  1. Old time dodgy music hall performers such as magic acts used to stop and bow to the audience to encourage applause in the belief that if they applauded alot then the crowd will think it must have been a good act. The audience were then said to have fallen into the "claptrap". Hence the origin of the term meaning rubbish.

  3. Great scene from a great film
  4. I think Anelka was a very good French player for Liverpool, though ironically, it was a French Manager who decided not to keep him. A big signing such as Ribery would be good when all the talk seems to be of hanging onto existing players. I have faith that Rafa has something up his sleeve.
  5. I'm older and cannot remember it happening. The type of thing Newcastle do but I don't think its Liverpools style.
  6. The prize must go to Bread for managing to be both shit and offensive. Those who thought Carla Lanes work could not get any worse after Butterflies must have been shocked. EDIT: Someone just beat me to it!
  7. Scarlett Johansson - I just can't see it!
  8. The era had some of the worst sitcoms ever seen. Yus My Dear Love thy Neighbour Mind Your Language In Loving Memory Bread ( the most offenive of all )
  9. Why does Mark Bright have to say "for me" with every opinion he gives. Would we think he was talking on behalf of someone else if he didn't?
  10. There are so many to choose from. For its sheer banality, the programme Indoor League has to be a contender for the worst ever. It consisted of the late Yorkshire cricketer, Fred Trueman standing in a pub with a pipe and a pint. The programme would then show people playing pub games like shove ha'penny, skittles or even arm wrestling. It then ended with some home spun Yorkshire wisdom from Fred before saying " Ahl sithee"
  11. Really over rated as a player. He made a career out of running across the pitch in front of his own back four, getting the ball and giving it back to them. I found it annoying when commentators used to praise him for not giving the ball away. I could have passed it 5 yards backwards.
  12. They probably would have made him Pope. Wait a minute.....
  13. The best workout ever [YOUTUBE]<object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oqgr2HvDXlE&hl=en&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oqgr2HvDXlE&hl=en&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>[/YOUTUBE]
  14. If its mainly for commuting, avoid Mountain bikes. The chunky tyres and suspension will make heavy going. Have a look at road bikes or hybrids depending on which riding style you find comfortable. You can get a very decent bike for £500
  15. I wonder which is the best way to treat the BNP. David Cameron said on tv a few days ago that his MEPs would be instructed not to talk to the BNP but to "cold shoulder"them at each opportunity. Does this reduce or enhance their appeal to some people. Would they damage their own cause if freely interviewed? Nick Griffin was interviewed yesterday and asked what he would do if a Pakistani person sought his help. He said he would assist if the person was a British taxpayer. When questioned further, Griffin said he would expect the man to seek advice " from his own" in the first instance and looked uncomfortable. It seems exposing their true beliefs may be better than the cold shoulder.
  16. This is similar to a test I took at a Psychology Dept visiting a university recently. You are told that a serious sexual offence has been committed and given 10 mugshots. You are asked to rate them from 1 to 10, least likely to be guilty to most likely. The result is that with a couple of minor place changes most people have a very similar list based purely on the appearance of the person involved. Apparently, the Victorians were very keen on the idea you can tell a criminal from the way they looked ( deficient gene pool ) or by the shape of their heads!
  17. He's not as green as he is cabbage looking -?????

  19. Blair started well but issues like Iraq and shamboloic immigration controls will alter how he is seen in history. Blair is the better politician but I feel that Brown is a more inherently decent person.
