I’m afraid you’ll have to ask Gimme about the gherkins - he’s the expert. Apparently his job would be easier if more people liked them. I didn’t like to ask…

Don’t forget it’s important to have a very visible facial tic though. You need to be convincing if you’re to pull it off :)

Maybe you should practice a bit today. Ooh - I’ve just had a thought. Be careful if there is someone with a genuine tic, or tourettes or serious learning difficulties, because it could look a bit like you were just taking the piss and that might be frowned upon …

Actually you’re right. I’ve seen your fake niceness before and it would definitely pass for tourettes, so either way you win :)
Good luck anyway. I’m working tomorrow even though it’s a bank holiday over here, but I will try and type with my fingers crossed :)

I think I get extra for working bank holiday, but I don’t know how much. I haven’t had a meaningful payslip in 6 months, and they can’t even tell me how much holiday I have accrued.
Bollocks. I just checked and I haven’t won the Lottery. AGAIN :rolleyes:
Anyhow, I must away. See you later, I’ll be thinking of you :)

well, I’m going to run the 20km from brussels, and I’m not prepared at all. I hope I will not get a heartattack and that I will reach the finish in time (I have 4 hours to do it). Wish me luck

I got to the finish line after 3H08 not great but we didn’t prepare at all, so I guess it’s not that bad. No serious injures. My feet hurt, I have some small blisters on my toes, and jurgen’s niples hurt, because of constantly scratching against a wet t-shirt. But that’s all wa have, so I think we did well. I even have a medal :-)

next year we will go for the 2H30 time, but then we will prepare. We finished 21850 and 21851 out of 25000 so we weren’t close to the last. I have to admit, I’m proud we made it to the finish :-)
How did your wife’s swimathon go?

It went very well thank you :)
She did it in 1hr14, so it averaged out at 44 seconds a length, which is pretty good.
And the best thing about it is that she raised over £700 for Marie Curie Cancer Care.
Back in the days when I was fit (I have just gone up another jeans size :( ) I did a half marathon in 2hr07, so that is your target to beat! ;)
Mind you, I am so unfit now, thanks to Cadbury’s chocolate and a bloody three-for-two promotion on pork pies (I kid you not), that I doubt I could drive a half marathon in that time now, never mind run it…

Congratulations Tinne! :D
I don’t think I’ve ever congratulated anyone on coming 21,851st before. Apart from when Dan and d were on ‘Mr & Mrs’. I’m still not sure how they managed that …
Dennis, you could run 50 miles in under an hour if someone just drove in front of you in a van filled with chocolate and pastry and reconstituted pig entrails :)
Morning Gav :)

Bloody hell - you made me jump!

Please look after the Wombles, For yea though they walk in the valley of the shadow of death, I have heard it said that you will be able to comfort them with your rod and staff. I always thought that was a bit of a copout - getting your staff to do the comforting, maybe you should stick to the rod for the time being. But don’t spare it or you’ll spoil them… Have a lovely day!

Your palm tells me that your wife is virtuous, selfless,long-suffering, blind and mad as a March hare. It also tells me that you are greedy and revolting beyond measure. And your lack of opposable thumbs tells me that you are from staffordshire, in the Black Country.
