a damned shame we don't have any Irish members!
(Did we ban the micks at the start?)
They certainly owed Aussie that one. While it wasn't the greatest spectacle, it's great to see old-fashioned guts and determination win.
I have no idea what's being discussed here. Has there been some sort of televised drinking contest?Quote:

We may have Irish members. It depends upon the genetic distribution - allegedly - if we have part Irish ancestry. :DQuote:

You or me either one, Mark; but I am sure the blokes have been up to no good without one of us keeping an eye on them. As for me, it is a very sad story, a lightening storm hit a tree and took out, in one lick, my phone and computer lines....I have been lost. I have been talking everyday with wonderfully articulate and polite people who tell me how sorry they are for my loss and even sorrier for their impotence...Now the average American is very happy when he can talk to another American about his technical problems; me, I don't care what nationality or religion they are, just send me someone who can fix my phone. I would have tipped Osama if he could give me phone service:idea::lol: Well, today, an adorable little fellow with big blue eyes, long eyelashes and a beer belly...he would have gotten on great with all of us, I'm sure, fixed my stuff and I fell in love...he even gave me his phone number:drool5:Quote:

To paraphrase Terry Pratchett, That book is not only slightly foxed, but has been badgered and moosed as well.
Reading Sounds' latest adventure reminded me of this.

It's the worst virus I've ever had. Not the most violent, maybe - some kinds of 'flu make you sicker - but this one just won't give up.Quote:

Sorry to hear about the virus. 16 days is a long time for the kiddy.
Hope all get well soon.Quote:

I never watched that movie; but sounds intriguing. Anyway, blue eyes is gone until the next phone outage and I am in the midst of helping daughter to clear out and find new homes for 20 years worth of trend shopping. Last night I was up until 4am, pulling apart a hogwarts castle that would not make all of its screams and open doors, found that Professor Snape had somehow fallen down into the wiring and was bent over in the whole mess looking very distressed and keeping the thing from closing properly. All fixed, checked ebay and the day before, this was going for 369 dollars, the following day there were so many on it that it had dropped to 40. :mad5:Quote:

Great story. Sometimes it's hard letting go of those things. My son still has his version of Hogwarts castle constructed of legos, on his dresser. At least there are no wires to contend with. Dismantling shouldn't be a problem either...perhaps an "accidental" drop on the floor?Quote:

Wow, hot peppers, they are certainly popular down this way. I've noticed though that all the folks run around coughing; but the cold never gets them down. I can barely handle the heat, so I do a little red pepper sprinkle in my food.Quote:

You know that day when you know you're actually going to get all the way better, and not linger on forever in a haze of fever, viruses, medicines and vapours?
Today is that day!
The scary part is, that's how it started. I had a slight cold for a couple of days, skited about how healthy I was only having a little runny nose...Quote:

I think we'd better get jocky on a scouting mission for rugby coaches or something. There is no good reason why Scotland should be crap at a game that's made for them. Despite the fact that they've never beaten us, they were always looked at as classier and more dangerous (and more physical) opponents than any other home union.
On the basis of losing to Argentina, I can't imagine them troubling England.
HRT. Three little letters that strike fear into the heart of any chap hoping for a quiet passage into his dotage. :p
A bloke I used to know went on about that, and the sudden energy. Is that why viagra's become so popular?
