adios

I think he's a fucking mong, like, but I'm not the most tolerant of people, obviously you've sussed that as well. It's his cringeworthy pretentiousness that kills me, but I suppose I should allow for age.

Fucking hell, I can't mask my sheer arrogance for 5 seconds! Was it my sarky swipe at pretentious Parky or my unfunniness in the NUFC forum? Don't know about being mistaken for that verbose tosser, either!

Although the Fish may have a penchant for pretentiousness, I would just like to say that comparing him to that buffoon is lower than calling him a fetid cunt (sorry catmag).

I am stole tickets!

Although you are correct that journalists are never willing to attack powerful people to further their own careers, in this case the journalist was willing to commit professional suicide to smear him because Nobby had nobbled both his wife and his sister. Look into it if you like; it's not the first time he's done it. I don't think there can be any question this is what really happened.

I was wondering what smart alex (sic ) would say that. A man with the power to get midnight deliveries from Tesco, his influence reaches far beyond Tescos.

Amazing he gets them to deliver in the middle of the night, he must have serious contacts. I wouldn't mess with him tbh, he might know Jamie Oliver.

Defcon Marmite tbh.

So, you're living with a hermit? Excellent.

Blip.

I hope, having read that, that the Luque nay-sayers will repent and join me in campaigning for his knighthood.

He isn't the first hard paper round to turn to drink, and he won't be the last. Until you've had to lug the entire nation of Peru's papers around on your back, J69, I'd give him the benefit of the doubt.

Didn't the majority of your electorate say it before? I agree that we can have no appreciation of the pressure they are under, well, not until Battlefield: Iraq comes out on the 360, anyway.

Nice one Luke, I saw these guys on Irish television a couple of years ago and wanted to get some of their stuff but couldn't remember who they were. Lovely stuff.

There was invites to the party on Ebay, apparently.

Well, we have.

Leazes' thread killed stone dead by logic and reason; not a bit of wonder he hates them so much.

How about longer prison terms or much harsher sentences for violent criminals, and rehabilitation, where possible, for the rest?

My brother's coming over to France for it, and we intend to watch every match, including split-screening the final group matches that are played simultaneously. Hopefully the whole thing will be experienced in all it's HDTV glory as the HD box is supposed to be installed Wednesday. I really am getting quite excited about this now!

Where are you getting that from? I was under the impression that all money he had pumped into the company was in the form of loans, though I don't remember where I got that from, either... As for the rest of it, I think you've painted a very idealistic scenario there. It reminds of the version of events a venture capitalist might be told. When they look to be paying 10 million to Man U over the Obi-Mikkel debacle, how much profit are they going to make? I'd also speculate football as a money-making enterprise is going to take a serious nose-dive in the next 5 years.

Bit suspect, you should report them.

Which is?

I agree, they're almost as unfathomable as those nerds who constantly ask for relationship advice online! The mother/son thing happened in France recently, by the way. She was still with the husband/father, as well.

I don't think I could handle the rejection.
