last tour for forseeable future as well

Party poopers ... why couldn't they shrink them even?

I can officially confirm that I know something you don't. That's official.

is that official?

I don't understand why you think you can predict a future that never happened. I said we would have 'struggled' under Ferguson, not that he wouldn't have kept us up, and I certainly wasn't wishing to start posing hypothetical 'what if' scenarios. My point was, and is, that other factors prevent a manger from working at their best. Those factors would have played a greater role than anything else during our relegation season, to the extent that, if you believe the official line by the club, we could ony have afforded the Dutch duo anyway. The hypothetical scenario in which Pearson was appointed and supported financially didn't and (apparently) couldn't have existed anyway so, as I also said, this conjecture is an absolute waste of time. To look at Pearson's progress now at another club and to try and draw parallels between his current situation and what he may have done at Saints is ridiculous and serves no purpose whatsoever.

That's something else he said himself in the timeout interview on the subject as well! His suggestion that the queen's pussy is haunted may have been a little closer to the mark actually!

10th nov release. i've tried to put link to prices here but don't know if it'll work as i had to enter a code to get to that page. basically, it's similar priced contracts with extra minutes. You get 'unlimited' web use and wifi but it's actually limited to 750mb per month.

I didn't say that though did I? Try reading it again if you have the patience.

Yes, that's exactly what I said. I was going to give you a dignified response since 80% of your post seemed to warrant it. However, your facetious, and simultaneously hilarious, ending means I'd rather go and clean the bathroom.

I can certainly see what he means when he complains about the BBC giving the panellists pictures of Addlington and co getting off the plance and asking them to come up with something funny about it. Realistically, what are you going to come up with?

Bring it on.

lol ... very funny though. Actually, Boyle made a good point about the comments when he said ... ... and since left Mock the Week as he felt it had got boring and that he was going through the motions.

Said "that, on account of her boyfriend being 'really attractive', she must be 'very dirty'."

Ah ... just found some further info here Rather confusing in terms of working out if these are 'new' comments but it appears he said "that the Olympic swimming champion resembled "someone who's looking at themselves in the back of a spoon"."

I keep reading the fallout surrounding Frankie Boyle's comments about Rebecca Adlington on Mock the Week and yet I can't remember what he's actually supposed to have said. She really seems to be milking it so I wonder if anyone can shed any further light on the subject. Apparently, "Panellist Frankie Boyle's remarks about the Olympic champion were "humiliating" and "risked offending the audience""

With jokes like that, time spent at sea must simply fly by. ;-)

If you look around the internet, lordswood is spoken about on quite a few websites amongst the mountain biking fraternity. Many people seem to have claimed to built a trail or obstacle up there at some point, but I think the general opinion is that the uni mountain biking club played a large part in it. They've certainly considered the area their local stamping ground in recent years anyway and seem to head up there fairly often. I must admit, I've not gone up there myself, although plenty of my friends have used it. When I ride, I prefer to cover some distance as opposed to just playing around on jumps etc, but I may take my wife up there soon to help her get used to her bike again.

quite right sadoldgit

Cor ... you never know

I'm not getting at you on a personal level, it's just that every time Pearson passes a milestone with leicister, we have to put up with similar posts asking "why did we let him go". My opinion is that his success with leiciester doesn't make any difference, we had no choice and he would have failed at saints under the circumstances anwyay. Ultimatey, it's in the past and we're better off concentrating on the here and now.

So by your logic, Ferguson could have got a bunch of legless individuals to keep Saints in the Champ? That's the point I'm making ... other factors meant we would never have had a competitive team, so to lay our fate entirely at the departure of Pearson is irrational. FWIW, it's also pure conjecture as we shan't be turning the clocks back soon and you're better off getting behind the current team at St Marys when Brighton visit.

It was an over reaction on a grand scale though. From what my research has told me, the guy that provoked it is a member of the public who happens to 'follow' fry and fry 'follows' him. At some point this morning, the guy posted something like"i like stephen fry but some of his tweets are a bit boring". Fry retorted something like, "well yours don't cause me to expel bodily fluids either". The member of the public then said " well I must try harder to extract fluids in future" and then Fry started throing his toys out of his pram. Subsequently, Fry posted tweets to say he was quitting and blocked the other guy so the other guy couldn't then apologise even though he was getting flack by other twitter users for apparently provoking Fry. Are some taking thins too seriously or what?

So it seems that this sort of thing isn't confined to TSW... linky

it's true and some of us were saying so last week. However, there are some on here who are too ignorant to see that a system of play can still come in for criticism even if you win a particular game!

The load times are a pain. I've installed it to the hard drive which improves it a bit but it's still annoying to me. Troulbe is as well, because I got my xbox some time ago, I only have the 20gb hard drive and with all the Forza 3 stuff installed, I think I've used over 10gb already. Add to that the random system fils that always have to be saved on the hard drive, and I essentially don't have any significant space left. I've no intention of replacing the console and Microsoft's pricing on the official hard drives seems to be a little 'keen'. However, if publishers are going to keep putting out releases such as Forza 3 which use a large chunk of disc space, some thought needs to be given as to how gamers are going to be able to get round the issue as it essentially means I can only play one game for any period of time, e.g. I don't have the space to keep hold of multiple save game files across many other games. Rather worryingly, it perhaps rears the question again of whether Microsoft was right to stick with a DVD drive instead of bluray or HDDVD. If Forza 3 had fitted on one disk there would have been no need to install 5.8 gb worth of additional content in the first place!
