Will this Olympics have the first Decathlon winner decided by the Duckworth Lewis System?

But the accent is comical and they know it. I don't think I could take a bit of bad news there without feeling like I was going to laugh about it. That is all.

I remember Dello posting a celeb voice-over by Telly Savalas praising Birmingham back in the C4 days. Farked if I can find it on t'Interweb but. It is referenced a few times but can't find the actual clip.

Diabolical place. I must have had a wave of nostalgia...

Gosh, it looks beautiful. Wish I lived there.

Cheers krikri, but unfortch it says (for me) "The uploader has not made this video available in your country."

From memory I ain't missing much. Cool

I want to live in Birmingham, it has a rag market, I was in crafty heaven. And it has an H&M. Die happy. Cool

by Brass Monkey Wed 11 Jul 2012, 21:41

'And it has an H&M'??

Every tinpot town has an H&M!

by iieee Wed 11 Jul 2012, 22:15

My tinpot town, which even has the gall to call itself a "city" does not have H&M. :'(

by Brass Monkey Wed 11 Jul 2012, 22:46

Jesus, what's it called - Seventiestown? Move on, iieee, you're better than that!

by iieee Wed 11 Jul 2012, 22:56

I don't have a job or any money so no can do! Probably just as well we don't have one. But I do have internetz :ninja:

by Brass Monkey Wed 11 Jul 2012, 23:04

Well, H&M is pants anyway. Charity shops are where it's at. For womens anyway. Blokes have a choice of a medium sized 1982 stonewashed demin jacket and a jizz-stained pair of gun metal grey trousers.

by iieee Wed 11 Jul 2012, 23:21

The trick is to take the trousers off before you start. Wink

Charity shops here = primarni clothes at primarni prices with a slight markup, as they come pre-shrunk/misshapen/bobbly.

by Brass Monkey Wed 11 Jul 2012, 23:27

No, I never had them on.

Nothing good in charity shops? The womens I know get all sorts in there - all sorts - Topshop, Roxy, Republic... I think the old shoppies don't know WTF they've got.

by iieee Wed 11 Jul 2012, 23:31

That's just what they tell you, when you ask how much it cost. Razz

by Brass Monkey Wed 11 Jul 2012, 23:33

You know, that's a damn good point - I'm going to start asking for receipts. I've been hoodwinked. Hoodwinked I tell ya! Can't believe I fell for the old switcheroo.

by iieee Wed 11 Jul 2012, 23:41

They are damn sneaky, those females.

by Brass Monkey Wed 11 Jul 2012, 23:47

Terrible. Terrible people. Bald-faced liars, the lot of them.

by Demelza Tue 27 Nov 2012, 10:41

Mud, glorious bloody mud!
Really fed up with all the rain we're getting. Where's the snow? Laughing

by skully Tue 27 Nov 2012, 10:43

Heaving down in Spivtown as we speak. One of them late evening bombers after a hot humid day affairs. All good for the lawn and garden.

Ooh, doesn't that kind of weather = big bastard spiders?

by Brass Monkey Tue 27 Nov 2012, 11:00

Flood, glorious flood

by taipan Tue 27 Nov 2012, 11:05

Might I mention that it is beautiful here and I have my air con set down low.
