    I liked Never The Twain as a kid. And It Ain't Half Hot Mum. And even liked Carry On England. Basically I think Windsor Davies is funny :$

    That was the first episode of a three episode second series. Different story each week. These three are based on the original Conan Doyle Stories 'A Scandal In Bohemia', 'The Hound Of The Baskervilles' and 'The Final Problem'. Or as Moffatt put it, The Woman, The Hound and The Fall.

    Went to see them ('Doug Anthony All Stars') live, back in me student days (early nineties). I expected them to just be what I'd seen on the Channel 4 alternative comedy-type circuit. Comedy songs about shagging inanimate objects and whatnot. Then they dropped this in. Was not expecting that, and it's stuck with me ever since. The song itself is from the Brendan Behan play 'The Quare Fellow', although he didn't write it, his brother did. I think.

    Life On Mars/Ashes To Ashes, if you haven't already seen it. Not really action, more drama and humour.

    Oh, I see. I'll hold fire on the patents then.

    Schweddy Balls? Really? Is this a new line in politician themed flavours? Think I'll copyright Robert Rhubarby, Coffee Annan and The Talibanana. And for the Rock/Pop anthem theme I'm baggsying Stairway To Devon for Led Zep, Born To Rum for Springsteen and Don't Look Back In Mango for Oasis. Lennon's Give Peas A Chance and Madonna's Poppadom Peach need a bit of work though.

    RoboRiise, that is one of the best posts I've ever seen on here. I'm Joe Average, work on the shop floor in the private sector, have never taken unauthorised time off, and do what I have to do, no more, and then go home. I used to be different, 'going the extra mile' as it were, but got demotivated somewhere along the line. It was probably a combination of a succession of lazy and/or incompetent managers, an over-ambitious efficiency drive involving pay cuts and unsustainable workloads (decided by aforementioned lazy and/or incompetent managers), and the sight of the headworkers and whingers getting an easier life than me just by having a brass neck and pulling out the union rulebook. Probably more that last one than anything else, if I'm honest. Then again, I'm 42. When I'm 52 and sick of not being listened to or appreciated by some jumped up 21-year-old, fresh-out-of-uni tit in a suit telling me I'm not doing the job to his satisfaction, then I may start giving up and counting down to retirement by pulling the same shit. Give me a manager who is trying to remove obstacles so I can do my job properly rather than one who is throwing their own in my way to make their life easier and I'll probably start believing in them and going that extra mile again. Just my perspective, like. And Nantwich Girl. If you are for real, which I doubt, I hope you get found out and sacked you thick, incompetent twat. Message ends.

    I haven't looked into this AV stuff yet, but as I understand it this AV system only applies within individual constituencies, doesn't it? And once that is out of the way, then its back to FPTP at the national level. So what would realistically change, exactly? Some marginals swapping hands, which by their definition could have gone either way in the first place? On the face of it, it doesn't seem a big enough step to bother with, as it won't suddenly lead to the minor parties getting their true representation in Parliament. However, even if the above is correct (it's all supposition and guesswork on my part), there is still the idea that the major parties will now have to appeal to those fringe party voters, as a Green, UKIP, BNP, Monster Raving Loony Party or whoever vote is a bonus vote that is there to be picked up by another party. We may find those fringe party issues higher up on the political agenda come manifesto time which is good for them and good for democracy. On balance I'm in favour. The Lib Dems are still shithouses though and I'll make sure they are second-to-bottom of any ballot paper I fill out.

    As an adolescent in the '80's, I feel I have to add: Mathilda May, the space vampire from 'Lifeforce'. Difficult finding a pic from that film that didn't involve gratuitous nudity. Jenny Agutter, 'Logan's Run' Nicola Bryant, Doctor Who

    Got a big comfy leather office chair and Footy Manager 2011 from the folks for Christmas and spent all yesterday playing it with my mate Mr Artois. Woke up this morning, fired it up again to find that half the players hated me and wanted to leave, presumably because of some appalling alcohol-induced managerial decisions. Now I know what it must have been like to be Howard Kendall, though at least I woke up indoors. I think I'll try and blame the neighbours.

