When you get them, kittens are adorable, then they become comical, then exciteable until, finally, they become really fuckin stressful. These two now see no limits to where they can go. The curtains are merely a tool to allow them to get to - and walk along - the curtain rod. Things that aren't nailed down are fair game for either knocking off or dragging along. The little fella came downstairs the other day dragging the mat from the bathroom floor behind him. Bear in mind it's probably 5 times his weight. I mean, we love 'em, and everything, but we haven't had a minute's peace in 6 weeks. Elora at about 14 weeks Elmo at about 12 weeks

I know some of you are already aware of the fanzine but, for those who aren't, we release a free-to-download Summer Special every year, which you can get at This Northern Soul. Feel free to help yourselves to 36 pages of badly written, rehashed old tat. I don't know how we've managed to get away with it for so long, frankly.

Fuck him. Grass.

There's really nowt wrong with Charlie's attitude. At Newcastle, he was young and his personality was handled badly by a manager who is like a dinosaur when compared to modern managers. His attitude at Wigan has been fine. We had the hiccup with the offer from Birmingham at last year, but it was the player, himself, who decided to stay at the DW. Most of the transfer talk has been the usual agent-driven mischief. Bear in mind, also, that Charlie scored 9 goals in 34 league appearances last season, from midfield, and in a team that couldn't find its arse with both hands most of the time, let alone the back of the opponents net. Compare this to "world beater" Jack Wilshire, who managed 1 in 37 in a team that challenged for the title for 30 odd games. I'm telling you, £8M is a bargain for a player who is approaching his peak years, and has done it at both club and international level. I've said it before, and I'll say it again, I watched Charlie in 30+ games last year, and he's the best winger in the Premier League.

Serves him right for - A. Feeding his cat pie and chips for every meal and B. Filming himself doing sit-ups. WTF goes through these bellends' minds? Do they wake up and think "I reckon I'll video meself on the free weights today"? I mean, do they have a wank to it at a later date or something? Anyway, they're rhetorical questions, no need to hijack an ace thread.

I need to revise my answer, now I've read the links. The 58mm will be the thread size of the lens that the attachment will fit. That will limit how many lenses you can use it with. It's not a lens in itself, and the description is misleading in that sense. Frankly, avoid it. The reason good filters are expensive is simple. The more glass the light has to get through, the more degraded the image becomes. I'm guessing that a tenner's worth of glass and metal aren't going to improve the quality any.

I can't comment on the laptops, but I do know that they make PCs which are designed to prevent you ever upgrading them yourself, due to the case construction. In other words, probably okay for business customers, but awful for the bloke in the street. For that alone, I wouldn't even consider them.

Well, for a starter, 58mm doesn't even come close to being wide angle. Wide angle is less than 24mm, generally. You also need to understand the crop factor of most consumer/prosumer dSLRs, when buying lenses. Canon, for example, have a crop factor of 1.6x, so you need to multiply all lengths by that number to get a true reflection of what you will see through the eyepiece. I'm a Nikon user, so aren't best placed to give specific advice, but anything like the Nikon 12-24mm or 10.5mm fisheye is great. The 10.5mm isn't useable for everyday use, but I love it. Also, you generally get what you pay for in a lens. Cheap usually means just that. Save your money, do a bit of research and buy a lens that you won't be using as a paperweight in 3 month's time. Again, you'll get what you pay for. Tripods usually show a maximum weight rating. Look for something substantial, say 2.5kg+. Anything less will be unstable in even the lightest wind. For a tenner, you're getting a tenner's worth of materials. Welcome, my friend, to a hobby which will suck money out of your wallet faster than a Playboy Bunny ;) Don't worry, though, if you sometimes get your purchases wrong, we all learn the hard way. That's what ebay's for. I've bought and sold great lenses on ebay, and also sold some truly shite ones.

Ed Balls spoke very eloquently at the recent CWU conference in Bournemouth, pledging Labour's support in the fight against the privatisation of the Royal Mail. he left the hall immediately after, and it was a shame he didn't hear the next speaker, who said that all Labour have to do to stop the privatisation bill in its tracks is to pledge to re-nationalise the RM as soon as they are back in power. That would deter any private investor from planning a buyout of any kind. Labour won't do that, of course, even though the Royal Mail is one of the few institutions that the public at large still want to see as a publicly owned company. The worst thing Labour ever did was to revoke Clause IV. Trouble is, they think it won them the 1997 election, when absolutely anybody who wasn't a Tory could have won a seat without a single policy to their name.

