  1. Speed: The black guy in the convertible who gets his car 'commisioned' to chase the bus. He talks jive, says 'huuuu shit!' a lot and is cringeworthy in the stereotyping and general unfunniness in an otherwise excellent action movie.

     

    Agree with this, he also makes an appearance in the second film too, when he gets his boat nicked at the end. Although lets not pretend there was anything great about that film.

  2. Did anybody else watch him on Graham Norton last night? I thought he was made to look like a cunt by Norton and Billy Crystal and actually felt a bit sorry for him.

     

    Norton basically asked him a question and as Bishop's talking, Crystal's looking at him as though he's sitting next to a piece of shit. Norton then asks 'can you understand anything he's saying?' and Crystal just starts shaking his head going 'no, no'. Every time the fella opened his mouth, Crystal would just stare at him with a bit of a disdainful look like he was from another planet.

     

    Reminded me of going to America and having everybody go 'what?' after literally everything you've said. Incredibly annoying.

     

    I thought Hugh Jackman came across well, but completely agree, Crystal was being a prick and rude. Clearly did not consider Bishop famous enough to warrant engaging him in actual conversation. I think Norton set him up a bit initially, but was fine after that.

     

    I agree with previous comments though, Bishop seems like a decent sort regardless of his ability to make you laugh

  3. I was talking about Bolivia today as it happens. My son's teacher is from there.

     

    Amazing geographical features, lovely food and the women are incredible. Its not very easy to get to and is surrounded by the more popular Peru, Argentina and Brasil, so not necessarily packed with tourists either.

     

    Although I did catch food poisoning there from eating undercooked cow's intestine. Made me do projectile green sloppy poos, but didn't tarnish my memory at all.

     

    If your lad's teacher is a woman, then he's a lucky little fucker

  4. I bet you any fucking money most of the people on this website have seen Scholes play a lot more than Xavi or Zidane have.

     

    Zidane and Xavi also have the distinct advantage of having shared a pitch with him on multiple occasions. If you are happy to put the opinion of people who have watched MOTD a load of times, over the opinions of two of the greatest midfielders ever, then that's your choice.

     

    I think you are wrong though. Scholes has been a fucking brilliant player, its just a massive shame it was for them

  5. Its just a matter of respect. Im no fan of the England football team despite being English, but find booing the anthem disgraceful. If you dont like it, just shut up and ignore it, no need to boo it.

     

    Football fans as a whole are growing more disrespectful by the year. Evidenced by a minority of Chelsea fans in the semi. I also find it infuriating that whenever a footballing figure dies these days, a stadium of fans is unable to put together a minute's silence now, it has to be a minute applause.

  6. Well done. Saturday was always only going to be about the 96, it was special that a local derby in a huge game was the way it was commemorated this year.

     

    I think its easy enough to draw attention to their bad side and their bitterness. I have mates who have displayed both the good and the bad. A healthy rivalry grows through respect and some dislike from both sides and long may it continue.

     

    The vitriol we've heard from some of them is expected, but yes, fair play to those who have risen above it and taken the time to show their respect. In these days of the monied game and mercenary professional footballer, there is a lot worse out there than them.

  7. I do know Canary Wharf and Canada Water as I used to work round there, and it is shit for pubs in general, shitter for pubs showing footy, and especially shit at the weekends as it is dead. Whilst I have not been to Ruse to see a game, I know of it, and you can get there from Canary Wharf/Canada Water easily on the Jubilee line to London Bridge, then change for the Northern Line to Borough which is one stop. Or you could get off at London Bridge and walk it in no more than 7 or 8 minutes at a guess, just make sure you leave at the Borough High Street exit rather than the mainline station exit.

     

    I live in Canada Water and this man's advice is spot on. Head to London Bridge and walk down to Ruse. If that is packed out, try Roxy Bar and Screen on Borough High Street which has a massive screen and decent beers. You won't find anything in the Canada Water / Canary Wharf area at all

    Was incredibly bored so decided to go on a wiki/google marathon to find this as it would have annoyed me. But I had no hope in hell of working it out. Will remain silent in case somebody gets it though

  9. Well, i expected a few 'funny' answers but i was hoping for a few serious ones as well. & the 'funny' replies aren't that funny really, are they?

     

    There's never been anyone living next door so there's no electricity in there. I'd imagine if they were using a generator i'd hear it running.

     

     

    Not necessarily. A lot of these grow farms are set up in abandoned or derelict houses and the electricity supply is pinched from next door. Some sort of electrical trick where they pull out your wires and hook it up to theirs and hey presto. Basically you get charged for it and its extremely dangerous too. Perhaps check you electricity usage?

  10. Did this last week. I was of the opinion that as a first offence, I wanted to keep my licence clean and for £30 extra thought it was worth it, particularly with insurance ramifications.

     

    The course itself is actually half decent. 3-4 hours of some dude chatting to you as a group. Its not a lecture as such, there is no pass or fail and it didn't come across as condescending. Everyone turns up with glum faces like they are waiting outside the headmaster's office, as you are all there for the same reason.

     

    The guy sat next to me was only doing it because he was on 9 points already and didnt want to lose his licence, so there appears to be no cut off. But as someone has already mentioned, the course is only available once every three years.

     

    Its basically a load of questions on stopping distances, speed limits on various roads etc. The only two ways to fail are to turn up late (they will kick you out) or if you fall asleep. No fitties on my course though. They need to keep your attention for 3-4 hours, so the instructor was quite animated and amiable.

     

    Found myself driving a bit more carefully for a few days afterwards, but quickly returned to my spasticated ways
