    :eek: :eek: :eek:

    I just got one of those emails, the one where they say watch this advert for a car that didn't make the TV cos there was a ghostly apparition (sp?) at the end that they couldn't explain, if you turn the sound up loud you can hear the camera man whispering at the end. The ad started and it was serene music with a car driving through the countryside. I'm sat here thinking I hope it's not one of them emails where the scary face pops up and screams.....and what happens :rolleyes: Scared the bejaysus outta me, I nearly screamed and my heart actually hit my teeth...heart still beating furiously. After all the crimewatch/ghost talk I can not honestly now go to the kitchen to make coffee.

  • Hi BB

    Just reading your signature........

    I'ld like to do that Kilimanjiro climb. Saw an advertisement for it a few years ago and thought about it. Have seen one for it again in the last few weeks. The problem is, with a young family it just isn't realistic to P**s off for a couple of weeks of trekking.

    Never mind, maybe when the little darlings are old enough I can take them out of school for a bit of life experience :eek: or do it in the summer holidays :A

    Jo here you go:
    :coffee::coffee::coffee:
    That should keep you going or awake me thinks, I have an idea log onto you tube and watch paddington bear. He's not scary at all.

    Trc yes I am a massive Moyles fan, caught it off my Ds. It is hard to do things for yourself when you have small children. My Ds has now graduated from university last year. I had him when I was 21 and I will be 45 in March and I am still deciding what to do with my life?

    Any Lurkers care to join in before midnight?
    Ok scaring myself now. :rotfl:

    Big hugs xxxxxxxxxxxxx
    Cherish the ones you love and travel back on the road that brings you home :)

    I like 95% of what Chris Moyles does...but at the moment I don't listen to him. ANd the reason is I really dislike the other 5%.

    It is when he is just downright crude on the radio. I listened to him burping and being a prat on the radio and gave up and moved to fivelive. then I saw him on the tele for some reason and thought I'ld missed the banter I'll give him another go - and on the very morning I tuned in he was burping again...Sounds silly I know but personally I just find it grotesque and not remotely funny, so I think he has lost me as a listener...


    ...its a shame cos often I was driving to work literally crying with laughter...

    Reminds me when I was a little girl, I used to turn off the landing light and run like hell to my bedroom. My little heart was pounding.
    Btw I live in a bungalow now.
    Oh and forgot to say Love the full monty, thinking of the 31 ?????

    Trc I agree with the crude bits but I ignore those, what really really troubles me is when the Chris Moyles team are on holiday and I have to go to work with Scott Mills I mean really! I am so used to coming home with him at night, it just leaves me back to front for the whole day.

    Ntc yes I hope they do well to, fingers crossed xxxxxxxxx
