"underneath the arches..."

tears rolling down me cheeks here

ah a great old song - not like this new stuff which just doesn't have a tune. I know, lets have a sing-a-long. "We'll meet again...."

later on, I'm going to stick a posting up with a big orange dot on it, and I want you all to concentrate really, really hard and then after about 10 seconds of intense concentration I'll want you all to shout "come on England, come on England, you can WIN, WIN, WIN ENGLAND!!!!"

and then England will be allowed to host the 2006 World Cup.

Piss easy this Geller lark.

he just keeps rolles-ing along

In my day, if you wanted to see a nice view over london you would go to the revolving restauraunt at the top of the post office tower. of course that's closed now that all the youngsters want to go to trendy eateries like Mash and Pharmacy mutter mutter dribble

bring back the fecking balloon

The power of 40%, eh? Blofeld, are you Uri Geller in disguise?

and I was just about post and ask if you could see them from your office as well and then someone in my office tells me they reckon that they're sightseeing things at Tower Bridge so I didn't bother posting and now I see you suffered a bad balloon experience last week and I'm glad I didn't bring the subject up. Eh...it's gone!!

There's a big balloon over Bournemouth at all times in the summer, taking sightseers about 150 feet into the sky (obviously - where else would they go to?)

Shh, senile dementia creeping in. I'll be the next to go.

bobbs what is this balloon thread all about?

Surprised you can see them at all, surely your eyesight is failing too.

still there - damn - these hallucinations must be caused by my advancing years

Walloons. Damn

Hercule Poirot and Herge (as in TinTin) inhale too much helium whilst on holiday in the English capital

"Two Wallons Floating over London"

orange alert! orange alert!

Lets get out out pea-shooters and shoot them down.

And it's a steel desk!

I'm so scared I'm grippin the edge of my desk hard enough to leave fingernail indents

The balloon's gonna burst soon for you matey boy unless you get a grip!

Balloon over Battersea UP
Balloon in City UP

bobbins have you woked out what it is?

phew! its up again - they are toying with us

Under your desk!!!! grab your tin hat and open the Bully Beef!

AAARRRRGGGHHHH! it's coming down!!!!!

They only need to take Balham (Gateway to the South) and the rest will fall. It is written.

There are ALWAYS balloons over London, spying on every move we make. We can't usually see them because of clouds. On a day like today when there are no clouds, they are visible.
One day the aliens in the balloons will come down and take over the world (or just Balham if the weather is bad).

Hmmmmmm, still refusing the tablets eh bobbins?

Goons, Ms Loretta's brother, Pob, met Nick Hornby last year, said he was a good bloke. It was funny because Pob is a Spur and obviously Nick Hornby isn't, so they exchanged slagging which was wuite funny.

shut the blind bobbins, the nasty balloons will go away.

Calm down and have a nap, do you want your comfort balnket?

bobbins - time for your nap I think.

is it really happening?

now ones going down. I'm losing my mind

now both balloons are up again

loretta - i've forgotten who you was before the Op.

i was in guildford most of teh time, just in Londonm on MOnday.

met nick hornby.

U is da banana!

It's up again. If thats a cloud, I'm a bananna

bobbins they are clouds......goons you were in Landan and you didn't let all the locals know. We vould have had a drink.....

jesus, dat is very very embarassing

Isis

one of them was parked, and being fired up late on friday night.

i could see it from the train heading south from waterloo - it was in a park.

when i came back on monday, it was airborn over the thames.

LOOK OUT OF THE WINDOWS NOW!!!! BIG FEKKING BALLOON OVER THE MIDDLE OF THE CITY

..and I can burp it backwards in 22 seconds - SO THERE!!! goes of to the pub to show friends and celebrate

done. if you group it as follows it has a certain poetic rhythm which is easy to remember

ZYX-WV
UTS-RQP
ONM-LKJ
IHGFEDCBA

hahaha. go on. try it.

no it's not it's a piece of piss (spends all night practicing - and has to apologise tomorrow for comment)

Gotta go (again) dinner awaits!

See you tomorrow

That's impressive tg

Always gets the ladies!

I can't do that but I can recite the alphabet backwards in under 5 seconds.

so can I

I can belch the alphabet, in consecutive burps. If I've been boozin' I can get it in one.

If a belch pops out then so be it, but I can't make myself belch.

leather trousers mmmmmmmmm

'cos he'll already have blamed it on his wife.

Jus' make 'em silent but deadly and blame them on the Old Colonel in the corner.

what about belching?

I may not be a proper lady, Bio, but i draw the line as farting in public.

Unless we're being invaded by Baron Munchausen and his troupe of performing monkeys or something.

