  1. No, not heard anything either. It was only meant to take ten weeks if you got the job, its been half that already!
  2. Got to be Barlow. Moore was suave as Bond years ago, what has he done since? He was suave whilst being 30 years younger than Barlow is now and also being the worlds best spy. Barlow on the other hand, still pulling birds despite being retired, pushing 80 and living with his wife and mother-in-law! And Moore didn't have an alcoholic son to deal with in between pulling the ladies!
  3. What does Josef Fritzl say when he wants sex? Fancy a bit of how's yer father!
  4. Definitely, best pub in town for me. Lovely ale ( try a black Erdinger ), a bit pricey mind roughly £3 - £3.50 a pint. Most people are over 30 so it doesn't really attract any dickheads just people who want a quiet drink, even though it will be busy on a Saturday.

    [quote Mark did you live on Garden Lodge? Just you mentioned opposite the comp and by the Turtle. Yeah, lived in Garden Lodge for 17ish years and used to live in Vetch hey when I was growing up by the bluey. Hope the new development breathes some life into the area, but after someone burnt down the valley theatre which used to be in the same place not so long ago I don't hold much hope!

    Yeah I see where you are coming from mate, don't get me wrong I had a lot of good times there and made some good friends but after moving from there you realise how deprived the area really is. When I was growing up there it was commonplace for most of my mates dads to be on the dole ( and working on the side ) and even though things have changed a lot now there are still some big problems there. Also have you heard about the golf course / Angling centre they are planning to build on the site of Netherley comp? This is what it says about it on Wikipedia; Future developments Supplementing the existing golf driving range, a nine hole golf course is planned as part of a £10 million sports park to be built on the former Lee Manor High School site (formerly Netherley Comprehensive). The 3 par course will replicate versions of some of the world’s best holes. The sports facility will also contain a gym, two fishing lakes and eleven all-weather football pitches. Crazy place to put it in my opinion!

    I lived in Netherley for 25 years ( by Netherley comp ) moved to Aintree 3 years ago, best move I ever made. It was alright if you lived there but it was a right shithole really, used to drink in the Brick wall and live right by the Turtle. Still got a lot of family who live there so go down now and then, wouldn't live there for the world now though.
  8. It took me absolutely fucking ages to do mine, if I don't hear back I will be gutted. Fuck knows why you can't just put in your CV and fill in a normal application form.
  9. Thanks for the help lads, gonna get me a cup of coffee and try and get it done before sunrise!
  10. Trying to fill in the application form now and it is a bitch! Anyone got any ideas on what kind of example to use for the "recognise colleagues as internal customers question"? Ta for any help.
  11. I went on a date with a bird from me gym last year who, after I told her I was a veggie, proceeded to point to every fucking meat dish on the menu in Lloyds and say " would you eat that?". To make it worse about an hour after I dropped her off she text me saying "would you eat chicken nuggets from McDonalds!?"
  12. I sell power tools for a living, Dewalt, Makita, Paslode, Festool etc... Gettin home from work and seeing this thread is depessing, the only thing I hate more than power tools is DIY enthuisiasts.
  13. He is a man of many talents. My skills in skinning small animals and repairing household appliances were passed onto me by the big man himself.
  14. Yep, I would be living in a crack house and mugging old ladies now if Batistuta wasn't in my life.
  15. One of the greatest goalscorers I've ever saw, not in the same class as Pele or Maradona obviously, but I'm sure everyone who followed Italian footie on channel 4 will agree, he was a great player.
  16. Wolfgang Wolf the former manager of Wolfsburg takes some beating.
  17. Try Quinn direct mate, internet company who I found to be the cheapest by far.
  18. You can't beat the 'Jamaica lager beer' that is Red Stripe, although Lennons bar seems to be the only place in Liverpool that sells it. Coors, Miller and Rolling Rock are good, also.
  19. 15/08/05 Wake up and smell the coffee, David! By Alan Green ALL SUPPORTERS love to dream of success, particularly at the dawn of a new season, and the media generally loves to feed those dreams. That's why you see headlines such as "We Are The New Invincibles" over arrogant ramblings by John Terry and read claims from Gary Neville that Manchester United can go through the campaign unbeaten. The players should know better. But nowhere is in more need of a hearty dose of reality than Everton Football Club. No sooner had they finished 4th in May, principally due to a wretched league season from Liverpool, than David Moyes was pronouncing his team the "New Kings of Merseyside." You'd have thought such delusions wouldn't last beyond a certain night in Istanbul, but no. Amidst many ludicrous statements pre-season (see also Peter Kenyon's "small group of one"), I thought that of Moyes topped the lot "our target is to finish higher than last season." I think he should see a doctor. And then I read the programme for Everton's opening fixture against Manchester United. It advertised "superb Everton v Villarreal t-shirts (with Everton in Europe logo and map on the back). We have some left in stock and they are a 'must wear' item for supporters on the night of the 2nd leg, wherever you are in the world." I wouldn't rush to buy one at £8.99; they'll be on sale at a fraction of that price in just over a week's time. They talk big at Everton; the truth is harsher. All summer, there have been boasts of how much they have to spend, the players they're after and who wants to go to Goodison. I even saw James Beattie interviewed about how 'new signing' Milan Baros would fit in alongside him. Sorry, have I missed something? Instead, the reality is that Everton have bought Per Kroldrup, a defender I hadn't heard of, and two players clearly discarded by their clubs, Simon Davies and Phil Neville. Isn't it so that no one really wanted to join a team who'd performed beyond their wildest dreams for one season and are now likely to drop back where they'd come from? Not even Craig Bellamy who changed his mind after talking to the manager. Nice one, Dave. Moyes should be dampening expectations, not feeding them. He should be relieved that he managed to persuade his best players, Tim Cahill and Mikel Arteta to stay on. He should be telling supporters to think of a top 10 finish at best, not speaking of third place or better. Everton supporters can dream but they're not fools. Moyes says his team didn't get what they deserved against Villarreal. Most everyone else knows better. The Spanish side controlled the game without having to exert themselves. It will require a miracle to reach the group stages. You see, their eyes were so dazzled by the headlights they failed to comprehend they hadn't actually qualified for the Champions League, only for a qualifying round. And Manchester United, apart from one superb save by Edwin Van Der Sar, were in easy command of Saturday's game. Most dishearteningly for advocates of the so-called 'School of Science', when Everton failed to trouble Fergie's men they quickly resorted to their standard 'Plan B', bring on Duncan Ferguson and lump the ball forward. Inevitably, it failed. Evertonians may dream on but trust me; normal service has resumed at Goodison Park.
