pmh is my favouritist Goose of all time, closely followed by your good self, although your not a Goose of course

If i'm being honest if you actually DID come out of your house in your dressing gown and flip flops weilding a knife and then diving through foliage I doubt the actual type of knife would matter very little when the police were called.

I'd forgotten about this! A thread from a gentler, quieter time.

Not a bad idea,one can ponder on things,such as when people say,"I turned round and said............."
If they did that they would in fact be not talking to the person who was in front of them.

Why thank you!


I am not sure that there will be widespread agreement with you though!

Remember people, you've only got until 11.59pm tomorrow to get your London 2012 ticket application in.

Just done mine, if I get all the tickets I've applied for (which I won't because some are for really popular events) it'll set me back just short of fifteen hundred quid. Ms. pmh will go mental when she gets back from work!

Morning, gorgeous. What events have you gone for? Clay-pigeon shooting? What a lovely weekend I've had. 5 and a half hours of good mood left. Shopping for kids cagoules at Millets shortly. Top activity for a Bank Holiday.

Bit of all sorts, 100m final, so no chance of that really.
Afternoon session and evening session of the second day of the heptathlon, so hopefully Jessica Ennis won't be injured for once next year. All the athletics will be heavily over subscribed so that's fingers crossed.
Some of the boxing finals, so again, probably won't get in for that.
Men's track cycling sprint finals, again, I'll need a lot of luck to get in for that.
Some gymnastics, don't know anything about it but I find it incredible as to what they can do, might have a chance with that.
Weightlifting, might have a chance with that, only ever watch it at the Olympics.
I might add a couple more things later on.

You're taking the kids to Millets? Have they been naughty?

I'd read somewhere that they take payments from everyone who has applied so that there is a pool of people who have paid, they then select the 'winners' and refund the people who are unsuccessful.

Not correct as far as i am aware; i got told you only pay for what you have been selected for.

Was watching something this morning and it said that they applied for everything they wanted to see - if they got them all it would of been 25k!!!

Yes, and you can also sell them back at face value if by some miracle you do get all the tickets you apply for.

I'll definitely get to something, even if it's archery or something I wouldn't not normally be interested in. You can't have the Olympics in your own country and not go.

Yes you can, i have no interest in going and paying for that in the slightest.

8hrs in traffic trying to get round the M25. no thank you, a bottle of Becks, a BBQ and a tv in the Garden is how i will role.
