I find it as mildly amusing as I did when it was posted on the previous page. On other notes - I finally got the 'Here's the twenty I owe you' joke and I realise that is also mildly amusing. Previously I'd thought it was some kind of Beckett-esque situalationist thing ie not funny. What do you call an eskimo with a banana in each ear? Anything you like, as he (or she) wont be able to her you (should you wish to insult an indigenous person for wanting to push fruit into their ears)

I finished it shortly after my last post. I felt dirty, corned beef dirty. I knew it would happen, it was stupid to think I could ever resist. At least I had cucumber and chilli sauce with it, in a sandwich. What's the point in buying this stuff if I just wolf it down in one go? I don't know about retribution, but it could be something to do with its consistency being similar to baby food, and this applies to blognaise sauce also. Hmmmm.... Dog food, baby food, where am I going with this?

I have a thing with Corned Beef. Once I open the tin, I go into a sort of trance and eat the entire tin. It's the same with bolognaise, but I'm ok with most other stuff - Pringles for instance. My preliminary self analysis on this makes me think of the cheap dog food we used to feed the Dog when I was a teenager. Now this made me hurl, but was quite similar looking to corned beef. When we used Prime, however, I was quite tempted to try it, despite it not looking at all like corned beef. Where do I go with this? I've had a tin sat in the cupboard for two days, calling to me. I've opened it now and half's gone. I've put the rest in the fridge, but I know what's going to happen. I loved that dog.

I 'did ' this book and failed. Went for hypnosis and it worked a charmfor a year. He also did a book about beating booze which my brother bought into - he has given up fags and booze by applying techniques in this book. I remain addicted to fags and booze, but still have an open mind that I can live without them!

I do like the 'rebelliousness' of smoking, and I have had more interesting chats with people in the smoking area than in the 'regular'pub. With all the facts available, people who smoke are mostly f-ups and possibly slightly interesting for it. As time goes by, I guess equating addiction with nicotine and being 'interesting' will become less interesting. I'm much more likely to meet a (easy) bird in the smokers area than the regular pub.

But are you building a case for smoking, pap? There isn't one really is there? (He says blowing ash off the keyboard)

Thanks for your replies, may have been a little OTT when talking about executing... In any case, having grown up in the 'post mandatory, but very popular' smoking days, I supppose I am informed by the 'civil liberties' arguments that smokers would put forward for being able to continue smoking (albeit outside, in a special room etc). I'm thinking that even the civil liberties argument doesn't wash anymore - if no-one smoked smoking wouldn't be missed.

I was only thinking that if we woke up tomorrow, and nobody in the world smoked, or tobacco had never been invented, would the world be a worse place? I don't think so. Conversely, what are the benefits of tobacco?

I'd like a poll on this. Only two answers - Yes and no. I sem to remember 25% of UK citizens smoke, is this the case on SWF? I'm a heavy smoker, and should give up. If you have a cigarette more than once a year then you are a smoker. Consider: If every smoker was executed (after fair warning) would the world be a worse place? My opinion is that immediate execution of smokers (given fair warning) would make the world a better place

For a big man, and he gets a lot of assists. ;-)

There's a formula to staying up - strong defence, big target man and hoofball. We all know we need to have this option if necessary, but as has been mentioned before, let us play our way and we can do the hoofball when we can get some heavy defenders in Jan. Meantimes, it really is a footballing 'experiment'which we can enjoy - no losers, some losses, everyone wins! Go Saints!

Bletch, a word in your shell-like. I know you know I have the ultimate respect for you as a wordsmith, a detached libertarian, a genius even. Thing is, your post frequency has increased in direct proportion to Tokyo/Bear/Deppo's postings. I think you're being led into a trap. You're subconsciously trying to seek their approbation, yet you think that you're their boss. A few months ago you would drop an apposite comment occasionally, now you're whoring yourself all over the place. Why? Because they're sucking you in, that's why!! Beware Bletch!

We're going to lose every game and get relegated. Dont answer this post coz i will be dead!

Ho-hum, at least it means I can go to bed. Don't forget they conceded 8 againts united.

frick

I only watched one Rugby League game before moving to Oz, now I love it! There is a lot of skill as well as immense physicality. I have watched NFL and Baseball once or twice, but can't get into them, if I lived in the States, maybe I would. Strangely, I like listening to Tennis and cricket on the radio, with good commentators, more than watching it - but if the taters start chatting amongst themselves without report on the action, I get really ****ed off.

Exactly, muff was effectively forbidden in my day - maybe one second glimpse at 2am on a Saturday. Those lucky kids today with access to youporn. We had to make do with second han mags found in the bushes outside school.

There was a lot of rotten arrogant football fans and people in the 80s (Thatcher anyone?), maybe too simplistic. It really was encouraged to be selfish and look after yourself before anyone else. Problem is, from what I recall they still only represented a minority of football fans, and I don't suppose many if any of this type were victims. From what I understand, this skanky 'charge the gates' kind of behaviour still shouldn't have lead to the deaths. Most clubs had/have these types of fans, and I suppose we've got a class A drug to thank that this behaviour doesn't go on so much nowadays - still could return?

Don't know when this was made, but it is on at the moment here. We've had a lingering shot of a mangy clunge and a pair of huge breasts. It's 9pm!! Thankfully we didn't get to see the prostate cancer bloke's japs eye 0 Oh, hold on, there's a camera going up his arse. Blimey!

My kids were wondering why there wasn't a minute's silence on the 9th - reasonable considering date formats. They have been made very aware at school of this atrocity and it was horrific to watch (Iwas off sick in the UK at the time and remember seeing everything happen). Well, it has already turned into many movies. It was a very significant event, but I said to my son that as many people die in e.g. Somalia on a regular basis, didn't have the figures to hand, but wanted to let him know that s**** happens in this world.

Go Andy - only have radio commentary. What a great British player (unless of course he screws it up and becomes Scottish again).

Well it will be for at least 6 weeks I suppose. But when he does come back, it will be like having .. a recently injured player who hasn't played or trained for a long time.

Welll, just goes to show hownews flows slow down here! Or maybe I'm just stupid

It's not another Sunday game is it - doh! (apologies I live in Australia)

A rare night I might enjoy watching football by my team. But unable to ffind a stream. Any suggestions?
