I would have done but I wasn't here then. Another in the munching series, still no Cheerios in the house so boring old Cornflakes instead ;(

Rollo

1st July 2007, 04:16

This post comes as a result of me being bailed up on the couch with an unfortunate snot surfeit.

If anyone wants my surplus supplies then feel free to ask. Also, I seem to generating an inexhaustable supply.

djarumdudley

1st July 2007, 06:37

quite alright, i'm fully stocked in that category.

LeonBrooke

1st July 2007, 09:11

I'm finally getting to watch the latest series of Top Gear. Jeremy's comparing the Aston Martin V8 Vantage and the Jaguar XKR.

Captain VXR

Rollo

I was watching the Dutch TT this afternoon which Rossi won; my question is to do with the A-Style logo?

http://www.astyle.it

Was anyone else thinking what I was thinking or do I have a dirty mind?

CarlMetro

1st July 2007, 19:32

I think most were thinking the same as you, I know I was :cheese:

DonnieDarco

1st July 2007, 22:07

LOL!!! How rude :laugh:

CarlMetro

1st July 2007, 23:11

It's no worse that the London 2012 logo :\

DonnieDarco

1st July 2007, 23:15

No, that was just hideous :D

CarlMetro

1st July 2007, 23:17

The infamous Scott mills described it as Lisa Simpson give someone a blow job :s hock:

stevie_gerrard

2nd July 2007, 01:39

my LW

LeonBrooke

2nd July 2007, 06:17

How could they get away with that logo?

Rollo

2nd July 2007, 08:17

What I can't believe is that they spent nearly £400,000 coming up with it. I mean Lord Coe is seriously up himself if he thinks that this is acceptable. Personally I think it looks suspiciously like the old Tiswas logo from ITV

CarlMetro

2nd July 2007, 08:18

I guess some people have cleaner minds than we do?

djarumdudley

2nd July 2007, 09:15

not in this forum.

DonnieDarco

2nd July 2007, 11:51

Morning all :D

CarlMetro

2nd July 2007, 13:31

Afternoon :wave:

DonnieDarco

2nd July 2007, 14:52

That too :D

CarlMetro

2nd July 2007, 15:16

Shortly before the evening too?

djarumdudley

2nd July 2007, 18:22

backtrack to a little past noon.

MrJan

2nd July 2007, 18:35

I've seen that A-style logo before. It has to be my favourite logo ever because the guys who came up with it must have realised what they were doing. The LW didn't understand though, poor little thing.

CarlMetro

2nd July 2007, 22:27

Did anyone try to explain it to the LW?

stevie_gerrard

3rd July 2007, 00:31

nah, it doesnt need an explanation :p :

Rollo

3rd July 2007, 00:34

In this age of innocence? No way :eek:

I think a lot of us know far too much about the world for our own good.

LeonBrooke

3rd July 2007, 08:48

I just heard a disturbing story about the source of the vanilla flavour...

CarlMetro

3rd July 2007, 08:58

Care to share it with us then?

DonnieDarco

3rd July 2007, 09:40

Vanilla comes from vanilla pods. :D

CarlMetro

3rd July 2007, 09:48

Ah, but does it though? ;)

DonnieDarco

3rd July 2007, 09:51

Well..........................yes, yes it does :D

CarlMetro

3rd July 2007, 09:54

Are you sure though? Have you ever seen vanilla pods producing vanilla flavouring? :dozey:

DonnieDarco

3rd July 2007, 10:04

Not up close and personal no, but I know they do :D

CarlMetro

3rd July 2007, 14:21

Ah ha! So you've not actually seen it, but you've heard from someone who heard from someone else whose Dad's brother's second cousin's next door neighbour told them that that is what happens. Is you source of knowledge to be trusted?

the LW doesn't think so ;)

Rollo

3rd July 2007, 15:56

Vanilla comes from vanilla pods. :D

It therefore follows that if you cut up an iPod, you should have a source of i flavour :)

CarlMetro

3rd July 2007, 15:59

and escape pods contain escape essence? And that pea pods contain peas..................oh hang, that last one is correct :s

MrJan

3rd July 2007, 20:29

pod spells pod when you turn it upside down. The same can be said for dop, doop, pood and polod.

