You don't need to be a gooon to delight on the collective Mancunian red face (and no I don't just mean AF). For the Rooney/Suarez argument - let's not forget Terry. The CPS have the details now so why hasn't the sod been officially charged?

Red Rice (or Camargue Rice named for the region of France where it is cultivated) is wonderful stuff (available in SMBS) - it needs rinsing first then soaking for 20 mins and cooking for 40-45. Nutty without the dusty flavour of some brown rice. Wild rice (whilst not - strictly speaking - a rice at all) can be treated in the same way.

Did you not have Basel at 5/1 then Mick?

Tevez is probably celebrating his fellow Serie A colleagues victory though. Keane has his "It wasn't like this in my day..." look on full beam.

Yes wrong thread... more like After the Lord Mayor's Show for Manchester...

Her curtains of course.

*sings* Manchesterrrrr la, la, laaaa, Manchesterrrr la, la, laaaa.... so for CL final stage qualification that would be London 2:0 Manchester right? Makes the upcoming FA Cup game a MUST win for both, if only to salvage a little pride.

Good to see the Blues doing so well tonight though....... ...Napoli that is.

Where's the special thingy you use for getting a team out of a hole?...http://www.patricktaylor.com/uploads/dclassicswiss1.jpg... oh yeah, he went to Man City...

...cuckoo clockwork.

Things are going like clockwork....

Japanese = 怒りと愛と As you can see Japanese is more aesthetically pleasing and has a sad face in a crash helmet - 怒り - and a couple of schnaebs - と - separated by a miniature mexican cowboy - 愛 - doing the splits! Surely that says it all. - personally I'd go with Greek as it gives you more outs.

I'm a fan of Emily's in Nrthx rd but great to know there's one over that way now... Pint in Gowlett and proper chips on way home instead of fries from a kebab shop...mmmn.

That's all you get on a Friday night down the Lane these days, streets running with Ilk and Orbs flying everywhere. Community Policing?!? Pah!

If not use subterfuge and religious argument... Deliver a hampamphlet to Pickwick in pig latin explaining the honour you are bestowing on these dead-uns in ingesting them in accordance with your beliefs - this is so Pickers knows what to expect and can affect indifference and/or a knowing superiority over his distant cousins.

sounds like a good idea - just prepare to be inundated with requests for talks on clinical depression and insomnia...

I can't decide between a wind-up version to save even more money on batteries...http://www.go4awalk.com/pics/geartestpics/gelert-windup-headtorch.jpg ..or this one with the flip-down red lens for reading louche novellas http://www.surplusandoutdoors.com/images/product/main/NIGHT-CYBERLITE-RT5110.jpg

Best steer clear of Nazis at Xmas and instead watch Sound of Music... or Great Escape... or Raiders of the Lost Ark...or..

Best have one before you set out really... they have Clamato juice in DKH Sainsburys so for a change try a Bloody Caesar which I discovered in Fredericton, New Brunswick and became very quickly addicted to.

Ooooh I LOVE a Swedish Aga! http://i.telegraph.co.uk/multimedia/archive/01532/Aga_1532423c.jpg This one was in The Needles lighthouse... Hey mister, I'll have you know the aga is a truly English creation which has been warming British hearths for three centuries! Yours, A Fan. SIR ? The Aga is not a "truly English creation which has been warming British hearths for three centuries" (Life, November 22). It was invented only 80 years ago by a Swedish Nobel Prize winner, Gustaf Dal?n. Born in 1865, Dal?n was a gifted inventor who obtained nearly a hundred patents. When he was 13 years old he invented an alarm clock which switched on the light and boiled the coffee before the alarm went off?. The Aga company was founded in 1904, mainly to market the lighthouse invented by Dal?n. I have an electric, extremely economical Aga myself, which I love. I may concede, however, that I have seen more Agas in England than in Sweden. Professor Ingrid Detter Frankopan (sic) London WC1
