Default Hey, that was my exercise!

"An exercise for you to try.

Begin by standing on a comfortable surface, where you have plenty of room at each side. With a 5 lb potato sack in each hand, extend your arms straight out from your sides and hold them there as long as you can. Try to reach a full minute, and then relax. Each day you'll find that you can hold this position for just a bit longer."



Except I use 10-lb bags of MEAT!!!

So... One useless thread got locked only to have another completely useless thread crop up in its place?

I guess I'll help contribute to the uselessness...

Allen has a fascination with unicorns. I think you could make money out of this with a good Vegas show at Excalibur or something with a medieval theme...

I love unicorns. Anyone who disagrees on their awesomeness is wrong. Period.

I probably like unicorns more than Jaguars myself, but then again I have about zero automotive brand loyalty (as long as they are from a European manufacturer, I'm good).

I have a mod idea... replace the leaper on your hood with a tusk from a narwhal:

We'll get the Jaguarforums numbers up at some point. We're at about 10% of Volvo activity or 1% of VW/Audi/BMW activity levels and rising.

Lol...nice pics exex.....cheers

As for the numbers? I know we are not as big as some of the other marques / forums but are as big as some others. I like to think we're big enough to make a difference matter, but small enough to care.
The other thing to bear in mind though is dead wood and how much there is on some other sites. Recently for example we've cleared out / deleted around 20,000 inactive members / spammers etc etc and only keep the database live with active forum members and those with decent post counts.

Notes left in milk bottles in Scotland-

Dear milkman-I've just had a baby-please leave another one.


Please leave an extra pint of paralysed milk.


Please don't leave any more milk. All they do is drink it.


Milkman, please close the gate behind you because the birds keep pecking the tops off the milk.


Sorry not to have paid your bill before but my wife had a baby and I've been carrying it around in my pocket for weeks.


Sorry about yesterdays note. I didn't mean one egg and a dozen pints, but the other way around.


When you leave the milk knock on my bedroom window and wake me because I want you to give me a hand to turn the mattress.


My daughter says she wants a milkshake. Do you do it before you deliver or do I have to shake the bottle.


From now on please leave two pints every other day and one pint on the days in between except Wednesdays and Saturdays when I don't want any milk.


Cancel one pint after the day after today.


My back door is open. Please put milk in fridge-get money out of cup in drawer and leave change on the kitchen table in pence because we want to play bingo tonight.


Please leave no milk today. When I say today- I mean tomorrow for I wrote this note yesterday.


When you leave the milk please put the coal on the boiler, let the dog out and put newspaper inside screen door. PS-don't leave any milk.


No milk. Please do not leave milk at No.14 either as he is dead until further notice.

I think an off topic area per section is ideal!!!!
Less hijacked threads.
Nice 1 Jim!!

You think your watch is too big ? Then meet Panerai PAM 341

Yup, I collect them
Recently I bought that Panerai (the biggest one in the pic ) and was very excited lol
Holy smack, that was bigger than I imagined
Actually, you know this is off topic and nothing was significant but just for fun
