Renton

You live in a back lane? Poor Sod. 70804[/snapback] emm no, the clue was in the 'while working home' 70813[/snapback] Aye, working from home. Do you have a WiFi connection or what?

Chicken tbh 70741[/snapback] Are you having xmas dinner with the smug twat like? 70747[/snapback] Was a reference to 'choking' the chicken tbh. I wouldnt have dinner with him like, you wouldnt get so much as a fucking mouthful. 70748[/snapback] Who could say 'no' to a christmas dinner of tinned spaghetti and a bottle of Lambrusco... 70807[/snapback] He pushes the boat out and cracks open the White Zinfandel at Xmas 70810[/snapback] Whereas Isegrim unscrews his best bottle of Blue Nun Liebfraumilch.

In a public toilet? 70806[/snapback] More than likely in the Goose.

On a related note, I fucking hate scruffs who don't wash their hands. I know that will apply to most here, because you see it all the time - about 80% of people I reckon. I appreciate you haven't pissed on them, but it's touched your cock you horrible bastids! As for people who take a dump and don't wash their hands, you literally make me sick.

I wasn't aware she took a dump like. And still won as well, impressive stuff.

70788[/snapback] Cheer up man kiddah 70789[/snapback] Got 4 hours of general studies, not to be cheerful about. 70791[/snapback] Luxury. I've got a 35 page form on the NHS agenda for change to fill out.

Bainbridge (Lewis's) is also nice, practically a pleasure. Worst I've encountered is the Goose, some people are fucking animals!

Shit thread or thread about shit or both?

I can't if anyone else is in the toilets, especially an adjacent cubicle. Plus they tend to be horrible squalid places. Tip: always bring some tissues with you just in case.

Everbody knows the last day is a complete doss anyway; I actually like it. And I get paid for a full day but leave at lunch time. Then I'm off until the 4th of January!

I missed later incarnations of Rebel Star (except Rebel Star Raiders 2) like laser quest; never really played Lords of Chaos (hope it wasn't as dull as Tir na Nog or Dun Darach). Rebel Star 2 player was simply amazing though, the most perfectly balanced game ever. And the detail! How the hell did they fit it into 48K? I remember using Captain Kreenon to kill "Mike" with a lawn mower! Coffe machines increased endurance, but you needed coffee tokens. The moonbase was also huge with loads of individual people, robots and weapons....... I played it on an emulator recently and still enjoyed it, even though I got my arse kicked. As for the DS, I very much hope and expect there will be on in my stocking with a copy of Advanced wars DS....

A skiing sim/Frogger clone irrc. My God games were shit back then, why did we bother?

FIFA '97 was luxury man, I remember Match Day on the Spectrum! It took 5 minutes to load as well.

Rainbow islands was the sequel to Bubble Bobble, which was one of the greatest arcade games of all time, imo probably the greatest of all. But tbh I don't think the crappy 8-bit computers of the time could do these games justice - Bubble Bobble on the Spectrum was shit. Best game ever on the Spectrum, and the most amazing use of memory in history, has to be Rebel Star.

I never said Alex Kidd was anything but camper than a field of tents. As for the hockey comment, take it back. It's the season to show goodwill to others. 70610[/snapback] OK, I'm sorry, I take it back as it's Christmas.

Who? 70413[/snapback] Obviously you were a Nintendo whore as a kid. Alex Kidd was the game built into the Master System 2. Actually I liked both SEGA and Nintendo consules, although I never owned a NES or SNES. I used to swap my Mega Drive with my mates SNES for a couple of months. NHLPA Hockey 93, best game on Mega Drive. FACT. 70602[/snapback] Alex Kidd was gay: FACT. And hockey games are for homs: FACT.

I don't think anybody thought it was a game at any stage really, apart from the cernts at The S*n perhaps. As an aside, I read somewhere that we may well have lost the Falklands War had all the Argentinian bombs that landed on British ships actually exploded. 70586[/snapback] First I've heard of that. We would have struggled without American intelligence though.

Oh, and Renton, you've got me wrong. I don't want Chelsea to win things, I just don't see how people can moan about them spending money when they're only doing what every other club before them has done. 70280[/snapback] No other club has had a bottemless pit of money to fund their transfers. Even ManUre at their peak were relatively constrained in their spending. This is typical of Chelsea fans (or their admirers such as yourself) and one of the reasons I don't like them - their blanket refusal to admit that their circumstances are different, and are where they are merely through good management and playing well. 70386[/snapback] I think everyone knows full well that before Chelsea were bought they were close to going bankrupt; so obviously the circumstances are a little different. It would have also been impossible to attract Mourinho without the cash input. However, what is the difference between Man United buying Rooney, Van Nistelrooy, Ronaldo, Ferdinand, Saha for multi-millions and Chelsea buying Wright-Phillips, Robben, Drogba, Cavalho, Del Horno for the same? Chelsea's best two players this season were there before Abromovich. 70503[/snapback] ManU operate on the basis of profit, according to their means, which is related to their fan base. They have financial limits they can't go above. The same is true of NUFC, Liverpool, Arsenal, in fact virtually all clubs. Chelsea make a loss, but this doesn't matter because they are bank rolled by a billionaire who uses them as a play thing. They partly offset this by charging extortionate ticket prices, which travelling fans have to pay. Why they bother doing this I don't know, the money is a drop in the ocean for them. There is no limit to who they can buy, they have proved ultimately that money is the most powerful lure in football, and have caused inflation of signing fees at a time when they were just coming down. Really Gol, I'm sure you know fine well what the difference is between ManU and Chelsea, or us and Chelsea for that matter. I regard them as a cancer in the game, one which won't kill it, but will do it a lot of harm. As I've said, I'm sure a lot of true Chelsea fans will also see this. 70504[/snapback] So it's all down to how they got their money, rather than what they do with it? What has that got to do with football then? What harm are they actually doing? (serious question, as I see so many people saying it, but nobody proving what the effect is) 70505[/snapback] They have inflated transfer fees. They are ripping off fans. But worst of all, they have made the premiership uncompetitive, because it's simply impossible to compete on equal terms with a side who can play 22 world class players, with a genius manager. This in turn has simply made the premiership boring. If you know who's going to win it, what's the point? There can never be a completely level playing field, but howay, this is shite.

I wasn't aware he had a problem tbh. Wasn't he their best player? Says it all I guess.

Well, you just lurved San Francisco, didn't you? 70463[/snapback] Aye but not as much as you would. Best city ever tbh. 70466[/snapback] I'd quite like to go (for non gay reasons) but I still think Europe is a more pleasent place than the States. Boston's canny though, but then again, it's practically English.

Well, you just lurved San Francisco, didn't you?

Going to the dogs quite frankly. I fear what it will be like in 20 years when it loses it's only super power status.

Give me fish and chips over pickled cabbage any day. 70450[/snapback] You can be a right twat sometimes. 70452[/snapback] And a charv who says he loves Italian food but is eating tinned spaghetti... 70455[/snapback] Brilliant comeback. England 1: Germany 1
