Happy Face

winds me up when they report a death toll immediately after shit like this. They started with 32 yesterday...hourly updates and they're at 600....we all know the total is going to dwarf that...why the fuck report such blatantly low confirmed numbers. Treating it like a fucking live score update. Just wait until full time cos the numbers now are meaningless.

Can I be ball boy? Never did it when I was little and the current ones are shit.

I don't agree that collecting benefits means you can't protest war. We collectively as a society pay benefits, 20 rich white people decided to invade middle eastern contries. that's probably not what you were saying, but it's late

you only missed off what it is that the retarded muslims are protesting. Like most of the press reports of it did too. Hardly doing their cause amy good. They should dress as superheros and climb famous attractions. Regarding the action of the burning of the poppies, are you 'relaxed' about it ? Nope. Seems to me a total arsehole move. The Wesboro baptist church pull similarly fucked up, headline grabbing, twattish moves when they picket the funerals of returning dead soldiers in the US, I think they're a bunch of vile twats too, and the law in the US is much more lenient on their freedom to be such fucks. I've a fairly consistent view of how they should be punished though....as public disorder offenses when they go too far. Perhaps not. Personally I see them pretty similarly though. As an atheist I see all religious sensitivity as preposterous. They're all deluded fucks who need to grow up and stop believing in fairies. I recognise we have cultural differences....but I'm not jingoistic enough to feel passionately that my culture should trample any others...or vice versa. I don't see how anyone can be relaxed about Koran burning and apopleptic about poppy burning and insist the law should be enshrined to react more harshly to one than the other.

the punishment should fit the crime and his fate should be decided by the relatives of everybody who has lost a son in Afghanistan and Iraq, having been invited to burn a poppy in front of them before they cast judgement. The very definition of the punishment fitting the crime. Maybe this is a result of your lax attitude to koran burning Leazes... sorry like, but what a load of anti west drivel. Do you seriously think burning a book [however important it is to them] is more "insulting" than flying aeroplanes into buildings ? Difficult to believe what I'm reading here. Your false equivalence apart (no-one charged with burning koran's or poppy's has killed anyone have they?) isn't this pretty much the same sort of thing? How do you fancy Koran burners sentences decided by muslims? in a muslim country ? At your peril......... You'd prefer our laws were more muslimesque?

exactly. I expected the "anti-west" brigade to come out here or maybe they just disagree with me for the sake of it as usual. It's quite clear that shitbags like this aren't "British" like me and you, nor do they have a place in our society. Expected KSA to have a bit more to say I must admit. I've not disagreed with you. Just shown that you disagree with you.

Apparently I've lost 8lb in the 310 days since I was last on Wii fit. 13 and a half stone now, think it's down to less booze. Only really been drinking on a matchday. Still 6 foot 4 though.

Bodes well

Just got me Sufjan Stevens tickets. Bonobo's on at the Sage in April too.....in two minds.

yeah, I really liked it The first 3 were canny...but the final part was a total let down. Running around in fancy dress like a bunch of mentals...it was totally unbelievable. And i like an open ending....but they might has well have finished it when they were barricaded in the house...nothing whatsoever was resolved. the whole thing was unbelievable. surely no collection of lads could be that stupid. you'd just go to the rozzers straight away. i thought it was very entertaining though. best british drama series i've seen for a while. we don't do much stuff with as high production values as that. They saw what happened to those poor McCann's

yeah, I really liked it What side was it on Gents? Sky 1 the trailer had a lovely bit of blart in a swimming costume and a motorcycle helmet with a pump action rifle in her hand...that drew me in...but she never made an appearance

When there's a doubt about the outcome, no trial.

Just listening to the new album for the first time. Got tickets to see them at the (fucking) arena next week. Why the hell are they moving up to the stadium venues when they've stripped their sound back so much? Seems like a lot of sparse piano to be filling bigger venues. Even when they do get going it's a much more weedy rhythym than the huge sounds on their last album. A lot more snare than bass drum this time around if you get me. Would have loved them to do stage one at The Sage instead.

Just been looking at the chalkboard heatmap at the guardian. 34% of our play down the left quarter of the pitch. 11% down the right quarter.

The backing off once we're in the shit is bad enough, but the worst part of his game is getting us in the shit in the first place with his complete abandonment of defensive/positional duties. So much so that 20 minutes in half the people around me were still arguing with me insisting that we were playing wing backs and Taylor was in the middle. They wouldn't believe me when i assured them he was supposed to be our right back cover, because he'd been in that position so infrequently.

Find it odd that you big him up to such an extent when he looks decidedley inexperienced and unsure a lot of the time....wheras you slate Ranger at every opportunirty as not ready to move up into the first team when it's exactly the opposite way round. Taxi drivers dilemma I suppose.

dream scenario This is also my hope as well! This. similair to what happened with Robbie Keane Has Robbie Keane been a good buy for Spurs this time around? Think he's cost them about a million pound per goal since he went back.

My twat scale, starting with the most twatty... Andy Carroll Michael Owen Robbie Savage Derek Llambias Mike Ashley How would you rank those twats?

Did anyone else watch Mad Dogs? Sweep baby jesus and the orphans!