CarlMetro

3rd July 2007, 23:18

Nice to see you're putting your degree to good use Miguel :p :

Rollo

4th July 2007, 03:04

Well scientists might not do rock and roll, but they understand the mineral properties of rock as well as the physics of roll.

LeonBrooke

4th July 2007, 06:57

Actually, some vanilla flavour comes from processed bovine stool, apparently...

CarlMetro

4th July 2007, 08:47

Is that why cheap icecream tastes sh...................?

DonnieDarco

4th July 2007, 10:28

It therefore follows that if you cut up an iPod, you should have a source of i flavour :)

Well, those should be cut up anyway, or smashed with a hammer :D I say this of course, because I don't have one :D

stevie_gerrard

4th July 2007, 17:32

i cant afford one :p :

CarlMetro

4th July 2007, 19:50

Never mind Stevie, you ain't missing out on much..........

............apart from the LW of course :p :

djarumdudley

4th July 2007, 21:06

which is eluding you as well.

MrJan

4th July 2007, 21:18

Nice to see you're putting your degree to good use Miguel :p :

That actually is the most I've used said degree in the last 12 months.

DonnieDarco

4th July 2007, 23:14

Miguel, you need to use it more :D

CarlMetro

4th July 2007, 23:19

At least he's got one to use, more than I ever got ;(

Rollo

5th July 2007, 00:20

I have 3:
B.Law
B.Business (Accounting)
B.Economics
Nyah nyah nyah :D

Having said that, they're all bloody useless and not worth a tinker's fart to anyone in the real world at all.

LeonBrooke

5th July 2007, 06:44

I'm about five months away from completing my Bachelor of Nursing, the most useful degree mentioned so far :D

CarlMetro

5th July 2007, 07:59

So not all degrees are about spending three years getting pi$$ed and partying then?

Rollo

5th July 2007, 08:11

No, that pretty well sums up my time at uni...

Actually that pretty well sums up most of my adult life but is that a bad thing?

CarlMetro

5th July 2007, 14:52

I guess it's ok if you can afford it and don''t care too much about your liver.

LeonBrooke

5th July 2007, 22:50

I spend most of my time at the medical school, where everyone works hard and is boring.

DonnieDarco

5th July 2007, 23:50

Yawn................... ;)

LeonBrooke

5th July 2007, 23:53

I'm the exception - I'm interesting.

CarlMetro

5th July 2007, 23:58

Yeah, of course you are :p :

djarumdudley

6th July 2007, 05:16

well he was when he possesed coveted item like the last word.

LeonBrooke

6th July 2007, 08:11

Still do, still am :D

CarlMetro

6th July 2007, 10:14

Still am what?

DonnieDarco

6th July 2007, 13:35

What? :D

CarlMetro

6th July 2007, 14:18

When :confused:

schmenke

6th July 2007, 19:05

The LW tires of all this nonsense.

MrJan

6th July 2007, 19:39

After all the thousands of times the LW has been had (in the original and this thread) I don't think it has ever tired of nonsense. It's the soul of the LW itself.

DonnieDarco

6th July 2007, 20:34

Like wow man, that was deep :D

djarumdudley

6th July 2007, 21:24

the last word goes existential.

schmenke

6th July 2007, 23:05

The LW goes with me.

DonnieDarco

7th July 2007, 00:20

Not for long :D

CarlMetro

7th July 2007, 01:18

no, because it wants some of my cornflakes :D

DonnieDarco

7th July 2007, 04:36

My Jordans muesli is better :D

CarlMetro

8th July 2007, 00:53

Eww! :vomit: Tonight sanity has returned to the munching LW, big delivery from Tescos today, complete with three large boxes of Cheerios :lips: :up:

DonnieDarco

8th July 2007, 01:03

You have a Cheerios problem :D

CarlMetro

8th July 2007, 01:15

If I ate Musili the I'd have stomach problems ;)

djarumdudley

8th July 2007, 05:00

the last word shant be anywhere near that.

stevie_gerrard

8th July 2007, 05:11

wont it now?

