      So does that mean that you are of a suitably Golden Age to receive this bounty? How about a bag of frozen Tesco sausages instead?

    3. Mallard60022

      Mallard60022

      Almost as good but I need gluten free sausages

      I don't think you could have 'handled' the last woman you popped up.....but I am pretty sure Kylie has body guards.....and no I don't think you would make it to the interview stage ;p

      I think it's the 'almost' that makes the difference between a really bad weather day, and an apocalyptic collapse of Western civilisation

      Buggleswide was for sale about ten years back. I almost bought that! Stoked was for sale a few weeks back; I made an offer of the asking price and didn't even get a reply!!!!! I'm obviously meant to build my own thing........:)

      Why not just have it all buried in the same hole in the ground. Then you'll prove that you *can* take it all with you when you go!

      Yup - a victim of TV scheduling, was made the third match on centre court to attract the tea-time audience. If it'd been earlier in the afternoon, who knows... He deserved to win it just once, on effort alone. But yer man Murray's the real deal.

      Yup. However there is a new Aussi kid on the block and he is something else......
