well I'll have to eenie, meenie, minie, moe it cos I aint even heard of nunna these.... an I youtubed them an all.... gotta say Mr Benn wins the theme music opening credits... Pipkins, even with it flea blown moth eaten scary arse rabbit would have been my favourite as a littleun... but I would have hated 1 & 2 with the condescending prick voice over, I hated being spoken down to when I was a kid and woulda just disengaged and caused some havoc around the house.... so I haven't checked dates... cos I'm going to trust sslip not to be sneaky... and I'm going with #2... even though #1 was the most patronising... however the boys sword fighting might have given it a bonus point. I guess 2. Fluffy guesses 1.

-2... getting must be catching.

-2 ... (JoE is still learning to count too )

-2... hey Door... having a good weekend?

-1... JoE-ski.... nice to see ya mate.

OMG @Wee fluffy me that is so sad. I just looked it up, what a horrible loss.

Socceroos go down 2-1 to the Frogs

@MrTitwank that was an awesome game and Ronaldo was awesome. Portugal is my second team after the Aussies because my uncle and cousin are Portugese and I doubt Australia will make it out of the groups.

Aussies playing France at right now... we aren't embarrassing ourselves at least but I think we are about to loose 2-1.

Celebrating my boys come from behind win today... wish they could play more than just the 4th quarter these comebacks are killin me boys and I'm sure the winning goal in the last minute did my heart no good... but it was beautiful to listen to you belt out the words to the song after the game... was wondering if you would all know the words cos its been a while. Oh and I'm watching the Aussies play France in the soccer... 0-0 at half time... great work boys... surprising the shit out of me right now cos I had this down as a 3-0 win for France...

This ones for our Saturday Boy ... that's right its @Sslipiddy-doo-dah:

1... well can I just say after a slow start Saturday really improves late in the afternoon... you can look forward to 30mins of sheer magic, beauty and perfection around 4.30ish.

1... mornin Lord Kent... sleep well?

Are you sure about that... I can't see anyone ahead of you... it must be an invisible man or something

So we have a baseball thread, and we have a soccer thread, and there was an ice hockey thread... its time for the 2nd most popular game in the world (true fact, but its cos Indians love it and they are 1/6th of the global popluation). This explains what cricket is for the yanks... in it he talks about the bowl of the centuary and they watch it... being a radio show you can't see it so I have posted the visual below as well.

How bloody good was that Portugal v Spain 3-3 draw. Best game of soccer I have ever watched. I think I get it now.. it was exciting.

Its set up to end at midnight (US so probably maryland) on 17th. I don't think Sslip will get an avatar. Althouugh the one below would work. I dunno what's happened to Whispers he seems to have vanished. Do you think he's hiding because he doesn't like the results?

Woohoo @Suz916 you little ripper. Wot a great frickin quit you have goin on. 3 months and it just seems like yesterday you joined our happy mob. Wot a great quit you have goin.

1... morning Gee-ski... morning Andy

Congratulations @Ellen for being 6 months smoke free. That's half way to the one year mark. We all hope you are doing well and enjoying being smoke free. You should be very proud of your quit. I hope you do something to spoil yourself today.

Congratulations @Suz916 on being 3 months smoke free!!!! Well done on Suz one of our lovely daily NOPErs 3 months is a big one, it means your 25% of the way to the Lido Deck, your have been a nonsmoker for 1/4 of a year. That is such a great start to the rest of your life as a nonsmoker. You should be super proud of your quit. Make sure you do something super special to celebrate this occasion and spoil yourself. Oh and as a special treat to our litte emoticon princess. Woohoo ????

Hi Zenith. 18 days cold turkey is fantastic. Well done on making the decision to quit. Its the best gift you will ever give yourself. The two biggest tips I can give you are take it one day at a time and read, read, read. Get as much knowledge as you can. There is a great group here and always someone who knows where your coming from because they have been there too. I look forward to seeing you around the boards.

Its an important decision for her. She wants to make sure she votes the right way don't you think?

From Romania we have the chocolatey goodness of the Joffre Cake... no apricots in sight.
