Yeah I blew that bet! Sore head this morning.....

Not forum safe!! I thought looking for a funny Kermit pic might be pretty "work safe" - apparently not!! In one pic there's a three-way between the woman, Kermit and Swedish Chef!! Scary stuff! For the Kermit curious - Google images try: Kermit shave

A last indulgence, sorry!

USA v Czech Republic coming up! Love Czechs (Prague = beer! Was there last summer), but best of luck to USA!! I've got money on the US getting a draw here - fingers crossed! Cheers!! (Happy man!!)

HOLY SMOKE...!!! Austraya 3 - Nippon 1 Can you believe it?!?!?!?!?!?! What a match!!! Woke the baby in those last few minutes....not a popular man!! England must be glad they overlooked Hiddink in favour of the renowned McClaren

Good spot! I guess we can look forward to the M&Solex and M&Smega....

Hmm...like your thinking. What we need is a Baseball 'World Series' style competition, basically with just two countries: Scotland and the Isle of Wight. Then again.......... Suffering from shite referees at the moment - Japan scored while Australian goalkeeper was being rugby tackled. The linesman, who is from that hotbed of professional football Mali, missed it. Egyptian referee is all over the shop.... [EDIT: Quick panic there - I know how to spell Isle of Wight! Guy who did the pic didn't!]

Right, back to watches.....

I see Celtic's Roy Keane has quit because the novelty of playing Falkirk has worn off....I mean injury! Where is JTB when there is a good piss take in the offing?

How do we know the pictures are from this weekend - maybe it's a fake alibi! Mmmm.... Miss U never said she had a sister! Ann's anecdotes seem to revolve around the hilarious double-entendres you can have when you name your dog "Sex": "When I went to the city hall to renew his dog licence, I told the clerk I would like a licence for Sex. He said ``I'd like one too! Then I said ``But this is a dog. He said he didn't care what she looked like. Then I said ``You don't understand. I've had Sex since I was nine years old. He winked and said ``You must have been quite a kid." [He winked?!] Gagged more like. Anyway my first letter to Ann would be: Dear Ann, What kind of freak names their dog "Sex" - and should we listen to that person's opinion on anything?! Also - how old is the dog in that story?

I think the sympathy is that they have to suffer around the clock 1966 nostalgia on the TV! ENGLISH HEAT: I was quite bemused watching England make such a carry on in the 28 degree heat. It's summer - a bit of a constant in World Cup competitions! The English team admit being taken by surprise, they haven't trained in warm weather, and John Terry said, “My feet felt like they were on fire.” Meanwhile Joe Cole said, "“It was as hot out there as it was in Japan four years ago and Portugal for Euro 2004.” Hmm, so in other words - it was exactly the same temperature as your last two international tournaments! What in the world are they carrying on about?! "Ya coupla fannies!" Anyway - Austraya kick off their campaign today!! Will be mucho drinko before kick-off at 11pm EST. Watch out for me talking shite!

Looks relaxing!! We're just finishing up a public holiday here in NSW.

Aye - have a good one!! Happy b'day! At first glance this Kermit looks like he's having fun, but having seen the next picture in the series, I now know it's an expression of total terror!

These were sage words! (Even if you would rather ride a bike!) The 1 series is for BMW-wannabes. It's pig ugly, and BMW didn't have a clue what they were doing with it. Avoid it! I'm very jealous of your other choice of cars though! No Audis?

Okay, I've made an effort to make up the numbers here! Hopefully there are no glaring typos! "TIMELINE OF A MINE DISASTER: TEN DAYS IN BEACONSFIELD, TASMANIA" Phone call at ten, three miners are dead, But it's in Tassie, we'll just send down Ed. Press release Sunday, not dead only trapped Message to me, your week off's been scrapped. Newsroom's gone mental, “get on a plane!” Goes without saying, can't take a train. Day one is boring, miners still stuck, Mulling 'round Tassie, dumb out of luck. 'Beckon' or 'Beacon', chewing the fat, Nothing to do, but shiver and chat. Newsroom to laptop, “what is the rub?” “Shh,” I say thinking 'PO or Sub?” Day two is worse, even less news, Tap up some local, suss out their views. News people restless, let's make something up No sod will notice, let's sell them a pup Day three, four, five, news people itchy, Some of the anchors, decidedly bitchy “We'll get them out safely,” the manager whines, Just get 'em out quickly, we're fed up of mines. Not much to do, but stare at my watch, That guy in the hat, is that David Koch? Now May the sixth, still metres away, Looks like we're staying, just one more day. Next day no further, we no longer care, Just spare a thought, for the news anchor's hair. Carleton collapses, “cameras away!” No such thought, for the rest of our prey. “It's harder than concrete, tougher than stone,” But we haven't got news, we continue to moan. “Just blow them up! Just give it some thought!” Just think of the headline - 'Family Distraught'. Suddenly they're out, in the lorry jumps Koch, If we pay enough money, will the audience watch? Chequebook journos, not much to admire, Glance over the bar, is that Eddie McGuire?! Cornerstone

VERY interesting! Cheers! Can't wait for the day something like this comes out!

Does this make the number of entries 4? I think it counts!

Ah, 1968!

You're right! But when it's the World Morris Dancing Championships then it's your turn...! (I jest, I jest.... )

Obviously, your wife was right - stuff is just stuff. But on the camera front, and this might sound very stupid, but if you haven't walked through the front door yet, are you still covered by your travel insurance?

Brings back Tokyo 7-Eleven "I'm gonna starve here" memories! Should have steered clear of the Swiss stuff (or paid attention).

Big laugh!

Cornerstone: "Beans!"

Aye, I got there in the end! Or do you think I have some kind of Father Jack Hackett tourette's syndrome about baked beans? I mean, when I have I ever brought up baked beans out of the blue before......no, wait, I see.......
