National lampoons Christmas vacation.

I think it's a fucking outrage that the poorest boroughs in London, like newham, are getting bigger cuts to council funding than the more desirable areas like Richmond. It's pretty obvious which area needs the money more. It looks to me like a vindictive attack by the government against a borough that voted labour

to be honest mate, if the mcg is another featherbed like the first two tests i fancy us to retain the urn as our bowling attack is better than yours. if it's a lively pitch (unlikely but they're bound to try to prepare one with a lot of grass on it after perth) then you guys are in with a shout as the occasion could still get to the frail minds of our side. at the end of the day they're english and they're playing under pressure to do something that hasn't been achieved for a generation. with that in mind, it's very likely it could still go tits up for us. looking it on paper though, i still fancy our chances, especially if we go for bresnan over colly and promote bell to number 5. prior is a more than capable number 6 and bresnan can sling his willow at number 7 while sharing the workload with the other seamers and taking the pressure off swann to tie up an end.

it's his massive wages they want off the bill. in the summer i'd have said it would have been a good move but his performances this season show he can still do it at the highest level. if we sell him, it should be for more than £1.5m and we would have to be bringing in a better player to replace him with.

Nani has had a good season tbf. He's got me loads of points in fantasy football

he's still playing though. seems silly if you ask me.

I've got a lot of time for becks but there's no way he deserves that lifetime award at 35

What's the outlook up north? I'm supposed to be driving home for Xmas from London on Wednesday. Not sure if I fancy it all of a sudden

WTF?

Wonders what a tv make up artist and stylist will do for you I thought stella deserved it in the end. Thought she was going to blow it like that poloma lass when she started banging on about being more passionate than Chris.

Thank fuck. There is a club called Infernos where the girls often want to go, before they're shouted down. They keep saying that it's great because it's shit... Ironic nights out man, lost on me. Late night boozer, where you can talk and not have to shout, where you can have a dance if you want and where you're not paying through the nose for a drink. That's my bag daddio Is that the place in clapham? I think i went there about 5 years ago actually. Had one drink then fucked off to brixton - it was awful. Looked like the kind of place where'd you'd have to consider cutting it off if you didn't end up pulling.

I'm looking forward to seeing this kid play for us. I don't think signing this kind of player in the way we did shows a lack of ambition. If he turns out to be as good as some say he is it could be a shrewd move. Problem is this kind of buy need to be complimented by more established players coming in too, and we're still well short on that front

Don't think Charlie Adam is better than we've got in centre mid. I'd be looking at getting in a pacey front man, some cover at left back and a midfielder with pace and skill that can play inside or out wide. I'm buggered if I know who those players are on our budget though.

Xx album is awesome. Lives up to all the hype if you ask me. I was less impressed with the arcade fire album. The new kanye west album is canny.

I was a fan of serious clubbing back in the day. Im pretty much too old for that kind of thing now though still get out every now and again. More into going to a late night boozer these days then back to someones gaff for a late one if there's class as kicking about. I haven't been to a cheesy club in years. Probably legends or somewhere back home. Not that many cheesey clubs down here.

I was a zx spectrum man myself

The form of Barton and Nolan after the relegation season has been a massive boost. They both looked like they were finished but Nolan has carried his goals from the championship into the top flight and Barton is a player reborn i thought we'd do well to shift him pre season but he's been class. High point for me was Chelsea away in the cup. I haven't been to a game like that in years. Low point was without a doubt the hughton sacking.

running man. dated as fuck but still canny

electric razors are for homos

fed up. house sale/purchase looks like falling through. pregnant wife stressed out about not knowing where we're going to be living with two months to go until baby comes. weather rubbish, england struggling in the cricket. all i need now is a loss to birmingham to complete a fairly shit weekend

morrisey is a twat but they did some great tunes

well that's this test gone. roll on melborne. england's batters proving yet again that they're no good on a bouncy wicket that offers something for the bowlers. credit to australia though. only pietersen's wicket was a really cheap one. another failure from collingwood. i wonder whether they might look to morgan to come in at 6 and bump bell up to 5.

bye bye gooners. the others have got a god chance of getting through

2 albums that scream college years to me. same. that finlay quaye album was a great one for bunning weed and playing cham man to
