  1. Guess it's why he's a heart before head man? All the best KK.
  2. From Wiki; "Lupercalia Main article: Lupercalia Though popular modern sources link unspecified Greco-Roman February holidays alleged to be devoted to fertility and love to St Valentine's Day, Professor Jack Oruch of the University of Kansas argued[19] that prior to Chaucer, no links between the Saints named Valentinus and romantic love existed. Earlier links as described above were focused on sacrifice rather than romantic love. In the ancient Athenian calendar the period between mid-January and mid-February was the month of Gamelion, dedicated to the sacred marriage of Zeus and Hera. In Ancient Rome, Lupercalia, observed February 13 through 15, was an archaic rite connected to fertility. Lupercalia was a festival local to the city of Rome. The more general Festival of Juno Februa, meaning "Juno the purifier "or "the chaste Juno," was celebrated on February 13-14. Pope Gelasius I (492-496) abolished Lupercalia. It is a common opinion that the Christian church may have decided to celebrate Valentine's feast day in the middle of February in an effort to Christianize celebrations of the pagan Lupercalia, and that a commemorative feast was established in 496 by Pope Gelasius I, of those "... whose names are justly reverenced among men, but whose acts are known only to God," among whom was Valentine, was set for the useful day. Alternatively, William M. Green argues that the Catholic Church could not abolish the deeply rooted Lupercalia festival, so the church set aside a day to honor the Virgin Mary.[20]"
  3. You're not alone Snakey. I'll be cooking a meal of Mrs. Fist's choice tonight, but cards etc? Pfft.
  4. I wouldn't wor lass is fat, but the last time I kicked her downstairs I thought Eastenders was starting.
  5. My wife isn't that bothered about Valentine's Day tommorow. The fat bitch is too excited about pancake day on Tuesday to even care.
  6. Reading the article below, it seems the chances of Neanderthals being cloned for study are no longer sci-fi. Even if we can, should we? http://www.archaeology.org/1003/etc/neanderthals.html
  7. Glad I was looking at other, more 'interesting' things What was the stroke rate? assuming you were watching the swimming ,like
  8. I agree tbh, although I think they should go a step further and ban beards more than 10cm in length. As Stevie "I'm half indian and my best friend's a muslim BUT..." said, they only make them look even uglier. bang goes the chance to see ZZTop in Paris Leazes does comedy
  9. These often raise a chuckle.... ...Bacon! (btw, it's The Suggestibles, Newcastle based improv group)

    Just for the record, I didn't carry out the ban despite what 'Barry Davies' is trying to post. A 'cunt' I maybe but the decision was unanimous and has been for some time, it was simply a case of someone carrying it out and being prepared to take the flak for it. And those questioning the decision can fuck off. He's been taking the piss for far too long and I (and the other admins) have had plenty of PMs asking for us to do something about him. He's only the 2nd person to be banned from this site and hopefully the last. FWIW Martin, he wasn't banned for that quote. Anyone wondering what he was banned for needs their heads examined tbh. Fuck me how did I miss this? And you went on to claim that you weren't being patronising? Insider the stalker
  11. teeth skin their of re-arrange the above
  12. My Monkey Glands tell me, 2-1 to us, they'll score 1st. Carroll and Lovenit for us.
  13. Probably best to stop antagonising the kid, you never know they may be a real nutter and track you down, could be a cyclepath or a homicycle maniac for that matter !! I wouldn't worry about him, he is a right bell! I'd imagine he's tyred of this now. Poor lads had his thread dérail(leur)ed.
  14. Someone please break this chain. Btw Wyki, you need to speak to the landlords Spokesman.
