The Hornet's Nest

I've just had a great bit of luck to start the weekend. Due to an error with the Vodafone website, I have managed to wangle an iphone 4 for free, 300 mins and unlimited text. Should normally cost £199 for the phone and a higher monthly charge.

 

No worries Sandy , Aberdeen No chance !!! assuming England beat sri lanka , they will struggle to beat the Kiwis , who allways do quite well come tounament knock out stages! Not bad for a nation of 4 million!!!

 

fancy putting a couple of beers where that statement is...

 

yep England wont win it !

 

At long last - it's beer o'clock View attachment 1543

Wonder if Hornette is still off on her 14 mile walk. Is it only in Oz that a 7 mile walk is a euphemism for a nooky session?

Perhaps she indulges twice on Fridays

 

Thanks for the latte Ak ...it went down a treat!

Yep, W-Y, Moonwalk it is not quite up to the Marathon Leonardo lol...26.2 miles, and in Edinburgh coz when i booked, the London one was full! i hope it won't be too hilly! lol. Actually i miscalculated this morning and ended up doing 15.4 miles which means i have under 11 to go...why does that still sound quite a lot?

Norway, doing 8k-10k every day is no mean feat! It's fab ..

Crikey Sandy, that's amazing!

Shattered this afternoon, but it's getting easier...sort of! lol

i have to admit, i can't see England winning it, but it'd be rather splendiferous if we could pull it off

 

lol BB, do you think i'd burn off the same amount of calories?

 

No cricket or rugby to worry about, a small icehockey and football team. It is good being from a small nation we never expect anything.

 

Scientific research has proven that the two activities expend the same amount of energy, so a resounding Yes!

Time for a View attachment 1546 or two whilst waiting for my wife to return from her walk

 

lol...and walking is such hard work...who'd have thunk!

i hope she's had a good walk ...cheers View attachment 1547

 

It is very strange that at this time of year in France all of the garden centres, DIY centres and even the larger supermarkets have displays of garden furniture, parasols, gazebos and BBQ's.

Nothing that odd you may well say, but sat in the middle of such displays you will always find a cement mixer. It would seem that every self respecting French householder must have one.

Yes I do, I really need mine.

 

According to my mobile phone that hangs around my neck when I wander round the fields, I walked 2.4 miles today and burnt 184 calories.

Anyone know how many calories in a bottle of Bordeaux?

Could that be the problem?

Only one solution. Walk more.

 

lol...sounds like the best solution M Frenchie . i think there's about 500 calories in a bottle..that's a fair bit more walking

 

500 calories !!!!!!

It is no wonder I put on weight when listening to our matches.

 

sorry to be the barer of such bad news M Frenchie. Perhaps a little jogging on the spot while you're listening? lol

 

Maybe a set of carefully altered scales would be better.

I don't think my earphones have a long enough cable, and anyway I thought I was using up loads of nervous energy.

Thank you ak, it is very welcome.

Have you had another hard day at the office? I trust you are on good overtime rates.

 

No overtime rate is the same all the time, this week I may have 58 hours last week was 54. Normally is many less but we have some problems and I help mend them.

 

It is a good job that a match thread was not needed this week ak.

Why is my name in the Tags for this Thread? No one else has achieved this status. Do I get get extra points or something?
