Dude. I'm just trying to say chill, and you go nuts on me You ARE a much more pleasant, reasonable person when you reregister. So you DO know the difference. You don't even rise to any goading for weeks. Then it all comes out. If I say anything in support of you it's patronising. If i have a go I'm goading. Jesus

Ah stevet, it's not good to have you back

I thought the OP had contacted TW?

Hmmm Well I never try and goad him into a rant but given that in this thread people get goaded all the time, he tends to have been the one to ask people out for a fight. You for example Anna have been hacked off before and just left for a while... a far better response

Im pretty much on the same page as Atila about Allardyce and have no problem with the post per se. It's just that it's part of a pattern which we have seen in the past. There is nothing remotely wrong with it per se, but given how things have deteriorated before I'm trying to stop him getting banned again Besides no one is provoking as far as I can see?

People driving today? Apart from a few need-tos, what are you thinking??

Atila. You know when you are repeatedly banned and then you come back under a new name and for a while you are quite nice and people quite like you? Any chance you can stick to that instead of revering to just constant slagging others off? That'd be nice

You see what you want to see sedgie

"6 weeks early you say?"

sick is possibly too strong but it's not sitting comfortably with me either I think some papes were sued for libel last year and it's probably worth people thinking before they post

Isn't Xmas the name used by non-Christians who celebrate the holiday? Otherwise you would go with Christmas

You would be surprised at how many Arsenal fans are starting to voice that opinion on the various blogs and boards I would agree with everything you said there tho

the blog linked above explains why they don't do that either tara it's fairly hardline policy , but having being in the same position as the OP, rather than complain I just changed by behaviour and became better with bags. More of a win win to me

hang on Mac - it's sounds from your post that you are expanding on the OP, as if you are the same person? Or are you saying you had exactly the same experience if someone offered me a free bottle of wine as comp, I'd be happy enough but some people really like to complain

are the accusation flying just for the sake of it today? How do you know these hessian bags were made as you claim dulwichfox? felttip - do you know how much half-decent wine costs to make?

I wouldn't mind seeing the actual wording of that - if true, then legalbeagle sounds interested enough to take action. If it's not true then we haven't much to talk about do we?

You either buy into the ?plastic bags are a problem? or you don?t. When monica was in full flow with the SNUB campaing there was a lot of debate about how important are they in the scheme of things (compared to international air travel etc etc) If you don?t buy into it all then that?s your call But if you do nominally subscribe to the idea of cutting back on plastic bag usage then I think it needs shops to take a hardline to genuinely change our habits Several times I was caught out like this at G&B at the beginning ? I didn?t blame them, I just got better at doing the bag thing. I don?t see the black and white argument that they shouldn?t sell anything from far away ? that?s where good wine comes from. But if we can reduce the overall overhead by removing plastic bags from the equation then bonus Recycling the bottle when finished is relatively pointless compared to the freight but that doesn?t mean you don?t drink it

I?m not blind to Wenger?s weaknesses but I?m as sure as eggs that when he goes, we won?t have a period of less attractive football coupled with trophies. We won?t have a manager of anywhere near his calibre (there aren?t many) and even if we did the constraits at Arsenal re: budget mean a different challenge What we will do, if we push him, is enter a period of gentle decline and be a mid to 4th spot team - at best

The 3 promoted teams are all playing pretty good football and reaping the rewards If Mick is right and it's cyclical (I don't think it is) but if it was to revert to the older style English game, you can also expect a similar collapse in global interest a la Italian football

That's narcissistic opera singers for you

don't forget well-done steaks

Ah yes ? do we blame the junkie or the pusher? Always had one-hit wonders yes, I just don?t remember so many people debating their merits (and paying premium rate phone lines every week to do it! In a recession no less) In fact there is a long history of people groaning about shit one hit wonders. But I do it now and I?m a snob? You managed to sound quite snobby yourself there btw ? only about millions of people rather than a TV show

Am I missing something? Who's fault is it?

I?m not 100% sure but I THINK I?m being accused of not liking pop music somewhere in here. If that?s the case can I at least try and protest my innocence. I love pop music. Have done since I was a nipper and do now. And whilst the likes of Rhianna and Gaga appear on Xfactor in outfits that make Madge appear the shrinking violet (and all before the watershed too ? tsk) they are palpable pop-stars. Yes, they may have a phalanx of writers, producers, makeup artists yadda yadda, they unquestionably have ?it? ? that thing that genuine pop stars have Winners of Xfactor (and we have enough of a track record now to judge don?t we) aren?t like these people. They aren?t even pop stars several rungs down ? like, oooh I dunno, The Belle Stars, Kajagoogoo Or The Farm. Y?know, people with hits but no kudos. They are just winners of Opportunity Knocks, only in 2010. What they don?t have is ?it?. What they do have is disproportionate access to TV audience ? where once you could see music on TV from disparate sources such as ToTP, The Chart Show, The Old Grey Whistle test and the Tube ? now you have this. And a few weeks a year on a graveyard slot you have Jools Holland*. Big woop So no ? I do love pop music. Whether it?s the sample-heavy Crazy Right Now or Umbrella, or originals like Hey Ya, or New York great pop music rules. * on a channel which is free to the population but which only about 20% of viewers bother with ? when exact same shows are shown on BBC1 ? boom 2 million viewers becomes 10 million.

Ahhh im with you now. Expecting sarcastic use of the word class in this report are we?
