Renton

Where the fuck is Hermitage?

How do you know he's not? If you are Gemmill, happy funeral mate. Otherwise I wish you well in your telecom advert career.

I thought Hughton's tactics were overly negative for this game. If we get promoted, which is surely odds on now, it greatly concerns me that he will likely be kept on. We will have no chance in the top flight imo. I also thought the match was a bit flat considering we has over a third of the stadium and it was just before christmas. Also what can you say about Barnsley? What an utterly depressing place to live. I liked the fans I met though, good bunch of lads.

I think the best prediction is that population will rise to about 9 billion by 2040. Still a problem like.

Ranger!!!!!

Might do it if I was working away and had an afternoon or evening to kill. Cinema is ultimately a solo activity anyway so who cares if you are alone? Eating alone I absolutely hate however.

Interested to hear more on this one. Gonna be levied against the company giving the bonus rather than the individual. I thought I read the banks had already started rewarding their people with 150% pay hikes instead though. Or did I dream it? We need a much higher top tax rate to handle that n'arl.

Milk is only a very short-term answer, the stomach will actually produce more acid within 90 minutes of drinking milk than normal. Water is better even though milk gives immediate relief. Water can make it worse in the short term as well though by spreading the pain around. Anybody that eats 'Curry Hell' or similar deserves all they get. One of my old mates was taken into hospital in agony after eating two thalis in the same day, daft twat.

True. I was really just wanting to say that statements which start 'The Germans are....' can actually hold a lot of truth. As it does for other countries inclusing ourselves. Oh aye, I know that's what you were saying. This isn't rocket science tbh. Something the Germans are traditionally good at, incidentally. I can remember the exact moment that my relationship with my first German manager deteriorated. He used to take the piss out of the English quite a lot, always asking me if i was having fish and chips when we were out for dinner (in Spain, or France the cheeky sausage-muncher). Anyway, he'd been at it during this dinner in Barcelona and then in the taxi afterwards he started going on about how beautiful it was, how amaxing Paris was and how shit London was in comparison. I knew he was on the wind-up so i replied 'well if you lot hadnt spent 76 nights bombing it am sure it would be a lot more beautiful today. A bit like Coventry'. An awkward silence like that, i have never enjoyed so much. The cheek of a German slagging off London. Not much gothic architecture left in Berlin or Dresden either.

Cheers i'll have a nosey at the menu and see if they do it. Edit> just googled that, i tried that on a stag do in Edinburgh in a nice indian we went to, i think they called it "butter chicken" was sort of like a spicy(well not to spicy) tomato base to it, was nice seeing as i like Italian best. Jesus wept man get a jalfrezie down you. Butter chicken ffs. nothing to do with them being hot, just hate the taste.. I don't like mayo either, but i bet you love it...all white and creamy eh? I was joking to an extent. Nothing worse than a curry bragger. Still, spicey food is an acquired taste to an extent (not many kids like it). You run the risk of depriving yourself of some of the nicest food around by being fussy really.

Am I right in my scanning of this thread that Parky believes there is a genetic compnonent involved in these cultural differences though? Classic Parky bollocks if this is what he is inferring.

That and Malayan is the most vile creation known to mankind, and certainly not worthy of the label curry. Watch you don't get diabetes from it.

Aye. You don't like Seinfeld. I know. But for those that do, nearly 40 DVDs for £35 is, as the thread says, an unbelievable offer.

I'd rather watch repeats of Take the High Road, that sit through 12 hours of that pathetic American bollocks.` That's cos you're a daft cunt. A cunt Stevie may be, but he is so fucking right when it comes to Seinfield. Couldn't agree more. 10 minutes of those smug looking twats cracking on and I'd attack the telly with a baseball bat. You're not supposed to like the characters. That's kind of the point. Brilliant series, but of its time. Enjoying the reunion on curb at the moment though. Just bought the entire box set of all the series, plus extras, for £35 from Play.com. Unbelievable deal.

He should have just shortened it to Cunt, frigging idiot Reminds me of the Mark Hunt telephone prank in trainspotting. Anyway, what a total freak. Pickled onion are much nicer than roast beef.

yeah, and................. And do you oppose our democratic process? Btw, the same rules apply to the tories! Would you like to see a directly elected president of the UK or Europe? The latter obviously couldn't work but the former may have legs if we abolish the monarchy. I reckon you'd like nothing better Renton! you already know my thoughts on G.Brown and especially on how he came to power. and i'm not really certain you can call it a 'democratic' process anymore unfortunately. never mind, we shall all grow old safe in the knowledge that people we dont know, have never heard of and we have no choice but to accept are taking care of us! This geezer you posted the pic of is the least of our problem. The fact that the vast majority of UK voters who actually bother to vote (don't know about the rest of europe), haven't got a fuckin' clue about their local MEP is laughable imo. Have you? No, but I would. Oh, you mean have knowledge of my MEP! No, I am more than happy to admit to not knowing a scooby do who he, or she, is; what their policies are, or their history of voting in europe. That's why I see the whole shebang (sp) as laughable - given the power they have. Aye, me neither. I know the makeup of North Tyneside MEPs but don't know their names. I'm not convinced they have much real power at all though, and I'm really not arsed about the micropolitics of it.

agreed - the Swiss are parasites - they never do anything, join anything, start anything. They live by hiding cash stolen from poor folk all over the world - a nation based on fencing stolen goods IMHO Hey now! The Red Cross? LSD? The Rickenbacher guitar? Toblerone? I've never been but intend to visit Switzerland next year, apparently they have some canny mountains there.

Not talking about me watching them am I..? I'm talking about the amount of airtime it seems to be taking up and is a country with the worst food in Europe really suddently so interested in cooking??!!! Is it fuck the worst food in Europe. It's arguably the best food in Europe now, iirc London has more Michelin star restaurants than Paris. We benefit from not having a very strong national cuisine and importing other countries foods. I've has some truely woeful food abroad as well as really nice stuff. As for German food, well, come on. We definitely have better baked beans: FACT.

Using that argument you could argue Brown was elected with 0.075% of the UK votes.

It's my favourite out of the five series. 90% of people prefer the Germany one, not me. No chance, the first series was far superior. Although each episode of AP1 was stand alone, it formed a continuous tale reminiscent of the brilliant Whatever Happened to the Likely Lads. The second series failed to do this meaning it only made sense if you watched it in chronological order. And it was set in two locations which made it feel even more disjointed. Also, AP1 had better guest actors and was just more funny in general. AP2 doesn't even make sense towards the end, the plot went to shit when Gary Holton (Wayne) died and they had to resort to using body doubles and making Oz take his part. It just didn't work. That said, I liked them both, but only the first series was a true classic imo.

Getting a serious sense of Deja vu here. Didn't you post something nearly identical to this a few months ago?
