Fulham have the potential to be the worst team in the division at times, they are utterly hopeless on occasion. They have to go down, they deserve nothing less. Doubt this will save Sunderland though - Southampton and Man Utd next; and their final run in is horrendous. Wham might get away with it though, judging by today at Cardiff. Would like to see Cardiff down.

Johnson's second... Not pointing fingers or anything.

Fulham edging back into it...

...wtf is wrong with Fulham? Also, Carlton Cole of all people has just scored and Wham are winning. Have we entered the Twilight Zone?

Palace are comprehensively outplaying Spurs...

Not that this proves anything at all, but guess who just scored for Sunderland...

Shame for palace as I'd have backed them to hold Spurs to a draw if they'd put that in.

Everton have just unveiled Aidan McGeady. A player who we probably should have considered and I reckon will do a good job for them.

Read the other day that alcohol can improve output in terms of creativity - currently sitting working away with a pint of Moretti. So far haven't written a thing.

Are you serious about that last bit? Fuck me, the Americans are weak. Awesome film though, also really enjoyed it.

Essentially your online presence can be summed up as 'SomeDave and a Fish'.

Actually your username origin story was a good one!

So bringing this back onto films worked out well... My g/f wants to see that Judy Dench film where she loses some kid or another and has to find him again... is that as bad as it looks? I have to watch it apparently because she sat through Pacific Rim...

How can that possibly be the avatar you've decided on...

I quite enjoyed that, people can be so creative with terminology when given the proper inspiration.

I'd argue that there isn't a moral difference per se, but that morals that direct behaviour outside of being a decent person to those around you are artificially created to perpetuate subservience to our 'betters' in the absence of religion. It's not like the writers for movies get paid per sale. They barely get paid at all. The 'system' lost the moral high ground with the advent of DRM anyway.

Only decent? I had really high hopes for it to be honest... not the kind of film I expected to enjoy, but I thought it'd be eye opening and unsettling. Boy do I love being unsettled.

It's a really tough one in my book - to be honest, I think the thing that's been proven with music is that if you make it available for a reasonable price, people will buy it rather than risk downloading it illegally. They still haven't got this set up properly with films IMO - You've got iTunes which is utterly awful (That condition that you need a specific kind of TV to download to a computer them stream up to the TV is utter bollocks - and I no longer use iTunes as a result - HDCP or something like that). iTunes is also extortionate though - I think Amazon will do it, I'd buy from them and they'd likely be cheaper than everyone else. Also, this is the people vs corporations - it's not like they don't screw us over at every opportunity. I'm generally ok with screwing corps over. Not that I download actually, but then I don't watch many films.

And thank you for that mental image...

Ah... wtf happened to Santon?

I truly and honestly thought your username was some kind of bizarre inneundo, possibly involving wanking. I assumed "Throbbing" under your avatar was a continuation of that. Can't believe it's something as mundane as a knot...

Having watched Swansea do a reasonable job against them in their last game, I don't see why we can't test them. It's not going to be a massacre by any stretch. Probably lose but only by a couple of goals I reckon.

Thanks for replies and sorry I duplicated the thread - I did an initial search but apparently a rubbish one. Found this really interesting though! It's cool how many people just went with whatever was immediately available to them mentally/whatever was lying around (CT). Also never been on a forum where so many people are comfortable using their actual names mind. I'm actually disappointed that you didn't come up with that fair enough though. I noticed on the twitter thread that your twitter account is thisdave - Specifically this one. Not that other one, fuck him.

Just wondering if anyone fancied shedding some light on why they have the usernames they have? I know some of them (Tom, Andrew, etc) are obvious (constellations, right?), but I have to wonder why for instance, we have someone called Christmas Tree. And Ayatollah Hermione (which I think is my personal favourite, certainly if it is indeed a simple combination of an Islamic cleric and Hermione Grainger). There's also a lot of people named after animals which I've not seen before and is slightly bizarre. (Not Fish, but 'The' Fish. Why 'The'?) So for me - it's just a long standing internet alias; it used to be Ravenblade after the video game that never was, but it's morphed over time. I decided that this forum was more 'real' than a lot of others I'd been part of, and that Rayvin would give me a more human sounding edge (in that it could be shortened to Ray if needed). Anyway, just curious (and apparently slightly crazed).

Does that come out before or after tax?
