I see what you did their

:icon_lol: When I saw the name, I tried to think of summat funny. I couldn't have come up with anything near as good as the comments already made. Welcome. Just watch your back.

I respect your passionate defence of it, but it's the same movement in the same place all of the time. Like sex in one position for 20 years. Nothing changes and you can't get that excited about it nee more. I'll never be able to see it's beauty in the same way, you Jonny and Nick can. Plus they've nicked we are the loyalest cricket supporters the world has ever had off us. 1 v 11 sports mmm there's a 1 v 100 in Kazakhstan called chase the jew. Stevie, for what I know, you have a stressful job at times and have targets to meet. I am confident that if you were to sit next to Johnny at a cricket match, have a few beers with him, having the game explained to you bit by bit (not all, because it's impossible to learn all the minutiae in one game) you would see it in a different light. Cricket is a game where you can step off the world, and totally relax.

You're right, Besty, and I really struggle to 'enjoy' the football-type chanting that goes on these days, though I fully recognise the new generation thing and that's how the game is going to go. I can't stop it. For example, shouting 'You're getting sacked in the morning' to the Australian cricket captain (even if it was Clarke, standing in for Ponting) was just too much for me. But that's because I'm old. Cricket was the national sport. Since the 60's, cricket following has declined due to it being perceived as slow and boring, whilst thrill-a-second, mega-stress, must-have, quick-fix, throw-away society has mushroomed. Coincidence? I think not.

Okay, Stevie, you hooked me For me, it's the greatest game ever invented. It's really far too complex a game to give an easy explanation of why it's so good. One quick question though, is can you tell me any other sports where, when the bowler lets go the ball, there are 11 v 1 ? Hey, you might be able to tell me of one, and fair do's if you can, but I can't think of one. Cricket is a game to be able to leave the maddening world behind. Step off the hurdy-gurdy (sp) of this manic, stress-related existance we have these days and chill out to it. Leather on willow. Magic. I really wish I could convince you, and others, as to how good it is, but I doubt anyone could. I've been watching it since the late 60's and seen some shocking play by England over the years, but would never go off it as cricket (the game) is almost (there have been some nasty goings-on from time to time) the winner every time, regardless of which team wins. Love it. Even when it's raining and play has stopped, I love listening to the cricket talk on TMS. I don't like cricket, Oh no, I love it, Yeah

It was too interesting a question for him. Because I have that twat on ignore, I failed to spot the 'attempt' at mimicking him. And, as you say, it was an enticing question

What is FCB? fuck you too Ignore him. Heia Norge!

Who, in your opinion, is the best striker you've seen at NUFC, in your lifetime, in terms of value for money? Cole. Has to be. What did we pay for him, 1.75m ?

Can someone do a photoshop of Ferguson holding a sign saying 'I'm not Paul Wynn.' please. It would make an old man very happy

Would it be too much to ask Parsnip to get things right in the first half, rather than wait 'til half time so he can give yet another of these 'good half time team talk' that I keep reading about? Merci, Alain, there's a bon homme.

Which one are you? The 8 ball in the orange shirt taking the shot; the fat lad who's scared to be hit by the ball, or the kid who looks 10 in the goal who's been given the green jersey 'cause it was either that or no game?

Sounds like a dire game. However, it is just the game we really wanted early on in the season - against willing opponents, which we overcame. How many times do we see the bigger clubs struggle against lowly opposition to then go on to do well in a competition? Plenty. We'll go far in this. I seem to recall some sage predicting we'd win the thing, now then, who was it again?

I haven't missed hearing from him one bit. Pity the rest of them can't keep their gobs shut a bit more often. That goes for the 'pundits' also. More football - less talk.

I found the 'hammers fans more sophisticated' comment most amusing Cigarette holders for their tabs 'n'everything.

Said that to my colleagues today. The bloke looks like he doesn't eat enough chocolate iyam. Let tha be a warning to you all.

How much would you charge, Haz, and, more importantly, do you have the required letters after your name?

The prosecution rests, m'lud

She's not bad. But from what I could see on the website there's only one pic of her (no full frontals or owt). Have to say, though, that all this letters after the name malarky does my head in. What are folk trying to prove? The hubby has BA Hons First Class after his name and she has BA Hons then a load of letters, which presumably means she didn't get First Class but has joined some poxy organisation to get the letters to follow her name? Anyway, all these photographers are fucking charlatans iyam*. There are just as good, if not better, folk on here - judging by some of the pics we've seen posted. I wouldn't entertain the vast majority of the professionals if it were up to me. However, it aint, the services of one such charlatan has been booked (I couldn't honestly tell you who), so I just keep on dancing. Thanks anyway for the recommendation (to everyone). * eg I've seen pics from one wedding and one photo was of the bride's shoes (not being worn, I might add) on a chair with some crappy necklace draped over them. What the fuck is that all about? Unadulterated (expensive) bullshit. This is a prime example of this country going down the toilet. Folk who are no better than you or I having stupid letters after their name in an attempt to bullshit the masses. Well you can't bullshit a bullshitter. These folk then expect to be paid in the thousands for something not worth more than a couple of hundred quid - at best. Yes they have a little talent, but it is not worth the amount they are charging. Rant over

I always try to order from a guy. Much more trustworthy.

Were you going as a pirate or a princess? The folk holding the event probably got wind it was CT coming. "Oh, er, there's a powercut. It's off. Bye" *door slams and shouts of 'ahoy me hearties' ring out*

Hmmm, I must give that another go in the next few weeks. I wasn't struck on it at all when I saw it the first time.

Sorry, M, but you're getting a for that. Any more errant nonesense and you'll be sent to bed without tea or supper!

This is truly a masterstroke. The same person who openly claims to not know whether a formation has been changed, that blindly believes what the 'media' says is apparently a savant when it comes to judging the talent of players, regardless of the fact that everyone knew that the player had the talent but was yet to show it here on a consistent basis. The same savant who blew the trumpet of Lua Lua after probably seeing less than a game of him actually playing just because there was an accompanying fluff piece talking up his talents. Did the same in relation to Ferguson filling in at left back. Thanks for the laugh. Buttfuck is sooo last year dahling. Today's word is savant! Love it. Never heard it before, but it's a good one.

I can't help get the feeling LardAsh is trying to play one club against the other i.e. attempting to frighten them both so one club will eventually fold due to the pressure of missing out on a decent sale. Problem is, the fat fuck doesn't realise that neither team want to sell, so will quite happily continue to tell him to 'do one' (in their own respective languages of course) until the window has shut. 23:30 on the last day of the transfer window: NUFC contact Citeh (best supported club in the history of football. Fact) about getting Bridge on loan. Citeh, due to the lack of time, know the desparate position NUFC are in, now have the fat man by the plums and tell him 'Okay, but you'll have to stump up most of his exhorbitant salary.' We know what LardAsh will say to that!!
