"HSV Hamburg" just reminds me of when German commentators say "Arsenal London"

Gotta love Pauli. Even if they are as shite as their tops are brown.

Germany as we know it barely existed back then anyway, so it's a moot point really. It'd be like going to Kaliningrad and telling them they're all German or something.

Ditto "Bloke Crashes Fast Car", to be honest.

And after all that, it's gone to Manchester.

Impossible level is dangerous. Got to 25000 before sustaining a hit, but then I started to get some serious carpal tunnel foreshadowing so thought I'd best stop

Argh, I have far too much work on my plate to indulge in this. I'm blatantly going to anyway, aren't I?

Where on the stair? Right there!

I hadn't thought of it that way actually. That specific part of town (i.e. North Greenwich) is kind of eerie - it's still London, so never quiet enough to be called a ghost down, but it's certainly got a slightly deserted feel to it. That particular need for development notwithstanding, though, Blackpool could obviously do with a hot cash injection too.

The verb "verschlimmbessern".

Hints of Rooney and Henry too, apparently.

Web-cam! Web-cam! Web-cam!

Fuck me, let's send him back to stacking shelves then.

the barman says, "is this some kind of joke?" And they reply "Course not, it's one of Bobby's posts"?

Wouldn't mind Blackpool either. Keeps it away from my doorstep.

Cant quite make it out.... The Rogerists... Expulsions in the Sky.... 69 days of sodom.....

If you're mega-rich then fair enough, but it feels a little desperate when it's one of us plebs doing it.

To be fair, it's the media, the viewers, the politicians etc. who've been playing the race card on Shilpa's behalf rather than her herself.

Same here really, although I would add that the Guardian is still a 'proper' newspaper. If I ever buy a Sunday rag I get the Observer, but I don't usually have the time to buy or read any paper these days. It is, I just don't particularly read it for the 'proper' bits. The Observer is great. Used to shell out something ridiculous for it in Germany whenever I indulged, upwards of €5 in any case, but it'd see me right through a six-hour train journey.

I'll generally read the Guardian, but mostly because I like the features and stuff, and I don't want anything too serious or dull to have to wade through. I'm online practically all the time anyway so the BBC News site is fine for the actual facts.

Shilpa Poppadom to the winning! Woo.

Apologies for the cack picture quality, the flash on my digicam has decided to die. You get the point though.
