Dr Gloom

it's a challenge. getting in a combination of the albums you listened to the most at the time, a mix of different genres you were into and the ones that still stand up today. i could easily do another five or six versions of that list depending on metrics.

blue lines and screamadellica just missed out on my top ten.

the only manics album i really liked.

where's yours?

the whole attack on the the 'benefit culture' really boils me tits too. does anyone really think the majority of people that are on benefits want to be on benefits? it's madness. here's a little secret - being on benefits when you have to worry about rising food and fuel prices is not fun for the majority. hardly the life of riley the daily mail would have you believe. and they're not the ones that created the financial crisis. just an easy scapegoat to make pay for it now.

the tories really are prolonging the misery. and there isn't a plan b. plan b seems to be more of plan a. if the medicine isn't working, let's not bother changing it - let's just have some more. i think what's really going on is the tories are taking this opportunity to try to rewrite the social contract that was established when the the nhs was formed in 1948. and it there's a good chance they might get away with as the public might not notice until it's too late. but let's be clear - a decade of cuts will impact everyone. the middle classes will be start sharing the pain before long. and they keep saying we're all in this together but then go after the poorest in society with more cuts to the welfare state. they're cunts basically. thatcher summed them all up when she said there's no such thing as society. that's the way these privileged toffs all think. i was born into wealth so why should i give a shit about the man born into poverty?

at least someone's laughing

really not easy to break it down to just 10 but here's my best effort nirvana - nevermind orbital - the brown album pavement - slanted and enchanted dj shadow - endtroducing tribe called quest - midnight marauders the prodigy - experience blur - parklife nas - ilmatic coldcut - journeys by dj leftfield - leftism

this kind of thread takes some serious thought and consideration. i'll mull it over and return

A truly horrendous budget update from Osborne. Yet another extra year of austerity. We will still be paying the price for the financial crisis of 2008 in 2018! This savage brand of austerity isn't working, growth forecasts have been revised down and now economists are predicting a triple dip recession. Osborne knows he has some political leverage by going after the 'benefit scrounges' but this relentless and savage austerity will eventually start hurting middle income families. And the points Labour have been making all along since Brown was PM about the dangers of cutting so quickly might hit home with key swing voters just in time for the next election. The irony about the deficit not rising as predicted is Osborne is banking the money from the 4g spectrum sale - which hasn't even happened yet!

Agree. They were canny. Her solo stuff was dull

And football. And cooking. And losing weight. And spending fuck loads of money on hobbies that last 5 minutes.

FT and Indy only papers not to splash with this non story. The guardian and times devoted their ENTIRE front pages. Honestly, who gives a fuck?

so basically CT, it looks like you're the only one that thinks he's finished. what a surprise

never has a player needed a few goals more. he's a confidence player. i can can see him having having plenty of dry spells like this and plenty of runs like last season when everything he touches end up in the back of the net. badly needs a goal now though. some of his efforts when well placed last night were very poor. he just seemed to want to get his shot away as soon as possible every time he had a chance.

agreed. he's generally been a top performer for us since signing despite there being obvious limitations to his game in terms of crossing. it's all very well knocking him but at the moment we don't have anyone better in that position, and we look a poorer team when he's out of the side.

Down there with your Ben Arfa posts from last season

C

Oh. And Marveaux I thought did very well. Very encouraging given injury to Ben Arfa

Positives - Anita, Bigi and Jonas all played well. Negatives - Cisse still looks like his confidence is shot. Got himself into some decent positions but blazed most of his chances. Still lacking the clinical composure we saw last season. Definitely a confidence player. He'll need to step it up if Ba is out for a while.

what's your excuse for posting with that username?

anything he touched las season hit the back of the net. right, foot, left foot the lot

cisse would have buried that last season

Aye, chebs oot or your a fake LBT account

The Master will almost certainly be self indulgent, over acted and way too long. Most critics will fawn and most audiences will leave, scratching their heads.
