Well there's been some major spamming going on during the early hours of this morning
So on a spam related note, does anyone like spam? What's your favourite tinned meat product and what delicious things do you make with it? (go on, make wet ham jokes to your hearts content. I'm talking to you Monty) You can't beat a good corned beef hash in my opinion

alt: It's Monday, so everyone tell us stories of how you watched tv and ate food this weekend

Genuinely gutted that he died in an accident in the MotoGP yesterday :(

Mrs Cow makes a kind of corned beef stew
Which is tremendous with rosaries and Yorkshire puddings of a cold night

This weekend involved a visit to a farm, seeing rabbits, guinea pigs and a 17' python. Trip to McD's for the kids and a Sunday roast chicken. It was interspersed with making terrible heavy bread and Thomas the tank engine cupcakes.

I think it's funny because someone is so pathetic that at 4-5 in the morning, they would flood a message board that they don't even look at...
...because they believe it's a 'weaker' place on the internet compaired to their regular place by a lot of it's users, and to do it in the name of someone who's completely irrelivent to everyone here.

It's like that really short kid who used to hang around with the rough council-tower-block kids who starts on one of the disabled kids because he got egged on.

I feel sorry for the family of the motorcyclist
much as I did about that car-racing chappie a couple of weeks ago but it's not really a tragedy is it? My boss's wife's cousin lost her 25-year-old son to a paragliding accident in the Pyrenees a week or two ago and whilst it's sad, for fuck's sake, flying about in the air is a risky business. The same is true of hurtling round an asphalt track at hundreds of miles an hour on a bike/in a car. If you like hangliding in mountains it's rather tough shit if you smack into one and die, really isn't it? Child gets rund over = tragedy. Someone succumbs to the dangers of a dangerous activity = these are the breaks, as Curtis Blow once 'rapped' on the 'M.I.C', with some considerable success, I might add.

It's unlikely that I will die in a motorsport/paragliding mishap as I have minimised the risks of such an occurrence by not fucking doing it in the first place.

Here, this'll make you laugh.
There is someone I know who pays £30/month to go to some club where she gets discounts on drugs, she can do them there, they've made it really nice, and you get discounts and stuff. I've never heard of such a thing, but she had no reason to lie about it. I was with another mate in south london who says they deliver around her way.

So, anyway, I was like "Ok, I'm from a posh bit of north london, 'round my way we go to the doctors and get a subscription. Then you go down to central london, and you got to a social club. Then there is south london, where you get deliveries and street corners".

There was a doctor who was lambasted recently for critisicing the prohibition of drugs
His point was basically that there are many things that people do for a thrill, such as horse-riding or whatever, which have far higher mortality rates than recreational drug use, yet these things are not illegal. If I remember rightly it was in response to some clever soul suggesting that the NHS should not treat drug users as their problems are self-inflicted.

Yes. That is how it works.
You might call children their "target market". It is therefore reasonable to extrapolate from this that these drinks could be classified as "children's drinks"

Or Space Raiders.

I bet you remember Spangles too.
Teeth rot specials, they were the dentist's friend, and we kids loved them.

I'm not that old
I only remember people talking about remembering spangles. Second hand nostalgia is still nostalgia, though

vimto is rancid
I used to have Taylor's pies, but given that it was a small business in Crewe which, I think, closed in the mid 90s it's unlikely I'll ever taste that delicious peppery goodness ever again :(

Hi Everybody
I'm ill today, and have been for the whole weekend. I hate the fact that, even though I feel poo, I still feel obliged to log in remotely and do a few bits and pieces while sitting on the sofa while listening to the new album by The Answer (which is amazing BTW).

I should get some sort of medal
or other reward. I tell you what, you should courier over a meat and potato pie for me to have for my lunch.

My band du jour is THE PIRATES.
They were Johnny Kidd and the Pirates* (their hit 'Shakin' All Over' is deemed one of if not the best British rock'n'roll songs ever) until Kidd's death in 1966 (car crash I think). They reformed as The Pirates in about '77 and were a great fucking rock'n'roll band. Their guitarist Mick Green was outstanding.

Plus they looked really shit which I rather like.


*CQ: their song 'Please Don't Touch' was a hit for Motorhead/Girlschool in the 80s

This warrants further investigation
Links to available vinyl would help.

I saw Mick Green play a good few years ago.
I'm shocked to see he's dead.

Well
I for one was SHOCKED at the weekend to repeatedly see Paul "Gary Glitter" Gadd in his new role as one of the French rugby team's coaches.

I was shocked to see that he's also now the singer for The Sisters of Mercy.
