yeah, bring back thatch. she rooled.

hope we don't have another 10 years fo this new labour shite though

18, but boom tish nonetheless.

Well, that's what 17 years of Tory rule does for you.

very very very poor though

Ooh, bit of satire there.

socialism - load of bollox mate

"This communist goes into a knocking shop and asks for a beer..."

two straight men - it's not going to work as a comedic relationship is it? we should perhaps stick to beer, sex and socialism.

HoHo! I'll set 'em up, Big Man!

nobody's perfect though az, i'm sure my genes would get a look in somehow.

:o)

They'd be ugly as hell and twice as noisy!

me two. you want kids with me? think how socially well balanced they would be. cheap as fukk too.

That's my actual philosophy on life, boxo. Get it, enjoy it, and be a nice little boy while you're doing it. I call Epicurean Eudemonics.

mmm, bass. in a pewter tankard, chilled but not cold. lovely. cheers az, enjoy your riches tonight, for tomorrow we are poor.

Mmmmm, gravy...

work? pah! drink and be pissed for tomorrow is just the same old shite as todays, just wrapped in a different gravy.

same here. soon, anyway. I really should be working.

Here, have a purse of moneys to buy your ale, my man.

*scatters sovereigns on floor*

that's it, i'm getting a beer.

Oops, sorry, was I hurting you?

*withdraws from Bing's alley a little*

*points and sniggers*

good name for a band there methinks.

Sorry, there should have been a full stop between "time" and "and".

I've developed some hearty crushes on people from round these parts in my time, and Azul's right up my alley.

i will always love you azul. madly. i will be nicking your champagne to sell for my mild n bitter, but i will always love you.

Any of the vodka or chocolates left, Craigey?

Will you still love me when I'm a champagne socialist, boxo?

Things I have won:

Casio Digital watch in Primary School Raffle aged 6 (have upgraded to next model since then).

Box of Quality Street at the Kent District Plate Final (when out uni 2nds were victorious at Canterbury FC).

x2 Tickets to Finsbury Park Festival aged 16 (where I watched Pearl Jam yeah!)

Signed England Team miniature bat.

Bottle of Vodka in Football team raffle on coach back from playing Uni of East Anglia.

ha! don't be tempted az, the first class are still the worst class in this 'classless society'. your beer tokens run out and the fukker on the door will sniff as you try to gain entrance to the food hall.

Cheeky Lins.

i think he's up overall over the month, doesn't owe any gansters

I even said 'Would you bag them up, my man' with a haughty mien.

And tonight I'm going to have proper beer instead of that Newcastle Brown shite I usually drink at this time of the month.

its the vision of the march into marks n sparks, strident, aloof, a sense of belonging if only for a fleeting moment. he'll be buying a barbour next.

great work, Az. You know how to mix it with the other half

hehehe! az, livin large.

well then he has a problem. is his debt large and to which group of gangster type thugs will he be losing his life?

I think that qualifies as a problem, yes.

I'm living the high life already. Marched into Marks & Spencer, got three bags of jaffa cakes, three bags of crisps (cheesey poofs, s&v squares and prawn cocktails) and a big prawn and mayo sandwich. Didn't turn a hair when I had to hand the money over. Styled it out like a bastard.

erm, he lost and he's on £18k.

all your winnings each way would have returned £3237.50

had you been stupid enough to do it.

Lins, 3.5k? fekk! hope he got some back.

Depends how much three and half large is to him, Lins. Might be the same as me having a pound each way on the Grand National.

5 numbers eh? Good man

Did he win? Could he afford to lose it?

ah, but it came second and i backed it each way. so although the nag lost, i didn't!

my mate put 3,500 on a horse the other day. Do you think he's got a problem? hehe

ok, cool. Hope you're not too cold - you'll be even keener to get somewhere warm at this rate!

Hehehe... yeah, stupid of me not to punt on that one then, eh?

£1,850 on what ho darky? muppet. You should have asked, i had a tip this afternoon. It lost mind.

yeah, definitely. I may be able to make saturday, but
my boiler is broken so I spent 6 hours at home waiting for the supposed 1 hour service plumber, who then came along, fiddled around for an hour and said he couldn't fix it. Finally made it to work at 3 oclock and my boiler is still broken. Now have to wait til saturday when the plumber will come at the very precise time of between 8 and 5 and cost me a bargain £200.

In the unlikely event of him being there early doors I shall join you

:-(

We'll have to meet up when you get back then, you can impress us with your tan and your stories!
Don't get too stressed hon, just think of how soon you get to leave it all behind...

Well, I spunked it all on 'What Ho, Darky' in the 3.30 at Uttoxeter.

Can anyone lend me a fiver?

na, i've not done a thing. I'm having a bit of a stressful week as it goes. I'll have to find time on saturday. Looks like I'll have to miss meeting you and sammy too :(

hehe

Have you started packing yet?

if there was a tax on the stupid Jim would be a very poor man

Tiny tots are littlewoods pic n mix and they expletiveing rock!

I don't think I like Barretts - is it them that do jelly babies/tiny tots/liqourice alsorts? Bleurgghhh.

Haribo every car journey for me ;o)

Tangfastics! my old flatmates faves. I like tiny tots myself.

