  1. Bayern Munich play the same formation as us. Their central midfield 2 is usually Lahm and Schweinsteiger both of whom can protect the defence if needed.
  2. Hope he caught the snitch. (This may well make no sense as I have never read or watched Harry Potter).
  3. Never knew that. Must have been his rock god good looks she went for.
  4. What has Dinosaur Jr got to do with this?
  5. Me too. Wish we had two that could.
  6. I didn't think we really had a DM today. They waltzed through for their first goal. Boss result in the end though.
  7. That and a DM in front of them.
  8. Amsterdam is extremely safe. Never had any problems in any state. My mate from Belfast who is also over here was in Barcelona last week. Robbed on the first day.
  9. I know this is the second winter in a row I have not got to wear my big coat and I am a bit pissed off about it.
  10. Christians Against Dinosaurs is indeed boss.
  11. Plaleantologists don't exist now either to be fair.
  12. Flexidisc on the new fanzine then.
  13. I would have been swept out to sea and drowned as Australian life guards on surfboards had probably not been invented back then.
  14. Christians Against Dinosaurs! Hahahaha! Chris Morris would be proud of that.
  15. Castle Grayskull should not be used for where the Mancs play anyway. It is where He-Man lives, not Skeletor.
  16. i prefer this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wMd1GEzHMWo
  17. Might be better looking at who is funding these scientists. I am going to guess it is the likes of Exxon Mobil and Royal Dutch Shell.
  18. The worst I have ever seen Dave do is wear an Iron Maiden Tshirt. Good beer in there. Fun to take people in and then get them to check out Trip Advisor on their phone while he is chatting to you.
  19. I would see if you can update the firmware before replacing it. It may well have new features. If still not happy I would flash a different custom firmware such as WDLXTV. All you need are the files and a USB stick. If that is still not good enough I would get a new Raspberry Pi 2 and stick XBMC on it.
  20. From his mailing list last week Dear All TICKET TOUTS - RUN TO THE HILLS As you may have noticed Stub Hub, Viagogo and E-bay have been touting tickets for the current Room With A Stew Tour at up to £99, a nearly 400% mark-up on seats, many of which are in publicly subsidised venues, the utter bastards. I have contacted Stub Hub and Viagogo about this, they have of course pointed out it is all technically legal, and will not be drawn into discussion about the difference between law and ethics. If you go into Stub Hub's office on Great Portland St you can try and eat as many free sweets off the desk as possible while you argue with the bloke there, even though it's not his fault and he just has to use words like 'platform' over and over again to avoid commenting on anything. The culture secretary Sajid Javid has said the only people that oppose touting are 'chattering middle classes and champagne socialists'. He also wants the arts to be more 'accessible' to justify subsidy. He has not replied to any of my e-mails, and nor has the shadow culture secretary. I oppose touting because I want my shows to be accessible to all, so that everyone can come and hate them as equals, and I cut corners to keep tickets as cheap as venues will allow me to make them (don't play ATG theatres, no ad campaign, Premier Inns etc etc.) I don't see why this is 'champagne socialism', and if it is, I am all for it. Also, let's face it, I don't write £99 shows. That said, I don't think they will shift these mark-ups to my audience anyway. Iron Maiden, who have a giant robot of a monster on their side, are now taking on this issue, God bless them, and I urge you to support them and fill in the forms below. Also, drink their Trooper beer. It is ace. I will not pretend to be a Maiden fan but who cannot like Run To The Hillsand 666? Incidentally, I am adding more dates to some of the sold out shows so there should be no need to buy over the odds tickets from these twats. There won't be another date at Kingston but for god's sake just go into London this Autumn at Leics Sq Theatre rather than pay £99 for the back row of the Rose Theatre on an evasive website. Please spread this around and end this nonsense. Artists shouldn't have to have their tickets sold at higher rates than they want them to be sold at. It is wrong. The Free Market, in this case, can fuck off. MESSAGE ENDS S (I have replicated Iron Maiden's message about this below. If it doesn't display properly, pleaseclick here to read it
  21. Stewart Lee is adding a load more dates to the sold out shows. This means that people who want to see him can purchase tickets at the correct price. It also means the touts will be stuck with a load of tickets.
