Case of premature ejaculation, Bobby? Happens after a certain age, I'm told

The Guardian's pre-election analysis. http://www.theguardian.com/news/datablog/2014/may/19/forecasting-european-election-everything-you-need-to-know Headlines:-

It'd be remiss of me not to mention the return of 24, or Jack Bauer's Power Hour as it is known in the trade. This series pours scorn on something I've often said - "you could never do a show like 24 in the UK", because they've gone and done a series of 24 in the UK. Mercifully, they're actually on location, which means that when accents are swapped, it's the likes of Colin Salmon adopting his best 'murican instead of our colonial cousins trying to yam their way their way through "how now, brown cow". It stacks up okay, but we certainly haven't seen some of the whizz-bang that accompanied some of the seasons set in the US. CTU is swapped out for a UK CIA station and, well, other locations. Plot-wise, it seems very much like similar seasons. Grave threat to the life of the President, world in peril. Interestingly, the "hot-button" political issues the show is pushing is the use of drones. 24 has long been my hawkish guilty pleasure, so it'll be interesting to see how the show-runners develop the concept. Can't help feeling like this season needs to step up. A lot of it feels like a re-tread; 24 in London can't just be a location change. Episode 4 lands this week. (btw, look out for Stephen Fry as PM!)

Inclined to agree. Shock departures would indicate someone people will know about, surely?

Jesus reckons he's god's gift, by some accounts.

Cortese hasn't actually left St Mary's. He's been hammock-camping in the rafters since January. Poortvliet has been there since the Championship relegation season. They've both been living on a diet of pigeons and discarded pies. This'll just be the announcement that they've found them, I reckon.

Elisa in cat-suit, with bonus side-game. Guess which one is the director's wife.

"I've got your fúcking number, son", he says, to everyone at Man Utd.

Alan Nixon is normally on the money with things Saints. Today could be interesting.

In football, Adam Lallana's move to Liverpool looks increasingly likely after the talented young striker discovered that the city is the home to Sayers the Bakers. Adam has shockingly claimed "It's nice to have an alternative from Greggs", according sources close to the England international. There has been no comment from Southampton Chairman Ralph Krueger on this crucial development.

What's really nice about Elisa is that she seems like she's a little bit peeved at something the whole time. I'm not sure whether it's the pouting, or the forty-a-day voice. I do know I'll be getting some interesting Google adverts for the next few weeks

I'm sure she'd qualify under any points system.

I'm not a UKIP supporter.

More like an opportunity to retract certain statements and say soz, but always difficult to know what the eye of the beholder will gaze upon.

Hello hello hello. What's all this then? As I said in the other thread, don't see anything now or then that really justifies pulling Tokes up on grass charges.

This is a bit like Buffy The Vampire Slayer. Whenever one (thread) slayer dies; another is activated from a huge pool of potentials. Somehow, I doubt The Professor is as fit as Elisa Dushku though.

I may have interceded on his behalf

Now joint first.

It'll be blamed on Tokyo-Saint within a year.

Fritzl alert.

Actually, I think you can thank nuclear weapons and NATO for that. The EU was around to profit after the former Soviet and satellite states willingly signed their sovereignty away, but maintaining the peace? Nah, and I think we're starting to see the exact opposite in Ukraine. What the EU has actually done is put people under many different nationalities and viewpoints under one undemocratic yoke, whether it makes sense or not. Take the worst anti-Polish rant you've ever heard in Southampton, and I'll find you a more extreme one from somewhere else in the EU. My Latvian housemate hated black people, Russians and the Poles. Didn't see anything wrong in any of it ("Polish peoples. They are not nice peoples."). Repeatedly used the n-word to describe black people, despite being told it wasn't good for use here. Peace is more an achievement of Oppenheimer, those who worked on The Manhattan Project, and the resulting Cold War than the efforts of the EU.

If there's anyone fantasising here, it's you. You think the purpose of the PMs was a threat? That's fantastic. I sent the PMs to people who knew the score, just to let them know I wasn't blagging. So this perceived "threat" that you've made up is nothing of the sort. The purpose of my post was to give you fair warning that progressing down this path leaves you at the mercy of being chief clown in a massive in-joke. So far, you're performing admirably. Please; carry on. Wear bells this time, Verbalmort

Ah, He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named returns. Please continue with your sparkling line of gangster mockery. One small caveat; I PM'ed a couple of posters back in the day when this first came up. That's why only idiots like Barry Sanchez actually tried the "ooh, pap knows gangsters" thing afterwards. You were saying...

I deliberately said that house buying is irrelevant. The question is "do you spend money putting a roof over your head" (that covers rent or mortgage). Most of us "choose" to do that, at much greater expense than needs be, even though it isn't really a choice. Shelter is good. Same thing with education. No matter whether igsey decides to go now or go later, at some point he's got a £9000 p.a. set of tuition fees to cover. As it goes, he has chosen to take the risk. Fair play to him, but he has every right to complain. Previous generations bore nothing like the burden he has to, and you could argue that long-term mismanagement of the country's finances has been a huge contributor. Some might say that all this stuff needs to be paid for, and back in the day, it was generally understood that graduates would be able to command much higher sums in the workplace, thereby paying for themselves over their taxpaying lifetimes. Graduates today face much greater competition for jobs and no guarantee of a career. Governments have no guarantee that they'll recoup money spent on grants and tuition, so they've passed the burden onto the student, locking them into the financial system into the bargain. I'd be livid if I were a student. "Yeah, kids. We kinda fúcked everything up. There aren't as many opportunities out there. Good luck! Don't forget to pay your £40K bill"

I liked both Deppo and thestain. However, since there has been nothing further from Tokes' accusers, I move to answer the question asked by the thread. He got 20 infractions.
