Guess the song KRG. I'll start you off with an easy one... (Don't look at the image name!) (no bears allowed).

A friend of mine doesn't believe you dickyhale! Was the "I" at the start of the sentence Freudian?

I can confirm this. A very unfortunate way to find out that you have an octopus allergy, I can tell you.

It's "son and heir..." bear. KRG is the son and heir of a mongrel ***** Whereas I am the son and heir of nothing in particular.

Yeah, Jan Polyveldt Toke. Ex-Dutch footballer turned football coach - renowned for his belief that he could win the Premiership with a Tyro league team. A sort of Dutch anti-Hansen. I did stay in touch, but he's now away for a little spell. Apparently his obsession with "doing it with the youth" led to him being investigated under the terms of the Saville affair. He's now sharing a cell with Role Harris, whiling away his evenings singing "The court of King Caractacus" with a heavy Dutch accent. He was also famous for wearing football boots that looked like enormous Cornish pasties - wide feet you see. He was an Eee Eee fitting in a size 17 (UK). It was like seeing someone standing on a pair of Ginster-sponsored pontoon bridges. Mark Wotte on the other hand has feet like a ballerina.

Yep. Because as Turkish will tell you Toke, men who wear Clarks' shoes know that whilst length is important, choosing the wrong girth can make you very sore. I've always been a Polyveldts (sp?) man myself.

Rickie never tired of Mauricio Pochettino's "pull my finger" gag.

Leighton Baines apparently http:// http://blog.paddypower.com/2013/09/21/gifs-leighton-baines-two-stunning-goals-that-helped-everton-beat-west-ham/?AFF_ID=16562

Mauricio Pochettino's body-popping, moon walk was well received.

Thought Essruu hadn't posted for a while...

Turkish, for the record, and to help you get closure, this is how I scored the bout (4 rounds, 10 point must scoring system): Round one. JBS: "I bought a pasty and didn't like it" Turkish: "Fat people, shouldn't go to football matches" Turkish 10, 9 JBS (Turkish low blow not seen by the Bletcheree) Round two. JBS: "That's not the point, I'm talking about the reduced quality of my pasty" Turkish: "What exactly were you expecting at a football stadium?" Turkish 10, 10 JBS (The Bletcheree scored the round as even) Round three. JBS: "I was expecting the same quality of pasty I had last year." Turkish: "Yes, but, um, what exactly were you expecting, you were at a football match?" Turkish 9, 10 JBS - (JBS lands clean punch with only a half-hearted attempt at a defence from Turkish) Round four. JBS: "Well to answer your question Turkish, I was expecting the quality of my pasty to have at least stayed the same, not reduced. I recognise I was at a football stadium, but I was last year too and the pasty was fine then." Turkish: [Tumbleweed] (Turkish stumbles back to his feet, looking to his corner for help and support from Team Turkish, but none was forthcoming.) Turkish 8, 10 JBS - (The Bletcheree stops the contest as Turkish failed to obey the instruction to protect himself at all times) The winner, and NEW King of the mongboards is John..."Boy"...Saint. So that's how you lost the crown and thirteen years of unbroken mongboard rule Turkish. To be honest, it was a pretty inauspicious way to lose the self-awarded title of King of the Mongboards. A backyard scrap over a snack is no way to lose the belts that you had worked so hard to unify (B-anter, SaintsForever, SaintsWeb, TUI...). Shame. BTW those belts look good on John Boy Saint.

Hmm. That's not how I scored the bout Turkish. You were earnestly arguing with John Boy Saint and he fed you your last mboard supper. Despite being several weight classes below you, John Boy Saint ruined your "..and 'o'." record. I know you're not a troll which is why I read everything you write on here (and I'm a big fan!), and accept it literally. Boy, do you have a downer on the Daily Mail! I read the other day that you hadn't trolled in months, so I 'know' that your views on the "battle of pasty" thread were heartfelt. And if I'm a judge, John Boy Saint debated your head in. But, I accept that you felt you won the contest, so I'm going to review John Boy Saint's "Thriller for his Dinner" thread again, and will score it afresh.

This is getting embarrassing Turkish. Hang up your gloves and retire from the forum, or at least take a break. This is THE second time in a matter of weeks that you've 'lost' on an mboard. First it was John Boy Saint owning your arse on the great pukka pasty thread, and now you're searching contributors' historic posts to score points. Embarrassing man. Let us remember you at your peak; undefeated and brimming with irony and sarcasm. Cancel your membership and go out on your shield.

