  1. When I was flying to New York, 8 hours each way was more than enough time to read it cover to cover and also start on another tome
  2. Room 101 is a programme here on BBC2 in which irritating "celebrities" talk about things they would like to rid the world of. If they argue their case well enough then the offending "article" is consigned to Room 101. Room 101 actually comes from the George Orwell book called 1984. It's a place of torture in the basement of the "love ministry" and it houses each individulas worst possible nightmare. In the book the "hero" Winston Smith is eventually sent there for having "free thoughts" and his own nightmare is to have his face eaten off by starving rats - I'll not tell you anymore in case you decide to read the book, as it would spoil the end. Considering the book was written nearly 60 years ago, it's actually quite bizarre how he predicted that everything we do, see and pretty much think will be dictated by the government and media............. Anyway, I only read it about 6 months ago, and it gets the CWP thumbs up for "good books to read on a plane"
  3. Chris Evans actually had the cheek to play that on the radio today...............even worse he interviewed the "lead singer". It is tipped to go to #1 when it is properly released. What is the world coming to?
  4. That didn't last very long, I thought it was quite a good idea as well
  5. The only reason I completed it is because I was bored. From start to finish I did the whole thing in 4 hours, what a load of old pap. It is now in the local charity shop
  6. People who say "You simply must go skiing, you'll have a great time".
  7. I've just finished reading Alan Brazils autobiography, it is absolutely crap, don't get that one.
  8. I'll have a look over the next few hours and then advise you of the winner
  9. I ended up having 10 e/w, and it came 4th of 18 Willhill.com ended up returning me ?45 as I had taken the odds of 15.0 Cheers Enzo, I owe you a beer! I'm sure Mr Zozzy is also equally as happy p.s. I was especially pleased as I didn't think I would get paid for 4th place
  10. I'll have a tickle for fun as well..............?5 E/W
  11. Over short periods of time, I agree that property prices can go down as well as up, but as TSO is talking about when he retires, I presume we are looking at 20-25 years away (assuming a retiring age of 55-60ish) - over that period of time, the property value is highly unlikely to go down. Alternatively Missus C could push him down the stairs, and then claim on the life insurance/mortgage protection policies - then she need never worry about being short of cash in her old age I certainly believe that TSO has the right idea, as he is self employed. I am employed, and as such my circumstances are different in respect that what ever I contribute to a personal pension, my company match, I can also claim back tax relief on the contributions as well, so it makes sense for me to continue with my personal pension....................although Mrs CWP is also hassling to buy a second property to rent out as well
  12. Agreed, ?99 for kids is a great idea. I seem to remember my ST when I was about 15 was ?58, but that was in c1988..............although I did get to see such players as Steve Thompson, Trevor Morgan, Ian Stevens and Julian Darby
  13. Didn't our reserves lose virtually every game a couple of seasons ago?
  14. Definitely, she would have to leave them on
  15. link doesn't seem to work Bolty..............
  16. She does look a lot better in the scond photograph, apparently she is Algerian and is called Wahiba Belhami....................if anybody is interested
  17. I agree with PMW, I see him staying at least one more season and then possibly clearing off for c?12M. If he was to leave, he would want European competition I would have thought, so that rules out Juventus and Newcastle
  18. She truely is a splendid monument to womanhood. A fine specimen...............but then so are all the ladies from that fine popband.............even the ginger
  19. an essential part of any girls wardrobe
  20. doesn't a regular poster on here have a sotry about one of his mates stuffing it up her muck pipe?
