Patrick Bateman

Lee Mack is a good shout, forgot about him - I saw him live in Hull Uni in, er, 1997 I think - my memory is obviously hazy, but I do remember he was brilliant. Still amuses me now on TV. Edit (I like him even more now); Upon leaving school, Mack worked in a bingo hall and as a stable boy. After working at the stable of racehorse trainer Ginger McCain in Southport for three days, he asked if he could ride one of the horses, to which the trainer agreed. Without realising, Mack then chose Red Rum as the first horse he'd ever ridden.[2][6] Mack then became a blue coat for Pontins at Hemsby near Great Yarmouth.[2] After appearing on stage drunk one night, and calling an audience member a "c*nt", he was sacked from the Hemsby team, and did six months at Pontins in Morecambe.[2]

That's hilarious!! You'll Neeeeeever Win, again.

Oh, one comedian I used to hate, with a passion is Jo Brand. But when she appears on panel shows now, she's actually quite funny.

Was that a tasty press rumour that I missed, or have you just made it up?

Boring FA Cup all round so far this year, shame.

Hopefully it's not just a piece of lazy (easy?) journalism and if true, we should be busting the bank to get him to sign up.

No, because he doesn't want to play for us ...

Agree with this - that bridge has been a safety hazard for years and has got worse. Also agree that it needs repainting! Given it runs over a railway line, I'm not sure why they couldn't just make it considerably wider, but I'm sure there's a reason!?

I actually think a lot of the best comedians aren't on TV. I used to go to comedy clubs pretty much every week and have seen some very very funny comedians live that will never make it on TV for whatever reason, I have also seen some horrendous dross too. I don't get the BBC's love for Miranda and Mrs Brown's Boys as shows and I can't stand most "TV comedians". I can't stand most of them, including Stewart Lee; just boring political drivel. I do like Sean Lock though, him, Peter Kay and Jack Dee are the funniest big names I've seen live, by a long way. Oh and Greg Davies is worthy of a mention too as a stand-up - just not his weird TV shows.

Come on, get a grip, it's hardly the worst thing to do in the world, is it?

When was the first shopping receipt from? If it was before the signs are flipped, then bingo.

Let's be honest here, he was hardly an unknown. Koeman already knew of him (and wanted him), plus he was also a transfer target for other teams long before he joined Saints. Having said that, I honestly think this "black box" seems to be more about personality profiling than finding new players. We seem to be looking for a certain type of player who is a team player, will grow/develop further and so on.

Hopefully we'll get him back earlier then, so potentially good news on current form.

Exactly "Saintsweb mongboard" overlaps with bellends. So all Skates are bellends as are a portion of the posters on here.

In a Venn representation of bellend and Skate, the 'Skate circle' sits wholly within the 'bellend circle'.

To be fair, he's not being pedantic, your post was odd - as was the other above. "I would rather we lost than had a reply" You are saying that you want your football team to lose. That's not being pedantic, it's what you said.

Well as we released him in 2009 (which I didn't know), don't think he'll be rushing back!?

That's what I've got on - at least I can see something. Didn't realise we'd released Tyrone Mings as a teenager!?

There is nothing that comes close to running and weight loss. In 2009, I ran 5 times a week, ate a cooked breakfast at work, had a meal at work, had a meal at home and still lost 3 stone in about 4/5 months. I was only running 5-10km each time, but it made a huge difference. I don't have that diet any more as I eat more healthily, but thanks to commuting more (working in London) and not running, that 3 stone is back on.

Giggs surely wins that "award" (if one existed) hands down. Even if just based on playing longevity; add in trophies won and there is no competition.

Surely they could throw up a steel construction behind one of the goals with an extra couple of thousand seats in, pretty quickly? (i.e. from the moment they know about promotion)

Jesus ...

Your best post, ever!
