Well, live-ish. Pretty much cemented Newsround's place in every 80s kid's memory though (and quite a few adults' too I imagine).

I blame the News of the World. Worried about peodophills? Make your kids so fat that even the dirtiest old man couldn't fancy them!

I'm just not going to tell you where or when. Watch your back Watch his back? He can't even watch his feet! (etc.)

They sound pleasant. They're awesome. Bunch of ageing punkers who nearly made it into "A Song For Europe" a few years back with a nostalgic ditty by the name of "Rush Goalie" ("No oranges for our half-time / No crusty git to run the line / Rush Goalie thinks he's doing fine / But we've lost 15-49" etc.). Supoib.

Collaborate and listen.

Cesspit Rebels.

Update (Update!) ...at a fantastically ludicrous pub on the fringes of Peckham, with mad old beardy types behind the bar, all sorts of organic and locally sourced alcohol alongside the usual suspects, and bizarre paraphernalia all over the place, from nautical equipment (rudders, navigation devices), deer heads and a penny farthing through to a horse-drawn carriage but with four zebras up front. Seriously. At least I don't think I imagined it, though since I was on the organic cider, I'm not so sure any more... ...as a result of which the boyfriend is currently paying an hour-long visit to Huey and Ralph.

Doubt he would have minded, he isnt a shy guy. Oh Lord have mercy mercy merceeeeey. something something and a party party parteeeeeeeeeeeey Serious NerdRespect to both of you for that.

We'll buy him for £6m next summer.

Oooooooh, he's very wordy isnt he?! Very wordy! Fack orf.

I just assumed "front bottom" was an archaic nautical term, to be honest.

1. Just ruined a perfectly healthy meal of grilled vegetables on toasted rye bread by smothering the whole thing in parmesan shavings. 2. And I mean real cheese and not something that's come off mancy's dubiously-shaped bits. 3. Off out soon to catch up with a mate at the soundcheck for a dodgy punk gig he's playing this evening. 4. He doesn't know I'll be escaping before the gig proper because it's Eurovision night at Retro Bar. 5. Rafael Nadal is a machine.

Only if I'm desperate.

His own fault for leaving his bow doors open tbh. Stern Although as Craig will point out, it was the bow doors on The Herald of Free Enterprise. Aye, that's what I was referring to as well. Hadn't actually thought of the lack of human physical equivalence until now.

That's actually inexcusable. I hope you've never forgiven them.

Alcohol on your 18th birthday? WHOA! It was a full bottle, Nearly killed me tbh, I woke up in the bath with the last glass of it in my hand, Do people often give half empty bottles? Depends whether you're an optimist or a pessimist, I reckon.

Definitely. I think it's true of many, that you get to a certain age in life where you're impressed by very little, and question everything. 90% of this board is at that stage I feel. Then again, 90% of everything on Internet messageboards is a lie.

Well, i would much rather he pulled himself out of it and lived a normal life, but that doesnt look likely As I said, if he's going to die of it then etc. I'd also far rather he got over it, but I agree, the signs aren't exactly sparkling.

Quirky!

Did it have a tag on it saying "This bottle will self-destruct on your 18th-birthday-plus-one-day" or something?

Haven't seen them, but please don't tell me they're like those things you make in cookery at school when you're 9. The very same, Martin. The very same. I'll do you a tupperware box of Rice Krispies ones for a quid.

And she calls herself a good friend? Disappointing effort tbqh.

Regardless of whether it's a disease or not, if he's going to die of it, I hope it happens sooner rather than later so he's still got some chance of being remembered with fondness. Not that dragging it out in the media for decades seems to have hurt George Best's legacy much.
