I genuinely hope for a no, we are both more than the sum of our parts (ooeerr missus) but second worst campaign of all time (after lib dem electoral reform) may well have achieved a yes. Best of luck frankly, I truly wish Scotland well but would happily see Salmond fall off something fatal. Proper shit that man.

Shit season but I'll take yesterday thank you very much

Given that they're are only 8 rather than 10 is a good indication of the quality of the science on show.

He sounds like a psychopath to me.

M1 Direction

Excellent, one of mine from the other place... Great minds etc Fred Astaire Lift

Chaka Khan you move down the effing carriage please?!

Brian Cross Channel Ferry

Hitch'ike and Turner

excellent, that's the spirit. we stick to bands because songs can cause overwhelmed brain meltdonw syndrome, plus it's often far too obscure for everyone to enjoy. but it's a new game for a new place, so whatever people want really

wow, pretty damning. game over for mr clifford

nowt wrong with a good literal, but it's the puns that usually win. THe sex week, my very own "Chas in Dave" was the winner. last week was 'The Midlands' and Steph's "Crash Test Brummies" deservedly won.

more Volkswagen Beatles ianr

so originally it was just a connection ie if subject was 'Water', we might have had 'Emerson Lake & Palmer' then the puns started coming in, so "Brine Adams", "Katie Perryer" and it basically morphed into the pun competition. it's fun there and I thought I'd try it here.....

I've enjoyed this chap for a long time, i don't think he even lives in london anymore so hats off for effort http://onionbagblog.com/2014/04/27/crap-match-report-51/

ok, nicking this off a friday competition my mate runs on facebook, you have to do puns based on band names/artists and the week's theme. This week transport So 'Mott the Hoopullman' or 'Horse and Carter the Unsoppable Sex MAchine' etc no idea how we choose a winner....

He has a chippie on his shoulder imhereallweekeverybody....

THere's always a case where a proper footballing team gets a shocking defeat by a minnow, so on that note* Italy 0 England 1 Uruguay 2 England 1 England 1 Cost Rica 0

"But I don't ever recall a run up to a World Cup with such lack of enthusiasm all round" Just wait til the Qatari one!!! Everyone will surely still enjoy a world festival of colour and football once it starts if Brasil can avoid a popular revolution and/or stadia collapses. Perhaps though it's a reflection of the modern game (ie broader levels of fitness and professialism, coupled with closer media control) that there are fewer personalities or standout talents there to get excited about.

It warsn't mentioned if spock would be in this one but he did make the trek to the reboot

that was just me just skim reading the above post. Anyhow, I thought he was quite a nuanced actor not just a good cockernay! I miss him :(

weren't the pub scenes in the old wishing well?

i think many years of indifferent performances has finally persuaded all but the fanatics that our mdeiocre achievements are actually generally punching above our weight!! Expectation at all time low I'd say. Hard to look past brasil anyway isn't it? queue never write off etc.....