…and farting in the sandwich tent no doubt tankie!

bobbins has been 'seeing balloons' out of his window…

ooh, I'd be there in me leather trousers and big boots, totally hatless, quaffing champagne and smoking tabs, taking the piss out of bejewelled ladies and their chinless aristo hubbies. What a blast!

shit, sorry.
what's this about balloons? Is it a cryptic message?

My Message

That's what I said! But she said she'd be damned if she was getting turfed out for non-conformity (eh?)

Look out for her shouting "Move yer bloomin arse!" on the telly!

ooh, that would deliberately make me want to wear trousers and no hat!

'fraid not. She's on a freebie from one of her suppliers at work. Summat like £2000 per head. Royal enclosure blah, blah, no trousers (for the ladies), no bare arms, hats optional (but you try telling a woman that she doesn't need a hat!

bobbins said a few weeks back that he would lose the plot..looks like he has

inside out.

never been to Ascot. are you going?

And is that No. 6 turning himself out on the sand?

…but bigger, and in the sky, obviously!

And this is the ball from the prisoner which the big balloons over London look like

bobbins - have got balloon-raving mad?

My girlfriend's going to Ascot on Weds. Thankfully she didn't insist on a ridiculous bonnet like that!

And this is the Lunardi, a hat inspired by the first balloon flight over London in 1784

and this is the one that flies over Battersea

...spooky

these are the balloons that fly over London

the ones I saw were completely white and spherical - like that ball from the Prisoner

Is it only in the mornings bobbins? Maybe yer up the duff.

well, maybe some people are more susceptible than others...

2nd floor actually

if you really are on the 23rd floor it could be altitude sickness, makes you see things. I read that Everest Book. I know these things.

it's gone now

Biffin

i can see the ballons

Yeah Biffin's Bridge, heard someone mention it while drunk on Friday

Biffin's Bridge?

CAUSE IT'S ON A expletiveING ROPE

IT'S STILL FUCKING THERE!!!!!

Biopot, have you ever heard of Biffin's Bridge

Apparently it's fairly easy to tear JD apart. he's quite tight you know

Nor i'm i, he torn Juilan Dicks apart at the Valley in November, and thought he was good, then he went down hill, he ok, but over rated

Not what the players have been saying. They reckined on the radio this morning that he's earned his place at a club in the top half of the P'shp. Not so sure myself.

Thank you, 3 million for that toe rag, hehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehheehehehehehhehehehehehehe

Oops, simulpost!

Looks like Leeds are signing Danny Mills btw.

Dirty dirty Leeds

Tony's coming down now, bloody hell it's all happening out there!

I'm watching it like a hawk Zarbie - if it doesn't come down in 20 minutes there will be hell to pay!

Whaddaya expect?

Typical Bio, brings the tone right down

Besdies, it's Vanessa Felch isn't it?

It does when it attached to a pully and ropes

It's Branson trying to stoke up a bit of enthusiasm for Palace takeaway, sorry, take-over bid.

He'll ditch on the M4 soon.

A fiver to go up Vanessa Feltz, that's a bargain!

don't be silly..... they don't float

If it near Battersea, then it probably, a Ballon trip, where you pay 5-6 quid to up, and tehn come down 20 minutes later, it round the back of the Oval

it's vanessa feltz and judy finnegan

Sorry, that was me. Ate a load of nylon for lunch and haven't stopped farting since. There'll be another along shortly.

one of them is up again - looks to me like it is over near Battersea power station

Could it of been to dollops of bird shit on the window?

Beria - I should have the kinky videos by the end of this week.

(okidoki!)

What like Ultra-ballons?

(Yeah - but I've had another busy one... I'll reply tomorrow)

Could it have been two small balloons that were very close?

(beria, get the e-mail?)

What's you number bobbins?

Come back number 7. (your time is up)

Hehehehehe.

Well if so, Pete Tong will be chasing

...Vanessa Feltz?

Were they shaped like clouds?

It'll be a hamstring problem, shaun. The Northern Line trains are notorious for not warming up properly.

A Northern Line train has just pulled up in my office

I'm not fekking pissed, there were two huge white spherical ballons over London which just dissapeared

...a large tent...

He's pissed, don't listen to him. Next he'll be saying there's giant clock by the Thames.

Is John Snow on one of them? Or cardboard cutouts of the European Parliamentary leaders?

Bollox! I'm making a break for freedom, don't try and stop me!

What are you doing on this thread Dooberry? You've got work to do!!!!!

dodododododododododododododododododo

yeah, yeah, just disapeared, right.

hehehehe

they have just expletiveing dissapeared

There were a couple last week promoting the Euro Elections - maybe thy're late for that like the Euro, too.

I had a bad experience with an Airship yesterday.

Cricket at Headingley. Big NatWest baloon overhead. Kept following me. Paranoid.

Bit like end of Goodfellas.

I can't see them either. You been drinking at lunchtime?

can`t see `em from here.

haven't seen 'em

don't know

what are they all about then?
