An important question regarding the forum

Post by Jon Corby »

When are you (Charlie) going to change the picture of Des & Carol to one of Jeff & Rachel?

Des & Carol disappear off our screens on December 12th, but Jeff & Rachel don't appear for a whole month later.

I personally think you should find some software which will gradually morph the picture of D&C into one of J&R between these dates.

I Googled 'morph' and found this, which I think should be used for the presenter-less period between 12/12 and 12/1:

Given the credit crunch, the events in Mumbai and AIDS in Africa, I think the word 'important' in the title of this thread is a tad inaccurate.

Interesting though.

What is important though is me and Gary Barlow discussing ABBA on Sunday nights Take That special. Sort of.

Thats right Kirk. If you would like more information I would recommend a publication called the Daily Mail.

Good, because you wouldn't get it from the Daily Mail (unless you were after some outlandish reaction to Muslims/Immigrants/Maddie/Diana/Baby P etc etc)

At least two of those are the sole content of the Daily Express, mate. Which is no less shit.

But werent the people who killed Diana Muslim immigrants who are doing decorating jobs for half the price of good old English craftsmen who also killed Maddie and locked up Josef Fritzls grandkids? And the Chinese are taking over the world which is why a load of people got killed in Mumbai which is mainly the result of paedofile rings.

It all makes sense when you think clearly.

WOAH! Just saw this (the clip, not the post)

Me & the missus finished watching a Sky-plussed 'Apparitions' and I flicked over to that stupid Peter Kay 'talent show' spoof thing and he was done up in drag as someone called "Geraldine". She goes "she was on that Take That thing I watched", pulled it up off the planner, started it, and there you were Matt asking a question from the audience! :shock: I was a bit freaked, as the show was an hour long, and she just happened to put your bit straight on, and I was like "omg I was sat next to him on Monday!"

And that's really how it happened.

There seem to be an awful lot of grown men who 'accidentally' flicked onto the 'exact channel' at the 'exact time' and saw me...

Even though I look like a complete gormless twat who is in love with Gary Barlow (of which I am guilty), heres the link:
