By the way, you'll probably find the Make-Crap Model-Shite DVD player is already set to zone 0 because when they come straight out of china/korea/taiwan the manufacturer isn't usually concerned about what zone it is going to spend it's life in, more did he put the right power plug on it for that country.

The Aussies will be fuming OOOH them Why you! *stands feet and slaps head*

Hank (Stevie) is it really worth all the grief?

Tipped to be top of the list as the new Australia manager. Thank fuck he can't transfer Jenas into the team!

That is extremely tragic and may he rest in peace but for fuck sake an insect bite! If that was the case it would be a common disease/issue for the population here and it's not. Not saying this is the case but a person would have more chance of suffering from neurological disease after catching Syphilis from some dirt backpacker.

Can I just point out for as good as Martins is he did fuck all against Lucas Neill and three other defenders who ply their trade either on the bench for their club or in Australia's national league which is the equivilant of about fizz pop 2. One man not maketh the team.

You absolutely can argue that, because it's absolutely true. At the same time, though, "pop" music has been largely dead in this country for the last few years as the wave of dull guitar bands with "The" in their name has taken hold, so I have no problem with the mainstream success of a lass who can sing a bit and has some decent pop tunes, however manufactured her profile may be. It's a lovely thought that we should all discover music organically and not be dictated to by radio stations, record companies etc., but it's not like things work that way in any other part of our lives, really - we buy from supermarkets, we drive cars from companies we've heard of rather than clunking around in some Bulgarian rustbucket, we follow peer pressure in a way that isn't substantially different to outside "marketing". And besides, most of the people who rant about OMG ÜBERMARKETED MUSIC would be devastated if the record industry as we know it disappeared overnight and everyone was forced to muscle in on their "I was there first" badge of discovering bands and singers as soon as they pop out of the womb, or whatever it is they do that makes them so much superior to your average, regular consumer. There's no point in being "indie" if there's no mainstream to rebel against, is there? You make fair points mate, but by your own admission the "pop" in this country has been poor, and there has been a disturbing trend towards throwing the weight of the PR machine behind anyone who ticks the boxes of "Alternative". I saw that "Unsigned" thing on T4 over the weekend and there was a judge who summed it up quite well and though I paraphrase I'll try and get what he said down properly. "You have the gift of reality, many bands try to be, where as you just are." My point being that although many guitar bands wear the clothes and strut the swagger under the banner of"indie", few of them actually are. I'd wager many are as manufactured as the pop bands I love to hate. I afford those bands as much gravity as I would the next X-Factor winner. I don't mind pop, this isn't a rant against pop, it's a rant against creating false Gods in mediocre singers who's only gift is bestowed upon them by Simon Cowel and Louis Walsh. Watched a documentary on The Saints last night (arguably the first punk band to release a record with (I'm) Stranded in 1976). Anyway the amazing thing was these guys came from Brisbane and after they pressed their single they sent it to everyone and anyone in the UK, Europe and the States resulting with NME, Melody Maker and the rest of the English music press raving about this new, great punk band and with EMI in England rushing to sign them before someone else got them. Now you have to remember the great punk movement was all about rebelling against everything, including the music industry and yet once these guys actually travelled to England to play some shows, the press, the fans and their record company all changed their tune because they didn't buy their clothes from Malcolm McClaren's shop, they didn't spit at their audience, they didn't have piercings or mohawks, they wore average clothes, grew their hair to shoulder length as a reaction to the punk style and although they were generally obnoxious and agressive didn't piss on their equipment or the few fans they had. And yet because they didn't fit the mould, in the eyes of the press they weren't punk after all! Indie, pop, EMO, etc, it doesn't matter what the genre; once a record label becomes involved there becomes a look. Pearl Jam was Sony's response to Nirvana, The Pet Shop Boys were SAW response to the 80s camp dance scene, James Bl©unt is some fucking A&R idiot's response to some other talentless shit, it goes round and round and round.

Bullshit you'll just skulk off for a week or two and then be back spouting the same brainless moronic shit you always do. It's not as if you've got a history of being honourable and owning up to being wrong is it now?

True and obviously people actually voted for Bush. Maybe Stalin was correct after all!

PR machine and radio done good, you mean. True, it's a right bind when you go to HMV for the new Einstürzende Neubauten CD and those industry bastards swap it for a pop album when you're not looking. Popularity is no measure of artistic merit. But it generally can't be achieved without it. People buy their music because they like the sound of it, not because they've been told to like it. Leona was marketed the same as other past winners were, yet hasn't flopped in their style as she actually has talent. Excellent, I can't wait for that duet with kid cock or james bl©unt

He's the head coach and he gets to decide the substitutions from the players we the owners have picked for him.

Sorry Scotland but welcome to the world cup quarter final.

Wacky's obviously taken all the elasticity out of your sphincter through over use.

FYP

I got the same result for us but with citeh 3rd, chelski 4th and the village of the damned in 17th.

But who the fuck in their right mind would pay for wacky??? As it has been stated Owen's not the player he was and all those who argued he would return to his previous form after having an ACL reconstruction really don't understand the severity of the operation. I've been trying to think of a player with pace who has returned to the game after an acl operation and still been as quick and I'm afraid I can't. Those that return only succeed if there are other aspects to their game. Owen unlike say Shearer, whose game included physical strength, looks like he's not only lost his pace but also the strength in his shot. What's that leave EMO? The ability to be a poacher? And that's not enough and of little use to NUFC and their current style of football.

Most DVD players will play all region dvds but you have to know how to reset the region system. Try google.

Come on snakey, what have you got?

speed.

Missed tackle? He was going for the wrong ball if that was a missed tackle.

Yeh il try and borrow some disc world books off my brother. Or just tell him to take them round. He's spending most of his time listening to planet rock radio at the moment Ah he cant use the PC though. Doctors orders. I know, but without a PC I do nothing. Yeh i know Il try and get something sorted. Steven Hawkings must have an old computer lying around the house.

I'm ok about the team but worried about the fact they've only bought 51% when the whole idea was to own the club outright. Can see us paying them dividends of 35 quid each season regardless of how much money is actually coming in.
