Further to this, when do all the all men of TT think they are going to be able/afford to retire? I've resigned myself to it not happening before 70 if I live that long/can continue to find employment.

Don't know the show you "guys" are talking about but Meenzer makes an interesting point about the difference between English productions and other English speaking countries reality TV shows. When editing shows for broadcasters in Australia or the US of A, we, editors, are forced to make what the industry calls Frankengrabs, so taking pieces from various interviews/scenes, to create the story/drama that the production wants. Next time you watch Married at first sight or some such shite, there are multiple clues to a frankengrab, it will sound slightly robotic, the inflection between words will sound wrong or there will be a lack of natural rhythmn in the sentence - sometimes you get lucky but generally you can hear them. Visually the clues are you will see the person for only a small part of the whole time they are speaking, usually at the start, then they will cut away to reactions from others in the scene, a non-sync wide like the back of that person's head or even exteriors of where the scene is. It's manufacturing something from what is often already an extreme situation the protagonist is placed in. If you are making the same show for an English broadcaster they don't allow frankengrabs - which is the way it should be.

Let's be honest Paul Simonon is what makes TG,TB,TU, Albarn is just along for the ride.

Never saw Oasis and only saw Blur when they were first support on the JMC Rollercoaster tour at the Brixton Academy. Who would thunk the first band for Jesus and Mary Chain, Dinosaur Jr and My Bloody Valentine, turned out to be as successful as they were? Mind you in 92, they'd only released Leisure and were considered shoegaze.

Not like Scotty to listen to anything not on commercial radio/TOTP

Nope Do I look like Monkey Fist ffs? I think I was about 12 when I bought it and cream can get to fuck as well, so it's not that shite. As others have said, putting Screamadelica is just courting controversy.

Likewise, even though I wasn't tagged, only one and I doubt it's the one people think.

You lot forget, he was still Eddie's first choice when everyone was fit.

Scotty, just get them to give you a bionic ear to go with the jumper pack they put in your chest, you'll be right. Maybe see if they can give you a two for one and get that strap on implant as well. Hope it all turns out to be nothing and things right themselves. Remember if you listen to the Jesus and Mary Chain, you won't notice the tinnitus.

Been watching at bit of the Asian Cup and the Saudis look terrible. And their manager is? Manchini! On this performance, that's one less for Eddie to worry about. Klinsmann is head coach of Korean Republic as well.

It's all well and good to be excited about players going out the door but considering the team's style of play they'd want to have guaranteed replacements locked in because we cannot be selling two of the fit first-teamers in the hope of getting targets in.

Looks like Muster Dogs is on Netflix for international distribution.

Interested to see where @Ayatollah Hermione ended up with the world greatest mini golf show? Latest season of Reacher (no not the version that Fist watches) was okay for mindless shite. For quite a few years I did some video production for a students with special needs dance group/school and I was always facinated how the students on the spectrum and a couple of them were high needs kids, they would follow the camera person and watch the flip out monitor. To the point they were transfixed by it and they lost any interest in what they were meant to be doing. Because they suffer from such sensory overload, I wondered if there was any worth in studying whether a VR type setup of monitor goggles and noise cancelling headphones, could help ease some of the intensity for them? Spoke to a few people about it but it didn't go anywhere.

For the dog lovers on here, if someone in blighty is showing Muster Dogs, it's worth a watch. Only four episodes a series and the second season has only been released here recently but an observation documentary series about training working dogs.

Lol, dickhead. You'd be surprised how many of them end up in the tulips.

Season 1 EP9 was mine. Enjoy!

Nah, Jello got that one right and Nazi punks can fuck right off. No realise that, you've mentioned them before, I've not heard much but they remind me of early Split Enz. I imagine Tim Smith enjoyed the irony that the founder of the Cardiacs died from a cardiac arrest. As @PaddockLad will tell you, I'm a huge Swervedriver (not Screwdriver [nazi punks fuck off]) fan. I'd be interested to know what band Dunsy was in back in the day? And dumb question, does anyone have any pornography to actually hide away any more? Isn't it just all free on the tinterweb thing?

Gen V is decent.

Obviously BASF! @Blastronaut Dunsy mate of your's?

How(e) do we put this? Eddie is rightly the man for the job but he needs to sort out a plan B and C, if he wants to move both the club and himself into that next level. Yes the players look like they are running on empty but it appears he knows no other way than intensity is our identity. With someone like Rafa, you always knew the team could switch from an initial plan to an alternative, Eddie just hasn't shown this and it is obvious in the way he uses or more precisely, doesn't use, his substitutes. Yes injuries are a huge factor and limiting what he can do but there is no use having players on the bench if they cannot do a job - the Fulham game being an example of playing 10 men, comfortably one nil up and he still waits until the 75 minute to rotate players. Here is hoping he can turn things around but at the moment the wheels have fallen off and no one has the strength to push things home - the lack of shithousery this season is also worrying.
