Was that not the same time as the whole sting thing. Yeah. I got confused between the sting and the Lörrach escapade. Although, to be fair, our Smoothy probably does that quite a lot anyway.

To continue the veiled euphemism theme, maybe it was the day Smooth Operator sent photos of his "cock" to a bunch of random blokes.

Mine's called "INCOMING!!".

Yeah, in a "this could be TERRORISM... oh but it's not" kind of way.

Not a caption, but it pisses me off how keepers get away with coming out with their foot forward like that. If a striker did that, they'd be booked. Best one yet

Man? Hobbits would smack you for calling him one of them. Son of Gollum maybe. Bit harsh on Gemmill really. Less of the cheek, Opik! Föök öff

"No, lads, it's Y-M-C-A"

Agreed, he seems a right twat.

Shirley that would be 'cult of wanting to be a celebrity' No it isn't and don't call me Surely. Better.

I'm jealous of his line in subtle and understated tattoo art.

Well exactly, that's the challenge faced by any organisation representing a minority group, ensuring that they don't become "anti-majority" as a matter of principle. It doesn't mean that all such organisations are divisive and counter-productive by definition, nor should the majority (whatever that may be) feel automatically threatened by their existence, but as Gemmill says it does depend on the people involved and whether they can argue the toss without coming across as militant, unrealistic or just plain daft.

Necessitated as a result of the police being a racist organisation I would say. and further division and alienation being the solution, GREAT. By that logic, no minority group should ever be allowed to acknowledge itself as such. My comment was suggesting that should a "White Police Federation" have been set up it would be instantly branded racist, however a black version has clearly been tolerated, a racially themed group does little to enhance unity, and is another barrier in my opinion. Just out of interest, does your objection to minority groups having representation, identification and a forum to debate the issues specific to their circumstances only apply to race-based minorities, or is it an across-the-board thing? It just seems laced with paranoia somehow.

This office I'm working in today and tomorrow is right by the main railway station, with elevated tracks running outside the window. I keep getting distracted and watching the pretty trains go by. I seem to have regressed to being a 6-year-old.

You're a honey. And so very, very right.

Don't know what the weather's going to be like tomorrow, by the way, but it's grey and damp here today.

Leaving tonight, working in Offenbach for a few days. Won't be in Frankfurt till gone 6pm on matchday, but that'll do for a few drinks. Sachsenhausen is probably best for pubs and that, but not on a direct train line to the ground, so it depends how much time you want to leave yourself really.

'Pregnant' man fined in SA court A South African man has been fined $140 for taking a week off work, telling his employers he was pregnant. Charles Sibindana, 27, stole a certificate from a clinic during his pregnant girlfriend's checkup, a court near Johannesburg heard. He then added his own details to the note and submitted it and took seven days off work, seemingly unaware that only women consult gynaecologists. His employers became suspicious and investigated the matter. On passing sentence Magistrate Bruno Van Eeden warned Mr Sibindana "not to walk around faking sick letters from gynaecologists" as if he was pregnant, the South African Press Association news agency reported.

Lene Marlin - My Love A wee bit intimate and wistful for lunchtime listening, but what the heck.

I suppose there must be, but everyone's so body-obsessed that there's no reason to generalise like that when you could be talking about specifics. Incessantly and in gruesome detail. I enjoy delaying penetration till they are shivering with want. With buff men? Oh I see I've jumped in at the wrong moment. There's never a wrong moment to turn to the dark side.

Aye, yous lot do tend to be canny buff like. You sound a bit dismissive of it all though. Do you prefer a bear then, Martin? Definitely not a bearhugger like. A normal-looking bloke who knows how to look after himself a bit but isn't body-obsessed is fine by me (and it's not like I'm in any position to demand much ). But apparently this makes me strange and unusual in homo circles. Figure that one out.
