My cousin plays for The Leftfooters in the gay football league, although I would describe his particular style of play as 'dainty', I would definitely not wish to get in the way of their centre forwards tackles, he is a brute. http://www.leftfooters.org.uk/ They play all over the country and as one would expect are a great bunch of lads. My cousin helped to organise the Gay World Cup last year up at Latent Orient's ground. The chap on the right is a Millwall fan, DO NOT MESS WITH HIM. FACT

Best ad ever is the old castlemain XXXX one with Hogan on Deal beach, 2 blokes bait digging, Hogan asks what they're doing and one replies 'digging the channel tunnel haha'. Hogan points to Deal pier and says 'hope it goes further than yer bridge' sips beer and walks away. Genius.

think so, but I think it's one where i'd have to pay the postage, I can check but it's probably something simple. I must say though that I am impressed that you don't think you are up to it, jolly decent and honest of you s-s (THE s-s)

Bugger it, i'm away for this one. Do your stuff Itchen boys (and that woman behind me with the really shrill voice).

Good ad and memorable a sone of the all time greats, I still wouldn't eat that **** though badger. Potatoes are almost perfect as they are.

There are so many ads that you recognise the theme, you get the so called 'joke' yet if asked what the product being pitched was you wouldn;t have the foggiest. What a waste of time and money by self important execs. I am actually quite proud of my batgain hunting skills and in spite of the good marketing campaigns that do hit the spot I am still not a brand name whore. It may add 5 minutes to the total shopping experience but the joy of saving loads at the till gets me quite turgid sometimes. I have been known to take my receipts to work to show off my amazing skill. My dad suggested a tag line for an ad when i was a kid which has stuck with me and maybe one day i'll give them a bell, it was: "Don't wonder how to wander, get a Honda!" Brilliant (and mine)

IIRC the idea for that ad was STOLEN from some chap who pitched it a few months earlier to some young upstart who dismissed it then went and sold it to his bosses. Maybe someone else remembers the story?

If you want something to drink hot toddys or whisky and ginger ale to then the Tull deliver every time with their unique style imo. Here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yibz4xAejos

can i put you boys to the test? My wife's Inspiron doesn't recognise the webcam. I installed the Dell webcam app to no avail, also (I think) I dl'ed the latest drivers too. A couple of times the webcam apperad in the device manger but in general it is not there. I suspect a loose contact but how much would you each quote me to guarantee fixing it? I am willing to deliver as long as it can be done while I wait (coffee and Bourbon Creams MUST be provided at no extra cost). I will accept sealed bids by PM and will in return allow you to use my endorsement in all future literature and advertising at no cost to yourselves. can't say fairer than that. NB Any 'suspect' images found on said laptop MUST be reported to me instantly.

Blimey sl, when I was just 16 a I stole a pool cue from that pub, was it called that back then though? I used to walk through from the army estate to the town centre. do you know if they are family friendly and am I still barred? Do you know the Posrtland Vase, now that is a pub for a 'lock-in', if you are brave enough. I was wondering where away fans drink nowadays actually, as in my youth they would all be marched straight down Balmoral Road but I was thinking the Livvy might be a good one for when I come down for the saints game as I'll me mingling with some local Pikeys for that one!

We'll be down for Boxing Day luco, taking my Grandson to watch The Gills beat Brentford. She lives near to Luton Arches so I may even make the trek over The Lines and doff my cap to that educational edifice that is 'Upbury Manor' where I spent so many hapy hours fighting and watching others scrapping in the bottom field (an almost weekly event iirc).

My daughter lives in Chatham, the kids were sleddding down the hills (roads) the other day on pieces of cardboard, faily safe as noone can get their cars up or down the hils and those already parked daren't move them. I grew up in Medway and swear the snow up there is more deeper, softer and more people get out and enjoy it. Even today we went to Oxford and some villages up there have got loads still, brilliant. One of my fave ever New Years Eve's was spent driving sown to Deal in a snow storm wearing fancy dress, the drifts were over-hanging the Dover - Deal road by at least a yard and it was truly magical. we arrived with about half an hour to spare before midnight and most people had decided against fancy dress! My dear old Mum had dressed as a belly dancer!!! We got snowed in, my old escort froze as I never used to put antifreeze in it. a greta place to be stranded mind.

Mac lightbulbs are the bestest lightbulbs, get one and you will never ever want a boring old virus infested standard lightbulb ever again. FACT ESSRU

I'd see it the other way around tbh ES, I would welcome his beer and give hime one 'in the wood' (a phrase you don't here nearly enough nowadays imo) and wonder why he is different the rest of the year, that is what puzzles me, why are people unhappy at other times there must be a reason. Maybe he's lonely? having said that there are one or two people who I have crossed in my time that I would not **** on if they were on fire, well maybe I would **** on them but share a beer? Nah. I know a chap whos wife passed away between Christmas and New Year, he absolutely hates it, says he even hates hearing the word "Christmas". I can understand this. Another chap I know lost his wife just before Christmas and his attitude is the complete oppposite, he visits and is by welcomed family, he talks fondly of how he loved her but she has not left him as he has feels lucky to have shared so many Christmases with her before she went, he says that she is still alive in his heart. I understand him too. I enjoy it when it finally arrives properly and feel that the niceness goes once people start getting back to the humdrum and rush-rush of 'normal' life. Having said that I would hate to be lonley at Christmas.

Tell me when to stop .... hth

Thanks Deppo, thanks, a very happy christmas to you, I mean that mate. Joking aside, for me personally this has been the ****test year of my life and I personally welcome Christmas as a new beginning and a bright future is on the horizon. Things are looking up and Christmas for us this year has gotten right back where it should be, the season of goodwill. xx hamster PS .....................

A bit like sticking your tongue out? Just rude then?

When I wish someone a 'happy christmas' I do actually mean it, even if I don't know them from Adam, what could possibly be wrong with that?

"In November 2007 when he was arrested on suspicion of conspiracy to defraud and false accounting. The High Court ruled that officers who raided Redknapp's home in connection with that inquiry had acted unlawfully. From what I have been told, at the time (2007) am I correct to assume that any evidence collected would have be deemed inadmissable, hence the police had to start from scratch to catch him out? If for example they had found loads of incriminating info on the conputer that they may or may not have taken it would have had to be returned to the accused and disregarded?

Strange how it has come to mean 'F Off' isn't it? What does it actually mean?

If we 'win' the JPT on penalties there will be nowhere left to 'progress' to ergo we WON. A moot point really as some just want to argue the toss for the sake of an argument imo.

Mancinni is good though, but I hope Sparky screwed them good and proper for the diabolical way in which they have behaved. He'll have a nice little wad in his back pocket for his trouble anyway so probably not that miffed and he's a good chance of getting some decent TV deals for the World Cup now. Everyone wins imo.

If you 'walk the walls' you will come to the WestGate behind the DeVere. I think this is the gateway that he left by, there are gouges out of the walls where boats would scrape though. Southampton so undersells itself it beggars belief really. When you think how many thousnads upon thopusands of people walk through the Bargate every week it is amzing t think of the famous people throughout history who have walked them very same steps. A great city.

What Christmas song is your all time favourite? There are some standarsd out there but for me (and mrs hamster ftm) it was is and always will be this beautiful little ditty by Steeleye Span - Gaudete, enjoy: Part of my reasoning is it comes across as a proper religious hymnal song, quite spellbinding, whack the volume up to 11 and listen, really listen to it. PS I also like 'All around My Hat' fwiw.

It's a bit 'samey' imo, as in not enough variation between them nor within the piece. I know nothing though.
