The support today was magnificent!!

Jade Goody was an ordinary woman who revelled in her ignorance and who had very few redeeming features and didn`t add anything to our quality of life whatsoever - BUT, she was used and abused by the very people who brought her to our notice - the Media. When she first turned up in BB, the media took great pleasure in celebrating her "stupidity" making her a figure of fun. During CBB that same media turned her into a figure of hate due to her percieved racsism.Since her illness and subsequent death, they have turned her into a Mother Teresa type figure and in last weeks Sunday Papers there were 8 page and even one 12 page tributes to her. Her price for living her life in the spotlight was millions of pounds. Well done to her for playing the system and being able to leave her children looked after, but this whole sorry saga says more about the media that we have and what modern life has become than it does about Jade Goody.

He also apparently is going to have a helicopter and a submarine!! Where is he getting his money from?? Gun running? Drug smuggling?? Selling his (and Big Ears) body?? Questions should asked!!! -
Noddy - Environmental Terrorist!

Sorry. I meant to put a after it. But you are quite right! -
I see in todays papers that Noddy is returning to TV. He has been up-dated and instead of his little red and yellow car he will be driving a little red and yellow "monster" truck or 4x4. Can we start a book on how soon someone from the Green lobby comes up with the serious opinion that Noddy is setting a bad example to young people?

How exactly is your view more balanced? Virtually nobody agrees with you, so your views are 180 degrees opposed to everyone elses. That is not balanced. Balanced is somewhere around 90 degrees. You are stating the opposite to wind everyone up. You, sir, are a WUM. If you are Sundance, Flashman et al, you should be ashamed of yourself. We have enough to worry about without your atagonistic nonsense.

Only around their heads.

Kind of Ex-Saints type team I believe.

Apparently managing Aston Villa Old Stars!

It`s the fans fault.

They usually cast Brits as baddies though.

Are you American?

Of course he will. Don`t forget it is all the fans fault.
-
So he should be. He has World Class Skills.

I am hoping that we don`t hear from Mike Wilde ever again!

Gardening forum or Bingo related chat anyone?

Too many consortiums for Mr Fry (and us)?

You know this how?? -
Now I quite like Leon Crouch and I quite like Rupert Lowe. But which is best? Only one way to find out.............. THAT would be worth watching!

Er... have you checked the date of Exit`s post?:confused:

Rupert's still talking.. prepare to be surprised
miserableoldgit replied to Summers's topic in The Saints
This reminds me of when I was at school in the 60`s. You either liked The Beatles or The Stones - you weren`t expected/allowed to like them both! Well I did like them both and I am able to appreciate what both Bates AND McMenemy did for our club. Perhaps this concept is too difficult to understand. -
I am sure Hans would enjoy that! I have never seen a ghost (as far as I am aware) but I did have a "paranormal" experience a few years ago, so I am very open minded about these things.

I actually agree with him about Ted Bates,but you can appreciate what Lawrie did for the for the club as well. To dismiss what he did as a relegation, (this is a bit like saying The Beatles were crap because "Love Me Do" didn`t get to No. 1), a lucky cup win and signing a few fading stars is at best naive - at worst sheer stupidity. Bates and McMenemy were the two best managers that this club has ever had or ever liable to have. -

miserableoldgit replied to Summers's topic in The Saints
We were a Second Division side when we won the Cup (in case you`re not sure). Kevin Keegan (Current European Footballer of the Year), Peter Osgood, Peter Shilton, Dave Watson etc were all fading stars were they. You are either a WUM or have selective memory. -
If he thought that, I would HAVE expected him, as Chairman, to have taken measures to make that outcome less likely. If he genuinely thought that we had our strongest squad ever, then it makes his position as football guru untenable.
-
And Rupert said at the beginning of the relegation season that the squad was the strongest we ever had. Do you think that he really believed that or was he deluding himself?
