  1. I worked on Swanwick ATC when they built it...it was a fuckin lash up
  2. From the beeb TMs thingy: Carberry and Bell to open, Monty at 3, the rest can pick their numbers out of a hat" Monty showed more halls than the middle order, that's for sure. Some careers on the line here, Prior, Pietersen etc..quite possibly the captain too and as Ken says Flower.
  3. Much against my better judgement, today I accpeted a ticket for this. Not been since we shipped 6 v them the season we went down, on which occasion we thought it was only 3, as we had drunkenly staggered out feeling a bit thirsty with about 15 mins to go, subsequently missing 3 Ronaldo goals and Smith's red card...didnt find out the real score till about half ten that night The other thing I remember is singing "Fergies right, the fans are shite"...think he must have had a little dig at them in the press beforehand but am not sure what he said..
  4. Nelson Mandela will die soon. Today, tomorrow, this week, next week. It won't be long.When he does die, and David Cameron jumps on the Mandela bandwagon, remember that in 1985 he was a top member of the Federation of Conservative Students, which produced the "Hang Mandela" posters. In 1989, Cameron worked in the Tory Policy Unit at Central Office and went on an anti-sanctions fact-finding mission to South Africa with a pro-apartheid lobby firm sponsored by PW Botha. Remember this when he tells the world he was inspired by Madiba. Is there actually any truth in the first bit?....I think Cameron's trip to SA is well documented...
  5. "one man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter" http://m.huffpost.com/uk/entry/4394394/
  6. Fuckin hell they're all in that Tooner! Little Steven ended up in The Sopranos, played Tony's advisor... Got to have a bit of this too http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=lCZKZILvE70 Even I was still at school when this came out... Nelson running round like a loon in a Springbok jersey after SA won the rugby World Cup always made me smile too RIP.
  7. So paying less to the exchequer is a good thing now? Is this know as the 'Amazon effect"? How many are part time jobs or on zero hours contracts? "Uni for all but the stupidest" was Blairs mantra, no surprise you or Tory party HQ can't see the irony or the pointlessness in providing degrees but no jobs at that level unless the phrase "do you want fries with that?" figures highly. Hope your well mate
  8. Well yeah, I've no problem with this place as the balance is a lot better between assessing an individual game and what patterns can be established over a season or 3. And this place doesn't remind me of "lord of the flies" neither, fuckin NO does.
  9. That's a bit contradictory though... Why waste time having a go at the weak,limited and ineffectual manager when as long as were midtable he's no chance of getting the sack? By all means post what you like if it makes you feel better, but we all know the root cause of the issues at the club and he's going nowhere. NO has a near 30k thread on Pardew, the Ashley thread had about a quarter of that number of posts. Should be the other way around iyam.
  10. That place is basically a coven of the worlds worst cunts. "I HATE PARDEW MORE THAN YOU DO, NO HONESTLY I DO!!!!!" That doesn't include Parky & HF, voices of sanity on there Seen worse than last night, seen better. Under the current regime were a midtable side at best, NO know this but can't accept that nothing will change until there's change at the top. Hating Pardew is childishly stupid and misses the point by a galactic mile.
  11. Fuck all in reserve when Shola and Remy seize up after an hour or so....if you think our second half displays have been defensive recently then I fear "you ain't seen nothing yet"
  12. Id be questioning who decided to spend all the Bale money at once. We all know integrating foreign players takes time.
  13. 1156 PREMIER LEAGUE HEAD-TO-HEAD Swansea v Newcastle (19:45 GMT) Swansea and Newcastle have only met four times in the top flight, with Swansea winning two to Newcastle's one victory. Only one of Swansea's four league wins this season has come at the Liberty Stadium but they have scored more goals (17) than any other side in the bottom half of the table. Swansea have not lost this season when scoring first - picking up four wins and a draw. However they have failed to win any of the seven matches in which they conceded the opening goal
  14. Trousers?...I thought it was her eczema playing up...
  15. Brian Robson/chronicle circa 85-93
  16. Agreed. But that goes for the whole England squad tbh. Posession is the name of the game in international football. He's very good at keeping it.
  17. Re Garth Crooks....there was a Lfc fan at work today who said Tom Huddlestone didn't give Gerrard a kick yesterday...I'd take him to Brazil..one of the few players in this country who treasures possession..
  18. The thing that complicates this is Amazon isn't operating as another retailer/manufacturer, they're acting as a host. They don't make cosmetics, your model works perfectly if you say Lush and Bodyshop, as they're both in the same game. Amazon is operating as a middle man, and the internet is still a pretty new tool with principles that are up in the air such as this.
  19. why can't they just direct them to the lush website?... I understand that's not how business on the internet works, but it doesn't mean lush aren't right to try to change it. Lush are run from a couple of smallish units on an industrial estate, have you seen one of Amazons "fulfillment centres" where you get £8 an hour on nightshift for walking 11 miles round and round during your shift like a fuckin drone?....wait a minute... :/
  20. Fuckin sky need their eyes testing...it was Sissoko iyam...one of his best performances for us even without the goal, although Brunt was allowed an unchallenged run on his side for their goal..
  21. http://www.ibtimes.co.uk/articles/526493/20131201/lush-high-court-challenge-copyright-infringement-amazon.htm Lush HQ less than 100 yards from our flat, all power to them
  22. Sounds a class weekend CT Apart from 80 quid paid to the tosspots at ATS who wouldn't even consider that driving over catseyes shouldn't cause a puncture in a tyre fitted only 6 weeks ago, I had a belter too...
  23. Hull City would have to exist at a lower level, but theyd still be Hull City. Football clubs weren't created to be advertising hoardings for millionaires, they were formed to represent communities. The sooner everyone grasps this the better, supporters included. This is pretty much "shutting the door after the horse has bolted" by about 25 years, but when the actual historical identity of clubs is being ditched in favour of cold hard cash then perhaps the Hull fans have decided that a belated line needs to be drawn.
  24. No more permanent nights? Good times!
  25. Did you actually get kicked out of the match yesterday?....