I don't like jelly babies. Much prefer Haribo teddy bears or tangtastics!

you people make me sick

jelly babies Satch, except black ones, don't like them.

jim eats babies viki. Don't get sucked in

Im' baby freindly. will not baby'd up people be allowed? or will i have to steal one from somewhere?

Okidoki Jim.

Ara and I will have to arrange a get together somewhere baby friendly! Then clovis and balti and all the other parents can come too.

You'll have to meet us frsit Viki, aftewr baby probably.

hehehe satch!

You make me laugh :o)

Ok Whoj,

Sian, don't 'hehe' Satch, you'll only encourage him, and i don't smell (bad)

Sorry Sian and Jim, I shall desist, and buy you a pint if I ever see you - just for the two of you, alone, in a darkened corner of the pub

I Viki, on the other hand, have been covering sian regularly for the past six months.

SHE IS A TOMCAT

There was something going on?

Jim - come over here and whisper what happened. I won't tell a soul!

sensitive all the way, that's me

hehehe satch

Not like you to be senstive to my feelings whoj.

viki - there was action going on, but then sian's cold cleared up and she got her sense of smell back

me, I'm saying nowt, wouldn;t want to open old wounds and all that

not was?

was…

hehehe

ooOOOOoooo

Touched a nerve!!

So Jim and Sian aren't doing it with each other.....but is there some action going on? I think I should be told :o)

I've got to go. Fight it out between you.

*books trip to Newcastle for june*

I'll be down in June and sort the pair of yoou out

are you gonna get him or am i Sian?

they want to tho, really really want to

no, honestly.

see, denial all the way

Couldn't be any wronger could he?

It will make you cry, nearly did me on the tube the other day!

Wrong Whoj. Very, very wrong.

Jim and Sian are at it like rabbits - they just pretend they don;t see each other

I'll go halves if you want Sian.

Cheers Jim. Any Primo Levi type work is worth looking up. Thanks. I'll give it a go. Might make me cry though!

Sian - welcome back to blighty. Horrible isn't it? So grey, so depressing. *sigh*

Yeah - due a couple of weeks after ara. Must have copped it during the world cup:o) Must see what match was played the day it was conceived!!

Don't be jealous - you've got years before you need to start thinking babies. Have loads of fun and travel everywhere before you have one!

*leaves*

:O)

Yeah I've been back about 5 months now. It's nice to be back but I'm in my finaly year now and have soooooo much work!

Not in the middle of anything. Just James trying to claim I have lots of money or something.

When's your baby due? Is it about the same time as Ara's? You lot are making me jealous - I want one now!

Much along the same lines as Levi-the truce/if this is a man, but from a womans perspective, in the labour camps etc (she was 15 when war started 21 when it finished) I suppose every story about this subject is going to be pretty powerful stuff.

go and buy 10 scratch card - you're bound to win

Hello sian. You back in the UK these days?

Am I in the middle of something...er...intimate here? Looks like I've got a lot of catching up to do!!

Me? Starting? Never ;o)

Laura was up before me this morning! She couldn't even remember what you said to her 2 minutes afterwards so don't worry.

No sweety I haven't. I'm reading the Rough Guide to pregnancy at the moment - which is about my level :o)

So what's it about?

Viks, have you read 'all but my life' by Gerda Weissman Klein? Just finished it, very good.

stop starting ;O)

I do remember really.

My husband's friend won 1.6 million. Which means that we'll probably never win anything now. The bastard - he's spoilt everything.

I did tell you. I offered to take you out for dinner and you probably told me you had better things to do. I don't remember now.

no you didn't

But she lied, she just gave you that.

When I was really, really poor about a week before my loan came through, my mum called and said I'do won £100 on my premium bonds. I told you that.

yesh, you

nope - never won a sian before.

I won 2 million once but squandered it on my philanthropy addiction.

me?

I think so.

did you?

I WON F*CK ALL OFF NOTHING

I won £100 on my premium bonds last month. That was a nice surprise.

Biggest win I've had was some £800 on football pools.

she didn't win it Satch, she "earned" it

I won £80 once. That was nice. I was 15 though so my mum had to go and pick up my money. hehehe

i won a 10er last night lucky dip gave me no' 17-18-19-35-46-47, first 10er i've won for ages.

my mum won 3 and a half grand once

Mine's got £10.80 on it. I'll have to buy two tickets.

hehe!

they're about 80p getty depends where you shop?

cheers az :)

how much?

I'll buy you some Hobnobs.

really Az? £10? hahahahahahahaha!

HURRAH!

well done azul.

don't forget me babe ;o)

exactly Azul, feck the credit card, get yerself over here with pins on Tuesday and blow it all in a night.

£10!

Ta! Or maybe I'll reinvest it in lottery tickets? Anyone got a good tip on the third race at Wincanton?

aw tell us you big tart. It's not like you earned it

way to go, petal, chuffed for you.

A nice little sum, Satchyboy. Not enough to quit me job, but a very welcome and timely injection of cash nevertheless.

I might just squander it on tarts and whores.

wahey!

brilliant Azul - you bring in the beers then?

really? nice one mate! how much?

Well, I just checked last night's lottery result and found I've won enough to pay off my credit card, so big fat ner!

Happy happy joy joy.

I'll probably lose me fecking ticket now.
