Currently waiting for newcastle.gov.uk's election results service to start working - it's a thrill a minute, boys - then I'll be cleaning the flat from top to toe for the arrival of some Jorman drunkards tonight. Really need to catch up on sleep at some point too.

"Edited" he says. 2funny, 2twats. I got so excited when I saw the thread title...only to be let down...bummer.... Bit harsh on Martin like. Also we don't see Radgi for ages, then there's a thread about erections, and up she pops! I rather hope she doesn't

Oh tsk, which genius edited the thread title?

Eh, I think he's MP for Montgomeryshire in Wales. Lembit and Welsh farmers, a match made in heaven. I strongly suspect Boris is going to win in London now - just had a deep-and-meaningful with a few of the staff and regulars at the gym, and if black sahf Lahndaners who aren't exactly natural Tory territory are plumping for him ahead of Ken, there's no hope...

I remember the fella who ran the newsagents telling me about Ratzenberger's death on the Saturday, I'd been an F1 fan since I was a little kid and it was the first on-track death I'd known. Never had any idea how much worse (with all due respect) things would get the next day.

There was an interview in one of the free London rags the other day where he said that his kids are Newcastle fans "for some reason" and that Obafemi Martins is an extremely popular figure in the Johnson household. Whereupon he started chanting "OB-A-FEM-I, OB-A-FEM-I", apparently. Now c'mon, at least he could have given us a rendition of "21 or 28"... Must vote in the local elections today. I've only just noticed your sig, brilliant. It seemed strangely appropriate. Just got back from the polling station, the only person outside taking numbers was a slightly confused fella from the Green Party. It's been chucking it down on and off all day, so he'll probably end up with a stinking cold for his troubles. It's a hard life...

I'm only offering my positive opinions, is that not allowed now either? However you're off topic, and are therefore ruining the thread. Fucking dullard. Isn't he that Fulham midfielder we're after?

I don't know about the rest of the Disintegration album, but the Cure's "Plainsong" sounds massive if it's played on a decent system.

Pretty much the proportions I'd have expected - I spend far too much time playing word games but my memory's akin to that of a goldfish.

I can see the stay-at-home vote very much deciding the next election. For all Cameron's clearly a wank, I don't think he winds up the pissed-off traditional Labour base anywhere near enough to get them to come out and vote for Brown.

Boris Johnson could be the public face of our nation's capital by this time tomorrow. God help us all

I was going to say. Scally fans + Russian police = fun fun fun! ....actually, fuck the English reputation, bring it on. BBC News 24 party. You bring the doritos, I'll bring the beer. Doritos? I'm bringing Plasma Keks and Noblice! So to speak.

Wait until everyone in Liverpool, Manchester, London and Bangkok has booked their flights, then relocate it. It's the only right thing to do.

I remember getting in such a strop because the tabloids were castigating Marilyn Manson and his ilk while ignoring Ricky Martin's number one song about superstition, voodoo, addiction, nudity, gun crime, devil-worship, pills and insanity. Teenagers, eh?

Richard Dawson - I Will Make It Up To You Local lad. He was three years below me at high school and a bit mad even then. Turns out he's the Geordie reincarnation of Tom Waits (well, sort of. If Tom Waits was dead, obviously). Canny.

I realise the finals have to be spread around the continent in this day and age, but let's be honest, nobody really wants to go to Moscow unless they absolutely have to.

Anyone who's obsessed. (The above post proves my obsession, and Fop agrees 100%, and the fact that I've pointed this out proves my obsession, and...)

Nah, that's been tried in other threads. He kept coming back with multiple "I wonder when the usual suspects will chime in?" and "I love how the usual suspects are all ignoring me" posts. It's a lost cause. And he agrees 100%.

Aye, can't stand Hendry either. When I was young my dad and I were watching one of the Hendry-Jimmy finals and dad asked me who I wanted to win. Not knowing much about snooker, I said Hendry. My dad (and my neighbour, I think) proceeded to give me a long and thorough talk about how and why I should want Jimmy White to win. Can't remember the details of the talk but it worked. Dads are great like that for gentle opinion-forming. "No, son, I think you mean you think this."

Coronation Street then.

Yes, but what about the rock?

I have to admit that "Yellow" put me off them from the start. The way he pronounces the syllables and walks along the beach acting the twat and everything. Grrr. They've actually done some quite acceptable stuff since then, but I'm not relenting.
