We're third favourites because we've got a good team tbh.

Hughton keeps us up this season and it will be a miracle. He's going to have to get a LOT out of a poor crop of players. On one side, it's nice that they're being up front about how fucking stupid they're going to be. On another, it's depressing that they're being up front about how fucking stupid they're going to be.

Smug, horrible wanker of a man. Like Stevie says, it's always the blame laid at someone else's door with him.

Also, true to my word; bullshit.

Because when I think of The Tories, I think of a stable government

Brown's making his statement for anyone who wants to waste time at work.

I will make a statement at 1445 BST which declares the lot of it bullshit.

Interesting game, clearly.

Literally everyone I've spoke to who is voting for the Tories has given me an answer about immigrants and that's it. I don't think the majority of people are aware of what they're like.

He's not very good then, is he?

STING has £180 million?!

Just waiting for Stevie to touchdown in here.

Peter Molyneux is nothing if not a good hype man. He sold me on Fable 2 and it was fucking shit. Nothing says interesting gameplay like farting to attract brides and breaking the game by overpowering one spell and hammering it until everything falls down. I'm excited for this though.

On the side of it?

Too young to remember the last one so this was fantastic to see for me personally. Second goal was a beauty and it's a shame that Best didn't break his duck at the end.

That my friend is what we call a shite one. In other news, everyone laughed at peter griffin for buying volcano insurance, who's laughing now? Certainly not anyone watching Family Guy.

PANIC

All I got from Cameron's bits was that he met a black person once.

Then We Came to The End - Joshua Ferris Very good comedy debut by an American writer about the lives of a group of office workers as they cope with lay-offs, odd jobs and each other. It's very understated and a lot of the comedy comes from the little idiosyncracies that pop up in these relatively normal people. I got it for a quid in a charity shop so it's been a bargain really.

We're never going to win playing with 10 men

Didn't KK praise David Kelly then flog him right after? A manager has to publically back his players, even if they, and us, know they're not up to it.

I can't believe April Lawton never achieved real mainstream popularity in the small time she was active.

I know you were specifically talking about England but as Scotland is so near us I thought it was relevant. It's got some of the best scenery in the planet imo. This year I have been to Mauritius already and will be going to France, NW Scotland and Mexico later on but it's the Scottish trip I'm looking forward to most (weather permitting - it's shit in the rain). The landscape around Torridon is surreal - I'll not post any photos though as this is an NE thread. The Tyne valley just looks quite ordinary to me. As Alex says there's far more beautiful places in Northumberland, especially along the coast imo. I like Corbridge and would like to live there but I'm not sure its worth the premium on house prices tbh. I love that Alston road as well. When you get to the top of the pass and the Lakes are spread out before you - happy times. I agree regarding Scotland, even the borders have beautiful scenery, when you go the slow way through Ponteland to Edinburgh, you get to the border the view is unbelievable at the top. Perthshire's gorgeous too and of course the West Coast, even the area West of Glasgow is absolutely amazing. I bet half of the jocks don't appreciate what they have. Regarding the coast, I find coasts boring, I like greenery and dramatic hills and valleys, but Bamburgh Beach is in the top 10 places of natural beauty in this country especially with the castle as the backdrop. Spent some time in Balloch recently and that has some gorgeous scenery when you look out off Balloch Bridge. Even taking their train service from there into Glasgow has some beautiful stuff, especially if the sun's out.

It's all in the hips.
