I not really sure if I've ever used a quadratic equation (of infact very sure what one is). I was top in my class for maths which shows either I've got a very short memory or went to a very crap school.
I was in remedial Latin which meant I was also in remedial PE (who knows the wonders of school timetabling). In my school remedial PE was trampolining alternated with Scottish Country Dancing both of which have proved to be useful to me later life.
Unlike the Latin.

Unlike the Latin. Does anyone remember "The Meaning of Liff"
an excellent volume
By Douglas Adams and John Lloyd
It's a book about all the little things that happen that we have no word for. In their case they use place names which they claim are just hanging around on road signs not doing anything very much. You can read more here if you don't know it.
My personal favourites have always been
Anyone else a fan? Anyone else use words to describe things that happen but we have no word for?
I'm thinking I need a word to describe me - someone who does not smoke but stands outside pubs in the rain all afternoon because all my friends smoke. (Currently only in use in Ireland but which will be needed in England soon.)

"In Life*, there are many hundreds of common experiences, feelings, situations and even objects which we all know and recognize, but for which no words exist.
*and indeed in Liff"

BODMIN (n.)
The irrational and inevitable discrepancy between the amount pooled and the amount needed when a large group of people try to pay a bill together after a meal.
SCRANTON (n.)
A person who, after the declaration of the bodmin (q.v.), always says,'... But I only had the tomato soup.'

I've discovered sometimes its easier to SHoogle than Google. I mean SH knows things even Google doesn't know.
Anyhoo - I know lots about the Sleeper and will whisper it in your ear.
Its run by first Scotrail - they do Bargain Berths which start from £29 each way including a bed but I don't think they are available at weekends.
The normal fair is just the usual Super Saver plus £33 each way for a bed.
The bar is open late and is a proper sit down buffet car.
Travelling on the sleeper is great fun - gets my imagination going anyway (thoughts of strangers knocking on your compartment door - and I can assure there are none stranger than those on the London to Glasgow)
Anyway it run by First Scot Rail - who are a shower of Barstewards but they did eventually send me a cheque for £210 after I'd written to them 12 time. (Because they told me the train had gone early - when it was still bloody there! How on earth can you not spot a bloody great train.)
You can't book online - you will have to speak to Duncan (he is the co owner of the braincell at The Train Line) and seems to be the only person who deals with reservations. My understanding of the reservations is that you have to book on a Dry Thursday afternoon (only in months with a Q in) between and You will have to give you mothers inside leg measurement before being allowed to collect your ticket.
Once you've got your ticket though its dead good. I use it all the time. And highly recommend it.

Oh has to be real for me.
Christmas is just not the same without a real tree stolen from a neighboring farmer(who I once asked if I could have tree - he's got a couple of thousand ffs - and he said no) in a last of the summer wine type late night expedition which costs me more in beer than it would cost me to go and buy a fantastic souper douper top of the range fibre optic jobbie.
Its not one of those specially treated none needle drop types - so even though I don't get it until Christmas eve - it will be completely bald by lunch time on Christmas Day. Its hand selected by 3 pissed up fishermen with even less of an eye for stylish interiors than Linda Barker so its quite likely to be about 12 feet high but with branches only every 3 feet.
Last year it was about 3 metres across at the bottom but with no branches at all on the top 3 feet. It bore an uncanny resemblance to Anna from the King and I. (I found myself swirling round it singing "Shall we Dance" at every opportunity).
I love it - would never swap it for a real one. I can't imagine opening the Trivial Pursuits and not finding old pine needles in.
But there's a lot of pumpkins to be carved before then.

Hi All
Looking to set up a group of guys looking for NSA fun with local couples/girls.
I have seen from adds that there are many girls/ couples looking for guys in our area.
From what I have read we need guys prepared for girls from size 6 to 18/20.
What I propose is to try and get a good group who are prepared to go for all at moment.
If we do grow bigger then perhaps we can spread to our preferred choices.
To be honest i feel we are here to satisfy the ladies.
Feel heathrow great place to meet as many hotels and we have to have strong core group up for most thing to make this happen..Hence I feel reg meets to find what we want and what our strengths are.
If you are interested pls reply.
ladies pls help too.
Pls drop PM as to what you think we need to do...
Are hotels ok,perhaps bar to meet your guys etc..maybe yrs etc..
With so many of you in area even a social drink with us will help
Regards eager
Far be it from me to knock this enthusiastic and certainly ambitious plan but is it just me that found the liine "ladies please help too" a little bit like it was added as an afterthought. Makes it sould like you are just looking for someone to make the sandwiches and maybe hoover up afterwards.
To continue Thread Hijack
I used to organise weddings and I've been at a few where the bar bill alone was over £16,000 - its quite easy to see where all the money is wasted.

