10 things I thought would never come to pass


  1. The end of the cold war and break up of USSR.
  2. End of Aparthied.
  3. French companies owning British water companies. We always regarded the French as having the worlds worst plumbing.
  4. British people buying bottled water. Clean water comes out of the tap, why pay for bottled?
  5. British people paying more for bottled water than they do for Coke.
  6. An incredibly vulnerable tunnel being dug from England to France.
  7. Widespread use by women, of huge four wheel drive vehicles, used to take children to school and day care.
  8. Local authorities sealing dirt roads to make them smoother then fabricating humps to slow the traffic down.
  9. Affordable and accurate race car simulation games available to all children. WOW!!!
  10. Someone like George W Bush becoming American President.
My thanks to Fuckkit for the photograph.

I'm tempted to ask when you thought #10. It must surely have been pre-Reagan?

MJ- Cheek!

Qenny & Awaiting- Even though he was a republican, many thought highly of Reagan, up until the senility started kicking in. George is in a different league of stupidity.

But bottled is "natural" and flows through filtering linestone for 5000 years before coming to the surface untouched by man!

At least...thats what it says on the tin!

Bottled water probably is tap water!

What about Ed and Shrek making it to the top of Pen-Y-Fan. The two most unfit Steel workers making it to the top of the highest mountain in South Wales.

While down in Washington STate last year we told one of the idiotic pilots we had bottled water - a bottle we filled from the tap daily. He then went on to say how much better he felt and his that his diarreah had ceased AND how much better the water tasted.

Fuckwit.

All those different kinds of creme eggs - that bothers me. Also as Mr F says the death by the last of a thousand cuts of the British Pub. All round mine for cut price lager from Tescos and smoke as much as you like - yippee!

Ickle_bro- Probably is untouched by hand. I suspect the herds of sheep that live on the mountain have had their input.

IDV- So nothing much to say, but always up for a poke.

Snooze- At least it's presence has an effect on the ferry price.

Ed- Well done! and Well done for going on the waggon.
Jock has fixed my 'puter so I'm back on the interwebbnetthingy.

Plegmfatal- They do have the one advantage of heralding your arrival at a notorious council estate.

Pissoff- Good story! It's all about marketing.

Mutleythedog- Blair - All night free porn. Can't think of any other positive reason for a legacy. Of course there is 'proving that Red Ken Livingsone is more reveared by Londoners than the Labour party'.

I- I can't critisise all progress. I mean I wouldn't like to Loose mobile phones and the internet.

Kieran- John Prescott is a huge phenomena.

Just huge.

Frobisher- Oh God yes! It's hard to believe. Even though I no longer smoke, I just think that's insane.

Mutleythedog- I'm still comming to terms with being able to buy Cream eggs all year round.
I bagsee the best spot in the kitchen.

Awaiting-Fuckkit-MJ-IDV-Mutleythedog- Sorry a little modem failure has kept me in the cyber dark.

Jay- Woohoo! good to see your highly toned, semi-oriental presence back. You're absolutely right about JG. How did she ever become the exhalted one.
