The chap in this picture (can't show it here cos it's restricted access) has the most odd nob I've ever seen. This is supposed to be a romantic shot, but it looks rude to me. It's quite SFW by the way.

Anyone see Bonekickers on the Beeb tonight? What a load of tosh. The plot had more holes than Brock's string vest.

It's getting a lot of stick on the Terry Wogan show on Radio 2 this morning. I suppose it's OK if you don't take it too seriously, but there are some laughably inexplicable bits to watch out for. I won't spoil it for you. ;0)

But when you've watched it, have a look at the Bonekickers Forum.
Posted by Miki, around 9th July 2008:
 
yep, that was pathetic
the most horrible bit was where the evil guy came swoooooping down the rappel rope ffs

I did really love the older guys line 'for the sake of Jehovah, can we go to the pub'

we'll probably watch it again though, as steve thought the knights outweighed the crapness

NB There is a picture of some sheep on the page, just in case you don't know what they look like.

Yeah, hundreds of arieophiles are probably whacking off to that even as I type.

Bacon Cocktails!
Why Pork?
The pork Martini serves many needs on many levels! In these pomo days, when old formulas are reborn with futile twists for our fickle, fin-de-siècle tastes, the meat cocktail stands out above wobbly, cranberry-tainted attempts at bar trendiness. When one abandons the olive garnish for that of a pork-rind wedge, the pork Martini merges the flavors of the working class with that of wealthier ones, bridging social strata. It has the humanitarian goal of bettering the nutrition of alcoholics, offering protein for those who prefer their lunches liquid: since meat digests longer, it will both inebriate and offer nutrients for longer periods! It will open new markets to pork consumption, adding American jobs to every level of the meat-industrial complex. And, finally, it looks really weird.

Choice of 4 flavours.
