I spotted Bernard Hill in the Lowestoft Pizza Hut a couple of days ago.

Well said, I feel very positive following last night's result and performance, there were many plus points, but having supported Newcastle for this long, you know its never a forgone conculsion, had we won 4-0 lastnight it would be a different matter, but the truth is AZ have a strong foothold in the match thanks to their 2 away goals.

Getting the 64bit version was a massive mistake, all drivers need to be digitally asigned, to be honest there are a lot of nice little touches that I like but on the whole its not a quantum leap from XP, if you can get a free version then I'd recommend it, other than that keep your money in your pocket until its a minimum requirement. Yeah I was not going to be spending money on it but I thought for free why not. My flat mate was telling me the 64 bit was a bit a nightmare because of the digitally assigning malarkey. Mine is still downloading at the moment, might be finished by the time I get home from uni the morrow. What are these nice features you like the most? I have a habit of skipping through things and finding out a couple of months down the line someone that's pretty useful. The gadget sidebar is quite nice Preview thumbnail's of minimised taskbar windows Aero desktop is nice but a bit of a gimick Vista found 99% of the drivers for my devices itself and set them all up without any prompting as soon as I connected my PC to my router. Hard drive space is displayed for each drive when viewing "My Computer" Each screen on "My Computer" has a burn icon handy for saving to disc, which now also supports DVD DVD builder is awesome for creating your own DVD's But to be perfectly honest, I don't believe any of the features are truely groundbreaking, most can be described as "Nice" rather than "Essential".

Aye Taylor didn't move his arm at all, it was a classic example of ball to hand. -
Are you still vegetarian Jimbo? I can't imagine doing without chicken, beef and pork products. No, I was allowed to make my own choice regarding food, although I think I could be vegetarian without too much hassle, I just enjoy eating meat too much.

Anyone watched any of these shows yet ??? Caught the killing of the pigs lastnight, I was brought up as a vegetarian but found the slaughter of the pigs in the last episode surprisingly civilised, was expeciting a far more basic and brutal killing, Although I found the acceptance of the vet's assumption of the pigs being euthnaised with the electric shock a little too easily accepted for my liking.

Newcastle v AZ Alkmaar Uefa Cup last 16, first leg Date: Thursday 8 March Kick off: 1930 GMT Venue: St James' Park Newcastle have been boosted by the return of midfielder Emre (calf) and full-back Stephen Carr (thigh). Damien Duff is in the squad after missing the goalless derby with Middlesbrough with a virus, but Oguchi Onyewu is ineligible. Craig Moore (hamstring) is back in training but not yet ready to return against AZ Alkmaar. Celestine Babayaro and Peter Ramage (both hamstring), Michael Owen (knee) and Shola Ameobi (hip) are still out. Newcastle from: Given, Harper, Carr, Solano, Edgar, Taylor, Bramble, Huntington, Butt, Parker, Milner, Duff, Emre, Pattison, Troisi, Martins, Dyer, Sibierski, Luque, Carroll, LuaLua. # Newcastle boss Glenn Roeder: "I'm delighted to have Stephen Carr and Emre back in the squad, whether they start the game or not. "Emre is a big player. He's played in the Champions League and for Turkey too - that will count for a lot. "It's the same with Stephen. He's played a lot of European football and it's nice to start getting the senior players back. SCOUTING REPORT ON THE OPPOSITION Who are they? This is the second coming of the club, which is now in its 40th year. AZ won the Eredivisie title in 1981 but things went downhill from there before they hit the heights again with promotion to the top flight in 1998. They are still awaiting a second title, but have stayed in the top flight ever since challenging the big boys of Dutch football. Recent form: An attractive footballing outfit under the tutelage of former Barcelona and Holland coach Louis van Gaal, they have been in the Eredivise's top three all season and climbed into second with a 4-0 weekend win at Utrecht. They are now unbeaten in 11 games in all competitions and have not lost in this Uefa Cup campaign. European record: In each of their guises as a top-class club they have enjoyed good runs in the Uefa Cup. In 1981 a team featuring Johnny Metgod reached the final, where they lost 5-4 on aggregate to Ipswich, and 14 years on they managed a place in the last four where they went down on away goals to Sporting Lisbon. More recently they lost to Real Betis in the first knock-out round 12 months ago, having drawn 0-0 with Middlesbrough in the group stages. How did they get here? The Dutch system of European qualification is a bit different to England's so despite finishing second in the table they missed out on a place in the Champions League to Ajax in an end-of-season eliminator. So the Uefa Cup it was and they have done very well, winning four and drawing four. They saw off Kayserispor, of Turkey, to reach the group stages, where their most notable scalp was that of La Liga leaders Sevilla in Spain, before an away goals victory over Fenerbahce in the last round. Ones to watch: They have the best attack in the competition and goal number 21 came courtesy of defender Barry Opdam, who scored four minutes from time against Fenerbahce to seal their progress to this stage. Former Rangers striker and AZ skipper Shota Arveladze has scored five of those goals, but when it comes to Eredivisie goal-getting he trails fellow striker Danny Koevermans, who has notched 19 times from 21 starts. That form has earned him a call up to Marco van Basten's national squad for the forthcoming Euro 2008 qualifiers along with defensive trio Opdam, Tim de Cler and Kew Jaliens and midfielder Demy de Zeeuw. Did you know? Van Gaal started out his managerial career at AZ before joining Ajax where won the Uefa Cup in 1992 and the Champions League in 1995. He has faced Newcastle before as Barcelona coach but lost on his only visit to St James' Park in a 3-2 thriller in 1997 when Faustino Asprilla scored a hat-trick in a Magpies team that featured present-day keeper Shay Given. They say: "There will be plenty of goals across the two matches, and we are superior in that aspect. But the key to the game will be in defence, and I have more confidence in AZ there too." Louis van Gaal, AZ coach

One glance and the Eredivisie Table tells me you're wrong.

I keep getting sacked with Newcastle so I've opted for AC Milan, 8 point penalty at the start of the season, its now January and I've climbed up to 6th so far.

Films that you should have seen but havent...
Jimbo replied to Holden McGroin's topic in General Chat
I would honestly advise you to see at least the first of both of those series of movies, First Blood and Rocky are excellent in my opinion. -
