Won't make a blind bit of difference... did you never see "The Hammerettes" at Upton Park in the 70s? http://t1.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcS61Hivigo-AsxVn-SPrmYAJDSSkzqfdpOVgGxSYHRnFSBMeU1o be kind - they are all someone's granny now

  3. Fine result and Mick should bask in it - and I think Wanyama's price just went up a couple of notches which will make his ultimate departure a little less painful.
  4. @ RD oh 'Bint' yes well naturally... it was the 'moronic attention seeking' bit I didn't remember - though I'm sure I've called her that in my head/out loud in disgust* if nowhere else.
  5. sorry - thought this was another thread about over 50s...

If I have ever been so unkind I will; nod sagely/grin smugly/hang my head in shame* @SJ - I like it now I see it written down - I am already thinking of the new series as Ya-caga-moo (phonetic acronym dept)

I think last time a lot of it was a mix of myopic idealism and absolute sweaty-palmed relief that the old guy and the mad, bad witch didn't get in. Like falling to the ground in teary-eyed gratitude when the good guys arrive at the end of the film and drive the flesh-eating zombies away.
  8. Is anyone really entertained by listening to apprentice singers though? Take them away and train the little sods then unleash them when they don't need a bucket to carry a tune. We like the heightened emotion of the thumbs up/down aspect of the early rounds in whichever show. Personally preferred the old style X-F auditions; the soulless empty room with four people behind a trestle table, a cardboard backdrop, a fat bouncer and relatives listening outside in the corridor*. No backing track, no screaming crowd going into paroxysms of delight when a note is hit, every cracked note and awkward 'dance' move caught in close-up under unforgiving strip lighting. They seemed to get through a lot more 'hopefuls' then too, before the rot set in. *Especially heart-warming when some delusional in-breds burst back into the room yelling "You don't know what yer doin', our Shel's a brilliant singer!"

    US Election

    I'm surprised the Republicans didn't go with the slogan they used when they last won a presidential election - "You don't change horses midstream"
  10. Once David Barnyard is through with it Clattenburg will have threatened to attack Mikel with a burning cross.
  11. Iceland are, along with Greggs sausage rolls, now offering cupcakes at 4 for ?1... the death knell for local mummsies surely? Expect this year's Xmas Fayres to be full of large brick-like Lamingtons and dainty Macaroons and anyone still baking CCs to be roundly mocked.

    US Election

    In a South African township the charity Lifeline is "offering a mobile phone to any resident who manages to capture and submit 60 rodents to the organisation." A deal on election lawyers in Florida has yet to be reached.

  14. Mick Mac Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > Seems a Maxxi is only worth 2 points this week. If > you didn't bother and got 5 you are well in. So what you're saying is 'maxxi' is only worth 2... but "a maxxi" is worth 5... A man could get a complex.* *just not a correct score.
  15. This is an old and well worn scam (had it tried on me back in late 90s)- usually on the lines of "Look, tell you what. You just give me say ?20 up front and you'll be top of the list when we start, we've got so many people wanting their windows done it'd pay you to make sure you get in early...... too right, strike a light, cor blimey guvnor, etc etc"
  16. Around that time I think it was ?5.50/game for the South Bank - with long queues for the metal detectors outside:)
  17. At least at WH you can pay less if it's not a 'top team' (eg ?20+ for Stoke but ?49+ for Chelski) but as you're always seeing a 'top team' at OT maybe that doesn't apply - re getting the tickets surely the best way is to become a member and buy direct? ETA: just checked that out of curiosity and it's ?32 just to join but they don't seem to sell matchday tickets unless you ARE a member (or maybe there are none left by the time non-members are eligible) so if you're only going once then a 'deal' with a ticket agent (as long as it's less than ?32* over the seat price) looks like your best bet. *Unless members are allowed to buy two - then it's only ?16/tkt over the odds of course.
  18. Besides - who can be happy with a mere cup these days? Now if they were called mugcakes*... *Might also help describe those prepared to pay the ED premium for a 2oz mouthful of eggs, sugar, flour and artificial colouring.
  19. You ate cake with a FORK!?? Eeeeeeeh, thas posh.
  20. I have one point. One. Ein. Un. Yek. I think I will even be behind those who have yet to play.... Good point for the Irons tho. :)

  22. "As it was in the beginning..." (aka - 'as you were')
  23. Okay I'll bite. Whilst I see them at every fete, jamboree and fair in the neighbourhood, if someone were to ask me where they could buy an assortment of cupcakes I should open my mouth in a confident and yet scornful manner and yet find myself unable to direct them accordingly. I assume the various bakeries do them, do they? Do the delis too? o? sont les g?teaux de la coupe?

    Paedo weary

    Dammit - I came in and stumbled on this thinking it was a rejig of the raven - "while I pondered paedo weary" - you can see my error. 'Tis some visitor,' I muttered, `tapping at my chamber door - yes well Fuck off mate - I don't want to see any bloody puppies.
