Talking of great scenes, this one's a f#cking classic: [YOUTUBE]RJeli0GbDho[/YOUTUBE] Wonder how long it took them to learn their lines?

I often have the dream where I'm protecting a place (generally a house) with my family or friends inside. I'm a gun-toting, Rambo-type, action-hero (pretty close to my real life persona) and generally spend the dreams kicking alien/mutant/zombie tail. They're great fun and I always wake up from them feeling good, even the time when things got hairy and I was in a utility room, trying to jab this massive alien in his bulbous eye with two mop handles tied together.

"Stretch, Emu. You can reach it!"

I think the original concept has been misunderstood, due to a missing hyphen. Is this not actually a dummy for men, made from wood?

Wahey! Just got back from the Mestalla. Fantastic match and a great atmosphere. Mata, Pablo and Banega had an amazing game. Villareal hardly had a look in apart from one spooned effort over the bar towards the end of the first half that should have gone in. Was loving the song when Valencia were four-nil up, to the tune of Guantanemera, "Una manita, queremos una manita" (the Spanish equivalent of "we want five"). Then, when Soldado obliged the whole stadium was bouncing, giving the paltry Villareal turn-out our very own favourite five finger salute, which is always a pleasure. Mexican waves-a-plenty to boot. Only downside was a bastardised version of our old Torres song but this was more than made up for by my particular favourite from the Los Che songbook, sung to the tune of Mike Oldfield's Moonlight Shadow; bizarre.

(beer + rum) + (bong or hash cakes) = hilarity + dancing in the kitchen.

Letter? Ooh, 'ark at 'er. I can't even open my mail after straining several muscles in an uzi-lifting related mishap. I thought about calling 911 but we all know how that one goes. Still, don't know why I'm complaining to you; it's not like I picture you giving a damn. *throws giant clock over one shoulder and flounces off*

Really, I don't know what this thread is coming to.

With regards the original topic, the closest I got to see them playing live was in Glastonbury in 1995. They blew it out so Supergrass came in by helicopter at the last minute and played their set wearing Ian Brown masks.

Reni's just a beautiful, beautiful drummer and, as you say, Rob, they're all just fantastically talented musicians. In one old shared flat I lived in, every night we'd rock in from the pub and want to carry on drinking, the Live in Blackpool video would come out without fail. The thing I love about Reni is that he drums with his whole body, totally into it and totally loving it. A massively influential drummer that made up beats so many groups are still copying now (in particular that little shuffling off beat that the Verve, to name but one, took full advantage of). Nothing does my head in more* than seeing a drummer, tapping away from the wrist, back straight, grinning like a dick at the camera; what are you doing it for? Where's the fun? I was going to say that Reni made the group but won't; they were just one of those bands where every element was just exactly right. *exaggeration for internet purposes

No massive loss: Iranian Olympics boycott threat due to “racist” logo Tue, 1 Mar 2011 | By Branwell Johnson The controversial London 2012 Olympics logo has drawn more fire, this time from Iran’s national Olympic committee, which claims it is “racist” and spells out the word “Zion”. The committee is threatening to boycott the London Olympics unless the logo is withdrawn and claims that it is a symbol for Israel, a perceived enemy of the country. The Iranians have written to the International Olympic Committee and it is reported that the letter states “Unfortunately, we all are witnessing that the upcoming Olympics … faces a serious challenge, definitely spawned out of some people’s racist spirit. “The use of the word Zion by the designer of Olympics logo …. in the emblem of the Olympic Games 2012 is a very revolting act.” The IOC has stated:”The London 2012 logo represents the figure 2012, nothing else.” The London Organising Committee of the Olympic Games and Paralympic Games says that it plans no chnage to the logo and adds:”The London 2012 logo represents the year 2012, nothing else. It was launched in 2007 following testing and consultation, we are surprised that this complaint has been made now.” The logo, designed by Wolff Olins, was unveiled in 2007 and was heavily criticised by branding and design experts.

With regards the original question in the title, where's the '... or Dragon Screeeeameeeeer' option? That's what I'd vote for.

The first time I watched these, I went through series one to four at a fair pace, then had to wait for series five. I waited till it was all out so I wouldn't have to watch one episode a week, then I just devoured it and didn't really appreciate it thoroughly (I even thought the plot was a bit far-fetched/unbelievable, would you believe?). Numbers one to four blew me away I but was left, incorrectly I have since learnt, with a slightly anti-climatic feeling after five. I've just been through the whole lot again, in the space of about a month, finishing a couple of weeks back and, during McNulty's montage at the end, I just gawped blissfully at the telly, soaking in the genius that I'd just been through, sadly admitting that it was coming to an end. After, I went out for a tab and just sat there with a stupid grin on my face in some weird, post-coitalesque happiness, having witnessed sheer television-series porn. I can't wait to watch it again. I'll leave it a couple of years so that my shite brain forgets loads again and then give another month of my life to Baltimore's 'finest'. Best. Telly. Ever.

It's times like these I wish the internet had never been invented.

Just watching Spain now. I must admit, I couldn't help smiling when the Czechs scored. Such a smug team with all the ticky tacky shite at times. They know how to hold on to the ball but they can be amazingly frustrating at times.

I'm about to watch Vertigo, but I'll be back to this thread in the near future. Short answer to the original question: yes, indeedy.

Dude, you're beginning to sound like a little girl with this 'I'll do what I want' shite. The point is the whole backing and forthing of Rafa's achievements/failings has been done to death on this forum and it's all getting rather tired. It doesn't mean it shouldn't be discussed but the whole establishing sides thing was making this place, and our club as a whole, a massive bag of shite, hence people now politely requesting that it be stopped.

Linford Cristie's 'double-headers' got nuttin' on you.

Or like SD and his party: start on the left of centre but drift over to the right to get a sniff of the action.

Si pulling people up for typos? The world's gawn mad.

'Pass the pound'? A few of them in the first video have decided to hang on to a few of them instead. Thought I heard McManaman's hamstring tear from here. *feels good*

I still don't. Am I missing out? Also, is Sheen dead yet?

I normally like my weak-ass rep distribution to be a personal, private affair but I shall make an exception here. Cheers, Robbie.

edit - can anyone point me in the direction of the thread ripping Rawk's effort please? I must have missed that one.
