Interesting fact #6037a: Melle Mel's rap section didn't work half as well on account of the fact that "Prince" only has one syllable.

Chakka Khan..Chakka Khan...Chakka Khan let me rock you, let me rock you... 50742[/snapback] Welcome to half an hour ago.

Geordie Boyo let me rock you, let me rock you Geordie Boyo, let me rock you that's all I wanna do...

*meow*

Emre looks like a 70s porn star there.

Rialto - Monday Morning 5:19 Nothing much to say about this lot really. Slightly smug/knowing attitude, odd intonation, sweeping cinematic soundscapes, rapidly disappeared in a puff of "they've just released the same album twice, haven't they?".

tbh 49739[/snapback] That wink is blatantly fruity. Not the sort of thing I'd want to direct at another bloke tbh. 49748[/snapback] It's only missing some fluttering eyelashes, isn't it?

Why, when they're on a roller.... oh never mind.

And cocks.

On a little fishing expedition with that one, Bez ??? 48788[/snapback] It's a Shola fish. 49099[/snapback] thats so poor i'm not sure if i even understand the punchline. 49660[/snapback] Oh my god, I've only just got it myself. BlueStar, you're an arse.

Given the age of your lass, I'd hope no older than 22. ....

I'm sure he'd rather have a houseboy around the place, the dirty swine. (Psst... we're definitely getting a kitten some day though... ) Toonraider, gadgety stuff is a fine idea, you never know quite what you're going to find in shops like that. Trouble is I don't get into London until the evening of the night before his birthday, so shopping time is going to be seriously limited. I might beg for a one-day amnesty to give myself some space to find something.

Django! Grrrrrrrrrrrrreat to see you. DanTheMan will be thrilled too. Do stick around.

bez thinks all Newcastle fans are closet racists, bez is a closet homophobe. That's about all you need to know.

Naah, that was just Simaphobic tbh.

That you don't like the answer doesn't mean it hasn't been answered. Good luck with the next boy. Sorry if I hurt your feelings. 49510[/snapback] You planning on justifying your homophobic stereotyping, bez?

I answered that . The quality issue is a problem. I appreciate your persistance in chatting me up but I'm married and heterosexual. Sorry. 49499[/snapback] ahahahahahaaa What kind of answer is that? 49505[/snapback] A stereotypically prejudiced homophobic one, to be honest. I think I'll kick up a stink with the admins.

Racist and sexist tbh.

People can spend far too much time on these things. There was a guy along my row back in the day who kept calling Darren Peacock a "fucking poof". Sure, I could have explained to him that no self-respecting gay man would ever be seen in public with hair like that, or I could have yapped on to my mates for days about how it just serves to underline the inherent homophobia in my row at SJP, the entire crowd, the entire city of Newcastle, the world... but what's the point? It's just one person's prejudice at the end of the day. And even if plenty of people share it, I'm confident enough to believe that the majority are more enlightened and the trend's going in the right direction, just like I believe is the case for racism, so why worry too much about a minority who are becoming increasingly unfashionable? Just relax and let it happen...

I think you meant "Beckham getting called 'bling' doesn't fit my argument, so I'm going to dismiss it out of hand."

Beckham's been described as "bling" plenty. Or is he blacking up Jolson-style these days?

Nah, I'm still umming and ahhing. Some really good suggestions and comments among this lot though. Might try and put together a mini-photo album of "the story of us so far" or something equally soppy... ...though that's possibly best saved for an anniversary, I dunno. Inspiration still gratefully accepted, in other words.

DeBarge - Rhythm Of The Night Can't have heard this for the best part of 20 years. Awesome.

thinks, therefore is

Part of the problem is that - when it comes to opposition players, though this doesn't really hold sway for your own team - the crowd mentality at football matches will inevitably tend to focus on the perceived Achilles heel of a player if it's seen to be effective. Racism might have become socially unacceptable these days to an extent where you only get individual comments from unenlightened people at matches rather than collective chants, but in many cases I'm sure the desired effect is no different to the motivation behind calling Viduka a fat bastard, singing "he's a dwarf, a dwarf" at Dennis Wise or Juninho, or the kind of stick I'm sure the first openly gay footballer will get (and plenty of supposedly effeminate but straight footballers get now) - i.e. to vent your frustration and put them off their game a bit. Obviously I'm not equating racism with "fattism" or claiming it's even remotely acceptable, but being in a large and basically anonymous group of people can do interesting things to folks who otherwise wouldn't say boo to a goose...
