I didn't want to be a list that mentions Fowler, Torres and such like in all in anyways!
Ahem, on a list as opposed to being the list!
well you are 100% wrong about saying the US office is better than the UK one. It's good, but nowhere f*cking close.
...shame Merchant doesn't realist he's the person with talent.
Narocroc - Your pedantry is engaging to me, and after my review of 2008 I didn't want people getting the wrong impression. Y'know. Sexually.
B - We'll have to agree to you being wrong on this one.
Hurry up and get started on writing the story of Twenty Quid *lol*
Careful what you wish for, Dot.
Glad I made your list Radge - I'm only your skin and blister after all!!!
B - For once Radge is right. Ricky Gervais annoys me in ways I can only explain with the use of hand gestures!!!!
Dot - you're right - he needs to get blogging about Twenty Quid, mainly so I can take the piss out of him.....
where can we learn more about 28?
Red - No. 28 could ruffle some feathers.
Elmo - Are you planning a coup???
Yes. Yes I am.
Am I the only one thought this would be a list of 50 hot women?
Yes. Yes I am.
**slopes off**
That will be a future entry. 'Radge rates the supertramps.'
& for 51: a paddle in the pool
or perhaps Radge's perusal friendly coffee table book. "500 women I'd like to pork"
I like that list, especially all the mysterious ones like the hug and the twenty quid.
Am VASTLY relieved meanwhile, to find Elmo's a blogger and not that damn squeaky red thing that sets my nerves on end...I was a bit worried about you for a moment...
AG - Shuddup about that!!
Red - 500 might be a bit of a struggle, he lied.
Susan - Elmo: Blogger/sister/general mischievant.
Yep, the "bookshop hug" sounds like the next tale I'd like to hear you tell. Please, she asked politely, wondering if Elmo was anything like her own march-to-her-own-drummer sister.
Just want to know why I only made it to number 26 - should have been no. 1!!!!!
B: I would genuinely beat the shizzle outta you if you said that to me while I am violently drunk
...possibly true unfortunately
"The way her eyebrow arches" - are we getting some now, Radge?
Hope - The hug in the bookshop won't be telt, unfortunately.
Maimie - The list was not in order of preference!
B - Shizzle?
Kath - We're not. We wish we were.
yeah, shizzle, no?
Intriguing list...you really are one for the carrot and the donkey.
I too want to know more about
a)the hug in the bookshop (cos im a gossipy girl)
b)the way her eyebrow arches
and c)your misgivings over UK/US office. UK is, in fact, much better. so there.
Oh and I'm delighted im on it too :)
Sarah - Carrot and the donkey?
a) That one was years ago.
b) Unrequited love is a cunt.
c) See my note to 'B'.
And it's thawly deserved!
Radge, carrot and donkey = suspense...dangling the proverbial carrot in front of the proverbial donkey?
i.e, you leave us lonesome readers hanging ;)
ok fine, that one was years ago, still want to know.
as for unrequited love, who hasn't been there, especially involving a 6 foot painter.
I will agree that you are wrong this one time. That is all.
And I'm a stubborn hoor.
because i am drunk and i read over this comment i realise it makes no sense.
6 ft painters =unrequited love
wrong this time= UK office
stubborn hoor = all of above
Got you the first time actually, Sarah. Most people wouldn't but I'm a serious catch, me.
I'm sure you are. And telepathic to boot. I'm sobering up now and on the hunt for fags.
Wish me lci=uk. I mean luck,.
Breast of luck, mademoiselle..
51. Burying my parents in the wrong grave, twice.
Is that where the name Holemaster came from, Holemaster? Just a thought.
No it's from seeing it written on the side of a van and now I'm stuck with it.
Better than getting it from an Irvine Welsh, novel, I suppose.
Nodded at 49* and 48 (and found myself wondering why I went with cheap wine instead of beer tonight)
Smiled at 37 (in the middle of a season 4 marathon)
Leaned back at 31 (i'm a peacemaker)
Blushed at 17 (my mind clearly wandered to a naughty place)
Giggled at 1 (because stds are always funny)
*I've found reading lists backwards to be highly effective...or something... :)
Go on Radge, give us Twenty Quid.
(not the story mind, the money, like)
-v- - 17 was meant as anything but naughty, actually the look on my big sister's face when she's pissed off. Also a big fan of the backwards reading.
Darragh - Get me drunk first.