LeonBrooke

8th July 2007, 08:01

It'll be with me :D

Captain VXR

8th July 2007, 10:40

Nope with me haha :p

Rollo

8th July 2007, 13:58

No, you'll have to wait your turn in the peloton like everyone else.

DonnieDarco

8th July 2007, 20:01

The wha? :D

djarumdudley

8th July 2007, 20:03

your turn has ended.

DonnieDarco

8th July 2007, 20:11

Dammit! I just got here! :D

CarlMetro

8th July 2007, 23:54

Are you still here? Or have you gone to a far off place, in a galaxy far far away?

stevie_gerrard

8th July 2007, 23:59

me and the LW just been to the forum pub :)

CarlMetro

9th July 2007, 00:01

Yeah, where you splashed out and bought it a glass of water..............last of the big spenders eh Stevie? :p :

DonnieDarco

9th July 2007, 00:15

Are you still here? Or have you gone to a far off place, in a galaxy far far away?

Well..........I did doze off on the sofa for a bit :D

CarlMetro

9th July 2007, 00:16

Were you watching the tennis highlights?

DonnieDarco

9th July 2007, 01:51

No, although it does have the same effect :D

Rollo

9th July 2007, 06:25

Would they by any chance involve Miss Hingis?

LeonBrooke

9th July 2007, 07:14

I wasn't watching any tennis that involved her :D

Rollo

9th July 2007, 08:10

I'll bet you were watching a video of Sharapova, recorded at normal speed and then played back in Long Play mode, thereby making an hour match last for five...

I see through your little pervy game. No wait, I endorse your little pervy game :D

CarlMetro

9th July 2007, 10:39

Glad to know I'm not the only one then :D

Donney

9th July 2007, 10:45

My LW after some time, we got some catching up to do.

:)

CarlMetro

9th July 2007, 10:47

It doesn't like anymore, since you deserted it for a whole week :s hock:

Donney

9th July 2007, 11:09

It looks like someone has taken in lessons in the University of Wrong!

DonnieDarco

9th July 2007, 12:44

Welcome back Donney, I trust Brighton was satisfactory? :D

CarlMetro

9th July 2007, 13:42

It looks like someone has taken in lessons in the University of Wrong!

Nope. Never been there myself. I guess you trip to this green and pleasant land was to go and collect you online learning certificate from there? Did it smell as bad as they say it does?

Donney

9th July 2007, 18:48

Welcome back Donney, I trust Brighton was satisfactory? :D

It certainly was DD, I have to admit yours is a green and pleasant land.
I think I should visit your shores more often.

A shame the LW does not like it as much.

About my degree, Mr. Metro, if that was the case I would receive my receive via mail so again your command of wrongness is frankly impressive. The smell... well let's say I did not see many cats around.

CarlMetro

9th July 2007, 19:34

That's cos most of them are in Winchester ;)

DonnieDarco

9th July 2007, 19:48

And who can blame them? Its right posh 'ere, innit? :D

schmenke

9th July 2007, 20:11

Too posh for the LW...

MrJan

9th July 2007, 20:37

Whoooooooooooooooooooooo?!!

LeonBrooke

9th July 2007, 22:34

Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrreee eeeeeeeeeeeee?!!

Rollo

9th July 2007, 23:26

Air raid! Air raid!

Quick, everyone into the shelter before Johnny Foreigner bombs the Sweet Holy Batman On A Stick out of us :eek:

LeonBrooke

9th July 2007, 23:29

My name's not Johnny :mad:

Rollo

10th July 2007, 01:30

But you still intend to bomb Sweet Holy Batman On A Stick out of us? That's not terribly civil.

CarlMetro

10th July 2007, 07:52

Batman on a stick, is that like a strawberry mivvy?

Donney

10th July 2007, 10:40

The LW is not a fan of batman.

DonnieDarco

10th July 2007, 11:30

Holy salmon Donney!! Why not? :D

CarlMetro

10th July 2007, 11:51

It prefers the Fantastic Four, but will watch Batman if nothing else is on ;)

DonnieDarco

10th July 2007, 11:56

The old TV series of Batman rocks, its hilarious :D

Mp3 Astra

10th July 2007, 14:33

I liked Spiderman myself. It used to be on every morning at half six on Channel 4. It's gone now, however...
The LW has come home to the master.

