Cheer yourself Lou with a trip to M&S to buy some of their Christmas goodies. There's a good selection on sale at the Lordship Lane branch.

I'm having a The Walkmen (one of the most consistently underrated bands of recent times) and Hamilton Leithauser (their front man) binge at the moment. The latest single is great. His voice is my favourite in music at the moment.

The midweek tie contradicts me obviously, but i don't see how he can develop to his full potential playing in the SPL week in week out, especially under Rogers. To me it tells me something about his attitude (wants to be a big fish in a smaller pond). I may well be completely wrong of course.

Interestingly- Pret a Manger sandwiches are some of the least healthy out there. Astonishing calorific values.

Either you're lying or they are. It's much cheaper than pizza express. Cheaper and nicer.

You'll find that most of the new 'posh' burger joints cook pink.

Fantastic game. I hope City bring that level of defending with them to White Hart Lane on Sunday and we show Celtic's levels of commitment.

I was expecting this thread to be about Lewis Hamilton's recent qualifying problems.

Just be me and my old dear this year. She lives in Cumbria and this year, rather than faffing about for just two of us, we're going to our favourite sunday lunch pub for Christmas Day. I've already chosen what i'm having! Christmas dinner is always the highlight of my year :) The pub http://www.whitehart-lakedistrict.co.uk/ The Christmas menu http://www.whitehart-lakedistrict.co.uk/christmasday.htm

Yes, without hesitation. If his kids are still young enough, why would he want to go off somewhere and not have a much bigger part to play in their upbringing?!

Owl's well that ends well.

I guess that's what snapping out of it quickly looks like. Good performance. Big questions to be asked of Leicester's defence though.

What's happened to make you think this? Most peculiar.

Fair enough
