  1. Selby was boss, but the adulation that goes to O'Sullivan is beyond ridiculous at times.

    If he's winning it's "Oh yes, that just what we expect from the genius, best player ever to pick up a stick etc. etc."

    If he's not winning, it's "Oh dear, that's just not the standard we expect from the genius, best player ever to pick up a stick etc. etc."

    His opponents just don't get a look in.

    During that final the other night, when he started to come back at Selby they cut to the studio where Parrott and Davis started talking about how amazing O'Sullivan was and how he was at that point playing the best snooker anyone had ever played, ever.

     

    Then he got beat.

  2. Anyone else listening to the True Geordie?

    He does a bit of the unmentionable, but mostly it's just a big fat beardie fucker telling sweary knobbing tales and taking the piss out of his soft Southern mate. Funny as fuck, the latest one where he talks about his previous life as a deep sea diver had me in tears.

    I'm not a fan of the ones where he brings a guest on, it's better with just the two of them IMO. The format reminds me a bit of the now-defunct Henry Rollins podcast (Henry and Heidi - also highly recommended) where the 'straight man' mostly acts as a foil for the main one telling funny stories.

  3. I voted yes, although I agree it's stupidly bullish but what the hell. Let's enjoy how great we are. We're more than capable and we're actually missing a lot of good chances.

    Was saying to my lad the other day that someone is going to get a serious bumming from us this season. After the 6-1 he asked me if that was it, and I couldn't help thinking it wasn't.

  4. Loveless by My Bloody Valentine is far better than anything else they released.

    Isn't Anything was great.

    The couple of EPs before Isn't Anything - You Made Me Realise and Feed Me With Your Kiss - are an astonishing collection of songs as well. I bought You Made Me Realise twice as I wore my first copy out.

  5. I remember our chemistry teacher doing that potassium in water thing.

    We all egged him on, putting in bigger and bigger pieces until one overly-massive chunk exploded across the room, leaving purple trails everywhere in the air.

    I still remember the expression on his face; he definitely thought he'd maimed someone. Apart from burning holes in a couple of pencil cases, he got away with it.
