Not considering buying the Merc back then? I'm drunk. Meetings are fun. Have you only got one thumb? Top Gear style three piece? I've managed to lose about £150 of camera equipmentsometime over the weekend. I REALLY can't afford to lose it.
i'd guess, if your insurance won;t cover it, you couldwangle offsetting it as expenses against tax, if you are running yourself as a business?
edit: slight gibberish, but you know what i mean

You know...I'd completely forgotten about insurance. What will probably happen is I'll forget all about it until its too late.
as a matter of factgoing through my bank statements today, i noticed that my insurance lapsed and i never sent the last form back, so i've been uninsured for buildings and contents for the last 6 months.
i shall have to sort that out tomorrow.
*waits for meteor strike*

Well...my excess is £150so thats a waste of time. 150 is small fry in the photography world....its just a pain in the absolute arse when you're trying to start a business.
what've you lost? D300 batteryand a gps tagger.
you do realise the irony of losing a GPS tagger?

It's the equivalent of 49p out here;unfortunately, everyone drives Hummers and pick-up trucks. We hired a "compact" car a few weeks back and ended up with something with a 3.6 litre V6 engine.
I will get my 150£ camera back!!!!(I lost it in a Hosten in Edinburgh on my last day. They found it, but despite them proffering it and, me calling and writing e-mails they failed to send it to me for two month. So in the end I offered to send someone to collect it if they were to "busy".
They promptly agreed and I suddenly needed a someone to help me out.
Luckily the best of all internet mates was in town. Three cheers to thediscokingpin.

who now owns a £150 camera! Not anymore, he paid 9,50£ for insured shipping.I offered him to pay for everything, in cash or spirits and I understand he prefers beer.
has anyone seen or written a good best man's speach lately?particularly one done where there are 2 best mans.
I have a month to write one. I've only been to about 3 weddings in my life... and i haven't a clue how to integrate 2 people.
the best suggestion so far is that we both speak exactly in time and harmony, just for weirdness sake.

The odds vary according to what flavour of poker you're on about.Presuming texas holdem - I can't tell you waht the actual odds are, but pocket aces are a good start. If nothing much comes out then you've got an almost unbeatable pair. I don't like them though, it's just a pair and the chances of it becoming more than that are minimal.
Jack 9 suited would be my hand of preferrence from those three, though there is a danger you're going to bet on a run/flush coming out when the chances are tiny.
You never know what'll come up on the flop though, don't throw your cards away too early or think you're going to win based on the two you've been dealt.

I haven't a clue about pokerbut Betfair offered my a free £5 to play on the poker if I knew the answer. I thought it was worth a go, I might acquire beginners luck.

From the above posti would seriously advise you not to play poker - you will lose.

Yeah, mostly.It's not about being good, it's about being better than those you're playing with.

It seems to work best if you have one speech following another - don't try and interrupt each other - unless you both are natural showmen you'll sound like the narrators at a school nativity.
Don't sweat the speech: people want you to be funny - but generally won't heckle unless you're nasty.
The first time i did best man, i put a prop gag on the desk - i told everyone about the happy couples honeymoon touring Morocco, and they could all keep up with where they were going with a handy map in an envelope on their table. In the envelope was a piece of sandpaper. It raised chuckles, however i hadn't planned on the destructive capabilities of over excited children, sandpaper and the oak-panelled Wakefield town hall

I would go for:Suffocated by mirrors, stained by dreams
Her honey belly pulls the seams
Curves are still upon the hinge
Pale zeros tinge the tiger skin
Moist as grass, ripe and heavy as the night
The sponge is full, well out of sight
All around the conversations
Icing on the warm flesh cake
Light creeps through her secret tunnels
Sucked into the open spaces
Burning out in sudden flashes
Draining blood from well-fed faces
Desires form in subtle whispers
Flex the muscles in denial
Up and down its pristine cage
So the music, so the trial
Vows of sacrifice, headless chickens
Dance in circles, they the blessed
Man and wife, undressed by all
Their grafted trunks in heat possessed
Even as the soft skins tingle
They mingle with the homeless mother
Who loves the day but lives another
That once was hers
The worried father, long lost lover
Brushes ashes with his broom
Rehearses jokes to fly and hover
Bursting over the bride and groom
And the talk goes on
Memories crash on tireless waves
The lifeguards whom the winter saves
Silence falls the guillotine
All the doors are shut
Nervous hands grip tight the knife
In the darkness, till the cake is cut
Passed around, in little pieces
The body and the flesh
The family and the fishing-net
And another in the mesh
The body and the flesh
Her honey belly pulls the seams
Curves are still upon the hinge
Pale zeros tinge the tiger skin
Moist as grass, ripe and heavy as the night

i've done two best man speeches in my lifeone was the best public speaking I've ever done
and the other was as a co best man with natman and it was a nightmare.
a good way to do it would be if one of you tells the family friendly version of every story and then the other one tells the gorey truth as if they were doing a translation into another language?

