Milo

I don't think so, he's very well connected, but with so much time on his hands he must be still in the mob or working for a local authority and doing the pprune stuff while at work.

Either way, in 29 minutes his stats should change.

Not a groupie!

I had to look up the Liam Watts thing and found he was the drummer, y'know, that's what they call a guy who hangs around with a bunch of musicians.

In the words of John Lennon:

When asked whether or not he believed Ringo Starr to be the best drummer in the world. "He's not even the best drummer in The Beatles!"

An alcoholic or along those lines.


I think their are lots of other connotations, all bad that go along with the word
apart from alcoholic that a quick google search would bring up.

According to the Urban Dictionary "A member of the street drinking fraternity
Etymology - believed to have been derived from jackdaw and jake which is scots for a cheap strong drink."

Imagine, if you will, a Scot that even the Scots feel they can look down on.

Usually a permadrunk, benefit based and rude life form with no morals and even fewer traces of hot soapy water, but the uncanny ability to find the means of getting drunk by breakfast time.

I'm away to search you tube for a chewin the fat video which shows the beast in natural surroundings.

I've got a pal called Jake
he's got a private wood / nature reserve with around 30 "tame" badgers, he feeds them most nights and they run around his feet in a big gang
Been to help / watch several times, quite impressive

Badgers.

I read something about them being the dry land version of Dolphins. They are really clever and if only they had opposable thumbs they might well have been the master race after the last ice age.

At just 1 minute to midnight, the military team have declared.

Well done guys, that was a load of laughs. I can't play any more as my PM inbox is full, and I have to work tomorrow so that I can fly on Thursday.

Pas de Calais?
Le Manche (or something like)

they think its theirs of course.

You do realise that before Doggerland flooded it was the outlet to the Atlantic for the Thames and the Rhine?

If you think badgers are clever, what about the Orang-utan? While us smart-arses need both hands to peel a banana, they've evolved to doing the job single-handed. Which is always handy when you live hanging off a tree.