CarlMetro

10th July 2007, 15:17

Captain VXR

10th July 2007, 16:55

the lw has no time for forms; where can I apply for the university of wrong?

Donney

10th July 2007, 17:14

Carl is the right person to ask. ;)

CarlMetro

10th July 2007, 19:52

Well Donny is a graduate but the real supremo is DD ;)

schmenke

10th July 2007, 20:13

Sounds like Carl is on form... :dozey:

DonnieDarco

10th July 2007, 21:04

He's always about, that one :D

CarlMetro

10th July 2007, 23:31

:wave: :D

Rollo

10th July 2007, 23:39

Personally I'm still not entirely sure about using the shortened version "DD" for Ms Darco's name. I'm afraid that all that time spent at the counter of Lewis' might have done something to my fragile little mind.

Would DonnieDarcoTwo be shortened to DDT?

CarlMetro

10th July 2007, 23:43

Perhaps she is a real DD :cheese: Although I've always said anything more than a handfull is a waste :D

stevie_gerrard

10th July 2007, 23:48

me and the LW are not liking this new layout of the forum

CarlMetro

11th July 2007, 01:13

It's like you not having the LW, something you will have to get used to :p :

DonnieDarco

11th July 2007, 02:58

I am not a real DD, thank goodness! Would be such a pain when running for a bus :D

The concern is so moving though ;)

DonnieDarco

11th July 2007, 02:59

me and the LW are not liking this new layout of the forum

Stevie, I cannot win!!! Hate the default forum, with all the crap at the top. Can't stand the new look forum, though everything is where I want it. I do wish they'd stop faffing about :D

djarumdudley

11th July 2007, 04:41

might be my first last word in this newfangle forum design

Donney

11th July 2007, 09:48

And was it any good?

CarlMetro

11th July 2007, 10:36

having the LW is always good :D

Donney

11th July 2007, 10:48

Not that you are an expert on such matter.

CarlMetro

11th July 2007, 11:18

Nice to see you're using your new found skills to great use ;)

Donney

11th July 2007, 11:29

I don't need any new skills since the LW is, and has always been, mine. :)

DonnieDarco

11th July 2007, 12:00

Except that its not :D

Donney

11th July 2007, 12:34

Ooooh yessssh!

It definitely is.

Mp3 Astra

11th July 2007, 14:19

I hope you have a) a reasonable excuse for your prolonged and unapproved absence, and more importantly b) filled out the correct returning to active service forms, including 301, 311 & 307c (excluding paragraph 19 unless space travel was involved) and had the required booster innoculations before returning?

Well I do have an excuse, exams. I did fill out some forms, however I have no idea what they were and I'm worried that they were corrupt since there are 4 barristers and 7 Judges' wigs outside my door telling me that they want to talk to me about my copyright claim on the Robin Reliant.
The booster inoculations? Well my kitten bit me yesterday so I probably got immune to something through that. Haven't been to space, but did watch James May's show about it yesterday, so that kind of counts.

Mein LW

Captain VXR

11th July 2007, 16:14

Right Carl I need those forms ASAP :)

Donney

11th July 2007, 17:39

That should keep you busy.

schmenke

11th July 2007, 18:03

The LW and myself are busy enjoying the sunshine :)

CarlMetro

11th July 2007, 23:35

I was enjoying the delights of chasing a little white ball into a hole with various metal sticks earlier today :D

Mp3 Astra

11th July 2007, 23:53

Those poor balls! :(

CarlMetro

12th July 2007, 00:16

Nah, it's what they're born to do. I'm told if you listen close enough you can here them cheer with glee as they sail through the air ;)

Rollo

12th July 2007, 04:58

Sounds a bit masochistic if you want my opinion.

You know playing golf is very much like making love to a beautiful woman. First of all clean your balls, then get a good grip on your shaft. Make sure that you get a good follow through and be careful that your aiming for the right hole :D

djarumdudley

12th July 2007, 09:03

is the aim really all that important?

