I think this really belongs in the off-topic forum but I can't find a way to post a poll there. :evil:

I recall the late Kerry Packers comment "If you're not smoking 100 a day you're not smoking.."[/quote]Would that be the Kerry Packer that had eight heart attacks and died in his sixties? :twisted:

Yes Allan, it is the Kerry Packer who was the epitome of Australian modesty

At the risk of upsetting the vote, I've ticked each one 'cos it depends of whether it's Sunday, Monday, Tuesday.............

Stories abound about Packer. He was once playing in the high roller room at a Las Vegas casino (as you do). A very loud mouthed Yank was at the table telling everyone he was worth over $60 million.
Without raising his eyes Kerry said "I'll toss you for it".

That shut him up!!

After one of his heart attacks that rendered him "dead" for some minutes an intrepid reporter asked him if there was life thereafter etc. Kerry looked him straight in the eye and said "I've been there, lad and I can tell you there is **** all there".

Kojak, you woz robbed! I paid �68 for 2 return tickets!! Must admit that I was very lucky, at the time I logged on to the Easyjet site I hit a 24 hour sale.

Off to Barcelona for five days tomorrow; Barca v. Liverpool on Wednesday night :geek:

-one of the few last things on my football wish list.

Going to watch Espanyol on Thursday as well. Return flights and four nights in four star hotel for about 120 pounds. Easyjet and Expedia...

Sue - If I'd gone with my instincts 2 days before I could have got it for �30 return :evil:

Gee Sue you were lucky. I tried just last week to book a hire car in Dusseldorf from Easycar :idea: Spent ages filling in all the details only to be told I was already registered :evil: Went elsewhere :) . HOWEVER, all this talk about Kerry causes me to draw attention to the originally Canadian Conrad BLack :twisted: Now a U.K citizen AND LORD :D Sponsored into the Lords by Maggie the Hen and Peter :o Lord Carrington he gave up his Canadian citizenship. Looks as if he may go to Jail :evil: directly to Jail and not even collect $200 US :P Hope the Limeys will bail him out ;)

So Liverpool stuck it Barca

Some suspicious looking characters wearing RED shirts in the crowd looked to me as if they had been supping ale. :geek:

But looked in vain for a SymiVisitor T shirt :?:

Was someone still in the bar :?:

I have to tell you, having just recovered from pneumonia, 'flu and jaundice, I yesterday put my car in the garge for 24 hours to have some repairs done and - even though I haven't ridden on a bike for 26 years - I put a mountain bike in the back to ride the thremiles home.
All the lack of exercise, too much smoking and too much of the demon drink showed it's head. I was absolutely bollo**sed when I got off the bike (having use every one of the eighteen gears) ! I had to sit down for three hours to stop the pain and trembling thighs - it was only the five cigarettes and four bottles of Heineken that calmed me down ! :geek:
