Otta

I never realised that the P stands for Peckham (apparently this is true, the geek in me made me look it up). I used to get the P3 to school, now it's the 343. Used to be a horrid green.

Hang on, where do you keep your tissues Jah?

Mario apparently is only a doubt for the next match, so doesn't sound too bad. At first I thought he was going to be out for a while. Not sure if I'm happy or not about this news.

Bugger, more problems for Sturridge http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/30109077 We're not having much joy with strikers this season!

That is wonderful news for anyone that likes a pub. As EP says, it's just a shame it's taken so long and so many good places run by good hard working people just couldn't survive being royally screwed by the PubCos.

Yeah, Scotland scored a really good goal but it was never really close.

Like #OMGcoolpost

I think it largely is.

Yeah I think in this instance size really does matter. I was showing my mum (who is visually impaired) my wife's nexus 7, and whilst it was great for photos, it wasn't so good for reading because by the time she'd zoomed to an appropriate text size, it just involved too much scrolling. 10" screen would make all the difference.

Agreen. And RD, okay, so she said "seen", but again, she's 13, and probably meant a woman with a head shawl or something. I doubt any offence was meant. And now Doodle1 who has already pretty much called the girl's parents negligent, is comparing her to Nigel bloody Farage. You couldn't make it up!

Yeah, pretty much with you on that one.

I won't be a hypocrite and suddenly claim I always found your work hilarious, but that doesn't matter at all. Really sorry you've lost your mate, that's shit.

I'm totally confused as to who the usual suspects are. Half the time I think people are talking about me, half the time I think it can't be me because I said the exact opposite to what they have a problem with. And quite often the people that say "usual suspects" are in fact "usual suspects".

I remember seeing footage of the Rangers squad in 96 on their way to the training pitch, and Gazza telling Hendry he was going to chip him at Wembley. To make a cheeky threat like that then be able to carry it out. Poor old Gazza, real shame about his demons.

Yeah I'll be watching this one I hope (kids allowing - which they probably won't).

Yeah okay, fair enough that people MAY have thought it was a troll thing, but that's not the impression I got. And for those that question why I thought it was obvious that the OP was young, I give you her opening line. "I was out with my friends today in goose green playground when i dropped my phone,"

The whole right/left thing is about as useful today as the term "middle class". If the tories are a little bit right of center, then modern labour are centre. I'm not sure there are any real Left wing politicians. And the "far right" nutters, I'm not sure that right/left has anything to do with them, they're just racist cunts.

Performance art.

Is the floor of this mirrored hall black & white squares? And is there a weird midget who speaks forrwars yet backwards?

I agree with you if we're talking facebook and stuff. But I think this forum is a bit different. Your post just came over a bit sanctimonious and sounded like you were disapproving of someone's parenting. You need to tread very carefully with that sort of thing because people will understandably get pretty defensive. Aaaaaaaanyway, no harm done.

And only just seen the phone typo, that is a good one.

Indeed, but the surprising thing is that in two articles I've read from the Telegraph recently, they seem to be suggesting that the tory answer is not the correct one. That just surprised me, having never really read the paper, but having heard it called Torygraph for yonks.
