    You've got 2 years on me, you're either letting the baldness get to you, or (and this is more likely in my opinion), your letting the mask slip: "How could I have been responsible for doing all those things in the camps if I'm only 68, 32, 31..."

    Hello magazine? 112260[/snapback] Hello Snakey, it's DotBum btw.

    Never seen it. 112168[/snapback] Too kewl for skewl tbh. Although I love the way previous poster referenced American Pie like it was the fucking Bible, or whatever the equivalent is these days. 112243[/snapback] Too old tbh. I'm not averse to the odd cheesy flick though, 'Goonies', 'Tremors' and the like. 112258[/snapback] Cheesy? That's a true classic. I thought you were 30.
  4. Not according to the OED, where are you getting that from? 112236[/snapback] I think its in the Cambridge Encylodpeia of English - the use of negatives in dialect or non RP speech as an emphasis - I will check and get back to you 112256[/snapback] I'd look into that, looks like you've been sold a knock-off. I might not have made it clear above, but the Oxford English verified my explanation.

    Yes, the girlfriend loves that movie, honest.
  6. Pulling myself silly to graphic novels with a tweezers tbh. \O © Renton

  8. You'll have to have your penis shortened to meet regulations, I'm afraid.

  10. Very good book, and analogy for that matter, back in your box!
  11. The trusty Electronic dictionary tells me they're both from the obsolete 'can', to know, originally Scottish. But what they don't tell me is how that became 'nice' up north, although I can guess, anyone know the specifics?
  12. Probably something to do with knowledge? Canny - knowledgeable - clever. Uncanny - unknown - unnatural.
  13. Unless we're now officially Harchester United.

    His nationality is a thinly veiled allusion to his drink problem tbh.
  15. I'm not just talking about television or stage, so Sigmund Freud for me, he told some of the shittest jokes going, but I've yet to see his explanations beaten. The lads who do it tend to be naturals, they know what's funny, but they're not sure why. It also a moving target, I think, keeps evolving, but the principles are still the same.
  16. Why someone likes comedy is a tough nut to crack, even the experts don't agree, but you can still see how clever someone's been in putting it together. Larry David's brilliant but as of yet I've seen nothing particularly clever in Seinfeld. My brother, who's always got the same taste as me keeps on at me to watch more of it, which is why I've persevered, but I'm just not seeing it.
  17. Says more about what's wrong with the World than what's right with the show. To call it genius is excessive, because of a woman being involved? And the allusions are hardly clever, nothing you wouldn't get from a bunch of teenagers.
  18. I think it's schadenfreude, with an umlaut(sp?) over the a. I always thought it was named after freud, but it turns out 'freude' is German for joy, irony.
  19. Brimming with show tunes, no doubt. Just finished watching "The Contest", I am thoroughly unimpressed, can someone explain to me what;s genius about it?
  20. Favourite show ever Seinlanguage it's called. 111790[/snapback] It's all right, Gemmill has successfully out-gayed you by dancing around his man-bag, filled with fruit smoothies no doubt.
  21. "Petered Out" For when he inevitably falls to fourth choice and leaves on a free transfer.
