"One of my friends" eh? Sounds like he means a bit more than that to you tbh.

We should set up a Tony Horne wind-up phone call where he rings HTT live on Metro and pretends to be Hitzfeld, complete with crappy German accent. He could tell HTT that he wanted him to be the first to know that he WILL be Newcastle's next boss, and listen as HTT simultaneously filled his kegs and tried to start a thread on N-O.

Worst case scenario is a strangulated hernia but we'll not go into that.... 94615[/snapback] Please do.

By the way, criminal negligence from catmag as the first medical person "on the scene" who failed to diagnose an umbilical hernia. Lawsuit pending tbh.

Sounds nasty. One thing is sure - peasepud is gonna love reading this when he gets back on.

Dump her then DON'T tell her boyfriend tbh.

Ahhh, Renton. Always the one for drama. That's mah boy! 94594[/snapback] No drama about it, I'm being serious. It sounds like an umbilical hernia to me, and if it's not treated, he could have serious problems with it. 94603[/snapback] "....before you wake up and your guts are slipping out of a hole in your abdomen." Nah, no drama there like.

Hold the phones lads. I'm getting word through that this is NOT THE SAME John Robertson.

Ahhh, Renton. Always the one for drama. That's mah boy!

Don't you think there's more of smoking culture in Britain though? Especially Working Mens Clubs? I was going to pop down there last night to see the chairs flying through the windows after the vote. The place is a tabbers haven, it seems like everyone in there smokes apart from a small handfull. They recently brought about a rule where they banned smoking at the bar and there was fucking hell on! Still, it will be nice to sup my pint in there without feeling like I've had a packet of tabs myself. By the way Gemmill, how bad was it when you worked in the bookies? Far worse for smoke in there than pubs imo, them were the days I needed two showers after 7 hours of working in smoke! 94571[/snapback] Presumably he went to bed stinking of smoke, as he showers in the morning. 94574[/snapback] Wrong. I did used to go to bed stinking of smoke, but that's because I worked in a nightclub AFTER the bookies and wasn't about to come home and wake myself up by having a shower at 3 or 4am. SLP, it was disgusting working in the bookies. I used to get minging headaches because of the smoke - the state of some of the people you used to get in there though. There was this old biddy called Pat who had literally no fingernails left cos she'd bitten them completely off whilst nervously awaiting the result of her 3pence tricast on the dogs. She came in when we opened the doors, and she left when we closed having spent probably 50 pence all day. I'm not sure about a smoking culture in the US vs. here. By the time I got there the ban was already well underway so you didn't really see what it was like before then. I get what you're saying about working men's clubs and that, but (as a non-smoker obviously) I see it as a good thing. It'll hopefully discourage kids from getting into tabbing in the first place, if they can't do it in pubs, although probably not cos they'll be addicted by the time they graduate from the bus shelter.

You forgot "the wheel", old-timer.

Fancy her boyfriend turning up on Valentine's day! Wullie mate, get rid. If she's not prepared to finish with him then you're wasting your time. A lad with your sunny demeanour and zest for life should be able to get a new lass in no time.

Our new boss might be able to make a player of Viana. He sounded interested for a bit in coming back until Souness didn't give him the "put an arm around him" treatment when we played them in the UEFA. Hopefully one of the newly promoted teams will foolishly think that Nicky Butt is the sort of player they need. It would be good to see his career in freefall - serves him right, as far as I'm concerned it was him that decided we were beneath him and his performances demonstrated that, the little get.

I'd give him a game this weekend and give Shola the day off tbh. With 3 games in a week coming up it might be worth it, and makes sense to give him a go against Championship defenders to maybe build his confidence a bit.

aaaaaaaalan's being ruuuuuuude.

High five? 94412[/snapback] only with others that don't get things spectacularly wrong Anyway, too American for me 94413[/snapback] *sheepishly lowers his hand, grin slipping from his face, and skulks away*

He's found his knob tbh.

Who was it that said that "having a no-smoking area in a restaurant is like having a no-pissing section in a swimming pool". No smoking sections don't work cos the stuff gets everywhere and stinks the place out. FACT! Having lived in California where a no-smoking ban has been passed and works absolutely fine, I don't see how people think that this is "unenforceable". If someone smokes, they get chucked out. Simple as that. Admittedly it's a bit more pleasant in California to duck outside for a tab cos it's rarely lashing down, but that's the smoker's choice I'm afraid. I'm all for the ban personally - non-smokers will be amazed what a difference it makes to go to a pub that doesn't absolutely reek of smoke, and to be able to come home with your clothes not absolutely minging of the stuff. Being out with smokers doesn't bother me because you take it as given that there are going to be people smoking, but I really noticed it at first when I came back from America. I'm looking forward to it. And if you smoke and you aren't, tough.

It was forced out by that massive beer gut of yours.

It's Valentine's Day - he'll be doing all that pink and fluffy romantic stuff. 94426[/snapback] Brown and fluffy.

High five?

Nah, I think it's fair enough banning him. He's got fuck all worthwhile to say and he's a racist little cock. Good decision if he's gone IMO. Let's get a muslim in to replace him - that would really piss him off.

The campaign has died. The forum just disappeared before my very eyes - threads were going as fast as people were posting them, and now it's all gone.

Oh the hollow yet familiar ring of truth :weep: 94120[/snapback] Leave it![/Frank Butcher]
