Very funny - is it any surprise that the county with the highest number of wife sales was Yorkshire!

I tried to find an AFD joke on the BBC news site, the closest I came to was the Arsenal-Barcelona result. However I do like the Grauniad's "Step Outside Posh Boy" see here.

Not on the web, but, after messing me around somewhat, t-mobile have just told me they are about to send me my desire, the HTC Desire. "Yeah, ha ha," said I, "look at the date mate, like I REALLY believe that." ?|

Well, we're clearly an enterprising bunch, Mr Slink. Now, I've put you down for nice little mid-range model, few miles on the clock but the bodyworks not in too bad a nick...

He was only one the yard lads, but he knew how to tongue a tabloid.
