Hi, is that Ofcom?

Yeah.

I'm watching a show on Channel 4.

And?

I'm not enjoying it. It's not v.good.

Ok. Thanks for letting us know.

I think I'll save Ofcom some time on this one and just phone up to complain about the quality of both ITV and Channel 4 programming, in one go ...

Yup my RX8 only ever drank the normal ron .

 

Remeber that our fuel has a higher ron than most countries anyway.

 

I do occasionally give my 5litre supercharged V8 a drink of the good stuff, but I've not noticed a lot of difference truth be told. Think the best i can get round here is the Tesco one bizarrely which is 100 I think

That's very true, forgot about that!!

I believe it is 'better' for your engine, but apart from that there isn't a lot of difference. I used it on both the performance engnes I had...

Yep, I don't bother anymore on every fill up, but I do use it when I can based on the fact they do say it is better for the engine. But then, I picked up a new AMG in October and I actually asked the dealer this very question, he said 95 or 97 is fine ... so I'm still erring on the side of "Emperor's new clothes" a little

You may get marginally more MPG, but I think it's a bit of Emperor's New Clothing at play.

When I had my last 350z, BP were then doing an Ultimate 102 - which was ridiculously expensive. All it seemed to do was make my already loud car, louder. I didn't notice more MPG or hidden BHP.

Benefits Street went out as a series at 9pm, right in the middle of the peak time schedule. Immigration Street went out as a one-off at 10pm. 1.4m is very good for 10pm; many shows and series on C4 earlier in peak time can struggle to get that rating. Immigration Street also got an 8.7% share. C4's share generally is around 5.5%-5.8%.

 

At least the advertisers will be happy.

I was going to say that. I watched Benefits Street as nothing else was on and it was 9pm. I didn't (and probably won't ever) watch Immigration Street as it was 10pm and I was in bed.

Are you writing a guide? I assume a % of royalties are headed to SWF posters?

I think she's actually Dear Deirdre from the Sun ...

New question for our male experts:

 

Being asked out by a woman

 

Vs

 

You doing the asking out.

 

Preference?

Anyone waiting for a woman to make the first move needs to man up! Simple as that.

They definitely aren't. And I don't mean that is in 'they are bad' what I mean is they wouldn't get close to being on the bench for the top sides in the world (Mane a possible exception but even that's a stretch). We have possibly two world class players in our squad and even then I'd say only good enough for benching and that's Toby and Schneiderlin.

To be fair, Coxford_Lou did use the word "potential". I agree, they do like they have the potential, but that's why we have them on loan to start with and if they turn out well and sign up, then exciting times.

Yep, the version they put together from the hours of footage at their disposal when they knew the show wouldnt be going ahead.

With such a track-record, can you blame people for being cagey?

EVERYTHING THAT IS WRONG WITH PEOPLE IN THE UK, in one sentence. "Benefits street STARS" ... STARS? FFS.

Thanks for the advice guys, but you misunderstood - none of the outfits would be slutty!! I live in London, not Liverpool! None of my friends could look slutty if they tried! A bit of leg can still look classy!

 

It was more a question of hot vs casual. And if hot, whether boobs or legs.

So in answer to my earlier question, you're looking for something based on sex & looks, not long term?

You can look "hot" in business dress or decent jeans + top etc., doesn't need to be revealing at all - unless of course it's not a long term thing you're after ...

Me too! Send my regards pls

This will be interesting !

I've got one. Do you or have you ever used dating sites, if so what were you looking to get from it ?

Yep, met my wife on one. Also a great way to meet some complete odd balls and get some decent stories along the way, from the sort of people you'd never ever bump into normally.

On behalf of a 'friend' ...

 

First date outfits, where objective isn't a one night stand...

 

Is it better to go for:

 

A) short skirt

B) low top

C) neither of the above, keep it Laura Ashley.

 

?

Depends what you want?

A short-term thing based purely on sex and looks, then go for A+B. If you want something meaningful and lasting then avoid at all costs and just dress normally - nice jeans and a nice top is fine. Not too much make up either.

I don't believe it, that is what it is.

Not hard to find in a Dictionary to back up what you're saying either; http://www.collinsdictionary.com/dictionary/english/mong

There is no such thing as a "curse".

 

In any case every single Premier League game is live on TV around the world.

I don't think I've ever come across anyone as literal as you, ever. FFS.

From the guardians 10 things we learnt article.

 

4) No need for Rodgers to act like an own brand Mourinho

 

It is at times hard to work out what Brendan Rodgers is getting at, or indeed whether he’s really getting at anything at all or just following a template of learned Top Manager Behaviour. Certainly it is not immediately obvious what the point of coming out against Southampton’s match day programme editor after his team’s 2-0 victory at St Mary’s Stadium. For one thing Rodgers was wrong: Adam Lallana and Rickie Lambert were mentioned in the programme on the occasion of their return to the club. And secondly it is obviously none of his business what Southampton choose to put in a programme that was, naturally enough, devoted to current team matters rather than a fawning memorial to the opposition. The world is already full enough of people demanding respect/more respect/some kind of an apology, although in fairness this is perhaps a niche kind of low on that front. Football on the other hand has always been a place of mischief and iconoclasm. This is why we watch it in the first place.

 

For the record Lambert was greeted warmly on his return, Lallana routinely booed in response to the circumstances of his departure, which ended with the player using an England press conference to deny he had threatened to go on strike if Southampton didn’t sell him. And that should be the end of it. There were so many other worthy topics of conversation at the end of this match: Liverpool’s fine current run; Raheem Sterling’s mature sense of menace; Filip Djuricic’s excellent full debut. Instead we got an editorial conference, a needless attitude of offence, and the spectacle of a manager who might have taken a moment to dwell on his own recent successes instead coming on like an own brand Mourinho, seeking out a contrived and unnecessary moment of friction. Barney Ronay

That was quite amusing. No idea what planet Rodgers is on now, but he has certainly caught the "Complete and utter helmet full of self-importance disease" now. It's getting worse. Terminal.

So, been stood at the station since 06.50, 3 cancelled trains in a row, and a 3rd party waiting a meeting I am now going to be over an hour late to...

I went for the 06:54 from my station this morning and noticed that when I got to the platform, my usual train (after the 06:54) was cancelled for seemingly no reason.

Crawled through Wimbledon with no explanation. Arrived at Waterloo 8 minutes late, with no explanation. Got into the office only 5 minutes before I would have done, FFS. Now catching up on Saintsweb and emails, with coffee at the usual time.

JWP is a tough one for me, he is undoubtably a great player, but I do think he needs a bit more bulk - having said that, his barge on Lallana was amusing.

Not good enough. Nothing more to say than that - can't even blame the ref, just not good enough in front of goal. Again. Same as last season really.

Can't be bothered to watch it, why do I want to want to watch a bunch of LFC players talk tripe?

It happens now and then

however, it is happening more and more and their assets are far more aggressive in what they get up to against us.

 

not a great deal we can do about it any more

And that is more concerning now our defences have been cut in half, cut in half again and cut some more.

(What a waste of our £5 subs)

He buys nice curry with your money ...

(sorry Steve)

What baiting??! Youre not a very good baiter if it's that hard to spot it.

Hmpfh.

I've lost my touch obviously. I was moaning to SteveGrant tonight (in person, over curry) that I'm 39 this year and feeling ancient, obviously losing my touch on trolling too.

And why won't you rise to my baiting? This is very disappointing

No, you are weird, luv.

Come on, man up.
