I'm pleased for West Ham, and I know Spurs supporters aren't bothered about Europa, but I wish that match hadn't been before the City Everton match later on, as Everton are now more or less guaranteed 5th spot. Even if they don't consciously take their foot off the pedal, you can't help but think that without the urgency...

Hello, we got my 5 year okd a Hello Kitty karaoke machine for her birthday. it wasn't particularly cheap at ?80 so imagine my horror when it came out the box, didn't work properly and just seemed very cheaplyr made! So that's going back and I need a replacement. The idea is that she can have it in the bedroom so I need a stand alone ine with a little screen and built in speaker. Any recommendations gratefully received. Thanks.

I assumed he'd be their prime minister which is why he's so desperate for it to happen. That alone would be enough to make me vote no, the self serving twat! Will be interesting if there is a yes vote to see how long it takes for all the negotiating to take place.

Knocking shop.

Yep, he's done fantastic work there. And I don't think they'll take their foot pff the pedal because I think he'll be telling those players they need top show him they're worth keeping for next season. Not expecting an easy game for Liverpool at all.

It's a shame City and Liverpool aren't playing on the same day. IF Everton can hold them to a draw or beat them, Liverpool will have 2 days to wait before playing Palace, which will be painful.

Unfortunately Rooney's injury, which is keeping hom out of United's match with Sunderland, won't keep him out of the world cup. It's like we're determined to take the same team that have failed so many times so that they can have one last huge failure together.

He is vile, but it turns out he was just the first to get caught.

I think Louisa thinks about every post before she types actually.

Ted on "Show me show me" (October 2011) Miss Mouse is a subtle reworking of the ancient certainties of traditional storytelling, one that revolves around the central line, "Don't be frightened Momo, the giant is our friend". The song moves from the comfort of a tea party to a dystopian vision of random peril, with the children cast first as ineffectual bystanders, and then as actual perceived agents of wrong doing. By placing the children within this Lilliputian setting, the writers transform the infants themselves into monstrous giants, giving them and us new awareness of the giant's usual characterisation; the cast-out who is left alone, despised and feared. This Swiftian inversion is further re-inforced by the casting of the mouse as the agent of miraculous change and rescue. Miss Mouse repeatedly insists on us acknowledging her presence "it was me", and in doing so demands of the children that they recognise that real change can only be brought about by taking responsibility for ones actions. "Who did it?" "It was me" The song ends with a revisited tea party, a coda of wisdom for all parties, where the simple act of caring and sharing for each other has taken on new significance. The song can only be viewed as a heartfelt plea for mutual understanding and as a plea for enlightenment thinking, rather than the fear of, and the placing of faith in, externalised, supernatural forces. "Don't be frightened Momo, the giant is our friend" And then there was this Ted on "In the night garden" (this is genius) ITNG works best as an exploration of the development of the self. Upsy Daisy is a pure egotist. She must claim all aspects of Upsiness and Daisyness for herself: "I'm the only Upsy one, I'm the only Daisy too". Iggle Piggle's refrain is more querying, "Yes my name is Iggle Piggle..." but then, as if unsure, he tries out other possibilities "Igglepiggle, niggle, wiggle, diggle". One asserts only she can be called her name, the other wonders what he would be if he were called something else. They are equally bound by our fears of nominative determinism. The Tombliboos represent our desire for the forbidden other - the self we cannot be. Jesters in the court of Upsy Daisy, their absurdity (Knock on the door/sit on the floor/here is my nose/that's how it goes), menage-a-trois sleeping arrangements and slack trouser elastic clearly indicating the attractive liminality of licensed misrule. Makka Pakka is what we have been, and will become - yelping absurdities to an uncaring world. Entirely unrealised, he is the negation of self. The Wottingers and the Pontypines know only that "We" are red, and "They" are blue (or vice versa), defining themselves as what they are not, and ignoring their inherent similarities. (Is there is a purple "Pontinger" buried in an unmarked infant's grave in the Garden?) They represent our doomed struggle with the possibility of a plurality of self. We must be red, or blue. Not both. And never purple. I wish I could write like that!

There are a couple of pubs used I think. I always thought the early day time scene was the Wishing Well, but there is a party scene later on which looks too big for the WW.

In that case no, unless he has grandkids. But a spectacularly brilliant TedMax post in the family room a while back showed that he has a very good working knowledge of "In the Night Garden", so he's had kids TV on in recentish years.

No chance at all. But it's nice to see younger managers like Rogers and Martinex changing things up a bit in the prem and using some young English players. Not saying that means we'll win the next one, but hopefully we're at least gragging ourselves out of the footy dark ages.

Yep Jah is right. I don't think ED made any further appearences in Mona Lisa after those opening scenes. It was more dark and dingy Kings Cross.

So long as I'm not Binks I'm easy.

The new Star Trek films have both been pretty cool. I was willing to forgive episodes 1 & 2 if 3 had been as awesome as it could have been, but no, it was absolute shit. New ones could be good, but being Disney they'll probably throw a couple of musical numbers in there just to really fuck it up.

Perhaps families come and go to the sites, so the site is permanent but the people using it are always changing. I've been involved (through work) with a few traveller families over the years, and they always move on eventually. For unlurked to say they don't care about their kids education is a pretty disgusting generalisation, true in some cases I'm sure, but not a rule (and I've met many many parents who couldn't give a shit even though they live in permanent houses). He probably has a point about the cinema though.

This is surely a good thing http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-27188915

Status Quo started in The Uplands though.

Don't think anyone actually hates it. Hate is a bit much.
