Cried at The Champ when I was a bairn like. Who didn't though?

Fish is right like. You make the point about dropping butts but that's already punishable by a heavy fine and that's virtually never enforced. Probably have a alcohol ban on the parks where you take your laddie too and the same applies there too. As to the logical conclusion of things like this which you mention, i.e. only smoking in the home, I was going to make a similar point about how that's more detrimental to the health of their kids, etc. Agree about smoking in cars to the extent that people shouldn't do it but it's another one that's difficult to enforce and you shouldn't really need to legislate against that. Smoking / drinking etc. whilst pregnant / breastfeeding is worse but again I don't really think legislation would make much difference there. As with smoking in cars, the education about it as at the stage now where everybody knows the implications so it's only the absolute fucking morons who do it anyway. It smacks of popularist bollocks with little (if any) positive impact in terms of health benefits.

Wonder which paper will be the first to use the headline 'Krul Blow for Toon' or similar.

When Pardew goes end of October, who do you want as..........

Wonder what KK thinks of Pedro when he reads stuff like that. -
The only good thing about Liverpool winning he CL in 2005 is that it was the summer after he left.

Cheers, will have a look.

Not seen that but I like his blog on the beeb and the way he uses old stock footage. Will try to check those out when I have a spare hour or three.

One thing that sticks out in my mind about him is something manc-mag said when Owen was here. It was along the lines of the contempt Owen had for the club and the fans was underlined by his making absolutely no effort to say anything nice about either despite his being very media savvy. Which is why I think Owen's quite a nasty little cunt as well as being boring as fuck.

Canary Islands or Madeira maybe? Not been to the latter but the boss has a place there and it's pretty much mid-20s all the year round I think. I'd choose the resort carefully in the Canaries though as some of them are Charvsville, USA (in Tenerife and Gran Canaria anyway).
-
I can't remember who said only boring people get bored but it certainly applies to Owen. He makes CT look sophisticated.

Only just read about Mark Bell dying last week. RIP http://www.theguardian.com/music/musicblog/2014/oct/14/lfo-mark-bell-10-essential-tracks-warp-bjork-radiohead

Photos of Steve Hillage from back then are a bit of a giveaway too.

@@RedfernMag Interesting read that. Cheers.

You can't prove a negative, as the saying goes.

Aye, it is. One of the Sky Arts channels is more high brow with opera and the like and the other one is more stuff like the doc I was on about.

There was a canny programme on the Beeb last month about the making of Rumours. http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00nq7q9

The group stages of the finals themselves will be daft too, with four out of the six third placed teams going through to the last sixteen knock-out phase.
-
I have little doubt they're largely a bunch of cunts who deserve to die but I certainly don't buy the argument being put about by the likes of Cameron that they're a huge threat to the UK. Funny how there's money for this but not the NHS pay rise recommended by an independent body as well.
-
Classic moment that. Ironically it took all of the tension out of the situation as reality struck home that England weren't going to be at the World Cup (even if the goal itself had no actual impact on that).
-
Also, you can argue we're even better supported than the mackems in relative terms when looking at match day attendances if there are no free tickets being given to ex-players. And we all know how important that is.
-
Think Fish has a point re: the damned if you do, damned if you don't argument about the scoreline, but the performance in the first half in particular by England was shit considering the opposition (even allowing for their tactics). The qualifying for this tournament is a joke as well. It's something like 23 teams (plus the hosts) out of 50-odd will make it to the finals. I think the best 3rd place team gets through then the others meet each other in playoffs or something like that.

Good job their faces were painted white, otherwise they'd all be dead.

How often do Thompson House scotch their own rumours btw?