Donney

12th July 2007, 10:39

The LW is not into golf.

CarlMetro

12th July 2007, 12:33

I didn't say it was :p :

Donney

12th July 2007, 14:41

Just in case...

Rollo

12th July 2007, 14:53

He was a detective was he not?

CarlMetro

12th July 2007, 14:56

Who? Justin Case? Dunno but I knew his sister Vanity.........

schmenke

12th July 2007, 16:34

...be careful that your aiming for the right hole :D

Yes but you at least get several attempts at the hole :p :

DonnieDarco

12th July 2007, 18:49

I refuse to discuss any of that on the grounds it could get me into trouble :D

MrJan

12th July 2007, 18:58

Definately a bit close today.

CarlMetro

12th July 2007, 19:06

Which is more than some of my puts were yesterday :s

DonnieDarco

12th July 2007, 20:48

So you suck at golf too then Carl ;) :D

CarlMetro

12th July 2007, 23:55

Put it this way, the rabbits were in more danger than the course record was yesterday :\

LeonBrooke

13th July 2007, 00:18

Poor rabbits

CarlMetro

13th July 2007, 01:33

Talking of rabbits, there was a little baby one sitting besides the 8th tee. It was so cute and it was obviously the product of a domestic rabbit because it was pure black.

LeonBrooke

13th July 2007, 01:50

Did you take it home to use as a familiar? :D

Rollo

13th July 2007, 03:16

I think that the best name for a rabbit would be Stewart.

DonnieDarco

13th July 2007, 03:36

Or Dave :D

Rollo

13th July 2007, 06:20

The name Stewart is good because it tells you what is best done with a rabbit... stew it. To the best of my knowledge, I don't know how to "dave" anything.

Donney

13th July 2007, 09:49

We are fine as long as you don't stew the LW.

CarlMetro

13th July 2007, 10:23

My TFI Friday LW.

DonnieDarco

13th July 2007, 10:33

The name Stewart is good because it tells you what is best done with a rabbit... stew it. To the best of my knowledge, I don't know how to "dave" anything.

Look you, I know a parrot called Dave, and if it works for him it can work for a rabbit. :D

Besides, I've never eaten rabbit in my entire life and I never will.

CarlMetro

13th July 2007, 10:38

You don't know what you're missing, by far the nicest stew you can ever eat ;)

Donney

13th July 2007, 11:10

Rabbit tastes great DD you should give it a try.

CarlMetro

13th July 2007, 12:53

Especially if you've caught it fresh :lips:

schmenke

13th July 2007, 15:25

What did you do Carl, club it to death with your 9-iron? :mark:

CarlMetro

13th July 2007, 16:13

Nah, my 9 is useful, 5 wood on the other hand.......... ;)

DonnieDarco

13th July 2007, 16:33

Men :D

schmenke

13th July 2007, 16:44

The best thing about being a man is that we can pee just about anywhere... :D

DonnieDarco

13th July 2007, 16:49

Yes that has always annoyed me, since its such a pain for women caught short :D

Btw Schmenke, hows sprog to be number two coming along? All proceeding well I trust? :D

stevie_gerrard

13th July 2007, 19:21

nothing beats Duck i'm afraid, even though i haven't had rabbit for a while. :p :

Captain VXR

13th July 2007, 19:41

Can I have some stewed leek?

DonnieDarco

13th July 2007, 21:23

nothing beats Duck i'm afraid, even though i haven't had rabbit for a while.

I won't ever eat duck either :D Not that I mind what anyone else chooses to eat, because I don't. And before anyone asks, veal and venison are permanently off my menu too, as is lamb. :D

Schmenke - I'm a plank, but that's the only time you'll ever get such an admission :D

CarlMetro

14th July 2007, 01:44

I'm not saying anything :p :

DonnieDarco

14th July 2007, 02:07

That makes a pleasant change :p :

CarlMetro

14th July 2007, 02:11

Oi! I was going to be nice to you but I may have to change my mind now ;(

Rollo

14th July 2007, 02:41

The best thing about being a man is that we can pee just about anywhere... :D

Although I have never actually set foot in Mexico, last time I was in the US I weed into that country from San Diego.

