i guess you're right about the rugger buggers but i still think towns like leeds and newcastle have a small town mentality - you get clowns who go out on a friday to pull and if they don't manage it then kicking off with some random is the next best thing. you don't get that in london, at least not in my experience. you only find these sort of radges in the outskirts of london - places like croydon for example. from my experience of boozing in different places down the years, i'm far less likely to have some pissed up radge start a fight with me over nothing in london than i am in towns like newcastle, sheffield, leeds, nottingham, bristol etc. no one has ever picked a fight with me in a london bar. people go on about how dangerous places like brixton and hackney are but it's only the gangs shooting each other. the chances of someone kicking off in a bar are slim. Typical Londoner, if you're from anywhere else you have a 'small' town mentality. i'm a geordie and lived in newcastle for 18 years. love the place and still get back home whenever i can. but when out boozing in newcastle (and this goes for other small towns too) i often get the feeling that someone is liable to smash a pint glass over my head if i look at them in the wrong way. i've never felt that threatened boozing in london. disclaimer - i avoid the likes of croydon.

it'll be a bloody big mark

great film. but then what cohen borthers effort isn't?

WOD is definitely worth watching if you have it but I would definitely recomend Paris Texas if you've not seen that yet. Quite possibly the best film I've seen this year. now paris texas is an absolute belter. one of the most visually beautiful films i've ever seen and an amazing soundtrack from ry cooder.

not sure about that make though people. i bought a "red" portable dvd player a few years ago for £70 from tesco instead of spending the extra £100 on a quality brand and it promptly packed in. never again....only the likes of sony/panasonic/pinoneer for me now when it comes to tvs etc

This happened in Leeds btw and London is hardly devoid of violent crime. the majority of violent crime in london is largely gangs shooting each other over drugs. or chavs beating each other up in places like croydon and stratford....again small town mentality. the same goes for leeds imo. i got started on minding my own business by hyde park when i was a student.

move to london is my advice. i haven't come close to any trouble in the 8 years i've lived here and yet the last time i was out on the lash back home someone tried kicking off with me. small town mentality tbh

welcome to our clique

i enjoyed it

a classic. got to love the expressions bob hoskins pulls in the final scene when he's sat in the the back of the car knowing he's going to get whacked.

i loved it. a real head fuck, like most of gilliam's efforts.

fuck off man

no doubt we'll be on the receiving end of a backlash

How are you ? good. what happened to you? this place has been a little dull in your absence. nowhere near enough 15+page threads about freddie shepherd

fuck off.

from the kings road to blyth. must have been a bit of a culture shock

not exactly a vote of confidence from the dotcom boys, and they tend to capture the mood pretty well

decent appointment for the rams

at least he's good for something

Thought this was going to be about Duff. who?

i was one of the few on this board that backed robson when shepherd was making a fool of himself with the bambi comments. we'd finished 5th, which was disappointing compared with previous seasons but it was still a relative success. you just have to look where we are now to see that. imagine being so pissed off that we booed the lap of honour because we just missed out on the 4th champions league spot. we'll do well to finish in the top half this year...

if this board is any true relection of general mood among our support i'd say those that wanted robson to stay were in the minority.
