On reflection, I can't believe I spoiled the thread with an on-topic post.

When are you going you big fruit? I'm on the 5th floor btw! Depends what their return and exchange conditions are like. I get bored easily.

Nar, ended up crippled by the man-flu for most of the trip. Didn't stop us doing most of the above sights and bits and bobs though.

Canny.

WHY ??????????????????? Because if I didn't, some "straight" bloke would. now I have just spent the last five hours being a fag hag so !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!???? WHY And I've spent the last five hours surrounded by 18-year-old gayboys wearing angel wings and tracksuit bottoms. Which I suspect makes me even more of a faghag than you.

WHY ??????????????????? Because if I didn't, some "straight" bloke would.

Well it had to be mentioned.

Always glad for an excuse to roll out these three excruciating minutes:

Were you duct-taped to the wall?

Aye, I was thinking the same. Or have a few weeks where you play several rounds of the FA/League Cups but no league matches, so teams can rest their star players if they want, but at the risk of being tonked by some lower-league rabble. Maybe.

Alonso secures exit from McLaren Former world champion Fernando Alonso has left McLaren after negotiating an early release from his contract. McLaren and Alonso have had an acrimonious relationship this season and a McLaren statement said that both parties had "agreed to move on". Alonso is free to join another team, his agent Luis Garcia Abad told the Spanish media, adding that neither party would pay a financial penalty. Red Bull and Renault are the favourites to sign him for next season. And BBC Sport understands Red Bull are the more likely option. Alonso's relationship with McLaren soured following a series of rows with team boss Ron Dennis this season. It is not known who would replace Alonso as Lewis Hamilton's team-mate, but Williams's Nico Rosberg and Renault's Heikki Kovalainen are the favourites. Alonso finished 2007 tied on points with team-mate Lewis Hamilton and only one adrift of Raikkonen. He joined the team this season on a three-year contract worth a total of 50 million euro (£34.7m). But he spent much of his first season at McLaren under a cloud. Initial misgivings about the level of support McLaren were giving to Hamilton, who was in his debut season this year, soon degenerated into a series of rows with Dennis. These became public in the course of the spy scandal that rocked the sport this season, when McLaren were fined $100m (£49.2m) and thrown out of the constructors' championship after being found guilty of being in possession of confidential Ferrari documents. Alonso became central to the row when, in a row with Dennis at the Hungarian Grand Prix in August, he threatened to reveal incriminating e-mails to governing body the FIA. Although Alonso soon apologised, Dennis had already phoned FIA president Max Mosley himself, starting the chain of events that led to McLaren's punishment. Following those events, the relationship between Hamilton and Alonso also deteriorated, with both saying they would rather not partner the other again for another season. Both men later said the antagonism between them had been overplayed by the media. It has been widely speculated that wherever Alonso ends up next season, it will be for only a year before moving to Ferrari. Ferrari last month extended Felipe Massa's contract to 2010, which appeared to end the possibility of Alonso joining in 2009 because Raikkonen is also contract to the team for another two years. But Ferrari president Luca di Montezemolo is known to be a fan of Alonso, and said after the conclusion to the championship last month: "Alonso is world-class in every sense. "I have appreciated very much his sportsmanship. He lost by one point and I believe it wasn't his fault." It is possible that a vacancy could be made for Alonso by paying up Massa's contract at the end of next season.

Aye, the Fiver.

Cool cool. Thanks people. Really looking forward to this now.

They must be short on strikers.

I heart Mew. Next album should be out in the new year.

"Lame insult", "lame excuse" etc. certainly aren't last-10-years Americanisms. "Lamer" and its ilk are a different matter, obviously.

Cheers. That last sentence makes it sound like my kind of place already.

Off to Prague this weekend for the first time. We're staying with a British friend who's lived over there for a year or two, so we should be able to avoid the stag weekend hordes (to an extent) and be guided around most of the relevant sights, but if any of you lot have been before and have any tips or wee bits of inside information to share, please do holler.
