Hot Fuzz

Bit cuntish to say that when he's been in and out of hospital all year.

The Poseidon Adventure

You're in 'the few', of you're able to complain about the university you didn't get into on the Internet, not a possibility for millions in Africa, North Korea, or even thousands of young people in the UK to an extent. Feels a bit churlish to point that out like, but that's classic 6th former articulately moaning about their lot in ignorance of the bigger picture. I'm sure I was the same. You'll get over it.

I am the walrus - CT

I've been doing almost entirely obstetric anaesthetics for the last few months. As Cath says it it is a privelidge to be present at such a special time, although the only births I see are either planned or emergency caesarian sections. With the latter, women and their partners have the utmost sympathy from me as things can change so quickly you can almost see their heads spinning. Thankfully It sounds like none of you had the pleasure of a section so urgent that mum has to go to sleep (it's quicker than the anaesthetic that means she's awake throughout), which is a truly horrifying ordeal. Btw dads who consider their presence optional get on my wick, not being there is cowardice in the face of the enemy!

Well it's been a while. Give the people what they want.

Controversial is usually an interesting way of saying 'wrong', as in this case! He's a brilliant director - Trainspotting, Slumdog, 28 Days, and my favourite Sunshine. Anyway, finally got round to getting Sky Go - on nights, just watched King's Speech on my iphone. I want an ipad now though! Gonna try to watch the cricket in the morning if I can.

I liked the yellow one we had a few years ago under Souness, it was a third kit or something.

Give CT a break guys. He's a bloke in his forties who's trying to lose a bit of flab. He's not trying to get on the cover of Men's Fitness or do an Iron Man. And I say that as someone who's just dragged himself out of bed between night shifts to go the gym.

WTF is it with having away strips that are either partially black or white when those are the colours of our home shirt!

As Gemmill says we had one before (did Jill once have a screenshot of him making a tit of himself on it in her sig I recall?) but after a couple of weeks it just gathered cybernet dust.

..other inmates? A few of my friends have recently had babies and not a day goes by without more pictures/stories being thrust into my face on erm, facebook. And having done pretty much only obstetric anaesthetics for the last few months can I assure you that all babies look the same. So the "oh he's gorgeous" stuff you hear is all a complete lie. And parents who don't decide on names when the baby is born but wait "to see what he is like" as if the frequency of its bowel motions/crying determines if it's a Brian or a Nigel. And parents who choose shit names, whilst I'm at it.

Why didn't you say that then, rather than quoting examples that have a lot less relevance than our own history and consequences of relegation, which you have ignored. I could see the point you were making, I pointing out that your logic was grossly flawed, which I found surprising for you. I was genuinely asking if you were being thick on purpose. Would you rather have stayed up in 2009 or gone down as we did but with also winning the cup, knowing how well we are doing now? I certainly would have preferred the latter. I'm not sure if I would have said the same had you asked me in April 2009 though. Maybe I still would have anyway.

Dyer's three touches from his own half to chipping the keeper whilst sprinting at full pelt against Everton is still one of my favourite toon goals.

1st point, fair dos. 2nd point was more in response to the assertion that people would rather win a cup and get relegated, than stay up. I was saying that their cup success hasn't done either of those teams much good. If there were examples of teams winning a cup, being relegated not long after and then returning in the same manner as we had, I'd of course want the cup win. As it is, the limited examples of cup winning teams going down soon after seems to show they don't handle the pressures of lower league football all too well Are you being deliberately dense about this? I struggle to see how relevant the plights of Portsmouth (relegated some time after winning the FA cup and yet to return) or Birmingham (yet to have a full season in the Championship after going down & winning the league cup and in the playoff positions anyway) are relevent in the context of the knowledge of how well WE peformed when WE were relegated a few years ago. Your suggestion is that winning the cup somehow hinders a team's ability to return to the top flight. The cup runs may well contribute to their poor league form which lead them to be relegated, which everyone understands. The factors preventing them returning are many but I fail to see how winning the cup itself would be one of them. If anything, winning a cup would lead to retainment/attraction of players despite relegation and therefore actually improve a team's chances of promotion. The fact that Portsmouth haven't and Birmingham are not odds on to (although again, they're not doing too badly) is more likely due to them being poor enough to be relegated in the first place.

Even so, that has to be one of the worst penalty shootouts I've ever seen.

I teach people how to fall/land so they don't hurt themselves when they're thrown. You'd be amazed at the spasticated things people do with their limbs when they lose balance and they're not used to it, so I don't buy this "unnatural foot movement = deliberate attempt to disfigure Parker" rubbish from people who don't know what they're talking about. Like I said above, he might well have meant to do it but the only person who knows that for sure is Balotelli. the footage does not prove anything either way, but I think it looks unlikely.

"what areas we were out performed? Mainly that big green one out there"

That was so obviously a lie, the way he defiantly stared wide eyed back at the journalist as he said it. I imagine he's terrible at poker.

NJS is right, high profile extraordinary examples picked out at as evidence of the norm and people fall for it every time.

Ah, the objective voice of reason.

Well I think it's ridiculous to charge him for something that could well have been accidental. I don't know how you can prove he meant to do it, because in real time it doesn't look deliberate at all to me. It's possible it was, but you can't ban him for doing something possibly deliberate. Unless he admits it then they shouldn't be charging him.
