It was an advert?!
Well there you go - I thought it was just a random phrase.

Winner winner chicken dinner!

Yes to "risk it for a biscuit"

There was a young man from Nepal
Who went to a fancy dress ball.
He thought he would risk it
To go as a biscuit,
But a dog ate him up in the hall!

we left the uk in 2001. Early to mid 90s I was at uni watching way too much tv......

Chickity China the Chinese chicken
You have a drumstick and your brain stops tickin'
Watchin' X-Files with no lights on
We're dans la maison
I hope the Smoking Man's in this one
Like Harrison Ford I'm getting frantic
Like Sting I'm tantric
Like Snickers, guaranteed to satisfy

Like Kurasawa I make mad films
OK I don't make films
But if I did they'd have a samurai.

Gonna get a set of better clubs
Gonna find the kind with tiny nubs just so my
irons aren't always flying off the back-swing
Gotta get in tune with Sailor Moon
Cause that cartoon has got the boom anime babes
that make me think the wrong thing

Much as I've practiced, I still can't do that really fast part without stumbling. Ed Robertson...da man!

(swoonage!)

I have absolutely no fucking idea what you guys are on about. But whatever you're smoking, I'll have some of it!

Wish I could stop time and read all of these posts. *grabs hair* Argh! I need a break.

Priorities man, priorities. ;)

The behaviour of a certain 9yo boy :(

Get All Shouty and Smacky on his Young ASS !!!

I got a little shouty but no smacky and very fucking punitive. We've pretty much reached the conclusion that, in general, punishments just don't work with him, but this was too big to be ignored. He has spent the whole day only being allowed to draw, write, do chores or hockey stick handling drills. No toys, no games, no computers and definitely no reading. It was Banana Lady's day to take them all to the toystore, though, and she would have been upset if we banned him from going. So we let him go, but he wasn't allowed to touch/play in the store. he got to choose and he can't play with it until tomorrow and then only IF he's an angel at school. yes, he was that bad.

Sorry to hear that Monster.
Sounds like you're doing the best you can without getting smacky.

Looks like Dana, Limey and I won't get to see John Barrowman on the 9th.
Today is the 3rd and he is still off with what is being rumoured as pleurisy. And as soon as he finishes Panto, he's off to the US for 6 months filming Torchwood - so he has to be well rested. Doing two pantos a day even if he is recovering is hardly counted as rest.

I am resigning myself to it now, as I am resigned to the fact my clothes probably won't arrive in time either :(
I don't know if this will help with the eventual disappointment or whether I am denying myself four-six days of excitement instead...
