When I think of Maradona, I think of his charity work tbh.

Excellent wind-up by ajax_andy there. You got us, you kerrrraaaaaazy fool.

You want to see my impression of made-up Elvis tbh

I really don't.

And Maradonna didn't handle the ball in '86, it was an "enhanced goalscoring technique". Bush is within his rights to refer to it as 'enhanced interrogation techniques', as that is what waterboarding has been legally defined as - despite quite obviously being torture - after Mr. Yoo's sterling work for the Bush administration. It's a shame that more of an effort wasn't made at the time to rebuke Yoo's manipulation of history to justify this practice. The namby-pambys were probably too busy running around with flailing arms, crying about some endangered species of tree-ants that the oil companies are killing to make a proper legal case against the clear abuses of power that the Bush administration made. It's a hard life being a namby-pamby, opposing kneejerk anti-Muslim war while approving kneejerk anti-Muslim torture.

Posted this about five pages ago but I don't care, it's just made me die all over again.

I think you've inadvertently gone and said something mildly witty. Good on you http://shop.abc.net.au/browse/product.asp?productid=599821 Great book from a legend of Australian football (RIP) dealing with the changes in attitude to the round ball game down under. And Martin before you rush out and buy it can I just let you know as great as the man, Johnny Warren was, the book is shockingly edited and will leave you, one who works with words, feeling dirty and in need of disinfectant! That's fine by me.

Either way, I think it's entirely appropriate to be having a debate about Australian football in a thread about poofs.

With every respect, it's not exactly half their grade-A squad for the last 20 years, is it?

Can I borrow him for a few weeks? I know an excellent Monroe Transfer specialist who could help us out.

I'm going to give manc-mag 2/10. He didn't even make his own bechamel.

This week's a bit of a swine I'm afraid, theatre on Wednesday then we're blessed with visitors for a few days. Definitely do something curryish before the month's out though. And obviously maybe see you over here on Saturday for the party you said yes to on Facebook and have probably completely forgotten about in the meantime, since that's how it always works for me.

About 1 metre 85 and 90kg. I don't do imperial. (Somewhere around 6 ft 1 and 14 st 2 apparently...)

Aye exactly, they're two different things. I don't wear a poppy because of various reasons, including the huge advertising budget they feel the need to spend on something surely everyone is fully aware of already and the way it's been hijacked by the Iraq and Afghanistan campaigns recently when that shouldn't be its main focus (imho). I'll have a strop on Facebook about it and argue the toss with anyone who says not wearing a poppy is tantamount to disrespecting our troops, past or present, but there's absolutely no need for the kind of orchestrated scenes above.

Ended up there tonight as it happens, my old man was in town so it seemed like a good chance to try it out with someone else picking up the tab. Canny enough - the standard stuff is comparable in quality to Masala Zone and a bit more expensive, but they have some really interesting unusual dishes and twists that I'd say make it worth checking out some time. Apologies for the thread hijack, CT.

Aye, there's hardly anyone holding up that massive set of banners like.

Especially since playing two big lads up front gives us more height for defending set pieces than sticking Guthrie or Smith in there anyway.

Zebras. It's Cockernee rhyming slang.

More fun than reading your posts, that's for sure.

Quite like B&S too as it happens. Sorry Ant, I realise this isn't helping your cause much. I can see why an Aussie would be perplexed though, they're all rugged men's men down under.

We should, never been but I've heard good things.

I haven't been on any other boards or the internet at all, I've been out chatting to real people in real life Nice out there, isn't it?

You clearly missed Rob's thread about it. Maybe you need to spend less time on other boards.

As long as the tapas are mostly things you can prepare in advance - if he wants not to be stuck in the kitchen all night, ten fresh hot dishes are not the way to go. (Ever tried this place, btw, Fishster? If not, we're going there on a man-date some time: http://www.elparadorlondon.com)