DonnieDarco

14th July 2007, 08:51

Blimey Rollo, that was some night out :D

NoahsGirl

14th July 2007, 19:45

It most certainly was!

CarlMetro

15th July 2007, 02:34

You were there too NG? Did you do the same or did you prefer to use a publi convenience?

Rollo

15th July 2007, 04:09

Scottish people can wee into England without much bother... in fact they've done it again with the new Prime Minister.

LeonBrooke

15th July 2007, 07:48

So, what's the consensus about Gordon Brown?

Rollo

15th July 2007, 13:30

Gordon Brown? Texture like sun?

DonnieDarco

15th July 2007, 13:58

Always a frown, with Gordon Brown :D

Donney

15th July 2007, 14:25

Always a smile with the LW :)

Captain VXR

15th July 2007, 15:52

Yep its making me feel better after Gio and Chilton's weekend ;(

Another insightful comment from Miguel :D

Rollo

16th July 2007, 01:07

He's talking Skat!

Which is a departure from his usual Scat :eek:

CarlMetro

16th July 2007, 08:24

You mean kak?

Anyhoo, I'm currently sitting at an airoport, waiting on a delayed flight to take me to the Fatherland for the best part of this week. I might have a few probs in logging on so I'm trusting you all to look after my LW while I'm gone.

:wave:

Donney

16th July 2007, 10:23

The LW will be fine with me, don't worry about that and have a good week.

DonnieDarco

16th July 2007, 11:35

Have a good trip Carl :D Where you going? Fatherland doesn't really help me :D

Donney

16th July 2007, 14:32

Is it anywhere near LWland?

Captain VXR

16th July 2007, 16:42

Im looking after the lw for Carl. Nah nah nah nah nah nah :D

schmenke

16th July 2007, 19:19

Not for long...

Rollo

17th July 2007, 01:39

Im looking after the lw for Carl. Nah nah nah nah nah nah :D

No it's:
Nah nah nah nah, Nah nah nah nah, Hey hey hey. Goodbye.

Not enough nahs and no heys from you. Please try harder.

stevie_gerrard

17th July 2007, 09:45

my LW

Donney

17th July 2007, 10:55

The LW has had enough of your company. :D

schmenke

17th July 2007, 16:04

And yours :p :

Captain VXR

17th July 2007, 17:31

And yours + Rollo-Nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah hey hey hey hey goodbye :p

DonnieDarco

17th July 2007, 19:40

Thats still wrong, and now you have to complete form 7348829b, to prove you are in control of your faculties :D

schmenke

17th July 2007, 20:52

And don't forget form 5H177Y to prove that you are in control of your bowels.

MrJan

17th July 2007, 20:56

I'm not sure that I am in control of my bowels. I blame the museli, it's always the museli.

DonnieDarco

17th July 2007, 22:12

Have some bananas :D

MrJan

17th July 2007, 22:29

Are you calling me a monkey? Anyways there is no way I'm having bananas from you, far too high a urine content for my liking :p : :D

schmenke

17th July 2007, 22:47

DD's bananas should be o.k. as long as you remove the pee(l).

:mark:

LeonBrooke

17th July 2007, 23:33

Does anyone remember the Top Gear episode where they discuss peeling a cow?

DonnieDarco

18th July 2007, 01:06

Miguel, I have never nor will I ever, pee on bananas :D

I don't remember that Leon, but I wouldn't put it past them :D

Rollo

18th July 2007, 02:00

But yes, we have no bananas. We have no bananas today.

schmenke

18th July 2007, 04:21

How does one peel a cow? :cornfused:

Donney

18th July 2007, 10:38

I'll consult the LW about it, but I don't think we will find an answer.

DonnieDarco

18th July 2007, 14:32

I would imagine that you peel a cow....................very slowly :D

schmenke

18th July 2007, 15:26

That's udderly ridiculous.

Captain VXR

18th July 2007, 16:23

The lw hates puns you monster :mad:
Form 7348829b completed Donnie'Catwee'Darco :)

DonnieDarco

18th July 2007, 17:11

In triplicate I hope :p :

LeonBrooke

18th July 2007, 23:16

so quintuplicate is unnecessary?

