  1. Not even that! A mere fiver, I'm afraid. Courage, convictions, I have neither. Still though...
  2. Cheers. Bank balance aside, I'm just so chuffed for Zambia. Was screaming at the telly throughout the shootout for Ivory Coast to make Gervinho take one because you just knew he'd bollocks it up.
  3. That must be the place a mate of mine recommended for the wet shave experience. "Not something you need to do more than once, but by god it'll make you feel like a real man." Or words to that effect.
  4. Our flat is like that - two bedrooms, two bathrooms. Completely ridiculous. Mind, it does mean we get a bathroom each, so I suppose I shouldn't grumble. Wouldn't exactly be high on my list of priorities for the next place though
  5. I certainly do, Betfair is where I gleefully fleece idiot foreign gays of their money on the various Eurovision markets every year. There's nothing much more friendly there right now, whether backing Ivory Coast or laying Zambia, but now that you've mentioned it I'll definitely keep a close eye and see if I can stick something on in running if Zambia happen to nick the first goal, say.
  6. That's precisely why I want him to be appointed England manager. It doesn't worry me in the slightest.
  7. That long hot summer in Brighton, but that's not important right now.
  8. "Abridged for younger readers" like it was some kind of complex work of literary genius in the first place. For all Joey Barton's scattershot relationship with accuracy and the truth, he got that one spot on.

  10. Squeaky bum time. Now that Zambia are in the final, would any of you consider offsetting/closing out/hedging/whatever you want to call it, if you were in my position? The best I can see for Ivory Coast at the minute is 1/4, which isn't really worthwhile (sure, I could guarantee some kind of profit even at that price, but it eats into the potential Zambia winnings too substantially for me). But if anywhere were to start offering 1/2 (say), I might be tempted to stick £50 or £100 on, to at least guarantee me some kind of decent payday. Hmmm. Probably won't happen though, I suppose, unless there's some massive team news during the week or something...
  11. The dream is alive. Given this, they had to reach the final really, considering it's in Libreville of all places. One more step...
  12. Writing that must have taken some will power. EDIT: Also, happy 30,000th post
  13. Seeing St. Vincent and tUnE-yArDs later in the month.
  14. Just got new glasses for the first time in about six years. Apparently near-invisible frames and Gok Wan twat goggles are the prevailing styles right now.

    Pet Hates!

    Can help to put in odd penny amounts, too. £20.73 rather than £20.00, say. Exactly This thread has just reminded me I've got a few box sets stuck away in a cupboard that I've been meaning to sell. Must stick them on... but maybe later, so that I can catch the drunken impulse-buyer crowd next Saturday night.

  17. http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2012/feb/07/argentina-football-league-general-belgrano That's quite... special.
  18. Ah Kölsch. A beer that traditionally comes in 200ml glasses and a Geordie invasion really don't mix.
  19. Aye true, almost a decade now. Christ almighty.
  20. Mental thinking I've seen him score a goal in Leverkusen like. Feels like a lifetime ago.
  21. Aye, just been watching that. Looked like it could have been a cricket score in the first 20 minutes. Probably be a dull as fuck second half now mind.
  22. I can't claim to have any real knowledge of the situation, least of all "from the inside" like you, but I thought the first letter here - whether from a biased POV or not - set things out pretty clearly (and pretty terrifyingly): http://www.guardian.co.uk/society/2012/jan/20/where-the-nhs-is-heading
