  1. Sorry if this has already been done: Sir Paul McCartney was recently asked in an interview "would you consider going down on one knee again in the future"? "I would prefer it if you called her Heather if you don't mind" was the reply.
  2. Straight out of the Les Dawson book of mother-in-law gags. Once you've got your speech finalised, make some crib sheets up with each gag on, and just use them to jog your memory, make sure you get plenty of dutch courage too, it helped me !
  3. I was a best man a couple of years ago and the advice I can try and give is that the best man's speech should be the highlight of the reception, leave the emotional stuff to the father of the bride, your speech should be about entertainment. One good tip I was given was along with the one-liners, look at the horoscope of the bride and groom for the day and try and get some humour from that, also look at famous events from history from the day and incorperate that into some gags too. I've found a copy of my speech, feel free to nick any of the naff gags I used.
  4. Thats what I did, I waited until it was under £200, plus you get a chance to see how many games for that console you like.
  5. Thats the full version, there is a cheaper version with fewer features.
  6. Its only a preorder though isn't it.
  7. Gladiator? Walk The Line? You really are a fucking retard Brock. 149581[/snapback] Gladiator is the exception. A.I., Village, Ruskies, Signs. 149625[/snapback] He was brilliant in Space Camp !
  8. Agreed, Russell Brand is superb, I like him. My punch list: Dane Bowers Sven Goran Eriksson Cliff Richard Peter Andre Gordon Ramsay Michael Barrymore Paul Danan Shane Ritchie Hugh Grant Tim Henman
  9. Bet Jimbo was an expert at the old 100 metres joystick-waggle. 149172[/snapback] To be honest I usually peaked at about 35 metres !
  10. Red Hot Chili Peppers - Blood Sugar Sex Magic
  11. Surely even you can't crack one out over that, Jimbo? 148932[/snapback] its the allure........
  12. Still playing a lot of FM 2006, but have become addicted to Battlefield 2, I can't put it down now !
  13. The England Keepers kit c1996 was terrible.
  14. Use Windows explorer, press the windows key and E at the same time and it will magically appear. If you explore your folders using that and you will get them listed in text form in the address bar at the top.
  15. You wouldn't be saying that if you had lived in the States as long as I have and had to watch the miserably slow growth of the sport and suffer the lack of news in the media and the newspapers. I'm hoping they do well in order to invigorate more interest here. 145745[/snapback] I think our commentators for the USA games should be equipped with a variety of comedy sound effects to be used whenever a USA player makes a hash of something. Also they should be referred to as 'The Hurricanes' and not the USA, after that shit american 'soccer' cartoon. 145908[/snapback] remember that, it was indeed well shite. There's never been a quality footie cartoon made. 145913[/snapback] This is a new one that my kids watch: Galactik Football
  16. Nope, didn't make the squad. Personally I'll be hoping the USA get knocked out as soon as possible, one of the many joy's of football for me is that the USA have little crediblity in it !! They should stick to world championships where they are the only country represented like Baseball and American Football.
  17. It's because people like the BNP use St Georges Cross and people have come to associate it with them and racism. Which I think is a shame as it is admitting defeat, and basically surrendering the flag to them. The most annoying part of this story is the bit in bold - these suggestions are always made by middle class white people, who think on the minorities' behalf. Which is patronising, and arguably (and indeed ironically) racist. 144634[/snapback] Agreed, in cases of political correctness such as this, how many times has a complaint ever been made by the "minority" ? Very rarely I would argue. 144636[/snapback] I hate to be pedantic, and I've mentioned this before, but this is not a case of political correctness. Political correctness is actually a good thing, it means for example that it's illegal not to employ black people because of the colour of their skin. Flying your own nation's flag is politically correct, it's idiotic rulings like this that make people believe political correctness is a bad thing. 144640[/snapback] There are examples both good and bad for Political correctness, whilst it is shown in a bad light in most examples there are elements and examples where it is clear common sense, however, as it was mentioned before, especially when it is implemented with a veiw to discourage people from displaying national identities for the sake of suposidly offending ethnic minorities, its a case of clear stupidity and an insult to those who's heritage is in that nation.
