Even screwed on home/away terms too - Chelski, Norwich and Stoke all no doubt happy to play us at SJP, while City, shite and cherries would all relish home advantage. Cursed.

I learnt from the master :razz:

Aye, proper laid back this place. I've seen Arab's get a better reception at a bahmitzva than I've seen people get here for saying the sort of things I was back in the window, which were hardly controversial (and entirely predictable, otherwise I wouldn't have said it with such conviction). So excuse me if I take a little time to enjoy being proven right. I do apologise though, it's not right to push someone so far that they'll actually come out with this sort of juvenile shit by way of reply. I mean, it must really piss other people off on here that they have to actually read what is basically primary school level stuff.

Hell no. Smugness only properly translates face to face. I'll give him that look you give a bairn when he's just puked up after eating three choc-ices in a row and you told him not to and that he'd be a feckin eejit not to listen.

I wouldn't even joke about it......[rest of post redacted by FBI due to ongoing investigation into corruption in British football]

Agreed. Would make us look like tits, again, plus it would cost in compo. Best not to throw good money after bad. Even better not to waste that money in the first place....

Awwww, we lost. I did not see that coming. Much. I shall try not to remind the one person I know left who still goes to the match of what I told them around 2pm.

Excellent comeback. I forgot what a force you were. I had better up my game. Enjoying the match btw? Remind me, what were your general themes over the window? Other than trying to wind me up, did you actually say anything of substance re. the prospects of the club under McClaren and the turned corner of Fat Mikes' revelation? Be honest now....you know I like taking the piss out of you enough to go look for that comedy gold.....

Bullshit you plastic jock. I've been right more times than you've had porridge for dinner. Just be a man and admit it.

The fuck kind of logic is this?

Said who? I just took a sabbatical....all gets a bit samey on here after a while.

I feel sorry for the people who insisted to me during the window that McLaren was a decent enough coach that if he got a bit of backing from Fat Mike we'd at the very least perform better than we did under Pardew. I told them that they didn't know what the fuck they were talking about, that there was nothing in McLaren's record to support that hypothesis, that there was nothing in Penfold's record to support that hypothesis, that there was nothing in Fat Mike's record to support that hypothesis, and you were all simply doing what Fat Mike wanted by letting blind hope convince you that signing up for another season of this shit just because we stayed in the top flight was somehow a good way of spending a football season. Fuck me. I refuse to even go to the bother of faffing on with a stream to watch this shit. As for going to the pub - hell the fuck no - who wants that depression in their lives? This is enough to induce alcoholism, and I'm old enough to know that being pissed off and pissed is not a good look for me (tends to lead to encounters with Northumbria's finest) Stick Smokey and the Bandit on instead, keep boycotting this basket case of a club, and just hope that we will be relegated this season to hopefully persuade Fat Mike that there's no future in owning the club, and if he doesn't go, console yourself he at least won't be making money hand over fist out of turning us into a national joke on the biggest stage of all. It's our only hope. Mark my words. I've been proven right so many times on here it's not even funny anymore.

This cunt is breeding? That's not legal, surely.....Genetic Purity Act 2014?

It's all Millibands fault, to my total non-surprise. I knew he'd changed the voting rules, but I had no clue about this: http://www.spectator.co.uk/features/9605572/labour-always-lurches-left-when-it-loses-but-this-time-is-worse/ (second is the disaster of changing the way leaders are elected) One thing nobody seems to be mentioning is this - if he wins, then the country will potentially be faced with choosing a Labour leader who proposed to embark on the most sweeping reforms since Thatcher Thatcher milk snatcher, but he's be 70 years old! He'll be nodding off in his very first cabinet meeting, surely?

You'd need a single gas sensor in the roof (or two, for redundancy), to detect the acidic airborne compounds that would quickly fill the inside of a cab soon after it's been puked in or pissed on. It would cost nowt, never need maintenance/calibration (since the difference between puke air and clean air isn't exactly small, chemically), and vandals probably even spot it, let alone know what it was for.

Somehow they managed to create a 4 page thread on Joey Barton even though the original post said nothing about Sunderland at all, and nothing about Newcastle either. That's obsession.

Or, y'know, sensors?

The thing about Clause 4 is though, everything that made nationalised industries unpopular (poor quality goods made at over-inflated prices, if they were being made at all due to overly powerful unions) has largely been corrected by globalisation and the weakening of the unions. Therefore, a sensible politician could make a case that in certain cases (i.e. steel) where Britain is getting an inordinate kicking on the global stage and the industry has worthwhile fixed assets (infrastructure and skills), that a re-nationalisation could bring the benefits of state ownership without the pitfalls. I rather think Corbyn though is not thinking in these terms at all though.

So, he did a press interview in which he said he'd like to reinstate Clause 4, either the original or an updated version. When it gets a predictably negative response, his office releases a statement saying he never said he wanted to reinstate the original Clause 4. How's that different to any other mainstream politician?

Nothing that smells like a freshly microwaved Rustlers burger can ever be classified as food. And I suspect the saddest thing about that grilled cheese in a box is that the "American" probably doesn't mean it's from the US, it means the cheese of the tasteless American variety, so you're getting a microwaveable sandwich with a tastless rubber filling, voiding the only nice thing about at toastie. I heard the lad from cheesepostie on the radio to today - that defo isn't for CT, it's for Lahndon ponces like Fish - people willing to pay £4 to have the ingredients of a toastie posted to you, so you can assemble it and then toast it. And it's not a normal toastie, it's using 'artisan' bread and 'fusion' flavours (chocolate and sweaty sock etc).

If the Premier League announced something like this in the next few years, for the sole aim of ensuring every game was available on live TV, would you protest? 1 game Friday night 4 games Saturday - 12 noon, 2pm, 4pm, 6pm 4 games Sunday - 12 noon, 2pm, 4pm, 6pm 1 game Monday night I gotta say, I'm in two minds. Given the introduction of the Friday game for this season, it's not like it would be a major departure from what's been allowed to happen so far thanks to the weakness of the FA and the impotence of the FSF in standing up for the footballing traditions of this country. It's basically moving one more game to Sunday and changing the times of the remaining four on Sat. And this would at least allow games to be scheduled to take into account travelling times for away fans, if not totally then at least to more of an extent than now (basically none it seems). It would also eliminate the problem of fixtures being moved after they've been published (at least not for the wrong reasons anyway, games would still need to be moved based on how cup/euro competitions progress).

Sounds like another revenue stream to me - since you'll never be able to skip a fare in a driverless cab, they'll always know whose piss/vomit it is, so they'll send them a hefty bill in the post, and hand it off to the collection agency if they don't pay. The soiled cab simply drives back to the depot and gets washed (presumably using an automatic system). Be back on the road in half an hour, with the cleaning bill easily covering the cost of it being off the road.

28 pages? Is there owt in here worth reading, or is it all just CT being a tit and others reacting?

The day that conversation died.

I've done it all, me. Worked shifts, flexi, 9-5, 9-6, 8-4, on call, on-site, and even piece-work. I've busted my hump for extra credit and I've worked to rule. I've even had the luxury of not needing a job for long enough that anyone would need to find their self. And I can honestly say none of that shit matters if you actually view work as merely the exchange of your time for money in the pocket. If I die tomorrow I know what my death bed regret will be.....never being my own boss.
