    Anyway, gutted Liverpool dropped 2 points this weekend, but Villa did play well, and our formation in the first half was all wrong. I do think our equalising penalty was a penalty, because the keeping took his ankles, but he was heading away from goal, so I guess it could be called a soft one.

Theyn were slaughtering United down the left.

    The Dutch league may not be the best, but it's better than the SPL by a country mile IMO.
  4. They've taken a clear photo of him that was available to them, and they've cropped it to concentrate on his head. It wouldn't surprise me if they'd chosen the most "gangsta" image they could, but at the end of the day, he was dodgy.
  5. The rumour was from someone inside, but they stressed that it's only rumour.

    The Beatles

    They should never have been allowed to make films thiugh. Especially Yellow Submarine. I friggin hate Yellow Submarine!
  7. I heard a RUMOUR last night that it could be another hairdressers. That really would be a crap addition to a road with a couple of hairdressers already in it.

    The Beatles

    Because no one had ever done a lot of what they did before. There was a recent program about Jimi Hendrix in which someone said along the lines of "we've all seen the videos now and it seems old hat, but if you were there in that crowd seeing this wild man setting his guitar alight, it would have blown your mind". The Beatles were doing things that had never been done before, they were prog rock before prog rock existed.
  9. When there's flooding you need a dyke. I'll get my coat.
  10. Why not Sue? (Serious question, I am no expert on these things). If allowed, then setting up basically a stall in front of the cafe seems a good idea to me.

    Yesterdays just played in the George Canning. Their music is alive!

    Lucy in the sky, and strawberry fields for me.

    And getting a number 1 back then actually involved shifting a hell of a lot of records.

    And for the record, I'm not trying to be a cunt about Celtic. They're a massive club, with no opposition.Decent opposition is required if they want to raise their game outside of Scotland.

    The Beatles

    The Beatles wre amazing and broke new ground many times over, but they all should have been forced to retire from music when the band split. Or maybe Paul should have been allowed to do Wingts, and John could have done Imagine, but after that nothing!

    Well leave the Scottish League then, , because with that kind of opposition week in and week out you'll never win a European cup again.
  17. "It's not a tax on the recipient's earned income but on an unearned windfall." How is the proceeds of a person's property unearned? You work, you buy your home and pay massive interest whilst doing so. Then you die so you pass it on to someone. You earnt that right and it's yours to give away, how do the state suddenly own a portion of that?
  18. I'm sorry, but this is all getting a bit pathetic. I'm sure it's a great shop run by decent people, but come on!

    Mick is right, I might feel differently if I were a Celtic fan, and take some joy in seeing the enemy destroyed. Then I'd realise that I had no one to challenge me, and I'd just get fat feasting on the other crappy teams in my league whilst clinging to fond memories of old firm days.

    "and have since paid out questionable fortunes to departing directors, advisors and various hangers-on." I've not read up on it, but would they have had any choice about paying these people off? Maybe better to pay them off and get6 rid, than keep them involved and milking the club over a longer period. If I was a Celtic fan, this would be upsetting for me to see. What are Celtic without Rangers? It's like night without day. They need each other.
  21. Great, so legalise it, clean it up, and we can all get high AND remember it. Sorted.

    Yeah, but maybe better to accept a 15% cut than find yourself unemployed...

This I've nothing against the greengrocers, and think they've been badly treated, but to boycott the new business for something that was probably nothing to do with them is senseless.
  24. Perhaps, but it still isn't a tobacco product, so didn't slip through any nets.
