No Fosters was shit for years before they started brewing it in Ingerlund.

No Jimbo, that was just because they needed proof how big a wanker you need to be to drive a Voyager

If you lived in Sydney it's a sure sign you're fucked and there is a nice little surprise on its way to you in the mail. But you don't live in Sydney so maybe he just liked the look of your car,

For a country that drinks so much of it, English beer is, on the whole, absolutely fucking rank. There's the odd small producer doing ok stuff (still tends to be a bland imitation of continental styles) and, imo, 'real ale' is awful. Even the Aussies and the Americans have some decent smaller breweries doing very drinkable pale ales and pilsners and so on. Zip it, pissflaps. I love real Ale, there are some cracking little brewerys local to me, Adnams, Oulton and Moultons are the pick of the bunch, I've got a few bottles of Adnams broadside in the fridge for tonight. Hefe-weizen, trappist bier or bust.

My blue bin dipper mate says we're in for a pasting and I hate it when he's correct!

He can't know that many people as he couldn't even get me St Pauli tickets! So Parky know any kino owners in Hamburg?

These guys http://twopaddocks.com/ use to make one of the best pinot noirs but they had a change of winemakers a couple of years ago and it's not as good, still very drinkable. The vineyard is owned by Sam Neill. The best pinot noir I've ever had is from these guys in Tasmania, http://www.providence-vineyards.com.au/ it's impossible to buy as it usually sells out quickly but I've noticed they have some at the moment. Had a really nice Marchese Antinori Chianti Classico Riserva 2004 the other night with the world's best anti pasta.

Out of interest how much does Ashley pay? I'm with you on that Pud. I was actually thinking the other day the clubs PR budget must be growing by the day with the number of people they must have actually trawling and posting on toon forums. You'd think morally there should be an element of disclosure on their behalf but then I remembered it's Ashley ham fisted mob and chances are they just want to punch us in the face anyway.

No wonder you're so evasive about your vocation. You're one of those fellas who hangs round the entrance to Sternschanze S-Bahn with a pack of dogs and an empty coffee cup for collecting the spare euro-cents, aren't you? Hard to get a pitch near Sternchanze these days. There's only that one guys at Stephanplatz U-Bahn, three entrances and a better quality of euro so you need too relocate. Plus the ballet totty would be worth the effort.

Saw Davis Guggehheim's 'It might get loud' at it's European premiere, attended by the director and The Edge. It was ok. The stories of Jimmy Page, the Edge and Jack White in a guitar lead extravaganza. I don't know, maybe I'm just jealous as that was the festival's choice for the music doc but things like their kine's were average, there was obviously a huge budget, 5m US I'd guess but not a lot of substance. It sort of went nowhere other than a jam style cresendo towards the end. The main thing I got from it is Jimmy and Jack come out of it as complete tossers, the edge less so but maybe that's because we expect him to be anyway.

True enough and they'll probably be sacked in time for Hiddink to join after the 2010 World Cup anyway. Really the only solution is for Roman to do his badges and get stuck in.

Was Dave Mitchell there before or after he played his one game for us?

Could see it until the end of the season. That's what's rumoured... They want to wait so they can 'get their man'. That suggests Hiddink to me But Hiddink won't be available until the 10/11 season. He's the Russian coach isn't he? What nationality is Abramovich again? They'll find a way. Craig rumour has it that Abramovich is actually paying his wage. The thing about Hiddink is after the PSV & Australia managing both he said he'd never do both again - it was to hard pleasing both masters. And Hiddink if nothing else is good for his word.

Baraka - a brand new 70mm print presented by one of the producers. Interesting enough when asked about the viability of costs for productions on 70mm dismissed digital alternatives but then admitted to editing on a final cut pro system!!! The Shock Doctrine - by the same guys that did 'Road to Guantanemo.' After the screening one of the audience during the q&a accused them of making a propaganda film. In some ways he was right, the film speaks at you, actually it literally speaks at you with a voice over for 75 of the 80 minutes. It goes to the extreme using the most horrific images it can to back up its line of thought, Naomi Klein's book/theory, but doesn't offer any insight into questioning her theories - it expects you to take them as gospel. It also targets the wrong market - there is no use convincing the educated middle class that Bush and the like did what they did for ulterior motives, we know that.

I seem to remember it was fat man's alleged final say on all transfers that fucked us on MON joining us. We really have been a joke for a long time now haven't we?

Chances are he only answered any questions that were signed to him because obviously he's a deaf mute.

Geordie Lad, Toontastics very own Captain Sensible... "Happy talkin', talkin Happy talk Talk about things you'd like to do You've got to have a dream If you don't have a dream How you gonna have a dream come true" At least Captain Sensible understood the irony of what he sung.

FFS! Geordie lad, when you go see Santa before Christmas this year can you tell him I'd like a new bike as well?

As much as I hate the bloke comparing him to Hitler is a tad harsh Yeah you're probably right. How about Pol Pot? And we can't use Stalin as he never spoke to anybody!

Seriously you think a naff ditty will be more effective that t-shirts? For once J69 is correct, boycotting a game or making a similar type protest - turning one's back or going into the ground ten minutes after kickoff, is the only way to make a noticeable protest.

"Sorry I was wrong and a cunt. I'm fucking off, here have the club and let it be run by a supporter elected committee. Oh and Lonsdale is shite." Dream on dreamer Sorry I thought I was geordie lad there for a moment
