adios

Ho, ho. I thought the first one was decent, and the second was average at best, if I remember rightly. Not that you're one to be talking about cuttng edge cinema!

I thought I'd had a go at it.

Ally, are you seriously telling me you did the two sweeps thing and got 5000? Congratulations on your history degree, like, I'm assuming you had some schooling before that? Fill this in please: 1000 + 1000 + 1000 + 1000 = 40 + 30 + 20 +10 = If you still haven't got it after that, you're a danger to humanity, you'll go to open the fridge at the wrong point in space-time and the Universe will implode, or something similarly daft.

If you're seriously having trouble with this, go back and do the sum in two "sweeps", first sweep add up all the thousands, second sweep add up all the smaller values. If you're still having trouble after that, get help, quickly.

No, you're just not allowed disagree with me, I watched on telly from afar (like a biblical wise man) and am therefore infallible in this matter. Assuming it is the one I'm thinking of, the ball flew at him, and he made to get out of the way with his whole body, at the same time moving his arm slightly away from his body, towards the ball and diverting the ball away from the oncoming Newcastle player. It was blatantly intentional on the replays. Based purely on intent and by the rules of the game, he should have walked.

It'll be one of those problems where a sizeable percentage of the population get it wrong in the same way, probably something to do with the way they "store" the numbers as they do the calculation. I believe the ancients called it the Mystery of Tiko.

Now who's being contrary?

Was it the MOTD pundits who said that? The Sky commentator thought it was a penalty, but I don't care what they think, I'm 99% sure of the intent. I'll not be commenting on the highlighted bit. But it's a big, ginger bully.

Even after making the error, to need what happened to be explained to you?

That does slightly change things...I was sure it was at the Bridge. Anyway, they did well against Chelsea, so I'm worried, if a bit less so now.

If we're talking about the same decision, that wasn't a dodgy hand ball, it was a subtle but professional foul and if the ref had the benefit of a replay, he could have walked for it. I don't think Duff dived, but he does go down too easily.

I hate that Yeah, should obviously be Roedent, or the Roedster in happier times; I assume that's what you're getting at. If the Sheffield United that played at Stamford Bridge on Saturday turns up next weekend, we're in trouble.

That hasn't been the captain's responsibility for a while now tbf.

Nail on head, he seems to like to respond to reason with pomposity like "what a silly question". The bloke seems a bit of a bigot, and all, every argument he can't help but veer into anti-British or anti-West territory. He even disregarded something I said as the mad ramblings of an Englishman.

Ricky Tomlinson? Worse.

This one's a quite from a Boro fan thinking Boro are now top class because they got beaten senseless in the UEFA Cup Final and won the Carling cup in the last hundred years (there's a link in there to the full discusison, which is about something else entirely): Jesus Wept! lol delusionments. And this one's a question about why you're playing less, when you had been taking it pretty seriously: I'm on my lunch break, back to it now. I don't play much now, don't have the time. What's up with that, I thought you wanted to be a professional?

You're going to have to narrow that down.

Jesus Wept! lol delusionments.

I think my standards may be slightly taller than yours.

Is that like dogging, but with cheese?

I believe it's called the Championship. That is, that's where YOU will end up, I'M just an interested observer. COWER!

Sorted.

Fan-boyism is for 12 year olds, the rest of us make a decision based on the facts. The lag I'm experiencing is fucking horrible, maybe we're not using the same internet connection?

Legend.
