Probably inappropriate at the moment, but hey when isn't it? Nominate your 5. Rev. Ian Paisley Silvio Berlusconi Alex Ferguson Duke of Edinburgh Ian Brady

Kelvin is Club Captain and Adam is Team Captain, usually if the Club Captain is on the pitch they're captain.

My sister-in-law had £16k removed from her bank after my brother had used a few different sites to watch Saints, it may be a coincidence but i won't risk it. She got the money back from the bank in the end.

Now you see i know Larry David, Peter Kay and Harry Hill are good at what they do but they don't appeal to me, it must be a taste thing. I like Stewart Lee, Stephen Hughes and Bill Cosby but i also like Jo Brand, Lenny Henry and Micky Flanagan.

Depends on your standards i suppose, his are particularly low; a) Fined two weeks wages for drunkenly mocking American tourists in Heathrow Airport in the aftermath of the terrorist attacks of 9/11. b) Charged with assault and affray after a confrontation with a nightclub bouncer in January 2002, Terry was suspended from England duty and subsequently missed out on the 2002 World Cup. He was later cleared of wounding with intent to cause grievous bodily harm, unlawful wounding, possessing a bottle as an offensive weapon and affray. c) In February 2002 Terry was caught on CCTV urinating into a beer glass and dropping it on the floor of an Essex nightclub. d)Fined £60 for parking his Bentley in a disabled bay. e) Sent off against Tottenham in November 2006 at White Hart Lane, and accused of racially abusing Ledley King. Questioned the integrity of referee Graham Poll, and was later fined £10,000 for inappropriate conduct. f) Before marrying Toni Poole in 2007, admitted to cheating on his partner up to eight times. Jenny Barker, 17, claims that Terry cheated on Poole with her in a public car park. g) Investigated by Chelsea and the FA for reportedly accepting a £10,000 bribe to show a reporter around the London club’s training ground without permission in 2009. Not on there own a demonstration of a bad person but added up together they make him naive at best and a complete moron at worst.

As usual you are wrong, name me a funny comedian?
-
I'm getting lost in the willy-waving but would just like to add that Woody Allen started as a stand-up comic for what its worth, anyone who thinks Jo Brand isn't funny is just wrong and would again repeat does anyone listen to the WTF podcast by Marc Maron.

I think that when millions of pounds are on the line most people will happily sell their craft down the river. As an aside do you listen to the Marc Maron podcast?

The sites are not 100% reliable or up to date. I'd go with the DVLA records over the AA, use the link below to check with the DVLA. DVLA Vehicle check

Ridiculous statement by the OP, there have been loads of players who played too much when they were young having their careers cut short due to burn out and injury, the club has a duty to protect the players especially the nippers.

The Official Unofficial Glastonbury 2014 thread.

In reality unless you're some kind of masochist you're not going to see more than 4 or 5 bands in a day unless they're all on one stage. The logistics of moving around on a site where the roads between the stages are crammed means its just not possible. However the beauty of Glastonbury is that if like the others have said you choose 3 or 4 bands you don't want to miss and take your time between them you'll experience more going on around the stages and over the railway line that really sums the place up, unless you've been to 2 or 3 you'll never get your head around the site. -
It really doesn't matter what the UK thinks, the rest of the world barely know Manchester, Birmingham or Leeds.

Internal flights in Oz. Advice required.

I know that now but try getting any information out of the hire car people at 9.30pm on Christmas Eve with a queue behind you, as it was i got to the last manned toll tunnel and had a massive nosebleed whilst in the queue with nothing around to clear it up with, cue blood smeared arms and hands and slightly worried looking cashier! -

It's about 10-12 hours by car, i flew into Sydney on Christmas Eve, landed at 9pm picked up my hire car and was on the road by 10pm. I stopped about 5 times for food, naps and toilet breaks and was at my friends just outside Brisbane by 11am Christmas Day. The Australian police are anal about speeding and will use any means necessary to catch you, luckily they seemed to resting over the Christmas Eve/Christmas Day time i was driving. There are plenty of rest stops with toilets and most drive-thru's and motorway services stay open on Christmas Day. Car hire can be cheap if pre-booked and fuel is alot less than in the UK. Be aware that there are unmanned tolls in Sydney and the main bridge into Brisbane and you'll need to register by phone and pay, the car hire companies will charge you a premium on your card if you forget. I bought a SatNav chip off eBay here for less than £20 it only went wrong once and it was obvious so no problem. The journey is doable in a day but taking 2 or 3 would make it easier and more enjoyable. -
why does Osvaldo not turn up for 90% of most games?
swannymere replied to Mr X's topic in The Saints
Modern day Le Tissier? I'm sure Osvaldo will come good, it does take time for some players to adapt to the PL, i can think of Giroud of the top of my head. -
Cheers, i quite like this, probably sound better at 3am after a few beers or something medicinal.
-
The Sanderson and St.Martins Lane hotels are both very good and quite central.
-
For those expecting instant results, Giroud was **** at the Arsenal last season, this season not so much.
-
Think of the number of 18 year old prodigy's that have come to nothing over the years, if anyone was stupid enough to offer £30M then we would be just as stupid not to take it.

Looks bad, 3 crew on board probably dead plus i would imagine people in the pub. RIP Police Helicopter Crash

There are free (for a small donation) lock-ups run by various charities on site, they're excellent, when i used to go as a punter/mong/track-blocker they were a godsend. I only started using them after all my clothes were stolen on the Thursday of my second ever festival, i smelt quite ripe by the Monday
