Oh yes. Sunday afternoon/evening omnibus --> productivity = zero. This too. Think I've seen them all now, mind. Perversely, it's made me a little bit less scared to fly. Speaking of which, why the fuck are you watching it, given how much you hate getting on a plane?

The Biggest Loser.

There are other pubs in Newcastle? A vicious rumour.

Gives us a bell when you're in Ham or Berlin, Meenz has the number. You lazy sod.

Just for a change eh?

Just a run of the usual city breaks (Hamburg/Berlin/Munich, Stockholm) so far, but we're definitely going to get away somewhere sunny at some point. Nothing fancy, just one of the smaller Canaries or Greek islands or something. Dom Rep sounds good, particularly all-inclusive - friends who've gone tell me it's not always wise to wander too far from the resort.

If it reopens with a similar enough vibe, I doubt we'll shift - some people have been going there for so long they've actually started to take root. If it doesn't... gawd only knows.

Either that or he knows the internet doesn't count

That's bad craic. Best of luck fella.

I knew there was something that set him apart from Smith

Not asking for your attention. Don't like me - don't post simple concept. No, a haiku is 5-7-5. I'm sure we did them in year 10. Fuck off man Martin, it's not me!!! I didn't do you in year 10 either. More's the pity.

It was definitely better in the 80s, it wasn't just that we were kids. Although obviously that didn't hurt.

Thee Silver Mt. Zion Memorial Orchestra & Tra-La-La Band - 13 Blues For Thirteen Moons

I have no idea. It just pleases me immensely for some reason.

http://www.guardian.co.uk/sport/blog/2009/...de-algecirasr-d Includes some interesting references back to "that" Portugal-Netherlands game. At the time I remember wishing the referee had sent the whole lot of them off, just for the (long overdue) discussion it would have provoked.

It's overreactiontastic!

So did my aunt. If you knew a woman from Cramlington whose sole purpose for working was to earn the money to do up the living room and the kitchen every year, it was probably her.

The man is clearly bufoon. Then we can safely sell Given after all. Hurrah!

I swear his quotes sound like a GCSE oral exam response to the "What do you want to do in the future?" question.

A little NSFW perhaps? One for the mods to debate I suppose.

Excellent. We beat Hull, Millwall beat Crewe, then a draw at St. James' gives me a replay within walking distance. What do you mean, priorities?

What the fuck are you doing bothering us when we're on holiday? Even we're not that devoted to the cause. Love, The Tumbleweed

What's interesting is that every time the "Shay to leave" rumours have surfaced over the last five years, we've (mostly) thrown our hands up and said "OK, we'd rather he stayed, but we wouldn't blame him...", knowing full well that he'd feel the pull of loyalty and stick around for more punishment. I just wonder what the reaction will be when our bluff is finally called.

No need to repeat yourself...
