Mark must be back from the pub, the Snippets are up. There are loads of new ones, including your one Mrs K.

Hi Mrs K,

I reckon Mark's out for a curry, so all the topical stories that are piling up will be old news by the time they hit the pages.

Welcome by the way - 'twas me who originally put you forward for Morse's gang way back in the early days - glad you're part of the crew.

All the Best

Hey Skoob - I just realised what this was about. I notice she has single eyes. Is that instead of compound insect eyes or something? Like Bono? Single eyes eh? No wonder you were smitten. Hey, she has 25 single eyes. That's unusual.

I think we are quite entitled to beat polite Earl if he doesn't deliver the goods.

Good story Roy.

I get the gist of it, but being half Irish and Catholic it could be construed as offensive.

However, no offence taken.

Best Regards

Certainly not intended to offend - just a turned around anti terrorism story. And I did wait until St Patricks day was over to post. Not sure when St Zapata's day is though.
Going to bed now - Chapter 15's up by the way and Earl Grey is onto the next one. Presuming he's not annoyed with me as well.
Night all
Roy (part Irish too)

This will sound like sour grapes, but I never really understood the fascination with St. Patrick's Day in the United States.

Everyone has to wear something green. If you don't, you are permitted to be pinched (and not permitted to retaliate). Everyone has to go out and get drunk and watch parades on TV and make big fools out of themselves.

AND THIS IS ALL FROM PEOPLE WHO ARE NOT EVEN IRISH!!!! I live on the Mexican border. The area is a huge majority Mexican-American or Indian.

I can see why the Catholics might celebrate the holiday (it's St. something, after all). But why everyone else?

I don't think that you celebrate Mexican Independence Day in Europe, do you?

So, what makes this holiday so popular?

Hey J-Man - I wrote this partly for Duncan Whitehead, but I now dedicate it to your comment.

some of it is actually true - like the Britney song thing - but I agree when its a twist on the news

I was always thus informed,

Quote: Queen Victoria's Guide To The Misery Of Sex

"The male should approach his task as rapidly as possible. Thrash about for a bit and dump his deposit into his unresponsive consort at the first possible opportunity. Then roll over and fall asleep as speedily as he is able. Only thus can successful coition be enjoyed by either party.
As long as the male doth fart afterwards, with one that reeketh of curry, chips, and ale. A real 'pea-souper'."

Have I been going wrong somewhere?

Please advise

Best Regards

Skoob

That made me chuckle somewhat in an embarrasingly damp manner Mr Skoob. Wish I'd written that.
Hope you & Mrs enjoyed Red Nose Day - Mrs Roy fell asleep but I laughed and cried as usual until the early hours.

Amy Whitehouse because she has a real talent which she is throwing away. The rest should be applauded for making the most of limited resources. Actually I'm being a bit unfair to Britney.

Roy

Nice one Mark - thanks for taking my ideas on board.
Roy

I felt better for watching that - hope you and Mrs did too Skoob.

All the best
Roy

How long until Reuters have their logo doing a little flip do you think?

Congrats

didn't Robbie Williams have a song about hand gells?

I just saw the new Featured Writer - Jen A. Taylia

Hell Birbee - you're like a weird name magnet.

My grandmother was at school with Lidia Kettle - not quite in the same league. Oh and I heard of Robin Banks and Hugh Mahn from people at work - but they could be made up.

Oh and I meant 'weird-name magnet' not 'weird name-magnet'.

I must have clicked the same time as you IS - it didn't count my post. I reckon that's what happens to all my points too...

Who do these people think they are - having ridiculous names when its our job to invent them! I actually had a Tim Burr in my story about a new woodwork joint last week - and he actually exists.

I think my recent favourite has to be Dungeekin's chap who was responsible for small children's education - Sandy Wetwipe.
(Actually, for the US Spoofers I don't know if Wetwipe is a US as well as a UK term - if not it's one of those damp towel things for wiping kids asses.)

Still those of us with proper names can only wonder...

Buck - you know that was terrible otherwise you would put it in Jokes. However,'Impeckable' is brilliant.

I just nearly made a very silly mistake!

While logging onto to my Lloyd TSB Account I entered my user number as 00748928374 and my password as PO5783 - my password is really PO5784! (User number was fine)

I finally got it right on the third attempt so no harm done and I can continue to enter using PO5784 and 00748928374.

Watch out for that - everybody.

I really feel I should point out that reproducing this information on an open forum on the World Wide Web is foolhardy, as unscrupulous people may see it and could use your credentials without your permission. Lloyds TSB have gone to a lot of trouble to provide a responsible banking system and this is how you treat it.