HA!!at least I didn't randomly produce a leek from under the table without having set up the joke!
no, seriously, I'm sure we would've both been fine on our own, but together we were rubbish.
We weren't helped by the fact that the father of the bride went on for about 3/4 an hour before we started though...

We weren't helped by the fact that the father of the bride went on for about 3/4 an hour before we started though...
It wasn't a random leek..The groom told me after he's met his future wife for the first time "I'd give her a good root"
So I told her, and her family and everyone else, and then gave her a big leek.
which isn't acually a root I suppose. Maybe a turnip would've been better.

This could work if done well.Anyway the last time you did a wedding speech the bride and groom were murdered and you were number one suspect. I remember it well. You were on the front page of all the national papers.
I think that's what happened. There may be some errors.
that has elements of truth in itbut not in the correct order
The last one I sawinvolved the best man surrepticiously handing around keys to various women before the reception. During the speech he mentioned that the groom has been dating for quite a while and used to hand out his door key to every woman he dated and could they possibly hand the keys back in, the women with they keys (including the brides very big aunty and the heavily pregnant bridemaid) all handed the keys in and finally one of the groom's friend's (male) got up and slammed the key on the table calling the groom a bitch.
There was also a point where the groom's best friend (not best man) got up and had a stand up argument with the best man and the groom about how the groom chose his brother over him and then proceeded to tell his own stories, most of which I couldn't understand because he was very very Northern Irish

I saw the key thingon You've Been Framed when Beadle was still presenting it
I'd not seen it beforeand found it amusing
It is good,but I'd worry about it's age if I were planning on doing it
Wellthis was only in August so I think it stands up
the key thing happened at a friends wedding about the bride giving out the keysone entire table of blokes, who happened to be the rugby team from uni all got up in a line and it ended with the grooms father being the last one to hand over the keys, the grooms father happened to be the Vicar as well

For some reason Lynx Boxsets..... are still a popular grandparent to grandson Christmas present....
It's a"I didn't know what to get you but everyone likes lynx right?" type of present
alot of placesit's fairly difficult to get anything else, sometimes. I think in most Supermarkets blokes get a choice of about 3 deodorants.
I get one every yearfrom my mother.
I still love the smell of lynx africa.

Sometimeswhat I type and what I mean don't seem related at all.
Haha! Chances he was spraying itfor something more than the "lovely" smell?
Good chance he was huffing it I would think . . .
Good chance he was huffing it I would think . . .
Coroner thinks not Hard one to prove If he had only tried it twice and collapsed both times there wouldn't be any real evidence
Solvent abuse kills . . . and also gives a rather odd high (from what I remember of my formative years)
considering the kid was in the bathI really don't think he'd have been putting deodorant on before washing...
that's the second case like that I've heard ofboth have happened in an enclosed space, with a young lad who enjoyed deodorising far too much

that's cool.I have a TV card but:
1) I don't get terrestrial reception
2) the cable tv box is two storeys below my PC
3) I only have two PCI ports. This is a pathetic number. At the moment I have my terminal server card and parallel port card in there.
4) TV through the card always seems rubbish - much worse than downloading the same content. I'm aware this may be something I'm doing or the crapness of my card, but I've never been impressed and every couple of years I but a tuner card. Occasionally it'd be nice to play an old console without having to plug another telly in.

I'm guessing you're commuting and not moving? yup commute time for meit's forced me to start learning to drive which is cool though
Cool.I only passed in March. Commuting isn't half giving me bad habbits though.

Get him to go contract maybe, doesn't have to move for good and can shift around, and what with the higher contract wages and lower cost of living in the sticks, he could live like a lord.
edit: not that Bristol is exactly 'the sticks', anyway

We could do with an in-house techmonkey.He would have to live in the loft, but I guess we could let him down to watch CSI now and again.
expect him to break out iron-man style in a suit of armourmade out of your old photo albums and train sets
This is _my_ atticHe'll break out in a suit made of bits of ikea reject wood, powered by a softmodded xbox with a dremel and a sega saturn lightgun as weapons.
"GOD HELP US ALL" WHY PUT ME ON HOLD?I wait 20 minutes and then as soon as I get through they ask for my name and reference and then say 'bear with me whilst I enter your details' and I have to listen to still more Celine Dion.
Why can they not look without giving me the shitty music? What are they doing that means that they cannot speak to me?
Cunts?
What is your favourite tea?

