We're all fed up of it now. It was fun to start with, for a few days. Now its just miserable. Britain, the only country that can have a hosepipe ban running concurrently with flood alerts.
Poor Fly-Ass has had 6 cricket matches cancelled in a row. He now demonstrates an entirely new psychological manifestation of too much indoor practise. "Net Fever" it is now termed. If Fly sees another net he will go proper mental. Bang goes our summer holiday to Fleetwood.

The world waits as the shimmer off the race track in Bahrain increases with the midday heat. Will this be added to by petrol bombs which have effectively send the Indian team home?
Should sport and politics never be an interlocking part of a Venn diagram?
If it can be used as a force for good, then it must realise it can be manipulated to be a force for bad. You only have to look at Berlin Olympics and 1930's Italian World Cups to know that. But then again we k...

FAT LOVERS.
Whilst it is beautiful that 2 members of the opposite sex, but the same end of the BMI chart can still find love, may I point out one thing.
There are many ways of showing the world your affection...a sneaked snog, little fingers entwined on the tube together, perhaps even romantic footage of yourselves on YTube. But there is one way you do NOT show your lardy love.
Yes..walking hand in hand through the tube corridors at peak times....

See earlier post. They got him and his son.
But what gets me is the rather pathetic thinly disguised spam I now get from NATO, Dave and Sharkozy. Obviously a means to claw back the monies spent on jet fuel n bombs in our pursuit of cheap oil, which the Chinese are gonna get anyways.

They�ve got bacon. Nice greasy fatty bacon. Abu does run a good hotel. Secret though has gone for fish and horseradish for his brekker. A protein only start to the day he says. We have all been conned into eating carbo cereal. Good point, though I would rather be fat on Crunchy Nut, than smell of Billingsgate.
Right, education time. It all kicks off at the local medical school at 8.
Our taxi gets lost on the 2 kilometre trip there and we arrive late.

Secret Canadian needs to get out of his �professional isolation�. Well, it is a lonely job being only one of twenty doctors in a rare specialisation in the UK. So we have acceded to tearful demands, and Janky and Simon are going to his aid to meet others of the same ilk.
So like getting the last 2 butterflies to meet across a thousand miles of rainforest, we have him on a jet plane to the Rabble-rousing-docker-striking capital of Poland. Gdansk.
Yes, it�s the 3...

IT ALL KICKED OFF DOWN MY STREET LAST NIGHT. So what better way to spend a dull Tuesday soir, than to visit me local riot.
I've gotta say, what Janky saw was one of the most pathetic sights representing the most pathetic aspects of this shit country since probably the Suez Crisis. We are now a laughing stock to the rest of the world, and make Greece look like Germany. Most of us have now watched the feeds, sucked up Sky News [happy that Murdoch's off the front page sans doubte...

As we sink deeper into the current EU farce, and still nowhere do they mention that the Greeks only raise 2% of the possible tax haul, as well as have a mandatory retirement at 55 [show THAT to the Germans on the factory floor and you'll have a fourth Reich], we need to look closely at our neighbours.
Agreed they hate the English less than our nearest and dearest [hoots/there's lovely/begorrah]but still they have a total resistance to taking on our language fully.

For anyone given to conspiracy theories Lance Armstrong is perfect cannon fodder. Doping allegation dog him long after his retirement and the story won�t die because there is a huge reluctance by people to believe he was, quite simply, exceptional. The �did he / didn�t he� debate drags on but never seems to get stale � and is always perfect filler for a slow news day.

So by way of support for Lance - not that he needs much f...

A little potted history.
He coups off against King Idris,who was a deliberate attempt by the US and the West to push sales of Ginger Beer in Africa.
http://www.reviewcentre.com/reviews55662.html
From then on he behaved simalarly to most of the ruling African nutters. He didn't stoop to cannibalism like Bokassa, or apartheid like the Saffers.
Later he bombed a French passenger plane. The French negotiated for about 50k per passeng...
