Erm, you may want to be naked in front of her, but I think you'll want her to be naked too.  It takes two to tango.

Besides, her late genius father will be looking beyond the grave and will spook you out (and laugh at how small you are). Wink

I prefer Ellie Harrison. EmbarrassedBig%20smile

One of my pet hates.  The definition of a train, according to the Oxford English Dictionary, is: " • noun 1 a series of railway carriages or wagons moved as a unit by a locomotive".  Some people may call a steam locomotive a steam engine; this is also technically incorrect as the steam engine is actually the wheel, connecting rod and piston and valve arrangement.  A two cylinder locomotive has a left and a right engine and they will be referred to as such by a driver or fitter.

No - you misunderstand; he just wants to wear absurd clothing, talk in an irritating manner and take part in marathons and other miscellaneous charity events for no reason other than to self-publicise.

Did anyone notice that Jim never took of the James May hat, not even while doing Admin duty... What does that imply for any suspended accounts and closed threads today?

What ho chaps,
 
apropos of nothing at all I just thought I'd say I'm back from a pleasant week in Scotland (the noo, probably) and I've returned to a job that I don't really understand filled with a profound desire to do something a bit more straightforward with my life. Any suggestions?

Jim, did you hear that Lewis Hamilton may lose his special parking spot at Asda in Stevenage?

I was just curious if you knew about this.  Apparently he has a special spot that is taped off, but the locals don't think he should have it. LOL

I reckon Jim wants to park there in his motorised shed.
