mc5 - Each Move Must Consist Of Precisely Eight Words

nights is merely telling us he's a carpet.

Kim

People have told me that all my life.

I shouldn't stand for that. Trip them up.

Glad we resisted jokes about "shag" and "piles."

We have done so far. Melvyns and Chalfonts.

I'm off to Paris today. See you Sunday.

Chalky

'Ave a wondairful 'oleeday chère jhoosteen. À bientôt.

Pen, I hope that you aren't going alone.

Still on the pull at your age? Disgraceful!

I think Rosie has started talking to himself.

"Started", he witters. So little does he know.

Inkspot

He knows you know that I know now.

I am from Warlingham, Surrey. I know nothing.

But even in Warlingham, Surrey, knowledge is power.

That's why SEEboard delivers encyclopaedias but not electricity.

I taught a battery to play Trivial Pursuit.

And now I bet you win every time, Darren.

I've returned from Paris with a stinking cold :o(

Did you have to pay duty on it?

They could take half of it with pleasure

...once they arrested you for carrying illegal immigrants.

Je pense que vous avez un rhume puant.

Je veux vous montrer ma compétence en français.

What's the bloody French for 'Dead Ended Conversation'?

Conversation tout inutile. Shall we now move on?

Yes, let's. I have never known any French.

Irouléguy

Podemos hablar en Españnol, si lo quieren ustedes

Chalky

Now stop showing off and speak some English :-)

Enough linguistics. The rain has cleared over here.

That's because it has blown over this way

There's no peace for the wicked of Rickmansworth.

Now it is blowing a gale over here.

I doubt Admiral Beaufort would call it that.

I doubt Kenneth Branagh would call it that.

Where does Kenneth Branagh come in on this?

I just mentioned him. I did that indeed.

But is he an experienced marine meteorological observer?

Does that matter though? Julian Clary wouldn't either.

What has camping got to do with meteorology?

Irouléguy

Humans are the only species who go camping

I thought bears were particularly good at camping.

They defecate in woods but live in cities.

A big one circles the pole every night.

A bit like a pole dancer then, Rosie?

The women in this place are agreeably bawdy.

Trying to pole-dance, but not been to Poland

Trying to shop, but not been to Iceland.

Inkspot

No self will today, bought bar of chocolate.

No Will Self either, whom I rather like.

My new car is bloody full of water.

Have you driven it off of a bridge?

No, I think the sunroof has a leak.

Did your penultimate post originally say "bloody water"?

How do you zap the commercials with TiVo

Daniel Kiviat is here!

Tuj, Can you speak French?

Who is Tuj?

Agatha Christie is constipated!

Did you hear about George Bush?

[Kiely] Please re-submit your posts with more words

That is rather ladylike but it may work.

Highly restrained,Pen, in my own humble opinion.

Why do people think this is live chat?

coz there saddos who nevr go out yeah

Well we are alive and chatting, so it is.

Did I detect an extra word just then?

Yes, that is true. I cannot count. Bollocks.

CdM

[Insert joke about doctor who cannot count bollocks.]

Attention Lib: "Testes, testes. One, Two, One, Two."

Counting was not part of my medical degree.

Nor ENT, dermatology, anatomy. I make it up.

You should have some ability at jazz, then.

Jazz, perhaps, but life is random and chaotic!

I hope that's not true of medical procedures.

I have an exam tomorrow and feel very sick.

That is quite obvious from your extra word.

Oh, sigh. Not again. Life is tough.

I find averaging makes everything much much better.

We all hope you pass with flying colours.

Lib is still cheating, doubling up for sixteen.

So, Lib, was all the stress worth it?

It was horrible. Results out in a week.

My fingers are crossed, and it's not arthritis.

I'm bored. What shall we all do now?

We could all simultaneously shout "Points mean prizes!".

Points out that nobody has mentioned Christmas yet.

Points mean prizes! Points mean prizes! Join in!!

The first person to mention Christmas here loses.

Raak

Is it ok to mention the Holiday Season?

We haven't put the office decorations up yet.

Don't forget to do a Risk Assessment first.

Exam results are out. I failed. Sigh. Weep.

Oh that's too bad Lib. A bad fail?

Sorry pen. However I passed. I'm now MEng.

Obviously I meant commiserations to Lib not pen. :-0

Congrats, Softers. Was that recently? So what now?

No marks. Doing again April. Well done Softy!

Thanks Lib and pen. What next? Nothing really.

There's an unusually bright object in the sky.

I've seen it too. The temperature dropped today.

We has a touch of frost overnight here.

That's no excuse for yokel-like grammatical infelicities.

Have you caught my non counting bug, Rosie?

I think hyphenated words should count as two.

I'm away for Christmas; therefore may not post.

Merry Christmas to all; back for New Year.

I'm working Christmas nights so may post lots.

I'm fixing wireless for mummy, can I post?

She'll be able to hear the Light Programme.

Puckoon

But the 'Light Programme' no longer exists, Rosie.

Nor the word "wireless" as of old. Geddit?

It only worked for twenty minutes, f*ck it.

(pen) No, you f*ck it; I'll hold it.

I'm back. When's my turn to f*ck it?

Inkspot

Done mine, now when do I get paid?

It has gone very quiet here this year.

I have just booked myself a September holiday :o)

Something worthy, such as examining extinct Icelandic volcanoes?

Phil

I've booked a holiday in Cathar castle country

No, it's haymaking in Hertfordshire, for four days.

(pen) That sounds fun, whether literal or metaphorical.

I'm going to Salford to visit my son.

[Softers] Wave at Stockport. I'll wave back, probably.

Lib IS Stockport, a town with a personality.

Stockport certainly lacks personality, I have stolen it.

I'll wave at Stockport, should I recongize it.

It'll say "Stockport. Jumelée avec Fontainbleau" ou quelquechose.

En fait, il semble être jumelé avec Béziers

English now. Today I have bought a car.
