Night Fever (hee Bee Gee bees!)

john8pies

yep, and even us `oldtimers` can still join in now and then!

john8pies

Agreed, nobody has to take this stuff - and I certinaly hope men don`t start kissing men like in franceland!

john8pies

I`m reminded of the famous film of those construction workers in the 1950s(?) working atop the unfinished World Trade centre, and actually eating sandwiches and drinking from flasks a fmile high!

john8pies

please wish her fwell from me, too. Get well soon Angel!

john8pies

Tell me about it - and why do students have to repay their `loans` when the unemployed get their money for nothing?!

john8pies

<t>Many thanks to all of you who have sent me their best wishes. I have taken the opportunity of my daughter being in Oxford (brainy, but costs me a fortune!) this weekend to try and send all of you personal letters; but please excuse any spelling mistakes or similar as the writing still looks a bit...

john8pies

Rum and raisin, thank you!

<r><SIZE size="3"><s>[SIZE=3]</s>Dear Friends, Well as you know I went back to work on Monday and this, coupled with my elder daughter now being back home and living in the "spare" bedroom (formerly known as my computer room!!!) has curtailed my participation in the last few days. <b...

And even more curious your mentioning Marc Bolan, spot, since he also was a bit of an androgynous t**t...............

john8pies

No I wouldn`t go to see a Michael Jackson concert (even though I like SOME of his music) - just as I suspect most mothers WON`T be letting their littl`uns go and stay the night in his bed with him from now on!

john8pies

<t>Anbybody seen Christian Bale (now Batman) in The Machinist? He lost ONE THIRD of his body weight by reducing calorific intake till eventually he was down from approx 180 pounds (12st, 12lbs) to 120 pounds (8st, 8lbs) and he looks absolutely SKELETAL! Apparently at one stage he was surv...

john8pies

I TOTALLY agree with you that you are perfectly entitled to be single if you so wish. Why not?!

john8pies

scary! but wasn`t there another `certain country` which allegedly executed its citizens for ` being too westernised - eg, smoking cigarettes`!!!!!!!!!!!?

john8pies

what stupid thing exactly - please clarify!

john8pies

the good: we successfully amputated your poisonous leg

the bad: unfortunately we also incorrectly amputated your other leg

the ugly: the 2 blokes on either side of you are fighting to see which one can have your slippers!

john8pies

Please excuse my patriotism on this one, but we could also point out that it`s actually France, Germany and Spain who take out most in the way of CAP subsidies and regional development - the hypocrisy of the frogs is breath-taking!

john8pies

Do you have the equivalent of the British RSPCA (animal charity) who might be able to give free or subsidised treatment, or at least good advice? Good luck!

john8pies

Now have heard a LOT about said Richard Thompson without ever, curiously enough, getting to hear any of his MUSIC! I`ll try harder following your recommendation!

john8pies

I agree with you Bothwell, but in this PC-mad society, I`m surprised that they didn`t fix it so that the frogs won the re-match!

Loving You (Minnie Ripperton)

john8pies

He is so-o-o-o sardonic that he has actually become cool!!!

john8pies

Sorry, Cap`t, I keep doing this to you but I HATE Neil Diamond, too. The only decent thing he did was the duet with Barbra Streisand, and that was mainly due to her great voice!

Incidentally, I find your new avatar tres amusing, and really love your photo collection, too!

john8pies

<t>what I found particularly disturbing was when I read the company policy on this to be ` if the person who made the complaint feels they were sexually harassed, regardless of whether the accused person intended to harass them or not." Whatever happened to that quaint old maxim of `innocent until p...

john8pies

Just been announced live on TV that Michael Jackson has, in fact, been found NOT GUILTY ON all charges against him!

:rolleyes:

john8pies

Hi, Nuth, and welcome to the group. So where exactly are you (geographically speaking, I mean!) ?

john8pies

Thanks for the explanation, Eagle - so what would be the pros and cons then? Aren`t they both `liable to go up or down in value` as the adverts always warn us over here?

john8pies

Awesome - thanks once again for your great wildlife photos

john8pies

Didn`t you feel similarly with the beginning of Saving Captain Ryan? All those innocents mercilessly lost, and still wars go on today. Yet, had it not been for their sacrifice, the whole of Europe could still be under Nazi domination

john8pies

Well, it`s a difficult question really, isn`t it, "Is this normal?" because NOTHING is absolutely normal about people`s own unique situations. There may be more in this than meets the eye, but I suggest you just communicate and tell her how you feel or whatever. Best of luck

john8pies

or perhaps use the google search facility in the first instance? Good luck!

john8pies

Gives a whole new meaning to `goes like a bomb!`

john8pies

Good - I despise Tyson; but I heard that your boy wouldn`t have stood much chance if Tyson had been his `old self`! Incidentally, why the poxy new avatar????????!!!!!!!!!! (yep, I hate cowell, too!)

john8pies

Capt, this has actually happened over here in England too, in that instance a 28 year old bloke went `back to school` so he could retake his A-levels. He didn`t look 28 but I thought he looked older than 16-18; oh, and he got caught, too!

john8pies

Welcome, Princess, and as if to make a point of the mad weather here in England I hear it`s cloudy and cold up Newcastle today, whilst sunny and hot down here! Good luck with the exam, too.

john8pies

Sorry, but best to admit I`m ignorant...just what does CEF stand for? Thanks

john8pies

I TOTALLY endorse what Flopstock says on this thread. Please reconsider your decision, Capt, and believe me, you will be missed if you stay away. Good luck!

john8pies

In England there was also the famous case of a man who took a huge gigantic electronic industrial chainsaw and cut the house in half so the wife could have `her half`. (I think he got jailed for that!)