Earl Grey?Isn't that just tea with a splash of perfume?
yes Thought soAs you were
English Breakfastwith two sugars, after a fry up, on saturday morning
This is an excellent choice. it's the only thing thatdissolves the grease properly
Milk and oneplease
Edit: Am I the only one here that likes normal tea? i.e PG Tips, Tetleys etc.
Edit: Am I the only one here that likes normal tea? i.e PG Tips, Tetleys etc.
No.I think Yorkshire Gold is posh.
Normal teatastes the same as English Breakfast to me. That's what I drink.
PG Tipssmells way better than it tastes. Tetley is better, but I'd still rather get Assam for that fresh, slightly caramelly, slightly honeyish, slightly maltish flavour.
nahwhatever's cheapo for me mostly
I like normal teabrewed on the strong side with a splash of milk.
I don't like much milk at all, milky tea makes me feel sick after more than one cup. For this reason I tend to drink black coffee at work.

NoI can't function without buckets of Pg Tips or similar.
Assam, made stronger than heroin, with two sugars.I hate the phrase 'bear with me'. It's like saying "Look, I've got a difficult job to do, and you're making it more difficult, so bear with me while I try to make your day as shitty as mine".

You're gay as fuck, so you'll possibly appreciate this.I like two spoons of Assam and 1 of Earl Grey (or I'll settle for a bag of each) in a pot more than anything else, yet I would always rate English Breakfast over Assam alone and I dislike EG neat.
Milk and 2 sugars for Manley too.

AAAAAAARRRRRRGGGGGGGHHHHHH!*agrees with the hippy, mostly*
I love that mix of Assam and EG too, though I prefer Assam to EB. EG is too perfumed to drink neat.
Thing is, I've been getting massively into coffee lately, and have discovered that a fresh ground decaff Lavazza latte, 2/3 milk, 1/3 strong coffee, with honey instead of sugar, is ALL the lovely. I have an enormous one on the go right now.

I am not really allowed coffee.

I have separate spices, so star anise, coriander, cinnamon, etcrather than a pre-mixed batch.

Cardamom, vanilla, bay, black pepper,cloves, ginger, mace and nutmeg are all good additions.
you 2 are the same person, you know that right? WhyIoughta! Hmm, Never tried Mace in there.I have added vanilla by virtue of having not enough regular sugar, but I did not enjoy that so much - it became a little too smooth.
There is an obvious other addition which I enjoy.

Gayer Technically, Orange Pekoeisn't a type of tea, it's a term used to describe a basic, generic black tea, where all the leaves are from the same plant, and are of the same size. The orange refers to the colour of the unmilked tea when it's been made and... erm, I can't remember what Pekoe means, but I do know it means loose tea and not tea bags...
I had no ideaOk, specifically the Orange Pekoe tea served at The Print Room in Bournemouth.
Black tea Strong black tea
Milk and sugar? No milk2 sugars
Wrong.Tea without milk is wrong.
I see.You meant black as in 'without milk'.
Indeed I tried it first when the milk had gone off and discovered that tea tastes much better without milk
I always drink black coffee as well

You see, I thought you meant black teaas in black tea as opposed to green tea, for example, but you actually meant black tea as in black tea, as opposed to with milk, for example.
Hilarity!

Are you on the list? I lied about my address in spain they don't have milk with teaif you ask for milk with tea you get hot milk with a teabag in it
Pork chopsis my favourite tea
PG Tips, Typhoo, something like that.Strong, lots of milk and a sugar.
I don't like those fancy teas and I absolute hate fruit/flavoured teas.

I agreebut EB and Assam are neither terribly fancy, they are just good tea.
We filmed a talkby the MD of Lancashire Tea last week and managed to bag a load of his tea bags, very nice they are.
WANT! GreenJust a pinch of leaf is sufficient
Yogi Yogi ChaiAs made by the fine folks at Tchai-Ovna in Glasgow
My favourite tea is Earl Grey without milk or sugar,preferably made in a pot, but I do like the bagged variety.
I also like English breakfast tea, again without milk or sugar.
Tea should never ever have milk in it in my opinion.

I put milk and sugar inmainly to disguise the taste of the tea
don't drink tea then,find a beverage you enjoy.
I don't drink it very oftenbut when I fancy a hot drink I like milky sweetish tea
