One of the few I would keep, therefore likely to be one of the few that any other club would want.

The Untouchables - Pretty good, though quite how Connery won an Oscar with that accent is beyond me.

He may as well have done, no pace and at a perfect height for the keeper.

When the fuck will Jenas learn? Hit it low and hit it hard. Fucking prick.

Belfast's fucking finest ffs. And no that's not a caption.

I'm quite confident you're wrong.

You passed your test then Magma?
-
I'm pretty sure it fucking is.

Was your zip undone when he brought you back? If so I wouldn't worry about it, probably just the post-orgasmic glow slowly fading away.

BabyCream, £4 for a pint of Fosters ffs. Wait till the budget, inflation has pushed prices up a lot in the last year, but this year the Government are raising prices above inflation as well. To be fair, anywhere that already charges £4 for a pint of weak beer isn't likely to be too concerned about the development of the underlying prices/duties. Though I concede it may well give them an excuse to hike their end-user prices to, ooh, let's say a nice round £4.50. They'll probably make it £5, no need for unfashionable things like change bringing the place down then. Card payments only, then there'll be no need for a till either. Don't get me started on those who refuse to bring cash out with them on a night out and feel that it's perfectly ok to hold up the whole bar while they try and remember their pin after a few too many white wine spritzers and think it's fucking hilarious. Cocks the lot of them!

Ah so that's how it worked, could never figure that out, not that I lost too many nights' sleep over it like.

More comments from him: He has only came out with one line about England and of course that's what they choose to focus on.

They just round up other media stories. They seem to make up a lot of their own shite as well from what I can remember.

'Tribal Football'. End of.

The racialist one, though I imagine the car sex one may be worth ten minute's viewing as well.

Crash - Can't remember if I liked this film first time round, seemed like the sort of thing I wouldn't like but it was on last night and I thought it was excellent this time round.

The official Liverpool Vs Newcastle United Arse-raping thread
ewerk replied to Jimbo's topic in Newcastle Forum
We haven't looked like there's been any sort of improvement since Keegan took over but looking at the players available yesterday I really don't think there's a whole lot I would have done different (apart from dropping Smith). I know I'm not saying anything new here but Keegan inherited a shite setup and tough fixture list, while there's been little improvement I don't think we've got any worse either. We simply have a squad full of shite players and what is even more worrying is that most of them don't look like they're playing for their futures because they fucking well should me. I'm still fairly sure that relegation won't be a problem, unfortunately it looks like most of our players feel the same. If we get this season over us I think Keegan will be making huge changes in the summer and only after a full pre-season will be begin to see the effects of his input. -

It was Moyes who got MotM. -
Again, this is the short-termism I was talking about with regards to the unions. Yes Thatcher's monetary policy coupled with the strengthening of the pound was going to cause unemployment, nowhere more so than where I'm from, but the economy was already in a poor state as it was. There was no quick fix to the problems that Thatcher faced but I'm glad she was there to stick to her guns and see it through, she was definetly the right personality at the right time.

A culture of striking had been developing in Britain prior to the winter of discontent, this was allowed to happen because of the powers given to the unions, Thatcher didn't remove the right to strike for many trades but made it a slower and more regulated process. If Thatcher had've been in power I don't think the situation would have got to the point that it did in 1979, whatever way you look at it the unions were bad for the British economy and needed taking down a peg or two.

Did Fatty Viduka sign for Leeds from Celtic?

Signed from Spain wasn't he? He was at Rangers before that though.

Complete and utter bollocks. How so? It was the power of the unions and their short-termism that ended up bringing Callaghan down and was causing huge levels of inflation. Taking on the unions and reducing their power was one of the best things Thatcher did during her premiership. Winter of miscontent 1979 miners strike 1984 Nothing really between. After This it took over a decade for workers to achiev a semblance of rights at work. All she wanted to do was give her friends free reign to make a huge profit and treat workers however they wished with impunity. The unions would have become less powerful if workers had better indiidual rights without the need to join a union. it is down to this lack of comparity that the unions flourished to end practices which for example resulted in deaths at work in many places. Throughout the 70's and early 80's the unions were constantly striking at the drop of a hat and disrupting every day life. The problem isn't with unions and their fight for workers rights in itself, it was the fact that the unions and those running them had kept trying to extend their power to the point where they wanted to dictate government policy, that was going too far and due to Labour's links with the unions they weren't in a position to adequately combat this. While I'm certainly not Thatcher's biggest fan by any means she did what had to be done in the short-term for the longer term benefits, we were the sick man of Europe before she came along and her policies sowed the seeds for future prosperity.
