  1. I think Big Brother just proves that the human condition is a whole lot less interesting than we'd like to believe. 137729[/snapback] I have always been fascinated by the how and why of human behavour. Ive got a degree in the psychology of group and interpersonal behaviour, so I am sucker for BB
  2. is that ok for you spongy ? 137720[/snapback] Acceptable aye. Sound like nice chaps
  3. Im not embarressed at all- I think Freddie has got it bang on. Barnwell had a point and was entitled to make it. Once he had he could have acknowledged the fairly unique situation we found ourselves in. The rules allowed for the Chairmen to make an exception, which they did. And still he bleats on. Typical no-mark know-nowt free loading self-serving blazer wearing shithead that pervades so much of our society. He should shut up and fuck off I am embarressed by Newcastle fans backing him to score points against Shepherd. That is very poor imo
  4. Anybody with a passing interest in the human condition, personality and social interaction can find a wealth of fascination in big brother. The central truth, that all the contestants go in trying to play a part, and not a single one is able to prevent the breaking down of their artifice. All eventually revert to type, some disintegrating spectacularly, some disapearing under a cloud of dullness, but the journey they take is the strength of the concept, even if that is not the programmers intention. On a different level, its also a fantastic soap admittedly one that has periods of utter utter boredom, but thats what you get from having real people. Shame you cant see past the posturing of the contestants and the easy snobbery of disdain
  5. I dont know about anybody else but as soon as I see a full song my interest dissappears and i scroll down to look for a couple of lines or a verse to read. Thats much more intereseting to me, whether I think they are good crap or indifferent. So in the spirit of keeping it brief...... I'm the all night drug-prowling wolf Who looks so sick in the sun I'm the white man in the Palais Just lookin' for fun
  6. Two scotch eggs and a banana milk, always my favourite hangover cure
  7. Well so far this year Ive given up drinking, weed and illegal stimulants - I might as well add Big Brother to the list. I do think it is fantastic television a lot of the time though, but now that I spend all my time in the clutches of online poker I just cant afford the time.
  8. My biggest worry is Freddie seeing Roeder as first team coach in the continental stylee with himself as the Overlord controlling transfers. Admittedly I have no evidence at all for this, but he does seem fond of the dramatic gesture like the Geordie Galactico Owen. I tend to try and keep hoping for the best when it comes to Newcastle, so I am encouraged by the lack of want away talk from the players, that Shay has signed a new contract, and the obvious improvement in atmosphere around the club. Roeder seems very intelligent and knowlegable about the game, and hopefully will prove to be good technically, something we have never really had enough of. He seems fairly media friendly, but hasnt really faced too much crap yet- that probably wont be long coming. Its hard to have much preconceived idea of how its likely to go, which should keep it interesting if nothing else. I think its a shame Shearer wont be more involved, not a popular view on here I know, but they seem a natural partnership to me, and if Shearer is to stay involved much easier this way than looming over any future incoming manager. Anyway, Newcastle are such a bloody infuriating enigma would anybody actually be that surprised if this seemingly unlikely appointment proved a success.
  9. Strolls into work claiming to have been "Visiting a client"
  10. Lyrics threads-where the horror of copy and paste can be fully revealed
  11. Lass at university thought that was 'mash a beetroot in your head' 136154[/snapback] Oooh thats hot!
  12. Sweetness, sweetness I was only joking When I said I'd like to smash every tooth In your head Oh ... sweetness, sweetness, I was only joking When I said by rights you should be Bludgeoned in your bed A litle bit of Morrissey to celebrate someone just ringing me up and offering me a free ticket to see the great man on Friday. Hurrah!!
  13. One of the ironies of the Bellamy situation is that it has appeared to have made him grow up a bit. Shame he didnt before he left
  14. I am exactly the correct weight for my height, if I was ten foot fuckin six
  15. Does this mean he is looking forward to some action in the ring?
  16. Out of a sense of duty, and expecting a pretty lame and embaressing event I watched on ITV4 last night. Well what a magnificent send off. The scarf waving looked absolutely superb, and your non geordie commentators esp. Graham Taylor were gobsmacked. Well done us
  17. The police report is in from the Marriot. They found sour grapes and hard cheese I'll get my coat
  18. I like to think I am down with the kids, but I havent even heard of this boy band Testimonial my arse. Are they any good?
  19. I for one salute our new archetypal geordie overlords
  20. Absolutely....until that's been addressed, we'll never attract a "big name" manager IMO. 134327[/snapback] I am a bit embaressed to admit it but if I am perfectly honest I think the Shearer thing might actually work
  21. I am quite happy, I think he has earned himself a shot and I do like the bloke. That grin he gave at the final whistle quite melted my heart. I am really quite intrigued to see how next season goes. I was only half joking about Shearer aswell, at least if he jumped on board now we can get it out of the way.
  22. All we need now is Shearer to be confirmed as his number 2 and the good times will be just round the corner
  23. So does Roeder now have to join the LMA? Paying his yearly subscription will stick in his craw
