I thought the Fellowship of the ring was superb, but got bored during the two towers. He completely screwed up on the return of the king and despite massacreing the book's ending, and missing the entire point of the trilogy I thought, he still made it an hour too long! Jesus did cry at those numerous false endings. 141509[/snapback] Would agree on the Fellowship like, very good - saw it at the flicks. What happens at the end then btw? I've read the book(s) and assumed it was the same. 141514[/snapback] As HF said, the scouring of the Shire was omitted, which for me was a metaphor for the industrial revolution and the loss of an entire way of life - no going back. Not to mention the demise of Saruman. 141525[/snapback] Nerd alert tbh.

Sir Ferg stamped on his foot before the scan tbh.

I highly doubt planes would be enough to fell the Twin Towers. The collapse has all the hallmarks of controlled demolition. 141506[/snapback] Out of interest, do you have any expert knowledge with which to back this up? 141508[/snapback] What I like best is the firm assertion that it has "all the hallmarks of controlled demolition". Like he's an expert in the field of explosives rather than a 6th former that likes a good story.

I saw Sol Campbell shopping in Fenwicks about 6 or 7 years ago.

Posh student these days man. Charva doesn't go down well with the pink shirt and navy v-neck jumper brigade.

Bad craic about her son if it's true though 141461[/snapback] Jesus, I bet she's riddled.

I think natural ability might come into it somewhere like, otherwise I'm really pissed off I went to University and got a "normal" job. 141451[/snapback] He's got natural ability though hasn't he. I wouldn't underestimate what 200 games in the first team can do to improve your game if you apply yourself the way Chopra does.

I reckon if we announced that Dyer was for sale we'd get some takers, actually. However, there's no way he's gonna leave if he's on this supposed £80k a week at the minute.

That's what I meant. We have several players who are useful squad players but are on enormous first team wages. Let's say we sign a new first choice right back who is on half of Carr's wages, we would have a Bernardesque scenario within a couple of months... The wage structure is rotten and looking at the wage/turnover ratio in the last balance sheet it is quite worrying. 141444[/snapback] I agree with your point about getting rid of those that are earning significantly more than their worth. The problem is a) finding a buyer and getting the player to agree to take what is probably a big paycut to leave. I think we're stuck with most of them til their contracts end unfortunately.

Good luck to him like. It's a shame he never fulfilled the potential we were all told he had. It must be soul-destroying to sit and watch Shola given all the opportunities he's had in the first team (Europe, FA Cup Semi Final at Cardiff etc.) while you get farmed out on loan to Barnsley. I'm not saying Chopra is as good as Shola, cos he's not, but with the experience Shola's had he could very well have been.

Sammy's a lawyer tbf to him. I doubt he'll be putting your endorsement on his CV though.

No place for sentiiment etc., plus, he really isn't as good as Ameobi. 141424[/snapback] If we strapped each of them to the front of a bus and crashed them into each other at 88 mph, I reckon we'd have the makings of a decent striker, or a big mess..either way the club wins. 141428[/snapback] Sounds like a worthy experiment tbh.

I'd be thoroughly underwhelmed if we spent any money bringing Hughes back like. Even as cover. Carr should be adequate cover for a new first choice right back although I'm guessing Carr is on daft money. That's a big part of our problem tbh - the mental wages we put people on.

Trust Jimbo to know where to find footage of her career in filth like.

Jesus H Lucifer. 141389[/snapback] Aye, at that price, we can't afford to get in on this one.

I just expected it to not be shit! It wasn't even vaguely entertaining man. If you're into special effects (which I'm not), I suppose the battling with the dinosaur things might have been good, but I just thought it was overly drawn-out pap tbh.

Did her kid know she was a porn star before today like? Anyone in his class who doesn't turn up at school with a whisk today is a nerd tbh.

You've opened yourself up to abuse here, Catherine. Just so you know.

Speaking of horse racing - anyone see the story about that horse that bust its leg in America last week? It was one of the favourites for some horse race coming up. Anyway, the coverage it received was unbelievable. It was the lead news story on most news bulletins, and they had interviews with the surgeon that operated on the horse, pictures of the x-rays, and diagrams showing how the injury came about, and all sorts. They cut to breaking news once to announce that surgery was over and that it was actually standing up. This was major national news for the last 3 days I was there. Almost as bad as us with Rooney's foot tbh.

Watched Saw 2 recently - it was alright, but fairly mindless tat. Also saw King Kong on the plane - absolute pile of shit. Seriously, it's complete rubbish. On the plane back I saw Brokeback Mountain which was good and Match Point which was very mediocre.

She's 35 ( ), spent £35,000 on plastic surgery, claims to have the biggest chebs in Britain, and went from being a size 22 housewife to being a pornstar. Bit like me mam. 141387[/snapback] That's a porn star?! I'm talking about Lea, not your mam. I can't believe she's only 35 mind. Jesus wept! Anyway, Lesleh's granneh from the last series has the biggest chebs in Britain. Or was that just Huddersfield?

Nah, I think they've definitely had a £5.5m bid for Huth accepted. Lad at work is mates with a Wigan season ticket holder, and he was telling me about the AJ/Huth bids the other day before they became Breaking News on Sky. I don't think we've accepted any bids for Milner yet.

What's the story with the old granny who's had all the plastic surgery? Is she as old as she looks or has she just been unlucky with the surgery? Is she the one that J69 is saying likes kitchen appliances?

According to the Times today, us and Seville have enquired about Eidur Gudjohnsen who looks set to defo be leaving Chelsea. What's the bets he moves somewhere while we're in our "being patient" phase. Tbf, I think there'll be bigger clubs than us in for him, but it would be nice if we at least made the effort.

You've got the lasses top? Re the Euro96 top, great memories yeah but I have to say I thought it was a pap design. Got the France '82 World Cup top recently-now that is Retro! (apart from the shite writing across the back!) 141370[/snapback] You've got the look of a Frenchman about you as well, so you pulled it off quite nicely.
