I have tears rolling down my face- check this thread out...

Ooh will check that out FWK Reign has some ridiculous lines

icemist - the dinosaur thing is brilliant!

Sweet Jesus icemist, that thread needs to come with a health warning. Only on page 2 and I've nearly choked myself with laughter.

Omg! Surely it must be a wind up? Can't wait to show it to the palaeontologist in my family!

Oh good grief. I only read the first post of that dinosaurs thing and was in hysterics. After the removal of dinosaurs from the curriculum it will be compulsory teaching that the world is flat, the moon landings never took place and its a lie that you can't make gold from base metals!

If its not a total wind-up then that person needs to put their efforts into something that's actually worthwhile.

(P.S. Thanks for the kind comments as ever!)

It's mad isn't it!

It's actually terrifying that some people might believe that lunacy. Far more sensible to believe that CJ is alive and ready and willing to attend to our needs on a swivel chair! And I really mean that!

I saw the Cadburys advert with the swivel chairs this evening and had the obligatory giggle about it, which I then told my DH was because it was funny but I couldn't possibly explain why. Has anyone suggested synchronised swivel chair sessions for the AGM or did I just dream it?

For some reason that Moneysupermarket.com advert with the man in hot pants and heels creases me up every time. I just love the way that man struts like a Diva and then twerks!

I've not seen the Cadbury ad yet... Would help if I watched ITV...

Showed hubby the dinosaur stuff- he was laughing just as much as me

Glad one of our volumes does not feature on the 'one to read' list....

Here is the link to the Cadbury ad

Waiting for kids to sleep before I look a dinosaur stuff ... But while I was waiting, was pleased to see that CJ has a swivel chair in his digs at Bastion :)

He's been practising his manoeuvres for us already

Thanks for link will watch shortly

richtea I suggested synchro swiveling as a possible Olympic sport.

Flabbergasted that there is such a thing as dino porn. Am still reading the dino denier thread and texting snippets to dp who is away.

Seeing as he's with a group of palaeontologists it's going down well!

That dinosaur thread is ridiculous!!! Are these people for real??

nickel well spotted swivel chair, I wonder if that one has a side pump? Not quite a painted leather one with controls, but really I'm not that fussy :)

Synchro swivel would be a great addition to the Olympics, but also a must for the Wrestling, perhaps a warm up session before the main event.

I think if I was in CJs digs, I wouldn't be the side pump I'd be concentrating on!?! (Cjwoof must be busy this evening to have missed that!) :)

Right, best look at the dino stuff, just for research of course!

What's that draped over the back of CJ's swivel? Is it a towel? If so, does that suggest swiveling is a hot and sweaty activity needing a towelling down afterwards? (I do hope so).

Evening all just back from a long trip to
in the words of Smurf "the Venice of Wales" set off at 5am need to get back writing the FF but to engrossed in catching up on reading others and what's going on here whilst I have been gone

pours wine

dons slanket

opens laptop

Shall we have a competition to see who can stay awake the longest painted?

pixie ok....but the weight of my eyelids currently suggests I will shortly be defeated

I'd better type faster before my fingers freeze.

Ladies, how's this for starters. There must be a number of others I've missed out so shout them out and I will add them in. I put them all into a spreadsheet but you don't seem to be able to upload spreadsheets here, just photos. Consequently, the format is a bit odd, sorry.

THE CJ COLLECTIVE

How to Talk CJ Collective - A Handbook for the Silly yet Sophisticated

YOU KNOW YOU ARE A FULLY FUCTIONING MEMBER OF THE CJ COLLECTIVE WHEN YOU USE OR AT LEAST UNDERSTAND THE FOLLOWING ON A REGULAR BASIS. EXPLANATIONS ARE BELOW FOR THOSE LESS WELL INFORMED.

Bulge A study of CJ's dressing etiquette. Icemist is the current Bulge champion

Coco Pops Has a particular sexual connotation

Decompression/normalisation The ability to believe that Our Girl was an excellent series on television which you watched only once. Either that or you bought the DVD afterwards and have since stopped watching it and sent it to the charity shop.

Ditto You are allowed to laugh at this if it is said in all innocence in a work meeting

Stay focused, stay alert, stay alive A term of encouragement

Swivel chair A sex aid!

Team meeting/staff meeting/planning meeting Excuse for sex in the office.

Oh the format looks awful, but you get the gist and maybe Head of IT icemist can do something with it.

ilove that is brilliant!!! I am back in the office tomorrow, so will enjoy my swivel chair, but will probably avoid any team meetings ... on the basis that there is now absolutely no way that I will be able to concentrate on what is actually happening, and will probably be sacked for the silly smirk that will be on my face!!

ilove fantastic!! A perfect pocket book of euphemisms! Shall we add Stag Pants? I'm trying to think of others too. Off to bed so will have a think, and hope to have a CJ related dream :)

Definitely stag pants, and possibly something about the general stag obsession.

QF as prepared by RL Chris
