Let it go, Fishy, just let it go, man. You'll feel much better for it.

Ok, you've posted on here for a while, you know the styles of certain posters, what do you think their favourite film would/should be and why. He's an easy start but as he's good for a laugh I'll start with; CT = Top Gun When he's just dropped a punter off and is on his way to Asda to pick up his 40% off garden chair set I can imagine him slipping his shades on and blasting up Berlin's 'Take my breath away' as he feels the need for speed and his taxi is really an F16 fighter. (And is it a coincidence that his TT initials are an anagram of Tom Cruise's?) Of course not!

Yep.

I'd never heard of him until a few months ago. Also his name sounds like 'Flange'. Fnarr fnarr.

Again with the negativity, Paddocklad! Come on, what's your problem? I'm sure the guy will do great.

Fucking hell.

Went to the same place we're going to 11 years ago but minus the kids last time, it was class. Just hope my eldests arm is ok as she has metal two rods in it after her break a few weeks ago and they agreed to put a new plaster cast which can be put on and off so she can get in the pool etc.

Off to Mexico the morra. I'll be gutted if the match isn't on.

Found some hardcore porn for CT. NSFW (no vinegar strokes in the taxi!)

I agree. We have quality in our side but we need a work ethic or we'll just end up like a team of big time Charlies. Jonas is a great outlet and gets us time and deadballs and can also thread a good ball through. Pleased for him but that's the first time I've seen that kit. Looks canny.

Reminds me of an old joke. An effeminate acting man walks into a Greengrocers and asks for the biggest cucumber he has in the shop. "Certainly sir." Replies the Greengrocer. Away he goes in the back of his shop rummaging through his cucumber tray until he comes back with this green monster of a cucumber. The customers eyes light up! "Will this do, sir?", asks the Greengrocer, to which the customer nods his head. "Would sir like his cucumber sliced?" asked the Greengrocer. The customer haughtily replies, "Does my arse look like a fucking moneybox?!"

I think in those days once you got the popular vote in a crippled country and had the threat of death/concentration camps by his followers hanging over you he didn't need to do much conning, mate.

Probably making sure I wasn't having a quick one off the wrist!

Barton on the TT twitter thing talking about who he'd like to see on Big Brother. You just know deep down he would absolutely love to be asked and go on it himself but would protest that he didn't want to.

My Mam and Dad would 'check' the radiator in my room when I lived at home whilst looking up with a look of concentration on their faces. It used to crack me up, (except if I was about to have a sneaky wank when I'd have to take evasive action to prevent discovery).

Was just interested in the legacy bit to be honest. Regeneration I mentioned, (don't know Stratford so have no idea if they've delivered but it is still localised to that area and not the rest of the country). Tourism I didn't mention and is a good short term shout although I'd assume London will always be a popular City break for non-UK residents. I was kind of taking the piss, (guess you never got the joke like I never got yours), as well suggesting Coe's vision was 'no fuck-ups' as I've no idea what his vision actually is and therefore would like to know how the Olympics is going inspire people? I've not much interest in the Olympics, never thought it would be a disaster but don't think it's anything other than a sporting event.

Was she smart?

I see said the blind man! Sorry for implying you're impolite and unsociable, then. Now how does he claim he invented it?

Still hounding poor LM despite him being banned further compounding your previous dig at Wolfy!

"Whadda you mean, you no a like-a Italian football!!??"

The odd time I use a bus I usually say "cheers, mate" when I get off, most people do. Your Dad's not 'fucking crackers' he's just polite and sociable. Bit much that, like.

Did you have cheese before you slept?

This thread is about an Olympic legacy to Britain? If Coe's vision (and 36% other people on a poll) was to have an Olympics in Britain that went off ok with no major fuck-ups, (we'll not mention the football queues/ticket balls ups early on) and also to win medals then his vision came true. I'd assume anyone running the event would have had that vision just maybe not the capability of pulling it off. When it comes to the legacy part what exactly is his vision? A part of London might be a bit better on the eye and what else? What will the legacy be to the rest of Britain who may or may not be gifted with superior intelligence? I've a feeling their will always be scaremongering leading up to an event like this and London would've been no different to Athens for example and at the end of the day things tend to get sorted out. So what is the 'strategic' plan for Britain that will come from these games? (because CEO's like politicians have a tendency to use many words where few would do and also to deliberately obscure their meaning. Some may even call bullshit when they blether on. Just an A will hopefully lead to B will do for us thickies!

I'll happily have a pint with the first person on here to include me on a poll.

I reckon CT would be one of the most personable and down to earth people to have a pint with on here as it happens. He might talk shit when it comes to politics and change hobbies and fads like I change my Y dogs but he comes across as a genuine enough bloke with no edge about him. (You owe me a tenner for that, taxi driver, no shrapnel.)