Rollo

19th July 2007, 01:23

Please send the fourth form to:

HM Inland Revenue

triumphant return to the last word.

LeonBrooke

19th July 2007, 03:44

...by me

Rollo

19th July 2007, 04:56

Too bad that the hopes and fears of all the years are dashed from thee tonight.

LeonBrooke

19th July 2007, 04:59

Not really; Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows comes out on Saturday, so everything is right in the world.

DonnieDarco

19th July 2007, 09:26

Yep, will be queueing at midnight for it :D

LeonBrooke

19th July 2007, 09:31

For me it'll be 11:01 am on Saturday.

It's very exciting, but it'll be sad to finish the series...

DonnieDarco

19th July 2007, 09:33

I know!!! I'm also desperately hoping Harry doesn't die, too. My son was a little boy when we started reading these, now he's 16!

I should add to this please, no spoilers :D I'm aware there's been possible leakage, but I've avoided it all up to now :D

LeonBrooke

19th July 2007, 10:00

Don't worry, I hate spoilers, so I won't be posting any.

I think Harry won't die. Maybe Ron, but not Hermione or Harry. Everything's changed now - we have no idea about the structure of the story.

I think the best movie was the fourth one.

DonnieDarco

19th July 2007, 10:49

Well, we know Harry has to go find and destroy those pieces of Voldemort's soul in order to kill him.

And we know he's unlikely to be returning to Hogwarts :D

Donney

19th July 2007, 11:04

Yep, yep, it all makes sense now.... :rolleyes:

DonnieDarco

19th July 2007, 11:07

Sorry Donney, but we like HP, and its not against the law to discuss it ;) :D

CarlMetro

19th July 2007, 16:01

Where you going?
Germany, and I've just got back :wave:

Sadly, despite everyone's wishes for me to have a good trip, it wasn't ;( But heyho there you go :)

DonnieDarco

19th July 2007, 17:57

Never mind Carl, you're back now :D

schmenke

19th July 2007, 19:26

What happened Carl?

CarlMetro

19th July 2007, 20:30

I quit is what happened. I have gotten sick of spending too much time away in hotels and not seeing any benefit or receieving any thanks for doing so, so I found another job and quit my current one.

Lets just say that my resignation didn't get too good a reception ;)

MrJan

19th July 2007, 20:51

That's strange Carl, usually receptions for resignations are joyous occassions with lots of cheering, drinking and dancing. People love a good resignation party, at least they do when I quit :( ;)

DonnieDarco

19th July 2007, 21:40

Carl changes jobs more often than the rest of us have had hot dinners :D

CarlMetro

19th July 2007, 23:25

Now that's not really true is it? Unless you eat a lot of salads down there at the school of wrongness :p :

Mp3 Astra

19th July 2007, 23:42

Blimey Carl, more time for sitting on the lawn with your laptop, listening to the thwack of leather upon willow on the radio, no?

Rollo

19th July 2007, 23:42

So it's actually Harry Potter that everyone's talking about eh? I received a text message telling me that "ppl q'ing 4 new HP" and thought that it had to do with Russians standing outside of their local supermarket for the new release of brown sauce.

It all makes sense now.

Mp3 Astra

19th July 2007, 23:45

Brown sauce is definitely something worth queuing for!

CarlMetro

19th July 2007, 23:46

Yes but sadly not for long. As with any new job I've got to put a bit of effort it when I first start and by the time I can sit at home again I fear the cricket season will be over. Still, first test at Lords and the Open golf should keep me busy tomorrow :D

Mp3 Astra

19th July 2007, 23:47

Try and listen to both at the same time. Unfortunately I can't think of any gags to do with cricket and golf right now. Gutted!

CarlMetro

20th July 2007, 00:33

Oh well, never mind :D

Rollo

20th July 2007, 00:54

You'll just have to form part of the queue then.

I note that during the cricket yesterday, there were people wearing Spanish football shirts, all with "Giles 29" on the back, despite him not actually being in the test squad.
