Well I feel better about myself anyway.

I thought this was going to be Cousin I'd love to fuck. I'm not sure how to feel about it now.

Jaws for me, it's my favourite film so it has to be. Raiders second and E.T. third. I was too young (or not born re:Jaws) to see any of them in the pictures but I'll always remember seeing Jurassic Park for the first time in Woolton as one of the best times I ever had in the cinema. Scared the fuck out of me. Here's to swimmin' with bow legged women.

Apart from the likes of Fowler, McManaman, Rob Jones (who after McAteer arrived spent most of his time as the left Wing-back and was still ace) , Collymore when his head was right and a revitalised Barnes the rest of the squad was much of a muchness and desperately flimsy. Our defense apart from Wright, Jones and maybe Harkness were incredibly dodgy, especially the god awful keeper, David James. Although when they were good they were very, very good when they were bad they were fucking dog shit. Oh and Michael Thomas should have never lost his place to Redknapp in 96.

Terry Pratchett George MacDonald Fraser Iain Banks P.G. Wodehouse Sue Townsend Sarah Pinborough Evelyn Waugh Charles Dickens David Simon Susan Hill Joan Didion Hmm, four girls in there. Helps answer the bollocks going on in the Shit Authors thread.

That's a BIG if.

Dennis you're so much more readable when you use paragraphs.

"ten-a-penny grunts." That's an illuminating turn of phrase.

That's a hell of a lot of qualification that I didn't read in the Chomsky article, NV. The BNP and the EDL are representative of a cluster of fucktards from Greater Manchester and Luton respectively as far as I'm concerned. I'll be sticking with the bollocks angle. Sorry la.

Sensationalist, ignorant bollocks. Major force my arse. Chomsky might be making some valid points but when there's such an uninformed sentence like this blaring out, how can you separate the wheat from the chaff in the rest of the articles?

No one's mentioned the awesome lezzing out at the beginning of Monday's episode? For shame GF.

No one but I think the polls and local election results as a reflection of opinion go hand in hand this close together. Maybe 18 years was a bit of a histrionic thing to say but it's going to be incredibly difficult to shift them. Especially with the boundary changes that are mooted and with FPTP still in effect.

I'm not saying that. The disaffected LD's will vote Labour or Green and split the left of centre vote in that constituency. Letting the tories in through the back door. Polls schmoles. The local elections as always are more of a protest vote. Remember 1992. The splitting of the left vote I was talking about is like an SDP moment. The more the left is split the more the right is strengthened and the longer it stays in power the more entrenched it becomes. The tories will get stronger before they get weaker. I hate being so negative about Labour's chances and I'll back them all the way. They need to start building bridges with Greens and LD's though because a coalition of the left will be needed.

Oh and the more likely that looks the more likely the Scots will vote for independence in a referendum.

The left vote is too fragmented and/or apathetic. I think we're kidding ourselves if we think disaffected LD voters in the south west, for example, will switch to Labour automatically. Wherever the Lib Dem vote is a narrow first with the tories second or vice versa those constituencies will probably turn blue or bluer. Not because the tories will get a greater share but because the left vote will be split wider. Labour is still unpopular with floating voters after the last few years of it's reign and it's going to take a lot more than Ed Miliband to bring them back. The boundary changes will fuck up Labours vote even more and favour the tories which you could say it's almost designed to do. I hope I'm wrong but I can easily envisage another 18 year tory grip on the country ahead of us.

*tuts* Jimmy Cagney's character in Angels With Dirty Faces.

I voted no out of hope rather than expectation. I can't see a move to break the coalition from the top of the party apart from maybe Cable and he won't be able to do it alone. Thing is though an election within the next couple of years probably won't do the centre-left any good at all. I don't think Labour got it right with Ed Miliband and he does have an air of Hague about him. I think there's a good chance of a change of leadership mid-term for Labour if the government lasts until 2015 which might make all the difference. The LD's are, only partly fairly, taking the heat for the thuggery coming from No.11 and will take heavy losses I feel if there's a GE sooner rather than later. However it pans out the most likely way to achieve a centre-left government will be a Lib-Lab coalition but even that's a long shot now. The electorate are so apathetic, in England especially, we're almost certain to have a decade or more of majority Tory rule.

First. We've got a born winner in charge and that has already permeated through the rest of the club. There won't be any cautionary talk of 5 year plans or a few transfer windows to get it right from Kenny. The players and staff will go about things one game at a time with no big fanfare and get the job done from the off, I've no doubt.

Typical Houllier-esque note of caution from the crab-like Murphy.

I've been listening to the Desert Island Discs archive which has some brilliant interviews. Ricky Gervais, Steve Coogan, Billy Connolly, Morrissey, Paul Weller there's loads. My favourites so far have been James Ellroy and Oliver Postgate. Get on to it GF. Got to agree with the Adam & Joe podcast too.

It was The S*n as an institution in itself that the boycott targeted not News International. The Times and NotW are separate institutions with separate editorial staff who in 1989 didn't happily splash lies (all too believable lies for the rest of the country at the time) about a tragedy that had just happened days before all over their front pages. Boycotting that rag is about letting the rest of the world know that such disgraceful fabrication will not be tolerated by us either as Liverpool supporters or residents of the city.

Man Utd - 84 Chelsea - 74 Arsenal - 73 Liverpool - 64 City - 63 Spurs - 59 Blackburn - 37 Blackpool - 37 Wigan - 34 We'd need to win all our games and rely on Spurs and City to draw a few but fuck it, stranger things have happened.

Darth Vader vs a big fiery eye that recites poetry. No fucking contest.
