    VAT please and must share this bit of silliness

    4 people in the carriage of a train - an Englishman, a pretty young blonde girl, an ugly old woman and a Frenchman.

    It all goes dark when the train goes through a tunnel. In the dark there's the sound of an almighty slap, and when the train emerges from the tunnel the Frenchman is rubbing his face, and there's a huge red mark on his cheek.

    The old lady thinks "I bet that Frenchman fondled the blonde in the dark and she slapped him"

    The pretty young blonde thinks " I bet the Frenchman tried to fondle me in the dark, got the old lady by mistake, and she hit him"

    The Frenchman thinks "I bet that Englishman fondled the blonde in the dark, but the blonde thought it was me and hit me"

    The Englishman thinks "I hope there's another tunnel coming up soon so I can slap that French !!!! again"

    I'll have a pint of Löwenbräu.

    Can't stick around long, but congrats on coming to a decision you are happy with.

    Sometimes it seems that people sacrifice too much just to get a bit of paper that says the BANK owns your house.:D

    Evening all, good decision on the house Mike. Have seen the pics and the penthouse looks very impressive. It will probably do you both good to have a fresh start especially as it is close to people you know

    I went out tonight!!!!!!!!

    WH-HOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!

    2 bottles of wine (quite nice stuff, gone in the rack for later) and a pint from a mate just to go out and judge some comedy!

    Thats the way to do it! Comedy and freebies... Wh-hoooooooooooo!!!

    Almost made up for a really sh*ty day at work, almost.

    PLUS a friend of mine (a Perrier award winning comedian who has had 3 or 4 pilots made for series and had a few final round auditions for Hollywood films with "right to recall" and dates booked for future auditions on other projects) knows I'm a writer has asked me to co-write two pitch scripts he has been asked to do by the BBC!!!!!!!! RESULT!!! Of course I've said I'll take the co-writing credit but that he'll have to pay me cash if anything comes of it due to BR coming up.

    Oooo Mike, got to admit I'm a bit concerned about tonight.....all those supporters in Athens with no tickets and I hear they're going to turn the big screens off in the town once the match kicks off.
