Happy Birthday mate!

ahem

How about this?

Took the kids to see Narnia this afternoon, great film, training tonight, laaaaaazy day with the family tomorrow, a club handicapped 4 mile race on Boxing Day and coaching on Tueasday, my birthday. All the running means I can eat, eat eat and drink to my hearts content.

Happy Christmas to all. Hopefully I'll get to the Cell next year.

QUOTE(Texsox @ Dec 24, 2005 -> 12:18 AM) Thank you how about this one? No problem, I'll get to it over the next couple of days.

Contreras World Series Garcia AL Champs AJ Crede Duke LINK to the rest.

I can add "Chicago Dogs " to any of my previous walls and resize to 10x8 if you would like, just let me know which one(s) you would like.

In no particular order; Greg lake - I believe in Father Christmas Nat King Cole - The Christmas Song The Pogues - Fairytale Of New York These are guaranteed to get me in the mood.

Nice idea.

How about Harry Nilssons"Good Old Desk." My Good Old Desk- by Harry Nilsson Oowah Oowah ah ah ah-ah Oowah Oowah ah My old desk doesn’t arabesque, in the morning when I first arrive. It’s a pleasure to see it's waiting there for me to keep my hopes alive. Such a comfort to know it’s got no place to go, it’s always there. It’s the one thing I’ve got, a huge success, my Good Old Desk. My old desk never needs a rest, and I’ve never once heard it cry. I’ve never seen it tease, it’s always there to please me from nine to five. Such a comfort to know, it's dependable and slow, but it’s always there. It’s the one friend I’ve got, a giant of all times, my Good Old Desk. Oowah Oowah ah ah ah-ah Oowah Oowah ah My old desk isn’t picturesque, but it’s happy as a desk can be. We never say a word, but it’s perfectly alright with me. For when my heart's on the floor, I just open the drawer of my favorite guest. And what do I see? But a picture of me working at my Good Old Desk. Oowah Oowah ah ah ah-ah Oowah Oowah ah Nice song btw

QUOTE(Flash Tizzle @ Dec 10, 2005 -> 12:21 AM) I intended for my post to satirize the issue. I've felt similar sentiments regarding people drawing politics into a fictionalized movie. Specifically, boards on IMDB highlight the odd obsession some have with media outlets heavily publicizing a movie featuring subtle, religious elements. None of which openly promote Christianity. Point taken, GREEN would have helped.

QUOTE(Milkman delivers @ Dec 10, 2005 -> 12:23 AM) I thought I read somewhere that Tolkien was friends with the person that wrote Narnia. When Tolkien wrote a story with political undertones, Narnia's writer wrote one with religious undertones. Tolkien fell out with Lewis in a big way over his use of Father Christmas in the book.

QUOTE(Flash Tizzle @ Dec 9, 2005 -> 09:14 PM) I AINT SEEING NO DAMN CHRISTIAN MOVIE!!! Did you not see any of the Lord of the Rings movies then? I'm amazed how America has to politicise EVERYTHING. It's just a farie tale, yes there are religious overtones in it, but so are there in many other "much loved" films. On the theme of death and resurection; E.T , Lord of the Rings (Gandalf the Grey / White) and even Star Wars used it to great effect. I'm taking my kids to see it on Christmas Eve.

All I can tell you is that while my wife was in the US forces we had a close freind who when they both left the army married a Jehovah's Witness. Over the years her letters to us changed to the point where we are no longer able to write directly to her and all the letters to us are from them both but written by her husband. The tone of the letters got stranger and stranger until, I'm sad to say, we no longer read them. It seams to be a very difficult religeon ( cult is too strong a word ) to understand. From what we can gather from other freinds she does seem to be very happy with the situation, but the outgoing freind we had no longer exists.

I'll cut to the chase. My wife arranged for a "free" carpet clean that we had "won". Along comes a fella with a Kirby vac and cleans our carpets, does a great job. Then the hard sell (FYI I've been in sales for 20+ years myself) the opening price was £3000+ after much back and forth his "boss" (via telephone) offered a returned one for £450, he left without a sale. We bought a Dyson for £250, this was four years ago and it has never failed. While I agree the Kirby is the best vacuum cleaner made, who in their right mind would spend that kind of money on something to clean the carpet?

Here's one I was working on towards the end of the season, I'm not sure if the Spanish is a bit of a cliché. Hope you like it.

Not sure about "sweetest", but both Bjork and Kate Bush have two of the most interesting voices around.

Times Article Even from an English, non Manchester United fan, we will never see his like again.

After further thoughts, you realy can't leave of "I Will". Perfect tone and lyrics.

My sons favourite is Maxwells Silver Hammer, I'm not sure what this says about him though. My chidhood favourites were Yellow sub' and Octopus's Garden.

QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ Nov 19, 2005 -> 05:45 AM) Pork pie! My gosh, thanks for showing a picture and providing a definition -- I've read Great Expectations twice (well, actually, am in the process of reading it the second time), and I always tried to picture in my mind what exactly a 'pork pie' was when Pip steals it for the convict. Amazing... Glad to be of assistance.

QUOTE(Mercy! @ Nov 18, 2005 -> 11:37 PM) Plod, that looks like what we call a Pot Pie. Now you're talking good eatin'. OMG, I just read the recipe. The "anchovy essence" convinced me you know whereof you speak. Looks tasty. Hope you weren't just kidding. When it comes to food, I never joke. They were the first fast food around here, with the water pastry miners could take them to eat at work, similar to the Pastie in the south. If anyone ever gets over here, try to catch them when they're still warm and the jelly is still liquis mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.

QUOTE(kapkomet @ Nov 18, 2005 -> 10:40 PM) There's too many ways to take this, so I'll just bow out of the thread now. Pork Pie; A succulent nugget of minced pork, cradled in flavoursome stock jelly, wrapped in crisp water pastry. Heavenly. Click, read and marvel.