OK SuperMikey, I think I'm developing a Calexico addiction. Still loving Spiritoso, but Algiers is now pushing it close. Exceptionally good recommendation! My son found my Nick Drake CDs earlier in the year and has become a big fan too. If you like Nick Drake, try some Tom Baxter. I'd heartily recommend "Feather and Stone".

Saw him back in June. Still an excellent guitarist, and whilst a lot of his own material was repetitive, it's mesmerising to watch him play. As KRG says, if he plays some Smiths' tracks the place will really come alive.

Interesting piece from an Apple fan: http://gigaom.com/2013/09/11/what-i-like-and-what-i-dont-like-about-the-new-apple-iphones/ Summary is that he loves the new tech in the 5S, but per pap's comments above, he thinks the 5C is not up to Apple's luxurious standards. He goes on to say that he thinks that Apple's lack of cloud-centric thinking will cause it to lose out to Google. Also a reaction from the markets; which speaks to the point about analysts that someone posted above. Seems that the inability to sign up China mobile for the launch of the 5C, which the market analysts had expected, spooked investors. Shares fell 5% following the announcement of a new flagship product, and a completely new budget phone strategy. That's not good. http://m.bbc.co.uk/news/business-24058630 I'm guessing that the price of the 5C is too steep for emerging markets. But if Apple does sign the deal with China mobile, or enters into similar agreements then all will be rosy. If not then this could be a big blow for Apple.

Hi Gays! This is what I am know bout Sam Douglas and one of the things I am know bout Sam Douglas is that he is very bum friend of Jack Cork.

I have a Google Nexus 10 and am delighted with it. The screen really is excellent. The one criticism of Google devices is that they tend to come without the option of expanding the internal memory. Google does this so you are 'encouraged' to use their cloud services to store the onesandzeroes versions of your real-life things. If you've got more stuff than will fit on the 32GB, then the Sony might be a better bet (assuming it has an SD card capability). I'm not sure if you can buy refurbished units "way down south" Hutch, but I saved myself £80 doing exactly that on eBay. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Google-Nexus-10-10-32-GB-Android-4-2-JellyBean-Wi-Fi-Tablet-Black-/290933226712?pt=UK_iPad_Tablets_eReaders&hash=item43bcf8bcd8 These units are factory refurbished. They are returned to "brand new" condition by Google (Samsung) and you get a three month warranty. Mine arrived in pristine condition and has so far been faultless.

Turkish, come on mate. Don't go all Audley Harrison on me. Take it on the chin.

Toke, I wanted to let you know that this particular image caused me more than a little grief with The Bletchess recently. I use Tapatalk to view this forum on my mobile phone and somehow when I viewed this particular thread Tapatalk managed to save this image on my phone in a folder called remote-image-capture. I might have zoomed in too far...for educational purposes, but I really don't remember telling it to save the image. Anyway, a few days later I was sitting down with the good lady Bletch, reviewing some images of kitchen tiles that I'd taken with my phone camera. Can you guess what happened next? Yes, after the final nauseating combination of kitchen tile combinations, the scene from "the Japanese Hollyoaks" popped up. I then had to answer several questions relating to my apparent fascination with Japanese rape porn. I muttered something about the bloody Saints' forum. I think I got away with it. Thanks for that Toke!

To be fair papster, 13 years was a good run. A great run, some would say. You and I will tell our grandchildren that we 'contributed' to the thread when we saw the champ lose on points. He was Ozymandias Mong of Mongs, and yes, we looked upon his works and despaired. The dynasty is over, the title has passed. The Mong is dead, long live the Mong*. John Boy Saint must now stalk these many threads and spray septic sarcasm amongst his fawning followers. P.S. Love you really Turkish. This place really wouldn't be the same without you. *please forgive my use of that term for 'comic' effect.

I think that if any political damage has been done, it's Cameron that has suffered. In my view it's pretty difficult to damage Miliband's prospects of taking Labour into power. He sort of does that himself most of the time. But let's imagine that this strike from the Franco-US partnership either doesn't happen quickly, or it doesn't stop at a single strike. In the massive press interest that will ensue, how can Cameron express any views on this without himself looking impotent? He'll presumably be supportive, but he'll struggle to deliver that message without the press trying to portray him as wistful and powerless. He'll do well to avoid being depicted as desperately wanting the country to do one thing, but not actually been able to control the foreign policy of the country for which he is supposed to be the head of the executive government. It'll be like Obama and Hollande are on the couch, taking it in turns to give it to Sam Cam, while Dave is sat in the armchair watching, but not wanting to watch, mumbling to himself that he only wished that he could still summon the blood himself. Well, it is to me anyway.
