oi - Mornington Crescent/Scrabble boy - back in your box!!

I liked it LL (tu)

Bless you Rosie for spreading the word on this man. I have posted about him too many times before to start another thread - even if it is about his new TV series But his 3 DVDs are gold... I watched last week's episode and have taped tonight's so no spoilers please - everyone else.. to your iPlayers

Oh so very true. But since Piers used it the other week it has become my "ah this one will get past the censors" default choice

keef - don't get me wrong. I'm not talking about people's jobs. With businesses going bust left right and centre I'm assuming that it's a given that I think it's a shame anyone loses a job But in terms of what most of the pizza delivery places offer - they are interchangable. And they operate out of 10 square feet. Wheras Hisar is a huge restauarnt that offers something nowhere else in the area does But I will try Mammas

Hmm - all I remember is being half-frightened to death at the time Diana died, and how any form of criticism at all was met by... as you say.. an almost primeaval anger to "shut the F*** up/how dare I say anything against her" etc Seriously the country was just weird. And I'm not keen for the country to go there again. If if it is a natural outpouring of whatever - it's spooky

fine sentiments BB - but to what end? Does such reflection make us a more compassionate society? I don't think it does

in the dashboard go to My Xbox - with the game disc highlighted you should get an option to press Y to see more details - and then you should see Install

I won't be making this one

Mike - what is it I've said that has gotten your goat so? Why the accusation of hypocrisy and who is trying to "crush" you? You are being disagreed with and I think I'm doing so in a reasonable way - what's the problem?

You're right about these kids being different. But what will make things more different (in a bad way) for these kids is the public appetite. The more people "grieve" the more the kids become the unwitting focus for that grief. Not healthy. It's nothing do to do with any of us. Let the people who know them pay their respects and look after them. there is nothing for us to see here. If Mikecg is worried about society he should worry about one which cares disproportionately for "celeb" kids who already have financial security (relatively) Throw a stone outside your window - you'll find kids in a similar boat without the same cash

Verily CE!

Nah - you did that when you registered as Felicity Normal

But that's not good enough is it? Thousands of the wee buggers in the same boat every day. Why choose these ones? And lest see how many people care for the children with a violent thug of a dad and the press doorstepping them as they reach adolesence. Let's see if people care for "the kids" then and stop buying the scum papers I agree with quids around the class/chav/easy name calling thing - it's out of order. But the inappropriate shrieking of grief is just as misplaced as it was when t'middle classes came out when Diana died. So in that sense - apart from a few people generalising, this isn't about class really - it's about a weird mass-hypnotic effect overtaking common sense Piers expressed it best. Not much more to add really.

oh but I forgot who is this daizie mentalist? She makes WMTD look sane "hahaha @ sean getting gobby, if any of you really like him, stop him showing himself up, please..." When she (I'm guessing) started posting she seemed alright - then went weird very quickly Maybe she will say why I'm showing myself up. But that would assume she is capable of cogent argument instead of just going "tee hee.. pffft... * points finger * ... ooh I've just wet myself"

oops - sorry quids - too late! But you are of course correct

Anyone? English is my first language so I'm struggling with this If you have a problem with xbox generally, we could have that discussion on that thread. But you seem to have a bee in your bonnet - you bang on about a "kids toy" as if you are some paragon of mature values- I have seen sweet fuck all from you to suggest you have a mental aged above 14 so do me a favour The Pablo Picasso reference is a (tired) reference to anyone who tries to break the rules before learning them first. IE - you. Not me. You purport to want to engage in adult conversation but are incapable. You bang on about me playing consoles when that makes up what - 1% of my discourse that you are aware of? What's the matter with you? Anyone CAN write any crap - the question is "why would they"? Why not have something meaningful to say and say it? And then have some fun as well? But all you have done you squalid little fuck, is denigrate and piss on everyones bonfire. Begone

Every single line of Annasfield's post basically. I am no Man U hater - they have been up until recently the outstanding team this season - but I would love Liverpool to win this year. And seeing a team in their form over the last 3 games have to take a break is really frustrating

oooh for a minute there,....

at the risk of sounding like "reasonable" Sean again, it's the fact that I suspect you (like a couple of other pains) have a decent intellect and choose to never use it, means I can never enjoy your more surreal ramblings BBW. I have no BBW scale... I just have 1 = complete twonk. 10 = slightly less of a twonk Prove me wrong

I won't argue about the quality aspect - but that Irish shop has been around a long time lenk - don't see it going out of business any time soon. And I pop in regularly enough for my irish "needs" Can't agree with Louisa's comment about service tho' (a nation is shocked!) The service has often (not always) reminded me of why I left Ireland

Now that Henieken is no longer the 4.x % swill it was a few years ago, it's a decent pint (I'm a fizzy pop man. I'm sorry. I wish I liked ale... but I don't) As Keef said Becks is vile - but as a 4% drinking lager it's preferable to the competition. Very few draught lagers get me excited... poor as the service is, the M&B pubs (Plough, Dog, Phoenix etc) have the best selection and usually very well kept As a sidenote, BigPhil is an example to any newcomer (business related or not) in how to join a forum. The Albert is not the easiest pub for me to get to but his whole demeanor makes certain that I will be visiting in the coming weeks

The sitting-down bit would depend on what it's like (how much ambience is possible there?) but quality pizzas & peroni? For sure. (and I can't believe* Louisa is pushing a "supermarket pizzas are as good as Gowlett/Any decent pizza place" line.) * By can't believe I, of course mean, am collecting my ?100 bet from Betfred tomorrow that she would come up with such an obvious line. There are two possibilities. 1) she believe her arguments. ie Supermarket pizza is interchangable with decent dough and toppings. In which case she is a mentalist 2) She doesn't really believe it, but is having what is cutely known as "a laugh". Which still makes her a mentalist. But also a fookwit to boot

Game were selling them cheap about a month ago (less than half price - still too much really) Even with one you would really want to be wired.. much faster connection - important for online play and streaming videos. (Less so for general downloading/browsing to be fair) I have one and you can have it if you like - I'm going wired again

Ha I just read this thread and LOVING keef's post - but it was when I read ????'s first post on here that I thought "yep - that's the one" - because reacting like I have is cathartic (and BELIEVE ME I can go much much much further down that road) but it's basically giving these twonks what they want Look at WMTD's posts on this very thread- barely relevant, lacking any point of their own and entirely without wit or... jesus .. anything I've lost it before - where this voice of reason business comes from I have no idea (and Lady Mac even less so!) - I remember giving ????'s a fair few "go"s in my time - I do regret doing it on the xbox thread - I could have "pulled" more "numbers" if it was in one of the MANY threads currently infected - it was just that was just a specific, no need for any bullshit thread that made me go for it One of the twonks accused me of losing my sense of humour (and even doing that classic schoolchild "we've been talking about you in private" bullshit numbers) and to that it's a fair cop. I've been livid for days.. But to anyone who says "it's just a forum, get a life/some perspective" I would say that misses the point completely. Right here, as you read this, is just a forum but it's a mirror of larger society and the same bullshit problems afflict the wider world. So I don't get angry at numpties on a forum - I'm getting angry at the average adult's inability to get some cop on and deal with the world in anything approaching a mature way. When you have earned your stripes and convinced people you have a BRAIN then you get to go a bit mental and bend the rules. You know... like Pablo Picasso (he never got called an asshole... not in New York) [lots more was here - deleted for everyone's sake. As you were]
