pap

stu0x's first point (of which he was very proud, I'm sure) was a facile attempt at muck spreading. If you're taking that into serious consideration, that's up to you. Don't make the mistake of thinking others have "misunderstood". How much was there to get wrong, FFS?

I addressed that specific point far more comprehensively than you did. Your two posts amount to:- 1) Two wrongs make a right 2) Ad hominem personal attacks How much more will you do in the service of the Nonce Defence League?

I have heard that we might be in for Jonathan Tah http://bleacherreport.com/articles/1949387-scouting-report-how-great-is-hamburg-prodigy-jonathan-tah Rated as one of the best young CBs around. Liverpool were sniffing around in May. This rumour comes via a mate who knows someone working at the club. Incidentally, my mate doesn't think we'll be able to pull it off. Seems exactly like the type of player we'd go for, though.

Do you have to pay to be a member of the Nonce Defence League or is it free? Pathetic.

He looks like he'll need to avoid the succulent Indian meals.

Small story to share. Three of our clan were departing the Pyramid stage. We'd had a top day, but were just done with bands. The small matter of the camping chairs remained. ms pap couldn't be arsed carrying them about anymore, so she sent me on a mission to find a trio of willing recipients. Found three teenagers sprawled over plastic sheets, and told them I noticed they were on the floor, that we had every intention of chucking our chairs, but before we did, would they like them? Turns out these kids were Russian, and very grateful recipients they were too. As we weaved our way out of the crowd, ms pap and Juvy Unit #2 observed the two Russian girls doing an excited up and down squeaky dance spectacular. Gave them a rosy glow. As we made our way to Cabaret, we speculated that those camping chairs might make it back to Moscow, enshrined and forever venerated. However, Juvy Unit #1 assures me that everything was burnt during Kasabian.

My most knowledgeable Saints supporting mate has been banging on about Tadic since the 28th, when most eyes were on Pelle. It's an interesting signing; far less of a gamble than Lovren and Osvaldo, both known to have attitude issues up-front. Could act as a lightning rod for other signings, particularly from the Eredivisie - but I'm sure those in the game are aware of his talent. Excellent signing. The sales might not have ended, but its encouraging seeing the sort of player we're going for and (once again, depressed peeps!) landing him. I'm confident we can sign replacements now that the dam has burst.

He is NOT unanimously ridiculed. Unanimous means "complete harmony and accord", not mean "mob of bullying reactionaries that attempt to speak for everyone". Look it up. http://www.tfd.com/unanimous

Good lad, but you're in the minority. If the numbers are anything to go by, bald headed fat bastard seems to be the thing all these middle aged fellas are going for. If it doesn't look like someone has inflated an airbag, smeared it in glue and rolled it in pubes, you're doing it wrong apparently.

Nah, it wasn't. Chased her for a bit, too. She wasn't interested at first, but pepped up when I got a haircut. "Paul, now that you have changed your hair, will you change your personality?" I wasn't very interested after that. Filed under "nice looking girls I never want to f**k".

As a former fat bastard, one of the highlights is seeing all the people that'd knock your weight become fat bastards themselves. Gets harder to keep it off at 40, chaps. I'm sure all the people having a pop at Alps weight are going to be fúcking stunners in their 50s.

Grabbing the mike and gettin' some action CB and Alps gonna end up in traction Both them ho's are on the list Fo' a cheering up session and an exorcist (Word, etc)

Was at a party at Technical College once. If I'm honest, I had no expectation of it being any good whatsoever. However, it did finally look in danger of getting going. Just as things were reaching critical mass, a Malaysian student took it upon herself to turn off all the music and ask everyone if they wanted to be mature for five minutes. This reminds me of that.

Indeed he is, to the extent where my mate with the surname Walker still twitches whenever people refer to him as "Roy". One lad called him "Roy Walker" all night. I think he's scarred for life, but yep, defo a testament to the original's legendary status.

Someone put weed in your feed, Goatboy?

How many other deals do you track from start to finish?

Independent foreign policy for limbs and/or bodily appendages is a bad idea, especially for men. We're not especially imaginative, and what may start out as a holistic attempt to let every bit of you live life to the fullest, the reality is your díck will take over, possibly costing £££'s in alimony / trips to VD clinic.

Yeah, yeah - someone else with "Dummy" on shág rotation. Bet you own a Morcheeba album too.

I remember an excellent letter in the Viz which was at odds with Roy Walker's own catchphrase, "Say what you see". The letter writer wanted to know why the answer wasn't always "a smug Irish cúnt". (PS it's not my joke. I love the Irish almost as much as my kneecaps)

I love my Nexus 5, probably more than I ever did my iPhone. Gorgeous screen on a mid-range chassis. It has survived longer than my daughter's iPhone 5s.

Oddly enough, that might be the one thing we don't have to worry about. Even without these revelations, the West has been utterly hypocritical on a number of issues. We'll moan the new legislation in Russia preventing kids from being taught about homosexual lifestyles, yet we'll say nowt about the likes of Saudi Arabia or the UAE, where being gay can land you the death penalty. There's the exact same hypocrisy over women's rights, and a somewhat larger one with Israel - the most active rogue state on the planet. All of these problems have been around for decades; we just managed to exacerbate it by adding pre-emptive corporatist wars to our repetoire. Returning to the topic at hand, long-term, revelations can only be a good thing. What's better? A society that shines a light on its darkest recesses, or one unable to deal with its own problems?

One of the best rock albums of the 1980s. Think it might have been my first concept album too. I'm not a huge fan of Extreme in general. They came across like a "pop man"'s Faith No More when they first landed, got even more dubious when they started unleashing syrupy ballads unto this world. However, that whole album is very good.

Some of the people I've seen named would constitute a serious national security risk. My landlady over in NI, a councillor herself for decades, reckons that in politics, paedophilia is the only thing that would finish a career on its own. A politician can have an affair, take drugs, have dodgy expenses or be involved in corruption. With suitable levels of public contrition, these things can be overcome. Regardless of what buctootim says about it being less serious back in the day, if you mess with kids you're finished, and rightly so. I can remember two cases of people abusing kids growing up, one on the Flower Roads and one over in Aldermoor. Both occurred in the late '80s / early '90s; the sense of shock and revulsion was palpable. However, in both cases, the perpetrators were convicted and sent down. The kids involved got some measure of justice. Those that have been preyed on by members of the establishment have no such chance. I don't think that the incidence of paedophiles within the establishment is necessarily higher than those you might find on a council estate, but those that have power can subvert it to avoid justice in ways that your sink estate nonce cannot. Further, the scandal in the Catholic church shows us that oftentimes, there is tacit institutional support in facilitating or covering up wrongdoing. I'll make the point again. Leverage is more important than justice. Ted Heath is credited with introducing the "dirt book", a means of keeping compromised politicians in line. Heath himself has been named as a regular visitor to Haut de la Garenne, and has been accused of much, much more. It's a good job he never made any important decisions, eh? http://spotlightonabuse.wordpress.com/2013/05/11/the-dirt-book-how-the-sexual-abuse-of-children-is-used-for-political-gain/ I hope that May's enquiries shed some light on the issue, but honestly, I've no faith in seeing any big names brought to justice. The implications are too broad and the establishment, as constituted, would be finished. Given it's capacity for self-preservation, I cannot see it committing seppuku via the medium of the robust investigation that the issue requires.

This is either a cheat or the most deserving entry on here. Extreme - Rise 'n Shine - Am I ever going to change? - Who cares? It's a cheat because it's purpose built as a 3 song run, the last part of their III Sides to Every Story. It's also the best thing they ever did.
