I went for brown, but only because I didn't have as much supporting evidence for it being white. He agreed. We have most of the Julia Donaldson ones (Smartest Giant in Town is good as well) - they're quite good for showcasing my array of comedy voices!

My youngest boy would love this one. Any excuse to use the 'poo' word (he's the one who asked me whether Chewbacca's poo was brown or white). The Queens Knickers is quite good, as is Room on the Broom (by the author of The Gruffallo).

Or she could stamp her feet.

Thanks for clearing that up for rondeco there, RiS (only a man who has a Star Wars-obsessed child would have known what I was talking about there ;) ). I only saw the first (the 4th of the 6) film as a kid, so didn't get to see Fisher in anything but a white smock and dodgy haircut. It wasn't until I bought the little fellow all 6 episodes on dvd for chrimbo that I got to see her in that space bikini........ Luke must have been fucking gutted to find out she was his sister!

Sorry to keep quoting you!! Is it the one that changes from blue to red (mimicking Anakin's move to the dark side - hark at me!)? Works really well in the dark, in case you didn't know....:smile:

My youngest (4 years old) lives and breathes Star Wars. The other morning at breakfast he asked me whether I thought Chewbacca had brown or white poo. I opted for brown. On a related note his fixation does at least give me the opportunity to watch Carrie Fisher semi-naked on Jabba's barge!

Right, now I've cunningly distracted the others with my banana joke, I can make this push look like an accident and that midfield role is mine!!

Wouldn't you have thought though that at least one of the shithouse hacks in attendance would have picked him up on this severe case of forgetfulness?

Sir Alex vowed to time his holidays better after United scout Crerand introduced new signing Christian Ronaldo to the national press.

I think just a picture of Fletcher should do the trick. Losing to any team with this cup of wank in it should shame all of our players into playing better.

Oi, you. I've only just decorated!

Pennant yet to get the hang of an eye test.

If Gerrard were to march into McClaren's office and demand that he's played in centre mid in place of Tubby or he won't play for England again, Gray would be the first on the goggle box telling everyone who'll listen that Gerrard should be hung for treason. I've read Gerrard say that, while he'd rather play in his preferred position, he's happy to fill in where required to help the team (as any captain should, never mind the captain of Liverpool). I'd be happy enough for Benitez and Gerrard to stay silent on this and avoid giving any credence to the fuckwit's comments.

I think that may have been the difference last night - Barnes and Gerrard were sat chatting like a couple of blokes down the pub.

Barnes was interviewing Gerrard at some point in the show (he did a fairly good job of it considering how bad he was when he first started doing tele). The show's presenter was a bit of a knob, but not in the same league as that Stuart Robson, who described Gerrard along the lines of 'a good player, but someone who doesn't know how to lose a marker'. He then went on to question Agger's defensive abilities. I think Henry Winter got tired of correcting him in the end.

I can't understand why defenders don't just twat the likes of Robben and Drogba if the ref's are giving out free kicks regardless of whether they are touched or not. The defender could then follow up with a polite offer, for example "If you (i.e. the cheating attacker) stop jumping around like an Olympic salmon, I (i.e. the honest defender) will stop trying to remove your legs from the rest of your body".

He looks like he's just about to catch a wardrobe. RE: Benitez - I've a real problem with the amount of money in football these days, but you couldn't pay me enough to stand in front of that shower after the third went in.

I was surprised to hear a reporter on 5Live mention this point (obviously not in the same words) as, surely to God, this can't come in to it can it? This is England we're talking about not a fucking playground knockabout. It could go 2 ways with Gerrard - either spurred on by the rejection or he could think it's not worth the effort anymore and his performance level drops for both Liverpool and England (based on Terry's age he's not going to get another look in at being made captain). Gerrard must be gutted, but for me it works slightly to our advantage only because it's means less pressure on him from the press. Ideal world he tells England to fuck off (as mentioned earlier in the thread, Gerrard was treated like shit by the last England manager), but I'll settle for him playing out of his skin for Liverpool and at the same time constantly giving the ball away in dangerous areas for England.

Did he keep twanging the interviewers braces?

Gerrard & Riise rehearse for Jackson's follow up to his Thriller video.

Wasn't his arl fella from Liverpool (Mike Myer's not Austin Power's)?

Anyone who plays with a smile on his face like Garcia is worth keeping. It's not your simpleton's smile (like Ronnie Dingo's), it's a 'I'm the luckiest player alive, playing for the greatest team in the world' type smile.

Then I'd teach them a lesson and stop any more of our French players going out on international duty. Oh, hang on a mo.....

19. Good touch for a big man. 20. Erm (TM Wayne Rooney)

This pasting pictures lark is way beyond me, but looking at Xavi last night, I thought he looked a little like Robert Downey Jr.