    Nah. He's managing an ageing team and it's going downhill. Like at Milan. Like it would be here, with the added complication that we're shit. He's never shown a talent for rebuilding and is exactly what we don't need. IMHO of course.

    That's because they had the potential to be good players for us if it wasn't for cuntishness and injuries. I'll leave you to decide which is which. Keane, Morientes, Speedie, Clough, Saunders, Zenden, Ziege, the list goes on. Players that we hoped would do really well for us but just didn't. Maybe the likes of Dossena and Le Tallec could have been left out for the same reasons. That's different to players who were always shite and we should never have signed. Like Konchesky.
  16. Narsil
    Off the top of my head Kenny: Carter Souness: Kozma, Stewart, Piechnik Evans: Dundee, Leonhardsen, Kvarme, Babb Houllier: Le Tallec, Cheyrou, Diomede, Ferri, Diao Rafa: Josemi, Kromkamp, Nunez, Dossena, Gonzalez, Itandje, Pellegrino, Degen Have all stunk the place out on more than one occasion, so PFK has plenty of competition for the title. He's going the right way about claiming it though.

    Amazing, isn't it? It took Thatcher 5 years to drive the miners to this, and another 5 before she'd pissed off enough of the general public to precipitate the poll tax riots and ultimately her own downfall. These smarmy cunts have managed it in 7 months.

    It's not about individuals, it's about society. I'm an unreserved socialist and I make no apologies for that. Under the last shower of Tory cunts the traditional working class industries were decimated. The idea being that as a country we couldn't compete in these areas with other economies, so we would move to an economy based on high-end services (financial, engineering, scientific research and support etc) that the developing economies would look to us for. IE, foreign investment. That only works if you have a flexible, highly educated and highly available workforce. Making education more expensive = less educated workforce = less attractive to foreign investors = less money in the economy = a bad thing. It will eventually filter down to the non-graduates who will face even more competition for the jobs they want. No-one in this country will win from this in the long term. Apart from the rich manipulative twats who would prefer an army of drones to fight each other for their shitty minimum wage skivvy jobs. Just my opinion like.

    I think Frank Skinner had a point when he suggested that it should be like the Eurovision song contest. The winners host the next tournament. It might see the FA concentrate on the thing that matters to most England fans and that's to seriously try to win the damn thing.

    And that, in a nutshell, is why he is totally and utterly the wrong man for the job. And why he has to go before we hit the transfer window. Even if I believed his 'style' could bring us success, I already know know that the high defensive line, high pressing style can and has, and we have more players that suit it. There's just no need to reinvent the wheel with a stubborn, deluded manager who is ready to be put out to grass. It'll cost millions to build a team in his image, an image which hasn't seen significant success on these shores or in Europe for decades, would only need breaking up again in a couple of years under any new manager and most of all would be utterly soul-destroying to watch when you've only recently seen us regularly outplay European giants in their own back yard. But it's not The Liverpool Way to want the manager out, is it? Depressing and frustrating doesn't even come close.

    Mass Effect 1 & 2. Arkham Asylum (GOTY edition lets you play in slightly iffy 3D!) If you like the Rockstar (GTA) games, then Red Dead Redemption (GTA in the Wild West) is a must and Bully - Scholarship Edition (GTA in school) is also a very worthwhile addition.

    Honestly, I think he's going nowhere. Unfortunately Spurs are a club on the up and unless they hit a wall and start going backwards all of a sudden, there's no reason for him to leave unless he's a greedy impatient cunt. There's no evidence of that so far.

    Whilst redeveloping Anfield seems like the thing to hope for, I'm not convinced that the final results could be as good as a properly done new build could be. For me, its the fans that make the place what it is, not the concrete and metal. I'd worry about the the fact that the Kop would be dwarfed in size and number by three other stands. Left with a fifth of the total capacity. Just seems totally inadequate. A new 60,000 seater with a near-20,000 seater Kop would actually be paying more respect to our tradition than staying put.

    Groundshare Woodison while Anfield is redeveloped, then return the favour while Everton redevelop their pit. Would the fans (ours and theirs) accept that and behave themselves though?
