Earl Grey is the name of the brand i think.

On another note, if any of you lads are planning on, or even have previously attended music festivals and have a few minutes spare it would be much appreciated if you filled out the survey that I have linked in my sig,Double-decker bus enthusiast

5sp, I've actually been pondering this myself recently.
Theres a problem obviously when the tournament enters the 'slow everything down and crawl past the bubble' phase.
And also at some stage there are so few tables left that there is nowhere for you to be transported to when you finish a hand (or hit the quick fold button etc).
But in the early stages I don't see why it wouldn't work.

The other day I was driving into town at 1:45 and as Marty was playing something annoying on Lyric and I didn't have my MP3 player so I left Liveline with Joe run.
First punter up is a Woman from Kells who is having a problem that at her house, the car remote controls and a garage door remote have all stopped working in the last few weeks. She had tried a few things including calling the council who referred her to the Guards and they came and their car remote locking wouldn't work there either.
So obviously there is something going on within the Electromagnetic spectrum that is causing problem, some transmission or other that is creating interference. So I'm kind of interested now being a bit of a Radio and RF geek. This being our national radio station I expect that Joe is going to put her in touch with someone from a RF Lab in one of our colleges or maybe a senior engineer with Telecom or Vodafone ... Yea right.
First up is a locksmith whose theory on the cause of the problem is that she has installed a car alarm that is interfering . No She says its just what was bought with the car. OK then he says I'm fcuked if I know what it is then and our expert is gone.
For the next fifteen minutes there was a procession of the mildly mentally handicapped offering whatever ridonkulous theory came into their pea brained heads about the cause of the problem. One gobshyte insisted it was because there were people receiving Eastern European stations on their satellite dishes and my favourite a Woman who reckoned for some bizzare reason that the optical illusion at the Spelga Dam in the North where it appears that cars roll uphill was being caused by there being 'too much' water behind the dam and that if there was a lake with too much water in it near Kells then that was probably what was stopping the remote locking from working.
At that point I turned the radio off out of respect for my sanity.Last edited by Strewelpeter; 18-02-10, 15:47.Turning millions into thousands

Going to the British Museum on Saturday alright, bringing my friend there for her first visit (very exciting!), I've been there many many times but will no doubt find something new.
My hotel in Southwark is RIGHT beside the Tate but I was there a few years ago and did not enjoy it much; modern and contemporary art is just wasted on me, give me the old stuff anyday
Anyone ever play in the Empire on Leicester Sq? Much closer to me thanthe Vic on Edgware Rd.

Staying in Southwark tonight and South Kensington for rest of the weekend. Muchos gracias!
Between finishing work at 7 and time getting to a club means you might be as well to book a ticket online if you see one you fancy

a bit of coincidence thou, ur stop her seeing what she saw near the same stop. just wrong timing unless yere all killin each other down there and ppl have stopped counting.

I remember I worked in an office with a girl and she used to constantly drink this pu er tea. It was some kind of tea that was supposed to increase the speed of your metabolism and make her slim. So about four to five times a day she would come in with a cup of this tripe and it used to smell like some really pungent fish matter. It reminded me of driving through Killybegs - which itself is a minus.
Also, Lyons Gold Blend is solid. I went through a phase of using Lyons tea leaves which is definitely nicer but too messy to keep up.

For fruit teas you got to go with Lemon & Ginger or Peppermint and Eucalyptus. Twinings or Barry's do cheap and acceptable versions of both.Last edited by LuckyLloyd; 18-02-10, 17:58."Worldly wisdom teaches that it is better for reputation to fail conventionally than to succeed unconventionally." - John Maynard Keynes

Book a seat online on a Southern Trains going from Gatwick to London, usually able to pre-book for £5.50. Gatwick Express is 3 times that (though it is 2 minutes quicker).Pm for rakeback deals
