After seeing the England team visit Auschwitz, I wondered if the German team did the same. http://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/156572#.T9SEtIl5mc1 They did but angered the German Jewish committee as only a few players went (still at least they wore suits), then Bierhoff said a word with a potentially upsetting double meaning and was accused of collossal insensitivity. As much as I find the idea of a German team triumphing in Poland a bit odd if not slightly unpalatable, the current side (only 2 of which are over 30 and only four are older than me) are not responsible for the crimes of the Nazis.

For all his goals, his trophy haul this year is the same as Andy Carroll's.

I suppose, but he could have gone about it in a way where he didn't threaten players with disciplinary action for standing up to racists

Platini saying it's nowt to do with him if the tournament turns into a racism filled disaster, and also that players will be booked if they walk off due to racist abuse. What an absolute Cath word.

Resuscitation doesn't simply mean CPR.

I actually don't mind her maj or even the celebrations that much, it's the harping on about "what a magnificent job she does" that irks me. I'm well aware of all the engagements she has to carry out, it's not the most demanding of callings considering how she is rewarded. You're right though, the next time I'm resuscitating a near dead child, blue from the lack of oxygen, at 4am on Christmas morning I'll think "well this could be worse, I could be The Queen."

He properly threw a blob strop as well when we took the piss with the Royal Wedding didn't he?

Well BHD was more recent than Gladiator at least. I've not seen American Gangster but I don't recall it receiving widespread approval either. My point is that his name on a film is supposed to add weight and respect, but this is almost entirely due to films he made 20-30 years ago. Nowadays when I see his name on a poster it means very little. The last film of his I saw was Robin Hood, which was really, really shit, embarrassingly so, the sort of dreadful turkey that supposedly great directors just shouldn't have on their CVs.

Now I say this without having seen Prometheus, but has Ridley Scott made anything decent recently? Off the top of my head Gladiator was the last thing of his that was roundly praised, and even that's only okay.

This is what I mean - she's much loved simply for being The Queen, and in return for all the riches, power and service she has received due to a mere accident of birth, what has she done for the country? She's never been an embarrassment. Whoop de fucking doo. The fact she smiled when the Red Arrows went overhead was just read out on the radio as headline news ffs. She must piss herself in private, "all I have to do is put on a hat, turn up and wave occasionally and these gibbons lap it up"

Don't do it with a Bloody Mary though.

I had a BBQ yesterday, some of the meat was out in the sun for a bit so you might get your wish later today.

I like using the mint and tea tree stuff. It's like washing your bollocks in a Mojito.

I don't think I'm getting through here.

If I had a choice I'd probably opt for a republic but I'm not too bothered we have a royal family, but the whole idea that the Queen deserves praise for her 'sterling work and dedication to her role' is a load of shit. She's the bloody monarch, what she does is the least you'd expect from her.

I couldn't give a fuck who he gives a fuck to as long as he gives a fuck on the pitch. Ooh I heard that James Milner doesn't pick up his socks, THE FUCKING PRICK.

Sigh

Oh, I take it all back.

You know when I said you'd been posting done sensible interesting stuff of late? You can forget that now.

Fuck's sake guys, why the fuck should these players bother when there's so much shit spouted about them, people disliking them for all sorts of bullshit reasons including those which approach pseudo racism. Hope you enjoy knocking one out as France beat US anyway you bunch of cunts. PS Once you've decided Ferdinand is past it and can't last cope with tournament football then you don't take him, no matter who drops out. Simple as.

Relieved that Smooth Operator hasn't contributed to this thread. Yet.

No smoke without fire tbh.

The second part of your sentence has no relevance to the first. All films are comparable to an extent, but certainly films of the same genre are.

All's fair in love and war.

Frighteningly, you might be correct.
