Good luck with the rehearsal Jim. Week to go eh, gulp.

1 week to change my mind.
I have no idea what the rehearsal entails. I have an image of the Reverend sitting behind a long desk with a couple of alter boys next to him, X-Factor style. Then in his best camp northern voice he leans forward and says...

"Now...Entertain meh!"

Can't believe Blade is on lockdown! Still, I shouldn't imagine he will get much hassle from once in there - I would reckon if the daddy came for him in the showers with a crudely constructed shiv made out of a a razor blades and a hairbrush with an electrical tape-bound handle, Snipes' mastery of Shotokan karate and Brazilian Capoiera fighting styles would win the day.

It's just a run through of the ceremony Jim - from what I remember, ours wasn't a dress rehearsal though, turned up in normal clothes.

On the subject of being ID'd etc (you were a couple of pages back!), there was a short letter to the editor of the Independent yesterday, from a chap who'd been asked by some spotty supermarket oik if he was over 21 when he tried to purchase a copy of the newspaper! Crazy!!

actually no, I went through the trouble of going through 6 hours of makeup to look like a pensioner just to get some booze, I'm actually 14.

"sorry sir, we need to ask everyone"

I remember that - f*cking stupid is what it was! Completely ridiculous and Morrison's made themselves look like an utter arse! I can't believe all this, we have to ask bollocks - sure, if they look like they're 12, fine - ask them, but him?!?!?! Seriously, Morrison's need to start doing free eye exams for their stupid blind staff

Off out tonight with wife and mates. Might go into town for the first time in blaaardy ages. Have a feeling it is going to get a bit Leo.

Nice evening down here, quite warm and muggy like.

[Skull Commander]

[spagmasterswift]

How do I get to be in Paramore? I couldn't get into the Sugababes, but I think I have more of a shot this time around.

[MattyD]

I'd like to get into the Sugababes

[Kongster]

I'd like to get into the Sugababes

Seconded XD

Just fired up Football Manager for a quick go while my tea was cooking. Soon as my Sheffield Wednesday game loaded I clicked on continue to be told I had been sacked! Bloody Judas players had lost confidence me. Applied for 4 jobs since and not got one! I have sulked and started all over again

Has anyone bought any Euro's recently ?, wife went to the Post Office this morning, was told 1.17 to the pound, know the rate has been steadily getting worse over the last twelve months, but god, the rate is going through the floor only need a couple of hundred quids worth, can't imagine the Travel Agents offering much more either.

Anyone trying to buy a property anywhere in Euroland, must be having a nightmare, prices will have gone up about 15% purely down to the exchange rate.

[EJG1980]

I did when I went to Italy in March, it's not good at the mo. The official exchange rate at the mo is £1 = €1.27 so if it drops any lower it'll soon be 1:1 when you're buying currency over the counter!

You can get £1 = €1.23 from travelex online though.

[Dogg Thang]

I saw that exact scenario on Grand Designs a while back.

I am in Euro land so, right now, it's a great time for online shopping!
