These Just Arrived at My Office...


Just want to start by saying 3 things!


1. I have had umpteen other feckers staying with me and this is the first bunch of anything I have ever got


2. Poor Wombat had her heed 'doon the pan' most of Sunday, I hardly saw her!


3. Meera - look at what you could have won

Not only did they visit the weekend I knocked them both off the top spot in the league (how much fun did I have!), they did the washing-up, which my flat mate is yet to do once and she’s been there 6 months. Judith made me wake them up at 8am on Sunday morning (ouch) in the name of vanity! They rescued my bag from the hands of common thieves (Sat night), a heroic effort, thanks again Wombat. They bought me lots of drinks and one orange Calippo Ice lolly. They were fantastic World Cup companions and furrrking good company all weekend. And like me, they’re love for The Labyrinth has transcended the naivety of childhood and remains with them both in adulthood (er, actually, can that remain between us for a few years?!).

But they did laugh at (rather than with) me quite a lot. All in all it was a great night and a great weekend.

So when I say YOU SHOULDN’T HAVE – I mean it.

thank you for the flowers girls

A Proud Weekend for Visitors


Jab, Beef, Celest, Siggy... Rock Londinium.

Friday
4pm Argies v Gerrys game. 8pm Italy vUkaraine The original plan was to catch the games in Filthy McNasty’s but that’s in North London. We should probably move it to Soho. I propose The Slug & Lettuce, 80 Wardour Street - big screens

Saturday

I'm not venturing out on Saturday but someone must have a plan for the Pride parade - answers on a post card here, meeting times and places etc.

Sunday
Beef and Celest are doing the tourist thing for most of the day but want to meet for drinks in the evening. You'll probably be sick of the sight of Soho at this stage so I propose we meet in Camden on Sunday 6.30pm / 7pm (is that too early?)

1. The Cuban – in the heart of Camden market – print your map off now

2. The Lock Tavern – if it’s hot we’ll head here it has a beautiful beer garden

(the other way around if it is Sunny)

I Have been liaising with Beef over this and these are my thoughts. Let us know what you are thinking in the comments section. Aileen, Ivona and Sigs may already have made plans ...

mr beckham

David Beckham decides to go horse riding. Although he has had no previous experience he skilfully mounts the horse and appears to be in complete command of the situation as the horse gallops along at a steady pace.

Victoria admiringly watching her husband.

After a short time David becomes a little casual and he begins to lose his grip in the saddle, he panics and grabs the horse around the neck shouting for it to stop.

Victoria starts to scream and shout for someone to help her husband as David has by this time slipped completely out of the saddle and is only saved from hitting the ground by the fact that he still has a grip on the horses neck.

David decides that his best chance is to leap away from the horse, but his foot has become entangled in one of the stirrups.

As the horse gallops along David's head is banging on the ground and he is slipping into unconsciousness.

Victoria is now frantic and screams and screams for help!

Hearing her screams, the Tesco Security Guard comes out of the store and unplugs the horse.

Cooo Cooo

Craig Brewster, sent scouts out around
the world looking for a new striker to help his team climb the league.
One of the scouts informs him of a young Iraqi striker who he thinks
will turn out to be a true superstar.
Brewster flies to Baghdad to watch him and is suitably impressed and
arranges for him to come over to Tannadice.
Two weeks later Dundee United are 4-0 down to Rangers with only 20
minutes left.
The manager gives the young Iraqi striker the nod and on the field he
goes.
The lad is a sensation, scores 5 in 20 minutes and wins the game for
Dundee United.
The fans are delighted, the players and coaches are delighted and the media love the new star.
When the lad comes off the pitch, he phones his mum to tell her about his first day in Scottish football.
"Hello mum, guess what?" he says, I played for 20 minutes today, we
were 4-0 down but I scored 5 and we won. Everybody loves me, the fans, the media, they all love me".
"Wonderful," says his mum. "Let me tell you about my day.
Your father got shot in the street, your sister and I were ambushed
and beaten and your brother has joined a gang of looters
while you were having a great time!"
With this news, the young lad is very upset. "What can I say mum,
except I'm so sorry".

"Sorry!" exclaims his mum. "It's your fault we all moved to Dundee in
the first place!"
