the first sentence made no sense.

All it's saying is that whilst Thriller may not actually be the best album of all time, the fact that everyone agrees it's very good means that it's easy to simply say it's the best.
Funny review. I'm having a quick listen to the album and I can confirm that it really is as bad as the article suggests.

Making me smile - finishing Uni! Drink time

[MK Chris]

I'm listening back to Tuesday's show (as due to consideration for a certain person who didn't have to get up last week in my flat, I didn't have the radio on except to wake me up) and the little link about the Table Tennis Masters is making me smile.. Chris' pronunciation of Vladimir Samsonov and Jorgen Persson particularly. I went last year, it was good (except for the company I was with, the less said about that the better.)

[S4B]

I thought about you when I heard that Topher, meant to mention it but forgot.

[Bonanzoid]

This is making me smile today. We've been waiting years for an image of such beauty. Bring on the SPL!

[Yudster]

But Thriller isn't even Michael Jackson's best album, let alone the best of anyone elses..................

Are you a Morton fan? Mid-table??? Is that the reason they are highlighted?

[MK Chris]

The St Johnstone and Clyde links are also shown as having been 'visited', so given that it's making him smile, it's probably safe to assume he's a St Johnstone fan.

I don't normally help perpetuate virals or forward jokes, but these did make me laugh... an email from my friend today:

I'm not usually one for posting warnings about potential scams but I had a close call yesterday.

I walked into B&Q DIY store at lunchtime and some old guy dressed in a black shirt with an orange apron on asked me if I wanted decking.

Fortunately, I got the first punch in and sorted him out.

Those less suspecting might not be so lucky.

Pass this warning on.

to which another friend replied to all:

Generally, I hate the warnings that get sent around, but I have to admit that this one is important. Please protect everyone you know by sending this to your entire email list:

If a man comes to your front door and says he is conducting a survey and asks you to show him your bum, do NOT show him your bum. This is a scam - he only wants to see your bum.

I wish I'd got this yesterday. I feel so stupid and cheap.

Correct. Sad as it sounds, I clicked Morton to analyse their form and team before our huge game against them last week. As for Clyde, I just wanted a laugh.

And yes, I'm a St. Johnstone fan.

There was a news report on the local radio this morning (thats right, I'm listening to Heart fm over Mills.) that said, in these exact words - 'Police are asking for citizens to report anyone who has no means to support an extravagant lifestyle'.
My immediate thought was 'So it's a crime to be poor now'?

I'm waiting for the police to bang on my door any minute.

[MK Chris]

The following phone call at work: "our photocopier says 'add toner', so I added paper to both trays and it still says 'add toner'!"

[Sunny So Cal]

I despair of humanity sometimes. I'd have loved to be the person who answered that call.

[Bonanzoid]

My new internet at home seems to really like me downloading stuff because it's muy rapido! Excellent!

[S4B]

This landlady in Barnsley is making me smile! Get in!

[MK Chris]

They'll be closing that loophole fairly quickly then, the worst thing she could have done was publicise it.

[S4B]

Such a shame but bloody well done her! I think there should be smoking and no smoking areas clearly defined in pubs.

[MK Chris]

The problem with that is that the smoke travels - even when you can't see it, the chemicals are still floating around in the air.

[Bonanzoid]

A picture of last night when me and my flatmate tried to cycle home, him giving me a backie, when we were very, very, very drunk. We crashed. Twice.

Sorry for double post, but why would you want to go to that pub?! Did you see the size of the heads she put on the pints?! Useless bint. Ha.

[MK Chris]

I can't see why you can't have designated smoking rooms though that are separated from the non-smoking parts.

The problem with that is that the smoke travels - even when you can't see it, the chemicals are still floating around in the air.

Because smoke still travels to the non-smoking parts.

Having said that, as anti-smoking as some know I am, there is something to be said for it being down to the discretion of the landlord. I know this means that pretty much every landlord would allow smoking in their pubs again, but whenever I went to the pub before the ban, I was prepared to come out with my clothes smelling shit and with the risk of passively smoking. The one argument for the ban that is a reasonable argument, I think, is the one I heard from a smoker - it was the argument that it's not being put in place for people today, but for future generations, who will undoubtedly be deterred from starting if it's not allowed in public places.

But whatever the arguments for allowing smoking in pubs, I do think it should definitely be banned in eating establishments without exception. I even know smokers who don't like smokey areas when they're eating.

[Munki Bhoy]

Personally I thought the little aircon type booths they had at airports was the way to go with smoking areas, but clearly the government are far too stupid for that. I mean, if smoking really is that bad STOP FINANCING YOUR COUNTRY FROM THE BLOODY DUTY FROM CIGARETTES!!!!

Anything else is just kidding themselves on.

[ladbroke]

Making me laugh is my own stupidness.........I didn't realise Flo Rida was spelt like that, I assumed it was Flow Rider! My god I'm getting old.................

[Console]

Ignorance, yes, stupid-ness, no - he's got a poorly spelt name.

[ladbroke]

Or maybe 'he' is really a she. Florence Rida............!

[ladbroke]

do you reckon?
