I've just gone full-time again after two years of freelancing (yes, I know it's not quite the same thing as being self-employed, but semantics tbh ). I'm not sure if the vagaries of the financial translation industry are particularly relevant to your cause, though. I don't regret a moment of it, anyway, even if it's nice to have a steady income again - I never had a problem generating business, largely from my old company and the companies where former colleagues now work (thus proving nicely that it's all about contacts), but my motivation to get things done was minimal, hence regular overnight sessions on here whilst attempting to hit 9am deadlines. It's actually quite nice to have someone cracking the whip again.

Says ALOT about british comedy then. 112476[/snapback] Prefer German stuff now eh? 112478[/snapback] Can you fucking imagine what German comedy must be like?! 112495[/snapback] I don't have to. And bugger me, it's harsh. Most of it seems to revolve around this fella, who obviously is comedy:

That means our anthem for the last 9 years would have been sodding Katrina and the Waves. And 16 years of "Making Your Mind Up" before that. Hm, actually......

It's weird. The Serbs throw bottles at the Montenegrins when they dare to win their joint national final, but as soon as they take part separately they'll be flinging douzes at each other instead. Maybe they could achieve lasting peace by splintering into village states and instigating a year-long cycle of televised singing festivals where the votes are rigged so everyone finishes joint 1st with 58 points.

He probably alternates with shots of whatever horrendous tree-sap and potato concoction passes for the local spirit of choice in the Eastern Bloc shithole that only won the previous year's contest because its 27 neighbours who used to be all one country kept giving it douze after douze.

Do you reckon he's a vodka and red bull man, or a rum and cherry coke man? 112309[/snapback] The cheek! Wogan's strictly a Baileys man. He sends his production minions out to procure a bottle immediately before every Eurovision and promptly demolishes it in the commentary box over the course of the next three hours whilst regaling us with his witticisms.

She would be a good start I agree. Her fame/fortune etc. must say something terrible about our society. What a dozy bint she is. I wouldn't mind so much but she has a face like a dropped mince pie. 112407[/snapback] I swear there was a "celeb" magazine advertising "Jade interviews Chantelle!" the other week. Z-list interviewing Y-list.

ES IST DAS LOERRACH-ZEITUNG WOT SCHWANG ES! tbh.

You and Meenzer 111615[/snapback] She hosted Eurovision, not even I could say no to that kind of prestige...

HTT was inspired by the trailer for 'Wogan Now and Then' on UK Gold. 112008[/snapback]

I think it was in '96, but the remake they did for '98 wasn't. There was uproar when the FA chose that shite number which was headed up by the Spice Girls IIRC. 112000[/snapback] Ah, yeah, I think you're right and the Simply Red song was the theme for the tournament as a whole. I'm sure I remember that twat Hucknall trying to sing it at the opening ceremony and being drowned out by choruses of "It's coming home, it's coming home..."

Remember what was, though? "We're In This Together" by Simply Red. Now if anyone thinks Embrace are dirgey.....

Taking the internet too seriously again tbh 111914[/snapback] Fuck off tosser. 111919[/snapback] I can assure you, the feeling is entirely mutual. 111923[/snapback] I'm hurt. 111928[/snapback] Tell T27 to use vaseline 111930[/snapback] Butter is better. 111931[/snapback] Only if you're greasing a baking tray ffs

Discuss.

Herzschmerz and Goopwons to you!

From middle shelf to top shelf? That's quite a range...

A shot from inside Ulrika Johnson's fanny?? 111597[/snapback]

It was the lack of " - Beeb" in the subject line that got me suspicious.

They can always use my back yard for the sprint events. Built-in hurdles with all the bottles that need taking to the recycling.

Auuuurgh, that first album of theirs is atrocious. The singer's insistently dull, flat, monotonous voice above everything else. Don't understand why Drawn From Memory isn't recognised as a minor modern-day classic though.

One of my favourites ever 111349[/snapback] I absolutely love it. This isn't helping your cause, is it?

He makes Amoebi looking like a good footballer? 111303[/snapback] luque urinates upon shola from a great height 111307[/snapback] Have you phoned the News Of The World?

That a Peters and Lee cover?

Aye, first I knew of it was when I saw the trailer last night. Looks GREAT.

We should stop with the Kraut talk or that good-for-nothing Lukas Ramsauer will be along soon.
