My blackjack and fruit salad mix could be on celebrity big brother. Obviously ticks the boxes.

He introduced a serious topic into the thread earlier and now this, he has had a mare today. Can only hope Rick's Friday quiz is a belter tomorrow.

Tino, if you're reading this, please get in touch with one of us. You're not in any trouble and no-one's cross with you, we're not even disappointed, we just want to know that you're safe and well.

Well that's a relief. There's always a sensible explanation if you just look hard enough.

Aye and from such a reputable source as well.

Bugger. Second by a walrus' whisker

How's it going rick? Happy day ahead?

End of the day here. Last days of winter and very nice outside.
Got some sawdust in my eyes gang-nailing joists whilst the blokes were cutting yellow tongue boards above.
I think that explains that Aussie squint some of us convicts have. Strange... considering I'm a free settler.

by **rIck_dAgless** Fri 29 Aug 2014, 7:59 am

Morning TLD, good weekend ahead as there is a local music festival here, with such luminaries as Shed 7, Example and the Pet Shop Boys.

And it is walking distance from my place so no need for stinky toilets and flooded fields! Good times.

I suck at DIY, maybe you are now a convict by osmosis...

by **Pal Joey** Fri 29 Aug 2014, 8:08 am

yeah, reverse cultural osmosis. Probably explains why I'm creeping westward.

Enjoy the music festival. Much better to do your own business at home rather than slip on some emo's half used toilet paper. They also leave lots of germs on the tap handles so you needn't worry about that either.

Got the results of my Credit Check today. Cost nothing. Thought I might have a couple of little utilities "black marks" but after going through the 15 pages all I got was "No information recorded" in about a dozen different categories.

The only entry was my own access inquiry from about a week ago. That's the only footprint I (or anyone else) has left on my credit record.

Stoked.

by **rIck_dAgless** Fri 29 Aug 2014, 8:25 am

be a bit wary mate, as it sometimes takes a wee while for the information to feed through to the report you request...

It is different, potentially, than the ones the lenders have (from experience)

by **seanmichaels** Fri 29 Aug 2014, 8:30 am

Shed Seven are a cracking band. Got a little bit pop-y but some crackers there. Chasing Rainbows, On Stand By, High Hopes...

Looking forward to them tonight sean, hoping the weather stays better, couldn't give a rats tadger about Example, but Pet Shop Boys could be a good do...

by Rowley Fri 29 Aug 2014, 8:38 am

Went to see Shed Seven last Christmas, they were alright. Do like a christmas gig. Good opportunity to have a few pre festive beers with my brother and friends, Inspiral Carpets this year.

by **JuliusHMarx** Fri 29 Aug 2014, 8:42 am

From the BBC web-site - "Rugby star fined for model assault"
He shouldn't assault anyone, but at least he did a textbook example of it.

Want to go and see Echo and the Bunnymen as well, but TSMR does not seem keen and I do not have any friends who would be overly arsed, pity. I might just go on my own.

I would imagine there will be lots in the same boat, and much better than going to a Justin Bieber concert and just standing there on your own... looking...

At least with Beiber I could stand with Dave, who would have gone to give himself something to get unnecessarily annoyed about.

Pretty sure that breaches terms on at least 3 of his registers though Jeff.

Couple of friends are getting far too excited for Kate Bush (insert own flange joke) in concert, don't see it myself.

I would write to your local MP. And if you don't have an MP, then the lead singer of Echo and the Bunnymen

I am safe and well, and touched by your concern.

Just to clear a couple of things up;

I am not dead.
I am most definitely not Sir Cliff Richard.

by Rowley Fri 29 Aug 2014, 9:06 am

I would welcome you back Tina, but nearly two weeks without even a thought to check in hurts, a lot.

It's not my intention to hurt you, Jeffrey, but unfortunately (for me) and fortunately (for you), I won't be around too much for a while.

Mrs Windows is a wee bit poorly so I am taking some time off work to look after things. I will doing some work at home, although not much, and I will endeavour to check in now and again to confirm whether or not I am dead.

Keep fighting the good fight.

by **superflyweight** Fri 29 Aug 2014, 9:15 am

Now that just makes me feel bad, I could cope with you being ill, but not Mrs Windows.

Hope everything's ok and she gets better soon.

It is exactly a month, not 2 weeks.

He was on holiday for the first two weeks Sean, please try to pay attention. Sorry to hear about Mrs Windows Tina. Goes without say but hope she is alright, am not a doctor but maybe going a couple of months without expecting her to add to your already oversized brood might help.

by **seanmichaels** Fri 29 Aug 2014, 9:21 am

Ditto

by **rIck_dAgless** Fri 29 Aug 2014, 9:22 am

Hope she gets better Tino squire, though I hope you are not using her as a human shield to escape the wrath of your offspring?

Where is the quiz Rick. I am dangerously bored. I came close to doing some work earlier.

Crikey! Sorry to hear that Jeff!

Though i dont have time to correctly monitor such a thing yet.

Give me an hour

I'll do one. I'm knacckered but in a fairly good mood having heard Go Your Own Way on my journey to work.

Give me 5.

by **88Chris05** Fri 29 Aug 2014, 10:34 am

Aye, give my best to Mrs Windows as well please, Cliff.

What quiz is it that Rick is meant to be cooking up?

by Rowley Fri 29 Aug 2014, 10:36 am

Rick occasionally treats us on a Friday by doing us a quiz, with a bit of look it will be music so I can spoil it by being someway better than everyone else at it.

Its a cookery quiz.

He gives us all £20 and we buy ingredients. He then cooks us something in 20 minutes.

He calls it Ready, Rik, cook

Was typing quick as we had a delivery at the door Rick, but as you have alluded to, no real excuse for such shoddiness.

by **seanmichaels** Fri 29 Aug 2014, 10:52 am

Looking for a common link between the songs/artists, a lyric of which is listed below.

1.) The link is lost, the chain undone.
2.) Came back only yesterday moving further away, want you near me.
3.) Oh, the iron will and iron hand in England's green and pleasant land, No music for the shameful scene, That night they said it had even shocked the queen
4.) The Marquis de Sade don't wear no boots like these
5.) My pappy said when I was seventeen you're six feet tall and your face is clean

Container full of Afghans?

by Rowley Fri 29 Aug 2014, 10:58 am

4 is Fools Gold, The Stone Roses
2 is Only You, by Yazoo or the Flying Pickets, if you prefer.

Sounds like the opening line to a terrible 70's pop song.
