There's nothing more I can add.
Perhaps it's just a phase I'm going through.
Is this mid life crisis?

I'm not being intentionally provocative here but - really - she's utterly devoid of personality, talent, wit and depth, isn't she? You may say that with a body like that, any suspicion of personality, talent, wit or depth would be not merely unnecessary but practically obstructive. Maybe - I mean, I'm as fond of a dumb looker as the next part-time ogler. But, what?

Somehow her contrived status as the Sixties' answer to Helen of Troy makes her less attractive to me. Her reputation for allure defeats itself. To use an expression from the pubs around South London, I wouldn't - not even with yours.

What do you call a wagon load of Marmite that has over turned in Sheffield?

A nice change from dripping.

Funny and I caught your lick in the video.

I understand Marmite is being considered for use as a heat shield on reentry spacecraft.

Hehe!, no provocation taken. It all started with that divine One Million Years B.C. poster – http://www.cryptomundo.com/cryptozoo-news/pgbf-1mbc/

A friend had the poster blazoned across the wall of his room. Ever since I laid eyes on that loin cloth, Raquel had done for me what Farrah’s poster would do for so many other young blokes a few years later. Personality, talent, wit and depth are overrated when you have a pair of...uh…legs like those.
Giving the first video a second look, she does exhibit some talent with her dexterous, fluid motion from 1:14 to 1:24.

A couple others that got me lathered up during that time (early to mid 70’s): Adrienne Barbeau and Barbara Eden.

Reports are coming in that a Marmite tanker has collided with a bread van in Towcester. Motorists are advised to treat it as a filling station.

(If only I had been old enough to write for The Two Ronnies.)

Although I was too pre-pubescent to realize why, One Million Years BC fascinated me . I told my mum it was because of the dinosaurs and went to see it more than once.

Actually, it would be funnier if the second line were, "Approaching motorists are expected to brake fast."

Yes, I get very bored on the train.

(As an aside to non-Brits, 'Towcester' is not pronounced 'Tow-sesster'.)

Same as Bicester and Alcester, the latter which I'd heard of but never seen written. For a long time I thought it began with an H due to the brummie pronunciation of it, and thus could not place the name and pronunciation together.

In Coventry we have two areas called Cheylesmore - which sounds like "childs moor"
and Styvechal pronounced "sty-chal".

These stumped me for a while, as did Cudworth in Yorkshire which is pronounced Cud - uth.

Found a good beer last night - An old fashioned stout, like guiness but quenching. Made by Little Valley Brewery, a local bloke who has set up a brewery in an old turkey shed. It is good, but not internationally available yet .

Meanwhile Channel 4 are showing MALE beach volleyball this morning! What's the point of that?

That is a good one. I don't watch much TV, unless it's GIRLS beach volleyball, but from what I've seen that commercial is more entertaining than most of the garbage TV shows.

I like the idea of the turkey shed.

What's the point?...to get you off the couch and back to your hoovering.

I had a night out in York yesterday with my two brother. A fine time was had by all.It's the first time we've met since the old man's funeral, and so it was about time. We're planning to go out more regularly now. February will be next.

Did anyone see Man Utd get beaten by Crystal Palace? LOL.

I have a feeling they won't win any trophies this season.

I'll be watching MOTD tonight - though a little disgruntledly since I read the score you posted. Do you know the efforts i go to to avoid hearing it on the news? I'll accept a snifter in compensation down at the cold ale club. :biggrin5:

Meanwhile Rebel Members of the Japanese Arm of The International Matchbox Collectors Association decided to splinter off this weekend and form a Transformers Collectors Club...
