The Locker Room

I work in a building society and a conference centre working weddings :) might be interesting to see what everyone used to do Josh

http://www.policeoracle.com/news/The-Couple-Behind-Baby-Ps-Death_19926.html There are not enough nasty words to describe this Scum and Garbage that is allowed to exist in society. When they come out of prison, we the tax payers, are going to pay for them to be protected and given new identities. They should be told to make their own way and fend for themselves. I for one wouldn't be too upset if when released, someone took them down a dark alley and gave them some of their own medicine. Lets hope they have a real tough time inside.

Just in case this slips past people's notice... http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/sci/tech/8193769.stm

We were walking through a wood plantation today and this is what we spotted: This photo doesn't do the spidey justice and I will post my photos when they are developed. It is a Giant Wood Spider. It's width including legs spans my hand. It's about five inches long. It's an orb weaver and the web was like kelvar woven between two acacia trees. It just sprang back every time we touched it. It's fast mover, beautifully black with a yellow face and yellow stripe down the back. The legs are sturdy and long. There were lots and lots of spiders on the plantation; webs everywhere. I felt so at home.

Banks are punishing borrowers with some of the highest lending rates on record, alarming figures show.

Ten pence overdrawn, got a £25.00 charge for that. In future if they need money, they can call up their mates in the government, that lot will i`m sure happily bail them out.

We are off to Wembley on Sunday to see the Charity Shield match Utd v Chelsea, we are taking the girls (both just 5) We have booked a space in the car park, and anticipate ETA to be 1000hrs ish (why do I always sound like I am arranging a military excercise!!) So any pointers, all advice welcome. I have never been before to the new or old stadium, I am sure everyone will be in fine singing voice! seems to have been a long wait for the new season! Just wondered as kick off isnt until 1500 and the stadium doesnt let us in until 1300, if there is a local pub that allows football supporters with children in, or somewhere to eat that won't cost the earth??

Massive meteor shower tonight and tomorrow night; the Perseids. Saw 5 in 5 minutes just now, but it will be full force before dawn tomorrow and tomorrow night. Beautiful.

I'm not usually one for posting warnings about potential scams but I had a close call yesterday. I walked into B&Q hardware store at lunchtime and some old guy dressed in a black shirt with an orange apron on asked me if I wanted decking. Fortunately, I got the first punch in and sorted the fellow out. Those less suspecting might not be so lucky!! Pass this warning on ranroz2009-08-12 23:00:21

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/europe/greece/5985733/Greek-woman-sets-fire-to-Britons-genitals.html I bet that was slightly painful. Usual quote from friends and family, 'he's a nice boy, he wouldn't do that'. How many times have we heard that only to find out later that they were behaving like yobs. Maverick222009-08-07 16:17:38
