See, bunch of fascists.

I found it a lot easier carving a pumpkin for the bairn than the clart on I used to have when I was little with a snazzy nicked out the farmer's field. Without wishing to go all RobW (PBUH) I don't think I saw a pumpkin in real life until I was about 13.

How about: "After decades of success and being considered one of the top sides in Europe, how does it feel to be mid-table also-rans playing second fiddle to your local rivals?"

Aye, true enough. It was more that they both get in each others way at times the way Shearer and Ferdinand did. We were still (very) effective with Shearer and Ferdinand playing though. The football wasn't quite as good though. I suppose that's being picky but at the time we thought we could afford to be. Anyway, Mick Quinn reckons Cisse and Ba can play together so it must be true.

Aye, they both make very similar runs etc. Not that they're the same types of no. 9 as them but it's similar to the situation when Shearer and Ferdinand played together.

On the whole I'm pretty happy like. Not that life is perfect or owt but I know I'm lucky in loads of ways and I'm equally lucky in that, for the most part, I appreciate that.

Ant, I now hate Owen as much as I hate Martins so at least we've come a bit closer together on this issue.

Ok, Tex.

That post sums you up tbh.

That's what it reminds me of

I heard that. In fact someone told me he was the manager. It could be he's working there and just told them he's the manager like. I haven't been in the Travs for years. Is it still fucking shite?

I've done my own homemade ones before and I honestly wouldn't bother after trying these. Homemade ones are nice but they're a faff and then it's hard to stretch the dough enough to get them thin enough. With these kits you get enough for two pizzas (oblong ones, the size of a baking tray) and the sauce comes with it. I'm not normally one for shop bought pasta sauce type things either but this is spot on, so you don't even need to make that. You then just out your own topping on. Sorry if I'm teaching Grandma how to suck eggs here but just make sure you don't put too much topping on and slice your topping really thin. They cost about £2.50 and they're nicer than any 'fresh' ones I've bought in a supermarket before.

Those Just Roll pizza kits are spot on btw. You need baking parchment / greaseproof paper though. Lovely thin crust.

Might've known Tex would ride into town to defend his beloved septics.

The 45, that brings back memories.

Gourmet, Boldon-style

Arsenal showing a distinct lack of AMBITION imo.

He's nee Manimal like.

I blame hip-hop. And Things to do in Denver when you're Dead.

He's not really blaming the gun though. Surely his point is that the gun laws over there make access to guns easier, which makes things like this more likely to happen. That doesn't excuse the bloke that did it but it wasn't intended to.

Eileen Drury.

Aye, he could play centre-half too (started off there I think). You said most games though I think basically once he played upfront a few times, he was kept there because of his goalscoring record and only played at centre-half after that in emergencies / when injuries dictated. He goalscoring record is class. Probably Wales' best ever player (certainly him or Giggs anyway) and one of the best the British Isles ever produced. Wales might've won the World Cup in '58 if he'd stayed fit. And while what you say is right about the era he played in he was noted for being a very fair player (like Billy Wright).

That's what I meant by espadrilles but it's Toms isn't it? I think that's the brand name. Even the charvs I pass going to Gateshead College wear them. I know I'm getting on a bit like but fuck me. They're ridiculous
