The latter, Northlondoner and alas a joke hasn't worked if it needs explanation, my coat is buttoned and zipped.

Labels such as 'white trash' or 'chav' are source of convenience for the ignorant. I agree it has a lot to with context but why do we need to single out what race these 'trash' people are anyway?

Ow Ow Ow owwwwww do you propopse we do that?

Really, what is the point? The world of sport has moved on since the BBC dominated the globe. Do you think Usain Bolt is arsed about this accolade? As for no women this yera?, pathetic. If that's what your selection process serves up, then, it is wrong. Women aren't represented well in the sporting media, that's not an excuse for them not be recognised. 'Personality' should to be replaced by 'Sportsperson'of the year, perhaps.

Awful, awful, awful news.

I'm a private-sector worker and the strikers have my full support. The media is doing a fine job in convincing everyone I think otherwise.

Are you still in 6th form Otta? I ask, because I remember similar debate all those years ago.

Yep, buying success to poisoning the oppo. Trivialising just suggests how weak your original argument was.

Sorry BR, I've had a glass, if you could paraphrase pls?

So by whore, you mean success at all costs? Great.

Big of you to admit that, think humility could play a big part in city's future.

As I said, not where they came from but the fact they came cheap and young and didn't cost millions, did they?

Thanks Otta for the forewarning of what success might bring. I do actually remember success and what it meant, no amount of success fuelled by wealth alone could replace that.

Butt, Giggs, Sharpe, Beckham all started from v young age. My point wasn't Manchester born, it was from success built on a side from within, without, spending millions. Dress it up how you like. You are bad for the game.

Sounds like a well rehearsed argument to me BR. As much as I detest them, MU built on success from within, as have Liverpool and Arsenal in the past. Easy to dismiss all as 'that's the way it is now, get used to it'. Fair enough, perhaps you are right but I will never hold a candle to the likes of Man City or Chelsea.

If that's unfathomable, care to explain why? Are you a mind-reader?

BR, will you seriously hold your head high should you be crowned champions this season? Hollow hysteria? My team are in serious trouble financially, would I take the City way out? No.

Gutted for the guy. Perhaps people should be a little more inquisitive when buying second-hand bikes.

Perhaps consider your next nom de plume a little more carefully. All too identifiable, along with your appalling grammar.

Pressing mute wouldn't allow me to listen to the 'real' effects now, would it? There is nothing wrong with incidental music, keep it incidental. A polar bear scratching its arse doesn't warrant a chorus of dramatic drums. This is nature and it is fascinating enough, stop trying to sell it to us as if it's a movie, Jurassic Park for example. as for the script, 'this particular beast has his mind on other things, romance is in the air and he's not afraid who knows it...' I made this bit up but hopefully you get the gist. These are animals, not humans. Johnny Morris wasn't saying what the animals really thought you know, he was making it up. Kids stuff really.

Yes, the pictures are amazing - why not let them do most the talking? Do away with the humanising script and Disney music.

Dassi53, what are you up to later, fancy a drink? xxx Nette, apologies for pursuit of romance on your thread

spongebob and that life, involves a lot of reading, posting on a public forum?

Flintoff, Morrison's. Shopping there is just one great big hoot.
