Sad but true.

CT will be proud to give you his vote at the next election.

"Emergent service worker", apparently. Seems to be largely based on renting rather than owning.

Bewdiful

Hard to know where to begin with something like this. The situation, the events, the people responsible, and then the reporting angle on it... fucking hell.

It's a tricky one in a way, it's not as if there haven't been managers with views that are generally held to be socially unacceptable (even the greats like Cloughie), but this is a bit more... blatant. Still, I'm with Gemmill and others, at least the fallout has been entertaining to watch (and will remain so up until the point where the bugger actually gets some performances out of them). It's conjured up plenty of interesting writing too. http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/blog/2013/apr/02/paolo-di-canio-sunderland?CMP=twt_gu

I can probably recommend you a club or two where that'll get him priority entrance. As long as he doesn't mind being someone else's priority entrance later that night.

As it happens, I've just been invited to a stag in Hamburg in August, so let us know what works well for you the weekend after next - and what doesn't.

@davidschneider Di Canio claims fascist salute was just the classic holiday picture gag misunderstood

@exiguous99 There's been a misunderstanding. Di Canio actually thinks he's off to manage the Sudetenland.

There's an ice-cream van doing the rounds. Fuck off man.

Rocking the Swedish waffle iron tonight.

Due to poor planning, I'm about to head out and see what the least worst drink is that I can find within a 10-minute walk now that the real shops are closed for Easter. I suspect Leffe or one of the less toxic Polish beers might have to be the upper limit of my ambition.

We beat Chelsea at home too.

Ah, smooth ball sacks. No risk of pube/teeth interaction, countered by the nagging feeling that you might secretly be a paedophile.

Also hungover here (surprise surprise), but feeling all the better for this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l33zwYlO_o4

I felt it didn't add to the debate.

Tandy in the Newgate Centre, now that was a shop.

Ah, now there I have been - the fella used to live just round the corner and Honor Oak is still just about on our radar from this end of Ladywell. Spot on high-end/crossover/fusion type stuff, as you say. There's a really good Italian called Le Querce just the other side of the main road there too.

Eat more vegetables and pulses. There's no shortage of recipes in the Cooking thread.
