Wills and Kate - Be Careful!! May Offend!
revolution saint replied to miserableoldgit's topic in The Muppet Show
No idea if this has been posted but made me laugh http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l39uxMe6plc Oh and Kate's dress was rubbish - needs more royal cleavage. -
Sex? I've tried my hand at it.

I liked a lot of his earlier stuff but got a bit bored of the later output. White Blood Cells is still a good album though..... Seriously though, RIP Jack White.

Agree with both of these opinions. When these super injunctions are used to protect privacy and basically just stop gossip getting in the media then I think they're great but not when they protect corporations from covering up what is in the public interest to know. The Corporation book and film are interesting in explaining how corporations use laws that are designed for individuals and worth a look. As for Andrew Marr being a hypocrite then that's only if he's criticised others for using them, or advocated scrapping them. Has he done that before? I haven't checked.

I like Huddersfield and hope they go up (via the play offs obviously!). We were in the same position last season when we were trying to get play offs and they kept winning so maybe it's our turn now. We've had two outstanding turnarounds now with MK Dons and Brighton so hopefully it's our season!

Finished shades of grey yesterday. It was OK and did get better but it took so long to set up the world in which it's created that the story suffered a bit. It is a clever book but not as good as I'd hoped it would be. Snowman was an enjoyable read though.

Very sad. Worst companion has to be Bonnie Langford though?

I'm too busy mourning Marcus to even think about a street party. The very idea of celebrating the marriage of two people I don't know when I'm busy mourning someone else I don't know makes me sick.

Tough start to the season for Richardson and maybe that's affected him but he hasn't impressed me in the way, say, Dickson has on the other side. There's not much between either RB but I'd be happier with Butterfield.

Patrick Wolf - This City, has to be the most annoying song in ages. I absolutely hate it and yet it plays in my head constantly in fact probably the most annoying song since Edwyn Collins "Girl like you". Anyone else got a song stuck in their head that they detest?
-
Shades of grey - Jasper Fforde, only about a quarter in at the moment and have to say it seems a bit clever for it's own good. I'm trusting that it'll get better. After that got Neville Shute's "On the beach" lined up.

When you compare the Morales V Maidana fight last week and the state of Morales eye after the first round and how close he came (in fact many thought he had won) then the decision to stop the fight was a joke. I still think Khan would have won but we'll never know now. FWIW I think Khan may need to move up a weight - even at 140 he's looking too big for that division and could be giving him problems making the weight.
-
I'll confess I thought this was a complete mismatch when it was announced and I still think that Khan will beat McCloskey every day but McCloskey can feel justifiably upset at the decision to stop the fight. Not that I'm complaining - I picked up £66 on a six round Khan win but I was very, very lucky.....

What have you got against deaf people?

I can't remember much about the game (probably a few too many beforehand) except for the Archers having twice it's normal attendance and that goal from Matt. Oh and the pitch invasion. Happy days - I miss the Dell.

Care to give any examples of staff taking the mickey? If you're talking about waste then blame the the imposition of a fake "internal" (and a postcode lottery) market and blame PFI.

Bit of a classic that one. Maybe not on the scale of the 1st Morales V Barrera fight but certainly up there. Great to see Morales roll back the years.

Probably just beginners luck :-) -
Aintree Grand National Meeting 7-9 April

Yep, total mystery to me. What would be your tip then? This twenty quid is burning a hole in my pocket. A few years ago I did have a successful stint on betting on boxing - got a 1st round KO for Calzaghe, Rachman knocking out Lewis and Barrera beating Hamed. I should probably stick with that. -

I know nothing about horses but tend to try and follow a few rules - don't bet on the favourite, go for something with stamina and rarely falls. I went with paddy power as I got £20 free so I've gone for: Ballabriggs - £5 E/W @ 14/1 West End Rocker - £2 E/W @ 33/1 Golden Kite - £3 E/W @ 66/1 That's my initial £20 gone so got the free £20 still to use. Might have a punt on something to win or just stick to football and boxing which I know better. -
Best one was the week after the "WW2 Bomber found on moon" headline where they just showed a picture of the moon and had the headline "WW2 bomber mysteriously vanishes from moon". To be honest I'd rather people read the Sport than The Sun though......at least they didn't pretend they knew what they were talking about.
-
If we're talking about who we want to go down then generally I'd just turn the table on it's head. I'd probably add West Ham though just because their fans are utter tw*ts.

Have you tried the temp bank at Southampton Uni? Normally got a fair bit of work available. Most of the time I did barwork all year round although one summer I combined it with working at Esso which was by far the best paid.
