  1. They would have probably lost that anyway. Bellevue being a (rather weird) place, next to Seattle, home of many many large US companies!! If you ever go; http://taphousegrill.com/ and http://www.lotno3.com/ are both good
  2. I ordered some copies online for a laugh - tell you what, they don't half work! Can't remember the site I used now, but they were about £1 a pill. Worth a laugh anyway.
  3. Most of them don't need one!! You know the plane from New York to Vegas, Seattle to Chicago, Chicago to Vegas (etc etc) all take about 4 or 5 hours?? I considered moving to Seattle to work, one of the guys said; "Where can you get to within 2 hours of London" - obvious answers; Paris, Dublin, Copenhagen, Berlin, Budapest, Barcelona etc etc etc. "Where can you get to within 2 hours from Seattle" ... nowhere. Well, Vancover, that's it. So whilst it's an amusing stat, most Americans don't need a passport. Christ, the cost of flights alone would stop them - let alone the fact they have less holiday (mostly) than we do and don't have the time ...
  4. Yes, the video is worrying and very funny. But come on, they've obviously picked their targets and gone to some hideous backwater town where people probably only care about their immediate vicinity, not even the rest of the US (as highlighted by some of their answers about states), let alone the rest of the world. I worked for a massive Seattle based company. Without question, everyone in that company over there was totally clued up, worked hard and were genuinely intelligent people. Same with the guys I work with now who are NYC based, very very clued up people. My boss is American too now. I bet if you interviewed a load of the cretins I see walking round London, or if you went to Hull you'd get similar answers. When I was at Hull Uni, one of the blokes on my course who was from Hull didn't know where f**king Rotherham was!!!! So no, I don't agree that "Americans are stupid", but yes, it's a very amusing video and well put together.
  5. He sounds hilarious - we have to sign him!
  6. I honestly couldn't care less who monitors what I do - they can listen to every breathing word I say (or type) for all I care! And if you're silly enough to slag off your employer on any forum (no matter what that forum is) then tough.
  7. To be honest, who cares and why? If my boring life is interesting to someone sat in a bunker in deepest USA then; "Hi, hope your doughnuts and coffee are going down well. Have a nice day" Seriously ... I don't get why people really care? The majority of us are fairly boring, law-abiding people, so what's the concern.
  8. No, you utter, utter helmet. Signings are interesting, yes, but we'll hear of them when they sign. Kit, not interesting, unless you're 11. Get on with some work and wait for the start of the season.

  10. Shame, I was hoping you'd know that too, just to complete the picture
  11. FAO The9; Please can I have information on whether there is a barcode, if so, what the barcode number is and also, what are the hex values of the colours used? Thank you.
  12. To be fair though, doesn't that mirror all [modern] football fans and to a certain extent, the players and management now as well??
  13. I'd forgotten about him ... didn't this forum tell us he's amazing?
  14. I know ... but hey, it's "interest free" ...
  15. Interest free plan is great. I can't make mid-week matches usually but can do weekend fixtures - so it actually makes a bit of sense to get a season ticket, interest free as the cost wouldn't really be any more. Hmmmmm.
  16. Here is a scenario: Drunk 1: rarrr, lairy, rarrr, nice tits Drunk 2: rarrr, lairy, rarrr, your old man only plays for fakkin' Saints, should find a real man luv Girlfriend of footballer: P*ss off you drunk morons, he's signing for Arsenal for £15m and is worth much more than you Yes. I can see how rumours like that start.
  17. Anyone got any links to newspapers from last summer? I'm always amused to see how badly they guessed - QPR being a good one as I seem to remember certain journos predicting they'd be top 6??
  18. I thought it was Sondico? Black kit, with gold stripes, silver arms, white number panels, red shorts and yellow socks.
  19. Oh Nic Corteseeee You're the live of my live, oh Nic Cortese I'd let you **** my wife, oh Nic Cortese
  20. It really doesn't need to be sung, unless you're a simpleton.
  21. Well it gave the utter helmets something to be concerned about for 5 seconds other than relegation!
  22. Guy Whittingham, with Appy as his assistant.
  23. There have been for years.
  24. Human centipede? Shot gun I'm at the front.
  25. Let's face it, he probably is a very good CxO level person, except without an unblemished track record of handling HR; there have been various people who have come and gone in the last couple of years. However it is odd that the owners/investors don't have someone else on the inside to make sure that a) their investment/money is being handled correctly and b) to report back to them on the general well being of the company. I suspect they would like someone else in one of the boardroom/CxO level jobs to act as their sanity check to everything Cortese/the CEO wants to do. Why are we doing that? Is there a cheaper way of doing that? Can we do this more quickly by spending less on this? etc etc etc.
