Are this explains the wierd dream I had last night, with the fish with a drill bit nose, drilling himself out the tank at a party I was at, but I don't get why MM was there, and why I took the poor old sod out for a coffee afterwards, cos he was depressed no one likes him anymorestui magpie wrote:nature does some weird shit, especially with insects.

Years ago I knew a bloke that would often say (when things went some-what less than swimmingly) "Oh well, the magic bus doesn't go to Manchester"!
I had no idea what he meant but he'd just say "Lad, it's story of heartbreak and sorrow and I would taint your fair ears with the telling! (huuuuh?)
My curiosity was peaked and over the years I've asked a fair few Pommes what he meant, but never got a satisfactory reply...
Until yesterdae when I met a bloke from Leeds who told me (after he stopped laughing) that "the Magic bus doesn't go to Manchester" is a reference to The Who's 1968 tour.
They played Leeds but not Manchester and the inhabitants of Manchester never forgave them and the inhabitants of Leeds aren't ever gunna let them forget it!
WOW!
That's Serious Grudge!

Not doing this to grammar/spelling nazi you, but it's 'piqued' your curiosity. Also a great scrabble word.3.14159 wrote:Years ago I knew a bloke that would often say (when things went some-what less than swimmingly) "Oh well, the magic bus doesn't go to Manchester"!

Watching a program called "Whitlam, the power and the passion" on the history channel on foxtel. Quite interesting. I was fairly young in 72-75 and got all the political news through my dad yelling at the TV.
Some good interviews and some very good background, a bit of a view and some details I hadn't learned before. Pity I missed the start.
Love the bit about the dismissal how people knew something important was up because laurie oakes was seen running down the hall and Mungo left half a glass of red behind to follow Laurie.

Every dead body on Mt Everest was once a highly motivated person, so maybe just calm the **** down.

So guys, what I learned to today was how to tell if your going through male menopause.
Simple test, wrap the old fella in postage stamps, if the perforations are intact in the morning, then sad to say, your not just a moody prick after all, and that gut can be blamed on more than beer.
Oh, and maca root helps. It's actually quite yum, I put it in my oatmeal pancakes!
And for that beer gut, try that dark beer, more antioxidants, (I got that right too!) hot sauce, burns calories, and snack on pistachios not popcorn, healthy fats fight your gut!
Doctor oz also filled me in on men's 5 guilty secrets. Hmm. Seems your a bunch of wanking, porn addicted, longing to be free like your single mates, praying we won't turn into our mothers, while you turn into your fathers, oh and monogamy is your biggest fear
Cheers, time for bed
