Film/moving picture show you most recently watched
Holden McGroin replied to Jimbo's topic in General Chat
I agree. Anyway, I prefer the cinema experience for "blockbuster" movies. Finally going to see the Watchmen tonight. -
Taylor should be available for Stoke.
Holden McGroin replied to Park Life's topic in Newcastle Forum
Because he's been a liability when he's played centre back before. Colo is hardly excelling there at the moment. -
Sorry to hear that mate. I'm also sorry to say that the "no dating at work" girl doesn't want anything serious. I've used that line about 5 times.

It'll probably end up 1-1. I cant see us staying up to be honest.
-
I personally hope they do. They are one the few teams in the PL that actually attack. i hate this lets win 1-0/4-5-1 bollocks that Liverpool and Everton play.

Hes not biased he just thinks/knows we are shite. Truth hurts and and all that... We've been shit since Setanta started any sort of coverage.
-
What part of that is untrue ? we are a joke. I like Burley. He says what he thinks. We are shit. FACT. And he says that. I have no problem with honesty. You would never have guessed he was an ex Celtic player the way he wanted to slag off Lovenkrands at any opportunity. yeah, i picked up on that one to be fair. He also mentioned Viduka had "desire" problems when he played with him a Celtic.

I hope he doesnt get back in the team. He offers nothing. Rash challenges, poor passing. We looked a far better team when Geremi came on and im not his biggest fan. At least he can pass a football.

It's ok though, Taylor is still inexperienced and has been playing alongside shite for a while, that's why his progress has been hindered. Nothing to do with his lack of ability of course. He shows up experienced International (with experience in a World Cup) player Fabricio Coloccini as well. Anything for a dig at Taylor, eh? Rather than showing him up, Bassong compliments Collocini well. Unlike Taylor. The only reason Collocini is not getting any stick is because he is new to the country. He looks weak and prone to the odd clanger. Agreed, that he does look better with Bassong next to him though.

Looks a class above anyone in our team at the moment.

More or less how i am feeling now. Purely down to age.
-
I just find it annoying dealing with drunk people when im not.
-
I actually hate turning up at a pub when my mates are pissed. Its rubbish. I'm not sad either.

I'm half way through the graphic novel now. Very good.

I know what it was in reference to. I just have no idea what your point is. It's pretty obvious I think. For example, the fattest teenager in the UK who had to have an operation recently to save her. She ate 10 mars bars per day apparently. Why not just 1 per day??? Two different things though, surely? Although I doubt the lass feels good about herself and there's more to it than just liking Mars Bars. There may be some similarities between obese people and alcoholics but there are loads of differences between the two conditions. Mars Bars aren't a powerful drug, are they? Not that I would class all alcoholics as the same anyway. Someone who develops a drinking problem after a traumatic event is different to someone like George Best's mother who, iirc, died in her 50s but never touched a drop until later in life (40s maybe). Not saying alcoholics are exempt from any responsibility but I think they do have a condition or a pre-disposition to one which the rest of us don't. I'd argue the average person would find it extremely difficult to become one through choice. I guess there are varying levels of alcoholism though and not all are not triggered by traumatic experiences. I can see some parallels between (eg) excessive eating and drinking. Isn't the main cause of comfort eating down to filling some emotional void in your life - which i'd guess a lot of alcoholics suffer from. Not than im expert on the matter like. Exactly what I was getting at I also said there were some similarities between excessive eating and drinking. Case closed. What? It was tongue in cheek... or are you wooshing me???

Ok, so basically you are saying that any bad addiction is an illness? Do Heroin addicts not get any help though ? Genuine question by the way.

Pernickety as usual Alexis. Eh? It's obvious it's an addiction. There is no debate about that surely. The debate lies in whether an addiction like this could also be called a disease. Which was exactly my point. I don't see it as an illness. I don't think it's clear cut like. Some people are obviously more pre-disposed to becoming one. I think it's condition, if you like. To say an addiction to something is an addiction isn't really saying anything though, is it? I implied it was an addiction rather than an illness. Perhaps my wording should have been clearer. So to sum up, I'm putting it purely under the addiction umbrella! Unless of course we are classing every type of addiction as a disease in which case I'm fucked because as I'm hooked on Nestle Cookie Crisp cereal.... You're saying it's not a disease, I get it It's not a conventional disease. You have to wonder why some people can't just have a drink and then stop. There must be something genetic or whatever. Mind, there's various degrees of alcoholism and loads of people in this country who won't even consider themselves to have a problem would be classed as having one in other countries. Why cant someone just have 1 mars bar then stop? On a topical note, I was in Sainsburys this morning after the gym getting some fruit, yoghurt etc and some bum in 90s lotto (probably) tracksuit started having a go at me under his breath about buying healthy food while ready to purchase 3 bottles of Sainsburys Basics Gin.
