    Aye - they'll be shaving 20% or more. The least we can hope for is a pay freeze. Birmingham council is looking to renegotiate public sector contracts and have the employees re-apply for their old jobs. Perhaps that'll be us too. No more golden decade for me either. I wonder if it'll be a dingy sunset.

    His Holiness Pope Ratzinger ( Ratty ) would have gazed at you through his watery eyes and thoughtfully replied ; " Ach Von Atheist, our glorious Fuhrer would never have employed a Jew. " He would have then turned to his Swiss Guard and said ; " Escort our Kiwi friend from our presense ". The Captain would have whispered in the Pontiff's ear...... " The Roberto Calvi treatment ". ...... "Jahowl, and God's blood remove that rubbish wine and replace it with the Liebfraumilch. "

    Personally Paul, I would go for the pay freeze. " dingy sunset" sounds all too familiar .

    I was reading the Independent this morning and studying the unemployment figures for Europe with shock. Spain at 20% is just aking for trouble, and with gov'ts all over the place undertaking "austerity" cuts, it's going to get a lot worse before it gets better.

    I was smart enough to leave the Mrs at home.

    I don't know about the kilt, Brian; I recall the days before they draped the patient in long plastic bibs. I was wearing my favorite blouse and my bosoms were spilling out in a fetching, but proper manner...at the end of the treatment, my mouth hurt way before it should and we both realized that he had given me a root canal on a perfectly good tooth...1 tooth away from the sick one.

    Here, Here, any reason is a good one for the bubbly...

My friend claims that mens parts naturally rise and follow women during a comatose sleep; I told my friend that I am relatively sure that nocturnal emissions do not include a full blown laser and fireworks show

    Parker? Bike shorts?

    Never!
    What a time to have a gorgeous blonde around; how long before you could form a proper fantasy about her?

    Yes, the bicycle shorts were supposed to be for that Queen video; Parker arrived and found that they weren't using the shorts to ride afterall

    Roberto Calvi treatment? Could anyone imagine the Atheist hanging from Blackfriars Bridge with five bricks in his pockets ? Don't all answer at once.

    This loverboy would not happen to be a certain Yorkshire farmer who has been posted missing recently. I am suspicious. You keep him well away from your vegetable patch.

    Categorically no, apart from the members of every religious organisation on the planet.

    Two days without a post!

    Parker was almost in tears. There he was with filet de boeuf en croute with the 1959 Burgundy and nobody came to dinner.

    (It's not all bad news, the beef makes great sandwiches!)

    Atheist, my dear old thing, the invitation must have got lost in the post. Rather partial to boeuf en croute, with carrots Vichysoisse and satueed potatoes. I hope the Burgundy wasn't a Remoissonel Clos de Vougeot, or I shall be devastated. Please pass on my abject apologies to Parker, assuming he's come round yet.

    Surely Parker would never make the mistake of serving Burgundy with beef, unless he's been at the Newcastle Brown ale again. Prendrelemick has a lot to answer for.

    Terribly middle-class prejudice, that, Brian. Remember, Parker knows best (although I've never been so sure about those fish-fingers he brought in once. Frozen peas? Is this acceptable?)

    Daffyd old chap, I'm sure that Parker knows much more about wine than I do but the pernicious effects of 'Newkie' on a refined sensibility such a his, cannot be underestimated. Frozen peas, as with all peas, are acceptable when eaten from a knife.

    Yes, but only if it's Mankusa honey which retails at Harrods at £42 for a jar of 120 grammes. i understand that it is favoured by Sienna Miller among other non entities, so it might be quite good; best ask Parker I think.
