Decent take on things from ol' no-jaw: http://blogs.suntimes.com/ebert/2011/12/_where_i_stand_on_the_occupy_m.html

http://myoccupylaarrest.blogspot.com/2011/12/my-occupy-la-arrest-by-patrick-meighan.html?spref=tw Targeting a Family Guy writer. Truly an assault on everything that makes America great.

Had it last Friday, managed to wangle my way into the Berlin office's do to avoid having to go to smelly Offenbach. Eight of us around a table at a small-food-on-big-plates restaurant, silly amounts of wine, then off to a pub until 4am with vodka shots and my boss practically forcing me to steal a Newcastle Brown Ale glass. Happy days.

I've had the advent candelabra up since the Sunday before last (obviously), but that'll probably be it. Maybe a bit of tinsel round some picture frames. Don't see much point in getting a tree since we won't be spending the Christmas period here anyway.

The rule is you go to Paperchase, buy him one of these and forget the whole thing ever happened.

Obviously if his username could be changed to the Ruud/Keane pic, that would be ideal. But as it is, Monroe Transfer will have to do.

It would be terrible if Monroe Transfer were mentioned in so many posts as to make it a statistical near-inevitability that it would be Tecato's new nick.

Sometimes Google Translate gets it pretty much right.

If it was a German optician, you should be thankful they're giving her actual technology rather than a concoction of herbs to hold over her eye at all times.

For the sake of my blood pressure, I'll try to look on the bright side and say it's good to see what's been common sense for the last decade getting some kind of mainstream coverage at last. Not that it'll help.

Happy birthday, you smashing chap.

Marta?

Has Ferguson blamed it on the ref yet? Ferguson was less impressed with the winner, arguing that Glenn Murray's header should have been disallowed for offside."We don't seem to be getting much luck from linesmen at the moment," the United manager said. "It was offside from what I've seen."

Darren Ambrose

Beautiful.

Somehow managed to surprise people who've only now realised he's a massive twat.