Latest titbit is that we're looking for £8m, but you don't want to pay it, as he only has a year left on his contract. Fuckin Bosman. Belgian cunt.

And worst telly presenter. God giveth etc. Anyway, I can't imagine why nobody has yet mentioned this... [YOUTUBE]9SCyXGiJ-jc[/YOUTUBE]

Strepsils make your tongue numb and then...well, actually, there is no "then". That's all they do, tingly tongues. They do appear, however, to allow the manufacturer to see you coming.

Okay, I'll stick my head above the trench. As A Wigan fan who watched Charlie close on 30 times this year, I've no qualms in saying that, on his day at least, he is the best winger in the Premier League. At times he's unplayable. What undoubtedly helped us towards the end of the year was that teams routinely put two - and sometimes three - players on him, which opened up other areas. He seems to have settled down tremendously in the past two years as well, no doubt benefiting from Bob's man-management skills. One thing though. If Jordan Henderson is worth £20m (which he isn't), and Phil Jones £16m (which, again, he isn't), then Charlie is worth far more. We won't get it, of course. He'll end up going for £12m max. We know we'll lose him, it's just a case of when and for how much.

Regardless of the filling, all jacket spuds have to have a huge dollop of Lurpak's finest, or they are just too dry.

Doesn't even constitute real food.

Also, Winter's revised results are a nonsense. For example, when Spurs beat Wigan 3-0 at the JJB, DeFoe was a mile offside for his first goal, so Winter has revised the result to 2-0. He takes no account of it being the first goal of the game, and therefore changed every kick of the ball from that point on. He couldn't know the effect it would have, of course, but it exposes his revisions for what they are.

From dictionary.com 1865–70, Americanism ; < Pennsylvania German dunke to dip, immerse; compare German tunken, Middle High German dunken, tunken, Old High German thunkōn, dunkōn So, to answer your question, always.

Anything is fair game for dipping in. Oh, and negged for using the work "dunking". This is England, not an episode of Friends.

The whole "tired player" thing is a fuckin embarrassment. These soft cunts want to try getting up for work at 5 in the morning, 6 days a week. Or working permanent nights because they can't afford not to have the shift pay. Or do 12 hour days as routine, simply because their employer has the Sword of Damocles over their desk. Or even just work more than 4 hours a day. They are supposed to be professional athletes FFS. If they think they are hard done to, let them all resign, and we'll see the queue round the block for their jobs. Worse than fuckin MPs for not knowing when they're on a good thing.

For those who need more help with the mental image*, here is a Chow/Rottie Cross... *Or just want the doggie porn

The blonde bird (not the one from Yorkshire) has a look of permanent surprise on her face, like she's just stuck a finger through the bog paper. I probably still would, though.

Ah, the Internet, where even those with absolutely nothing to say can use as many words as they like not to say it.

Fact and fiction, in one sentence. Cheaper than some, you may be, but 48 quid to watch a game of football? It's fuckin scandalous. £25 should be the maximum to watch ANY game of football. The problem, is that high prices soon become the norm, and everyone just sits back and accepts further price hikes. Football will, eventually, implode, and the sooner it happens, the better for everybody. Well, everybody except the mercenaries who necessitate the current ticket prices.

I know it's a different event, and I know that reading about Utd winning the Champions League isn't normal on here, but read this - ...and John Terry Cried It'll soften even the hardest of hearts. It was written by Mike Duff, an FCUM member, and one of the best writers I've ever come across. Read his books "Low Life" and "The Hat Check Boy" for proof. You won't be disappointed.

As I said in a previous post, it isn't about knowing when a goal goes in, it's where it goes from there. It won't stop at the goal line, once Ferguson et al realise they can get more and more decisions checked by a video ref. In rugby league, they already check for offsides and other infringements in the entire move leading up to a disputed try. That'll be next for football, simply because the FA don't know how to stand up to some clubs and their managers. It's a slippery slope, and I'd rather not be on it.