Thread Hijack !!
At the weekend we will anounce to all friends what we have done, and buy them all a drink............. total cost probably to be measured in the hundreds of £££'s...... so what must some people be spending to get the average up to £16000?

I'll tell you what i hate more than a sale person calling, companys that can't even be arsed to put a person on the phone and you answer the phone to a flipping computer
I've often wondered about that. Must be the biggest waste of money for companies to do. Who the fuck is going to listen to a recorded message that has called you ? :shock:
Chips and Gravy are best with scraps. A dish I've only experienced when living in N'cle for 5 years. The bits of batter that have fallen off the fish scooped out of the fryer and piled onto the chips. With the gravy poured over it all glues together in the tray and you can physically feel it gluing your arteries together as you eat.
YUM
My flat mate buys chips from the chippy ~ makes gravy in a glass pours it over the chips and drinks the bit that left in the glass ~ what a class dude.

Yep ~ just wanted to add my thanks for organising a lovely afternoon/evening.
Lovely to meet some new faces - some I didn't really get time to speak to (hopefully next time) - Tabbi we didn't get time to chat but I'll never look at your avatar the same again.
And RT you remind me so much of an old friend from this site (which I can assure you is a good thing!) hopefully we'll catch up again soon.
Lovely atmosphere, lovely group of folk.
Didn't know how to react when the Landlord accused me of not going to the bar all night!! I suppose I should be flattered that he had his eye on me - but I suddenly felt a bit guilty as I was rather comfy on my couch. So, if you bought me a drink and I didn't get my shout in then I'll definately see you next time.
See you all soon.

gratefull for any help here

I've been with ukonline since my first connection on dial up. Switched to their 2meg broadband at six months ago. I've only had one problem with them but it was a nightmare getting on with Customer Service. After much screaming and shouting I ( I was offline for 10 days)
They have given me a refund for August + 3 months free. Customer service manager told me that by the time I start paying again in December the prices will have come down as they are about to resturcture their deals. They already have a very cheap deal for 512 which is only
I can tell you I have several bad de fuzzing experiences (only one ended up at the doctors and it wasn't the home waxing!)
Its just messy and really quite useless - just spreads all over the place but doesn't acually remove any hairs. Professional waxing is quick and (fairly) painless. Once you've been once its not really embarressing.
I used to go to a posh place that charged £30 quid and took nearly an hour. I now go to a failry grotty place next door where its only £20 takes 10 minutes for what the salon calls a G string ( I let you guess what that involves!!)

Well it makes a change from "Where are the Scottish?" the usual battle cry of the Scottish Newb.
I'm not actually Scottish but I am indeed a Celt.
And to add to the list the 7th Celtic Nation - Galicia - Galiagans (no idea how to spell that) are passionate about their Celtic ancestory.
(I'm going off to phone Little ~ I know how much she will enjoy this thread)

You are absolooooootely right, Dave – or rather the encyclopaedia you looked up is right! But what we are talking about is modern day FOOTBALL – not the history of man-fuckin’-kind.
May I suggest you confront a few dozen Glasgow Rangers supporters and declare:-
“It does not matter what religion you are........if you are Scottish, Irish, Northern Irish, Welsh or part of the South West of England.....you are a

Its day 3 in CQ's bathroom. There is no sign of any dental work in the toilet.
Well your Injun Intuition is way off Missy. Decided to have one final go at Poo Puggling. But no luck :cry: (Don't be knocking this fine sport davej - I've been studying Dali to brush up on my techniques.)
Remind me not to trust your water in future Missy. The least you could do for me now is knit me a new denture.
Best thing is I've been to the Dentist this morning. He is called Dr Doou!! Forever after in my mind Dr Poo :shock: Has told me that really there is not much to attach the crown to and that even if he had been able to reattach it, the prognosis was poor. Might not even have stayed in.
Have spoken to "Attila the Gum" (this is the name he has given himself!) the Hungarian implantologist this morning to book in for my "Dental Vacation".

sorry, Mick Hucknall
International megastar, how the fuck did that happen?
they're a 3rd rate covers band at best, look at him, he's so feckin ugly he should be a postman :taz:
Celticq will be sorting through more talent looking for her missing tooth
I'd be grateful if people didn't spread my poo all over the Café.
But totally agree with giving Mick Hucknall a doing should the opportunity arise.

Fuck me! It was bad enough reading it, but seeing pictures as well. I mean, when you've ate something, you don't really want to see it again, do you. Especially after a few years festering in your colon. :shock:
Or even after a few days! Never mind the pictures - I've been having the full interactive experience.
