One of the glories of living in the UK are the numerous and much welcomed bank holidays. You poor yanks don't know you are living when it comes to enforced holidays. Yippee!

We're all excited about clark. I'm not sure about it's gender yet. I was also happy to see another newbie post over the weekend. I think it's name was ben or something.

Oh, that's why its so quiet. The cheek of them, eh? Just because they don't have to be at work doesn't mean they don't have to be here talking shite for my amusement.

Your loss. A clark bar is as close as you can come to heaven on Earth. As a young child, I used to trade all my Halloween candy with the other children for their clark bars. Sadly, they're hard to come by where I live now, although my wife generally makes a point of ordering me some online for my birthday.

But... they're made in Massachusetts!
I think there's even a NECCO factory store in Cambridge...
Coming soon: Ralph's 48 hour Clark bar bender.

You can order them online! I might have to track some down - is it a chocolate bar? what does it taste like?

Benway, shall I teach you how to type 'cunt'?
That t-shirt was a present from a girlfriend's brother. I like to think that I'm actually mocking it and the whole jock-casual world it represents. Especially considering that picture was taken in exactly the sort of pub where people wore A&F with naked aspiration.
yes I would like to say cunt
and happy birthday to my brother.

Sure it wasn’t a bad weekend, all things considered. I didn’t really do anything for my Birthday other than sit around playing computer games the whole time. I watched about half of the fairly rubbish low budget straight-to-dvd horror film Snakes on a Train while eating Pepperami Fire Sticks and a Bombay Bad Boy, which was nice, although I then fell asleep. Despite repeated visits to the pub I didn’t actually get drunk once since I was driving – a pleasure made all the more sweet by the fact I finally got round to getting a new soft top fitted to the Roadster this weekend, meaning that for once I was able to drive in the rain without a steady stream of water pouring in from the rain seal onto my right shoulder.
So all in all a reasonably subdued birthday and to be honest I’m starting to reach a point where the number of years I’ve been on the planet is scaring me a little bit, with recriminating thoughts about how I’ve probably wasted a good 5 years of my life by essentially doing nothing and finding myself in my mid twenties with no clearer an idea of how I’m going to spend the rest of my life than I did when I was in my mid teens. But then since a lot of my friends are older than me, I just get looked at funny when I say that it’s getting a bit worrying finding myself at the age of 24 all of a sudden, often with them retorting “24? That’s nothing! You wait till you hit 26 mate!” or words to that effect. But that’s not really any kind of comfort to me. Nor is having a girlfriend who, at 18 years of age, often finds herself on the receiving end of a slightly condescending “When I was your age, I had a great job and I was out all the time, felt like I was loaded I did…” which I say casually and with worrying conviction before I catch myself and decide simply to shut up. Which I’ll do now before I get accused of making people feel old.

Not to turn this into a F1 thread, but I just managed to find time to watch the race last night (DVRs are very handy sometimes). Has anyone else noticed that our house greeter Larry seems to have taken a position driving for BMW?
