really? i wasn't aware of that.

Ahh its okay  Back in the old days, they used to wheel them round the wards for people to make phonecalls.

oh ok... i'm having carry on doctor/nurse/matron/whatever it was flashbacks now...

not that i'm suggesting it was that long ago.

Hyuk Hyuk I loved the Carry On movies


b.t.w. Hitch I saw the word "wubble" on tv... dang I'm trying to remember where!

ooh! exciting... wubble shall take over the world!

Even more exciting, theres a new series of TG tonight, 8pm. The new Stig appears

i know.

excellent. *dance of joy*

I enjoyed that, but blimey the Jezza helicopter/Skoda stunt looked dangerous. I was watching through my fingers

*hasn't seen yet*

v+ has been busy.

Happy Burns Night Hitch
Do Scots actually celebrate it? I saw Haggis on sale on the Asda website. I was tempted, but decided to give it a miss as it was quite cheap... probably not premium quality *sniff*

yeah normally, but with me working overtime... not walking to mario's for the haggis supper i normally get. (haggis, deep-fried in batter with chips. brown sauce optional.)

think i'll get one one saturday.

oh yeah.

i see what you mean about the skoda stunt.

nice to see the bugatti beaten again.

Wow Hitch, your local chipper serves haggis and chips!!! How cool is that?  I've always imagined it tastes a bit like sausage?  So whats it like?

it has a smoother, meltier texture than a sausage... spicy, but not too hot.

I like the sound of haggis, I must try it.

b.t.w the national dish where I come from, Belfast, is "champ". Mashed potatoes with milk, butter and scallions ( spring onions ).

yeah, heard of champ, never tried it though.

over here we call springonions syboes. (psy-bees)

Have you feen following the Australian Open Hitch? With Nadal and Federer out, Andy Murray has a great chance. I really hope he does it

not a fan of tennis to be honest.. i curse the wimbledon fortnight generally. lol

not really the sort to follow someone because they are scots/british either.

tv awards... cannot believe david jason (well actually, that one had a cold certainty ) and waterloo road beat sherlock! glad tg got it though.

Yay for TG  


I quite like Andy Murray. Mind you I have low expectations, being used to watching Henman, who almost couldn't go through a match without having a meltdown.

i enjoyed mcenroe as a quiz show on the bbc that time... hated the game though. that's as close as i've ever got to liking tennis.

Straight sets defeat, ouch . Poor Murray.


TG tonight should be a laugh, they're taking on the Australian TG presenters. I think we can expect lots of withering putdowns from Jezza heh heh.

hehe that bad?

someone on the facebook widget of my shiny new phone said he'd bottled it.

yep, should be... plenty of cricket references to go over my head too.

I'm glad we have our guys and not the 3 Aussie presenters, I found them intensely irritating. Good to see "James May"  bring home the win.

yeah, the boys did good. in their inimitable style.m *ahem*

And all totally fair and above board.

exactly!

new neil oliver thing coming on soon... about british history.

Ooh ooh *jumps up and down*

I see TG got into trouble again - for insulting Mexicans. Jezza must have insult-making written into his contract.

yep... i could just see the mexicans getting aggro the more jezza talked. lol worst still i imagined it with sombreros and tequila. :S

 hee hee, and I imagined a moustache and beer ( or tequila )  belly

¡arriba! ¡arriba!

*Is impressed that Hitch did the upside-downy exclamation marks, in proper Spanish style*

*cough*charactermap*cough*



this weather's something else eh? i'm coming down with something due to it i think.

Aye, its dreary.
I live in an old building ( Georgian ) converted into flats. There are sash windows etc... when its wet and windy like today the wind rattles through the building, it sounds spooky.

i'm in a victorian tennement... thankfully they removed the sash windows when they rennovated.

The tenements in Glasgow are pretty famous. Hopefully they've rennovated them to a good standard, Hitch.

well, they are alright... wouldn't like to go round the house with a spirit level though.

yes, watched stewart lee's series.

I didn't find Stewart Lee that funny... maybe it went over me head, but I didn't laugh.

i generally like stewart lee... but maybe i'm just too close to tg. lol

Neil Oliver's new series got off to a good start last night... oh and lots of shots of him looking windswepty.
