Meenzer

And I won't get to spin the wheel again.

I've never understood why people have a problem with telling which one is which. Ant is the one who looks like Ant, Dec is the one who looks like Dec. I prefer the Express's take on the matter, anyway.

It has indeed. This: ...is clearly no longer good enough. I'm thinking you should run a route between the microstates of Europe, just for comedy value.

Had no money left and they don't let you take it out of the country anyway. Which begs the question why there are any shops and bars at the airport at all really. I'm sure people do, but Serbian border police are scary creatures and I was beyond the point of wanting to tangle with them...

Once got stuck there for six hours with only a £1.50 drinks voucher from the airline as compensation. To be spent on non-alcoholic drinks only, even though beer was cheaper than Coke. It was fun.

Just stumbled across this footage of Martin Luther King being conferred an honorary degree at Newcastle University in November 1967. I suspect the server can't cope with more than a couple of people viewing at one time, but it's fantastic stuff if you can get a decent stream. http://www.ncl.ac.uk/alumni/assets/documents/mlkfootage.htm (Apologies if mentioned previously on here.)

This makes me so happy.

I caught a couple of minutes of Talksport discussing this yesterday, apparently we'll all have to carry a 'Paedophile Certificate'. Has Fish passed a CRB to be a mod btw? Craig's Regular Bedeviller?

The bastards wouldn't have me. My donation is contingent on you scowling at every volunteer and organiser you see.

I knew you were stalking me. You look like a fat Angus Young Meenzer? On my better days.

I knew you were stalking me.

It's Sunderland. They built the mountains in 342 BC.

Aye, even listening to loud music when you're out walking makes it that much more disorienting. Or at least I'm twice as careful when crossing roads but that might just be me.

The perfect time for the glorious return of....

Fuck me, that's actually not bad.

"burrglared"?

Apparently it's for real this time.

Yes it was. http://www.mtv.com/ontv/vma/2009/best-female-video/ That's seriously weird. In the clip from the show I saw earlier, Beyonce's video was definitely shown as one of the nominees, and it's in the list on various sites (e.g. http://buzzworthy.mtv.com/2009/08/04/vmas-...ump-britneys-7/ or http://www.awards-night.com/vma-2009-best-...ward-nominees/). Are MTV trying to retro-censor the whole thing?

Well at least one of them was mentioned in the thread title.

My fella is perpetuating homophobia by making it a straights-only event. And Fish, surely your winning personality would be preferential in itself.

No, not a request for sexual favours, but a shameless bit of advertising. My better half is helping to organise the charity event below, which may or may not be of interest to you - either way, if you know anyone else who may be interested or you have a work noticeboard this could be attached to, etc. etc., then it'd be greatly appreciated. At the risk of sounding like one of those dating site adverts, I'm reliably assured there's a significant excess of girls over guys at the minute.....

Good grief. I kind of liked him after the Hurricane Katrina thing, but... I just love how the crowd boos and even Beyonce is clearly mortified. Just a shame Taylor Swift isn't a little older/bitchier/more media-savvy, or she could have wiped the floor with him with a snide "Well thank you for that contribution" or similar like a more seasoned country music witch would have done. Although I suspect one of the reasons she looks so perplexed is because it *could* be part of the show that she just hasn't been told about, and you don't want to upset the corporate machine...

Well at least New Labour still have the Guardianista blogsters on their side. Oh, wait... http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/20...nancial-markets
