  1. Die Hard is surely the greatest Christmas film ever. Aside from the Muppets' Christmas Carol, naturally....
  2. To borrow a spectacular phrase I read recently on the good ol' web: "I would drag my ball sack through broken glass and rusty nails just to hear her fart through a walkie talkie"
  3. Online bingo adverts. No, you're not all mates having a fucking bbq on a fucking beach, you're all sat at home on your laptop with a fucking KFC bucket in one hand an a phone in the other making facebook statuses about how shit your life is.
  4. Grima Wormtongue. A man of Rohan warped by the evil voice of Saruman. Finally plucks up the courage to deal with his master before getting taken out himself. The fact that it's Legolas and not Merry as it is in the book slightly annoys me but it was only ever going to end one way for him.
  5. Adverts. Shit fucking adverts. The Werther's Original one: "I remember when I went to my favourite caramel shop..." What the fuck? A caramel shop? There are enough to have a fucking favourite one? And don't get me started on that whispering woman from Secret fucking Escapes.
  6. Hell of a fight that. Kessler managed to drag Froch into an all-out war and Froch didn't shy away. One of my mates text saying Froch had "the best chin in boxing" and after that one-two from Kessler in the eleventh I found it hard to disagree. That would have took many other boxers' heads off. Two absolute warriors battling to a standstill. Awesome stuff.
  7. Any other year, any other player, and Hawkins would win this. O'Sullivan is a fucking machine.
  8. Every time Hawkins pulls out snooker that has seen him depose of two favourites this tournament, O'Sullivan responds with some frankly obscene snooker. He's only operating at 75% in my opinion. Another few gears and he'd be out of sight.
  9. 10-7 to Ronnie. At 7-7 Hawkins looked solid but lost his nerve. O'Sullivan firmly in control now.
  10. Full respect to Hawkins there today, a storming comeback to make the final. Waldon just collapsed. There was a shot on a fairly straightforward red (albeit slightly hampered by having to bridge over another ball) but there was no angle; a straight knock and run on for the pink to middle and he fucked it up completely. He then stood for ages next to the table looking like a beaten man - and it was only 13-12 at that point. Makes no odds about Hawkins though, Ronnie is going to muller him.
  11. No mate that's him; I must've just got my dates/ages wrong. He'd have been about twelve when he was at Argyle in Birkenhead when I was approaching 15/16 around the turn of the millenium. He's 27 now so that fits in terms of where he was in 98/99. Nice lad as well, quiet and unassuming but a bloody demon on the table. Well, least he was down Birko back in the day!
  12. I watch that 147 on YouTube every now and then. Breathtaking stuff. As were the glasses on his opponent.
