Nonsense, they're real women, just how men like them. All these modern deoderisers are far more harmful to you than good honest dirt.

Are you really Stig of the Dump? Eh?

Worse, Dump of the Stig.

The expression. "The sweet smell of success" Coems from the fact that Napoleon so loved Jospehine's body smells. If he won a victory he would send a messenger to her ordering her not to wash whilst he travelled home.

Some weeks later he would return to recieve his sweet reward.

I remember at university I once went for two weeks without washing my hair. I was testing the theory that it would cleanse itself.

Did it?

Yeah I'd bet she'd been eating garlic as well. These Frenchies!

Watched the second episode of The Pacific and the first episode of the new season of Breaking Bad last night. Both were excellent.

Flash Forward's back tonight on Five. I know a lot weren't that impressed on here, but I rather enjoyed it.

I gave up after one police character pointed out to another that a ton of birds died when the blackout happened, and the other one shrugged it off as coincidence. So stupid.

To be honest, the SF element is no less stupid than in your average episode of Doctor Who, which also seems to play fast and loose with logic.

You're trying to rile me by dissing Who! But it won't work. And Flash Forward is rubbish. And very, very dumb. With quite a few boring characters, especially that Fiennes fellow; he has the screen pressence of a cup.

Do they know what caused the blackouts yet? I know what's behind it in the original novel. I didn't read it, someone told me. I think in the book they saw thirty years into the future too, or something.

As if! Although I believe Flash Forward is more popular globally than Who! Fancy being trounced by something so dumb!

I suppose Who has only been popular for around forty seven years or so. Whistling nnocently

Also, The X Factor is massively popular. And American Idol. And any number of dumb shows! So nerr!

I thought everyone did, unless you were camping or something.

The advice is that we should save water by *not* showering every day. I shower daily, but I only have a small one.
Ooo matron.

I'm glad you did that joke and not me.

On Eggheads, that curious fellow CJ seems to have got his shirtsleeves all wet. What on earth's he been doing?
