I tell you what like, he looks a hell of a lot older than 21. Story is that the Nigerian website is wrong - apparently it's not the only age on the website that they've messed up. I doubt the move is "on ice" because of this though - probably Oliver's just discovered it and thought it would make a good story.

Even so though, that would mean that presumably there is at the very least, a handful of people in Britain thinks that the funniest thing they've ever heard on TV is: "You were expecting a bloke with a beard, a bible and bad breath. You've got a babe with a bob cut and a magnificent bosom." Even a handful of people doesn't bear thinking about. What if it was more like a hundred?!

Was that you in that youtube video? 176724[/snapback] I doubt it!!! I haven't seen what you're referring to but I was only about 8 at the time. A time when only 8mm (?) cine camera existed. Link?? 176726[/snapback] Cave drawings more like.

If you're gonna c&p you could at least sort the smilies out. Was that on NO originally?

Ever so slightly.

That does sound pretty harsh like. I'd be pointing out that my immune system would have his all over the shop.

They're made up quotes from some wag on TyneTalk apparently. The Journal have printed them as factual quotes though, the clueless cretins.

Spared you the ring of fire though, tbf.

The stuff with the US Senate was quality and he wiped the floor with them, but he's a bit of a twat all in all. Overall I think Chantelle deserved to win.

Looking at the strength of Liverpool's squad and the possibility of them picking up some more signings (Kuyt) over the next couple of weeks, I think they'll be the closest challengers to Chelsea in the coming season and are good value at 8/1 with Coral. Chelsea are 2/5.

Yup, I'm a bit concerned that O'Neill might suddenly become interested in Bridge and Gravesen. Apparently Portsmouth have put in a £9.5m bid for Martins too. It's all going swimmingly. Fast forward to 11:47 on July 31st and Roeder "I'm still confident we can get three or four players in before the window closes. Damien Duff was not the last bit of business I'll be doing this month." 176674[/snapback] August 31st. July 31st would require a rewind.

The Vicar of Dibley getting into any list that includes the word "funniest" in the title is a disgrace. Particularly when you read the line. Jesus wept.

When I was 18 went on holiday with my mates to Benidorm (classy). Anyway, OFAH always reminds me of there because every day we'd go to this English bar for a full English and all it showed, all day from morning to night were OFAH videos. Nice with bacon, eggs and a hangover.

Jesus Wept! 176651[/snapback] I'm with you there Sammy. 176659[/snapback] Went to see him live, not expecting to enjoy it, and he was very funny hindeed. Worth going to see just to see how his mind works. I HATE comedians who have to leap about the place to be funny (physical comedy is shite), which is part of why I was wary, but he surprised me by being funny without all that carry-on.

I mentioned it on N-O. Got bollocked off Wullie for calling him a dwarf.

Aye that's the one. It was partly my fault for going on New Year's Eve like, but the entire carpark was gridlocked. Took about 10 minutes for someone to let me even pull out of my space. Absolutely crazy.

Split my head open loads of times when I was a kid, coming off bikes and the like. Nothing major though - have never broken any bones which has led me over the years to believe that I might actually be unbreakable.

Awful, but I can't help wondering if there was a bit more than this going on. I had a mate who was ridiculously spoilt and was being brought up by his grandparents, who would threaten to hold his breath if he didn't get what he wanted. After about 30 seconds they would always give in. But to make a gesture like that behind closed doors is not exactly going to work. Either way, it's very sad that a young kid of that age has committed suicide, whatever the motivation.

Raw and Delirious are 80s classics.

Is that shit, no jokes or please, no jokes ? 176591[/snapback] I'd go for the latter tbh. Your new threads are better than the smeeagains.

Same on Mothers day, the fucking Knackers who push trollies turned into traffic cops. 176585[/snapback] I felt like Michael Douglas in Falling Down. I was on the verge of losing it.

This Gossip Column thing is bollocks anyway, but with a week to go to the start of the season, I'm no less concerned at the lack of transfer activity. Gravesen's agent apparently saying they're talking with several clubs etc. No suggestion from anywhere that there's a bid in for Martins (I'm sure Inter would be shouting it from the rooftops to kick-off a bidding war). No movement on Bridge by the look of things. Canny good.

The fact that you rank Lee Evans amongst your favourite stand-ups is funnier than Lee Evans himself. He's basically Phil Cool's less funny younger brother. And it's not easy to be less funny than Phil Cool. Hicks is quality. I like Gervais's stuff, but he's not done enough of it.

With O'Neill taking over as manager, and now this, it's very possible that Villa will be another team set to overtake and move ahead of us, in the same way that I genuinely believe Spurs are/already have. It won't be long before the higher wages we can offer players cease to outweigh the better career prospects that they have at these other clubs, if we're not careful. Sorry to once again be a bit Rentonesque, but we're definitely in danger of becoming also-rans if these billionaire takeover deals keep going through in the Premiership, with Shepherd digging his heels in and refusing to sell his share. Having said that, it hasn't helped Portsmouth too much of late. Let's hope that Villa don't hijack any of our transfer dealings over the next couple of weeks anyway.
