Actually OD, I stand corrected: take a look at these beauties.

Footballers' wages - anyone? Oh, and it's kit OD, kit LOL. Costumes indeed!

I like his eyebrows: perfectly symmetrical. In fact, I'd kill for eyebrows like those - never mind moan.

Cute knees?

Oh, I wouldn't understimate Rooney in that regard (or any celebrity, for that matter, when it comes to money). But, yes, the agent might have had a say.

Agreed, but what of the (and I am ashamed to quote this one) Rooney scenario, for example, last year? He plays for my team, but his actions left a really bitter taste in my mouth and I simply find it difficult to have the same respect for him now as I did prior to that incident. The club is already in financial difficulties, and he was hardly on a pittance prior to the wage increase.

Hmmmm...am now wondering if I should have stuck this in the Drawing Room! PMSL

...are they justified?

Michael Pallywotsitoos is a proper fan...he must be on holiday. Loves the game.

Carry on in that vein, you'll be getting a hit on the nose...

This Forum is alive, with the sound of...:))

Oh, and salt and pepper - obviously. And the haricot beans will have been soaked the previous night.

> LM, you cannot just cannot say you do your own > gear and then not provide a recipe. Well, truth is that I don't have a recipe as such. It's my own thing and it's something I make in the summer when I have a glut of tomatoes on my allotment. But basically, all I do is this... Fry some onions, garlic, celery, fresh chillis and paprika in olive oil till onions turn translucent and add some basalmic vinegar to make it sweet/sticky. Add a teeny bit of tom. puree, worcs. sauce, some muscovado sugar, any herbs (I use thyme, basil, rosemary, parsley and bay leaves), haricot beans and tons of fresh tomatoes. Then cover the lot with water. Cook slowly for up to 4 hours on top of the cooker. You need to keep returning to give the concoction a good old mix and to prevent it from sticking. I have no rules and no measurements, just add everything according to personal taste: I'm quite heavy on the garlic, chillis and tomatoes. I've probably forgotten something, but that's more or less it.

Master Quids, be honest, you only came on this thread because you thought it was something to do with gambling.:))

You are NOT excused!

Well you wreckon correctly your Maj. Yep, the receipt - a formally printed one on A4 paper as opposed to some scribbling on bog roll - was indeed there. So next week he's going to leave a months' dosh! Aint that great? All that worry and tearing of hair out for nothing. As for all you cynics (and that includes hubby)...poop poop and treble poop...

LET BATTLE RESUME *quickly brushes up on rules*

Oh that's clever!

OKAY, OKAY, I'll put you all out of your misery - in a moment... hee hee

Quite! And don't try sneaking round the back...
