Is > that not correct? The Ch5 website has it as "Filming of the documentary began days after the FA Cup final defeat to Chelsea at the end of the 2011/12 season." Tonight's episode is billed as: "Brendan Rodgers begins to rebuild Liverpool Football Club." and episode three as: "Liverpool FC are home at last." So maybe it's only six programmes dealing with pre-season up to the first game.

I meant that Rodgers will probably continue to react and over-act thanks to the presence of the cameras and, like all narcissists, would think the show portrays him as a genius/savant rather than David Brent mkII. When I previously described the show as an 'Anfield arse licking' I meant that the makers obviously intended it to show Liverpool in a positive light - but everything from Rodgers' ludicrously pompous and confused pronouncements to Clive Owen's ridiculously orgasmic narration only serve to make the club a bit of a laughing stock - imho. Not so much car-crash telly as motorway pile-up.

If I have a win on the opera I go to the dogs... I once had that Pavarotti on a Placido yankee double but the b*st*rd got knocked wide on the last corner by Bryn Terfel. Still, had Carreras in the tote so still got enough for a swaray (sic) at White City - ah them were the days. :)-D

It's like footballers, you know, like, saying obviously, you know, and obviously, you know, it's like, so annoying obviously. You know.

I think the Ch5 documentary promotional series has triggered a narcissistic/messianic complex in Rodgers and he is on a downward spiral that will see him caught naked shouting ourside Mike Riley's house one early Sunday morning or throwing rocks at the FA's windows screaming "It's because I'm from Ballymena isn't it ya b*st*rds!?"

Ah, so maybe we should skip botox and go straight to formaldehyde. You get a bit of a shine sometimes but that can be put down to a youthful glow.

Surely Pollo was Old Compton st - dark red vinyl benches in booths with a 'pick your pasta and match it with a sauce' menu. Seem to remember it was a couple of quid for a pretty good plateful. Used to frequent the Blue Posts (Berwick St) years ago and last time I passed it didn't look as though it had changed much. Always a great atmosphere, always full and the kind of place you'd arrange to meet before going on somewhere - and end up staying in 'til closing time.

Given that B&J is available everywhere what the chocolate fudge would they open a shop for? To sell t-shirts and mugs? What next, a Cadbury shop? Besides which they probably hadn't counted on the - ahem - independent business above Threshers closing down and wiping out their late night customer base. All hokum imo. *mine's a screwball...

If your cat croaks you have the rare manx catfrog (Rana Felix-catesbeiana), like the American bullfrog it lives near bodies of water (swamps, ponds, etc.) but, uniquely, suckles its young.

Terry's 'retirement' from international football won't save him from an FA ban... "I feel the FA, in pursuing charges against me where I have already been cleared in a court of law, have made my position with the national team untenable." ...bleats wriggling worm in predictably clumsy PR move shocker.

yes I know I should be in bed but couldn't succumb without this as an antidote (predote?) to the first one - Cindy when she was a young 'un... evidence somewhere here about not having to be young to rock but it helps, or just makes one change gear or some such balls... zzzzz

It's way too late and there has been way too much alcohol consumed to be mucking around on the forum at this time in the am - but fuck it.

Is that a fucking ipad 6.0 or a fucking ipad 5.0?

If you know you are about to experience projectile vomiting (and you do, always, know) don't attempt to block it with your hand. You will only succeed in spattering people/objects/vistas to your left and right (*see "dangers of thumbing your own hose") as well as risking temporary blindness, upchuck-immolation and possible choking. Let it fly and look your victim square in the eye as you do. It's only fair.

I suspect TJ could care less about anything anyone says about her apart from when she's seeking re-election; and as she has managed that in the recent past without busting a gut I don't suppose this will bother her a jot. She might be secretly a little pleased that enough people care to attack such an irrelevant public figure her; albeit over her rather blatant - to some disgraceful to others unproven and/or minor - shenanigans. If TB can carry on with an air of sanctimony and celebration (doesn't he still sometimes come across as a man who believes he has saved the world? Now THAT is self delusion at its apogee) that takes the breath away then it should be no surprise his followers are equally brazen. The only amusing aspect is the smug arrogance of her 'job done' parting remark - as though we have her alone to thank for the whole Olympic/Paralympic success story. My opinion is not at all coloured by her support of West Ham's bid to take over the Olympic Stadium. Just leave it Tess, leave it.

If my Nokia 2310 falls victim to the Apple-constant-upgrade "3 card trick" I may have to switch to the Samsung E1230. Only thing is that, even on offer, it is ?0.49 more than the Nokia. But I would probably do some internet research before I made my mind up.

Nope You tell them that's what you're going to do, in such a way that they will only admire your practical nature, then do nothing and hope they've forgotten all about it by the time you next see them.

so that was "Being Liverpool FC"... hm... how can I put this... What a bollock-achingly, wince-inducing, over-stretched, fawning, embarassment of a puff piece. A sick-making bag of tat. A massive fucking slobbery love letter from Fox, a real Anfield arse-licking. They used to make watchable documentary/fly-on-the-wall stuff years ago (remember "Orient - Club For a Fiver"?) but now they (you know, them!) make hour long commercials in the American style. I have to go and throw up.

Posh toff is surely either an obscure Georgian poet, a sex act with Mrs Beckham or a fucking tautology? *just saying geezer.

The DIY shop down from Greed & Blue carries a wide selection of watch Batteries as does Shauns nr the station.
