Totally agree that it is very unfair for teams knocked out of the Champs League to get a place in the knockout stages! Also miss the Cup winners cup.

Just uninvite them, bloody rude putting this sort of pressure on you at Christmas!

Pleased the pool got a well needed home win. Too many points being dropped to stay close to the top 4.

Empty shampoo bottles in the bath.

I always said that as good a player as Ronaldo was at Man U, he was also cheating scum. It is only right then that I acknowledge that Suarez has habits that I really don't like. A shame, because he's a great player. Do think Kenny has a point though, and why the hell is this racism thing being allowed to drag on? The FA are hardly covering themselves in glory, you'd have thought they'd have wanted it resolved quickly.

I agree that she has been massively villifioed in the press.

Zack just makes me think of "Saved by the bell"... Ah, I used to well fancy Kelly when I were a lad.

Very true indeed.

A lot is being made of possible mental health issues. I'm, sorry, but depression does not excuse this behaviour. Other mental health conditions possibly do, but this is all speculation. PS. I am not unsympathetic to people with depression.

Pipe down Strafer, I missed all the footy last night (band practise), so this is the first I've heard. Fucking hilarious if you ask me.

RE: Bellamy, I've slated him in the past, and he has acted the tool, but dare I say it, he seems to have grown up a bit... (famous last words)

You'd think they'd make it a bit longer. My daughter is 4 months now, and actually quite a squat baby, but even she seemed to have no growing room. She did love her cacoon, and I can still use it to get her to sleep, but we've never really had any joy using it as it was meant to be used. Toddler in buggy, baby in sling us the only way we've been able to manage, but hard work for Mrs Otta.

Last year I was rubbish, and didn't get the tree until xmas eve. I ended up with a 7ft+ monster (I had to cut a bit off the top to stand it in the living room), for which I paid ?25. I appreciate the price had probably dropped for clearing before xmas day. However, I just enquired of the same people how much for a nice looking 5-6ft tree, and had to really make an effort to keep my mouth closed when she said "?50 for that one love"! Is this going rate?!

We have 2 girls, but boys names we had decided on were Issak (Izzy) Emanuel (Manny) Jonathan Jonathan was for more personal reasons. My favourite was Manny. (although I did like Izzy for the Guns N' Roses connection)

It was so so predictable that Liverpool would lose last night. 2 wins against Chelsea, and a draw against Man City (which they were disappointed not to win), and they get beat by Fulham. Same old same old with consistency!

Have you asked at Franklin's? Sounds like their kind of thing.

There is no way Social Services would remove a child in this situation. Unless the publicity generated by the YouTube video leads to pressure from other quarters.

I've only just realised this is a separate thread. Doh!

Cross post with DJ, but agree with her.

I half agree with you, however there is a huge distinction between a racist state, such as 30s Germany, or Apartheit South Africa, and individual racism. For me, racist is racist, whatever your skin colour. Back to acm, I think s/he used some rubbish examples, like "yummy mummys" drinking in the afternoon, but equally, I think the point about free speech is an important one.

Oh, and I love Misfits!

Very good, and very dark!

Agreed, except I don't really want little mix to win, because they're not my thing. Amelia is probably closest to my thing, but I agree with Gary Barlow about her voice.

Probably not, but as I don't know what you think that I'm thinking, I can't be sure.
