Frankie Goes To Hollywood - Born to Run

Nutshell

Stick my neck out? Ok, bit of a long shot but I'm going for Skacel signing.

You never watched 'Up the elephant and round the castle" then? Classic ;-) I agree re: Mark Thomas though.

Logic? On this forum? Nah...

Left wing comedian = oxymoron

Interesting. Who told you that....? ;-)

Can't argue with that... ;-)

Beards (of course) :-)

I think that deserves a separate thread IMHO of course

http://www.dailyecho.co.uk/news/2309659.the_return_of_the_beard/ WHAT links Brian Blessed, Rasputin, Captain Birdseye and Saints star Andrew Surman? No not a terrible bar joke, but a mighty beard of course. The Southampton midfielder has decided it's time to join the ranks of these great unshaven men by growing himself a face fringe. So does this now mean that we are on the brink of a beardy comeback? Returning Surman himself thinks the day of the hairy chin is upon us again. "I grew it mainly because I had my hair cut short so I thought I would give it a go as I have never had a beard before," said 21-year-old England under 21 international. "Everyone seems to comment on it but I think it suits me. I did get a bit of stick from the other players when I first turned up in the changing rooms with it. "My missus didn't really like me having stubble before but now it's grown past that stage and is more of a beard she seems to like it. I'm going to keep it for a while but there's a lot of growing to do before I get a proper man beard," he added. The footballer's facial follicles have been welcomed by the Beard Liberation Front, a group that campaigns against hidden prejudice towards people with beards. Its spokesman Keith Flett, 51, said: "There are still plenty of employers who won't employ people if they have a beard so Andrew's beard is a positive step. He should keep his beard for now and see if it has an impact on the field as it could affect air currents. "There are several reasons for growing a beard. "There's the green argument where you can save resources by not shaving. "But the main reason why people do it is because they don't want to spend ten minutes shaving in the morning before they go to work. "But it also changes the shape of people's faces and adds gravitas and wisdom. I'm not sure about Noel Edmonds though."

Good job he won't get any reactions then..... ;-)

Forecast

It's somewhat ironic that the '2+2=5' reactions to these sort of rumours are just as assumptive and reading-between-the-lines as the rumours are in the first place....

Why? This forum would be verging on a ghost town if no rumours (good or bad) were ever posted....most pieces of "information" are rumours in some shape or form (i.e. not heard directly from the horses mouth) There might be something in this, there might not. (more likely the latter). It's no different to having a chin-wag down the pub. That's all.

Went to one hosted by Ooooh Gary Davis with 'special' guest Michael Barrymore.... Bournemouth. c.1984

A conspiracy theorist might suggest that is exactly the sort of article you'd expect to see IF something WAS happening behind the scenes (other than a slight twinge) They would probably cite that The club usually stays silent on these matters when there is genuinely no credence to such a rumour.

As Hypo used to observe...if someone posts a negative rumour they typically get slated. But, if someone posts an equally tenuous, yet positive, rumour they typically get a "hmmm, interesting if true, thanks for posting" reply. It's a funny old game Saint...

I think the OP was suggesting that Lambert had already taken part in the photoshoot (probably done at same session as home kit?) but that his neighbour's company (the printers) received a request to 'airbrush' Lambert from the promo material at the last minute. Who knows.
