  1. Pride in what exactly?
  2. Unless, of course, they manage to get Trevor Brooking on the committee deciding their fate. But surely something like that could never happen could it? ;-)
  3. Went to see The Prodigy at Sheffield Arena last week - Truly awesome show. I got a bit bruised down at the front though. Good to hear them do a few oldies from the Experience album as well as the new stuff.
  4. You mean we have a defence? Then where have they been all season up til now?
  5. Why is it, whenever I see this ultimate chav accessory in a car window (usually on Fiat Puntos with pink steering wheel covers and playboy bunny logos on the back) that there is invariably NOT a babe on board and the driver is in fact an 18-stone heifer? False advertising surely????
  6. Flavio Briatore has lost the plot... http://www.guardian.co.uk/sport/2009/apr/17/jenson-button-briatore-concrete-post His comments about viewer interest show that he doesn't have a clue. I think most people I have spoken to about this year's championship are very happy about the fact that the usual suspects are not running away with the title and that it's the most interesting championship in years. Sorry Flav, you're off your trolley mate.
  7. I should hope so. Looking at the times on the above board, they could hardly be worse.
  8. What? This is a trilogy? I just got hold of Lords of the Bow and was about to start reading it, but I won't bother yet if it's the second part of a trilogy.

    Knowing

    Coincidentally, the only good performance from Cage I have ever seen is the one in a film with your username in its title.
  10. I haven't seen either of those films so I can't comment on them. I don't doubt LDC's abilities as an actor. I recently watched What's Eating Gilbert Grape for the first time and his portrayal of a disabled kid in that (one of his earliest films) is brilliant. In fact, each new film of his I see, the more I appreciate his talents. I just don't like him. But yeah, Keanu Reeves has no redeeming qualities whatsoever. Terrible actor AND a punchable face. Poor guy.
  11. Watched Blood Diamond lastnight Normally I can't stand Leonardo Di Caprio. He has the most punchable face on earth and he completely ruined The Beach (although that's not really his fault, more the fault of the director for casting him in the first place) IMO. However, I actually thought he was brilliant in this film as a callous, immoral diamond smuggler. The film shows the horrors of the civil war in Sierra Leone, where children were plucked from their villages by the RUF and forced to fight - all funded by the illegal export of diamonds mined in the area. It's a fast-paced film with really good chemistry between the main characters. Very well scripted and Leo's Zimbabwean accent is spot-on and totally convincing. It's a little bit cheesy in a handful of places, but as Hollywood films go it has a lot of depth and is very engaging. 8/10
  12. I thought it was owned by that mad Israeli spoon bender.
  13. I think you'll find this is the funniest cat video ever... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z3v8BMNdDvo
  14. So if you don't consider photographs to be 'proof', what evidence would you accept as genuine?
  15. I thought there was one at Duxford as well?
  16. To be fair, we've been needing to do that since the mid 80s! Given that our track record against Watford over the last few years has been shocking, ordinarily I would take that result. But I don't think it will be enough in the long run. We need wins, and to get only a point from two games against lower opposition in the space of 3 days is not enough.
  17. Hope this helps
  18. I didn't see the Panorama program lastnight as I had already watched something on BBC2 about refugees escaping from North Korea, and the C4 Dispatches program about the war in afghanistan, I had had my fill of asian troubles for the night. But there was a very interesting and eye-opening multi-page piece in the Independent's Life pullout today which I started reading at lunchtime. You can read the article here
  19. You're assuming that useage of drugs would increase dramatically if they were suddenly made legal, but there is no evidence to suggest that would be the case. Indeed, when cannabis was de-classified, useage actually went down instead of up.
  20. Are all politicians tee-total then?
  21. In all honesty, it doesn't matter a toss what the other teams do now. They could all lose their remaining games 10-0 and we still wouldn't get above them. 3-1 down at home to the worst team in the division, with so much riding on today's game as well. If the players can't motivate themselves for this one they don't deserve to be playing in the CCC. Simple as that.
  22. Absolutely. I went to Silverstone in 2004 and all the british fans were wearing BAR Honda caps and cheering wildly for Jenson as he actually had a half decent car under him that season and looked like he might get a result. I then went in 2007 (Hamilton's first season) and I was so angry when they did a run-through of the drivers on the giant screens. When Hamilton came up there was a massive roar from the crowd (who this time were all wearing Maclaren caps and shirts) and when it showed Jenson he hardly even got a ripple of applause. I was utterly ashamed, but not in the least surprised by this sickening dislpay of fickleness. FWIW I was happy for Hamilton because it was good to see a brit winning the title, but I will be grinning from ear to ear if Button beats him this season.
  23. Nothing to do with the diffuser actually, their rear wing has been deemed 'too flexible' and therefore illegal. http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/motorsport/formula_one/7969641.stm
  24. Check out this video and then have a lok at the website http://www.playingforchange.com
  25. I got ham but I'm not a hamster!
