So if he's going to this Ajax thing, presumably it's to look at Martins?? Obviously we're not getting anyone from Man United, can't think of anyone at Porto (it is Porto that's playing, isn't it) we'd be in for, and that Huntelaar lad isn't going to leave Ajax for us, is he? (unless he's out of favour, can't say I know anything about his situation tbh). Like Isegrim says, I would hope that we're actually going over to talk to a player, rather than for scouting purposes. It's FAR too late in the day for that, although if we are it's just further proof that our transfer plans are a total shambles.

More importantly, his lordship didn't like the look of him.

At the minute I think we're on at least Plan B, possibly Plan C. Things are not going well.

I think you'd be reinstated, Toonpack. It's not gonna happen though.

Quelle surprise, they flogged him when he was becoming shite and now see that they made the right decision back then... 170272[/snapback] Aye, when we were very first linked with him, he looked a good buy. We continued to be linked with him as he got shitter and shitter and ended up bringing him in. He's still shit unfortunately.

The Spurs ITK over on N-O has been saying the same for months. Reckons Carr is pretty unhappy here and is desperate for a return to Spurs, but they're completely uninterested.

A couple of weeks ago I was preaching patience, confident that something was on the horizon. Right now though, I think it's pretty clear that our transfer plans are in disarray - there's no way Roeder would be interested in intentionally waiting to get someone in. Something has gone wrong in our search for striker(s) and it's now a question of taking a gamble on someone or waiting until January. We can't afford to wait until January, nor can we afford a failed gamble. It's not looking at all good.

Bridget didn't understand it tbh.

Aye the egg bloke was a proper mad inventor. It's a good idea though, and I think they're right that it'll sell a lot - they'll love shit like that in America. At first I was sitting looking at these people - the egg bloke and the Novaflow bloke - and thinking they were idiots for mulling over the investments (especially the Novaflow bloke who turned it down), but I guess if you really believe in the product and think it'll make you millions, you don't want to be giving up 40% of those millions for £75k or whatever. However the Novaflow bloke was taking the piss - £150k for 10% of his company. All he had was a patented idea for which he has to give up 4% of the retail price to the university, and he's trying to claim it's worth £1.5m!? Idiot. The female dragon is a wisened old bitch btw. Mind, you can see watching the dragons how they've got where they are. All pretty charismatic, confident people (with the exception of the woman) and really on the ball with their thinking when they have the ideas presented to them. The wifey with the bog seats though.

Wacky wasn't kidding when he said you were under the thumb, was he? 4 weeks of your holidays used up to paint the house!? Enjoy the time off though. I would kill for a month off work.

A few too many dog-loving mincers in this thread for my liking.

Dogs are far more intelligent than cats. 170014[/snapback] source? 170018[/snapback] Relative brain size, ability to learn skills etc. Domestic cats general have better survival skills than domestic dogs though but that's got nowt to do with intelligence. Cat owners like to pretend their animals are too cool/aloof to train but you can't teach them to do anything because they're thick tbh. 170039[/snapback] Bollocks man, they just aren't interested. Dogs are retarded the way they'll run for sticks and stuff. You throw a stick for a cat - it's not looking at you as if you've got something wrong with you for expecting it to go and get it because it's thick; it's doing it because you've actually GOT something wrong with you for expecting it to go and get it.

That's the classic response when you don't actually know the answer yourself. I bet she was sat there thinking "The little twat hasn't got a clue. So it is."

Agreed, how fucking weird was the ending? I thought it was a total cop-out. Oh, and totally agree about the the film being over-hyped. Decent film, nothing more. I Remember when it was on tv, the mother asking me what the inmate next to Lecter had flung at Starling. Jesus Wept. 169952[/snapback] Hair gel. What was your response? Aye it was just complete crap. I was bored pretty much right from the start of the book, but felt duty-bound to finish it.

It's poor. The book was even worse than the film. The follow-up that is.

Would it be controversial to suggest that the Silence of the Lambs was nothing like as good as it was made out to be? I thought it was a decent thriller, but Jesus wept, the hype was incredible.

Aye I already posted this like.

You a Star Wars geek? 169920[/snapback] Star Trek is more Renton's bag.

I don't have a Nokia N80 though. Daft on there like - they ban people left, right and centre for abusing people, then change someone's username to an abusive word because they've had a disagreement with them.

Ah right. Out of order tbh.

Sima, did you choose your new username on N-O or was it chosen for you?

"About 100 bears were caught up in this frenzied attack, some were merely little chews, whereas some of them had some quite devastating injuries. "Heads pulled off, arms, legs here and there, it was a total carnage really. I've never seen such a mess, there was stuffing, fluff and bear bits everywhere." 169895[/snapback] Carnage.

My mate got a labrador puppy which, unbeknownst to him, ate a whole black bin liner. Anyway first he hears about it, the dog is running around the house trying to get away from this black placcer bag that it's got hanging out of its arse, trying to shake it off, and in the process spraying shit all over the place. He eventually managed to get hold of the dog and had to tie it up out the back and play tug of war with its arsehole for ownership of the bin bag. I was wetting myself.
