or just to punch them, that one comes up for me a lot And me. Like just suddenly smacking them one out of nowhere. This also applies a little to myself.. say for example, when the metro is pulling into the station I sometimes wonder how the other people on the platform would react if I just threw myself in front of it. I'm not going to top myself btw. For me it's not so much wanting to hit someone, just wanting to see the reaction it gets. I reckon quite often it would result in me getting sacked so I don't bother, but it's so hard to resist pushing the annoying ginger twat down the stairs most of the time so now that he's on crutches it requires so much will power.

Graham Dorrans was playing at Livingston when WBA signed him. I think he's a decent squad player for Premiership level. There are a few decent players in Scotland outside of Glasgow. Steven Fletcher only cost £3m from Hibs (iirc) and he's scored 7 in a poor team and looked fairly decent imo. I thought Fletcher even looked poor at Hibs whenever I saw him although he won me £160 with a header that hit his shoulder against Rangers or Hearts one time not so long ago. Good point regarding Dorrans however, difficult to think of many more since 2000 though. I'll throw in McFadden and Gordon to get the ball rolling.

cris looked awful against us for bayer leverkusen in the champions league. iirc wasn't it shola running rings around him? I was on about Boumsong. Haven't seen enough of Cris really to comment. I've said similar before but Boumsong would rather face someone like Henry, who he played well against a couple of times for us iirc, when Henry was at or near his peak as well than some big lump like Geoff Horsfield or even Shearer when he was effectively past it. I don't think Boumsong is a great defender but he's pretty decent as far as continental football goes. yeah i got that. just thought i'd throw in a comment on cris too. boumsong looked dire at all levels for us tbf. Not when he first arrived he didn't. A lot of that was down to Bramble though. I think what I'm getting at is stick him up against pacy forwards with movement and he doesn't have a problem but against a big strong lad he does. His confidence was shot to pieces towards the end as well. Not saying he wasn't poor overall for us because he obviously was. Definitely a bit of Souness doing Rangers a favour as well I think. He was dire in his first game for us. Against Yeading ffs.

Cause its 2010 and most are dropping the kids off on the way to work to earn money and pay taxes towards your retirement. Car goes to work. Kids walk to school.

Sky is by far away the worst company I have ever had to deal with. Cancel and sign up with Virgin. It's little acts like that which really annoy them.

A B these days is like someone telling a lass "you aren't that fat really". Your wife get a C? Nah DD. I don't have a wife.

I wish someone would tell that to David Walliams.

Charity Hitchhike to raise money for Learning Community Development
Walliver replied to Brock Manson's topic in General Chat
Hopefully when we get there we can spend a few days in Morocco, depends how lucky we are by way of lifts. One of those places I've always fancied visiting, even more so now that I've heard more about the place! Flight home is booked for the 15th, so plenty of time to get to Marrakech (hopefully ). I think we're just sticking to the one city in Morocco, since we want to go through Madrid and have a little look round there too. The Spanish leg of the trip is a little worrying as apparently it's a ghost town over Easter Weekend. Although if we manage to get to Spain by Easter Weekend it'd be some achievement! I figured there'd be the odd pickpocket about, we'll be wearing charity t-shirts so no doubt we'll be a prime target. Disposable cameras and an 8-year old mobile for me. I've been to Egypt before and the markets were similar, never got a chance to haggle as I didn't buy anything. Cheers for the advice, I'll bear it all in mind when we get hungry! Really can't wait to explore the place mind, there's 3 of us and we'll stick together, which is a little more comforting. I'll try and post pics on here when I get home naturally. Thank you so much for your donation btw, can't believe I'm already a third of the way towards my target and I posted this yesterday! You should have a bigger target tbh. -
Ironic, eh? No. hahahaha..................its great reading them posts from last july......most people thought we would be shit...........apart from acca who was spot on.....i bet you people feel fools right now ..... I dont feel a fool at all, Im thankful Acca appears to have been right but there was nothing back in September to say we were going to do anything other than ok in this league. neither do I. My main concern was about the morale of the club, I feared it would be so bad that we would struggle, but Hughton has done a great job. Having said that, we also sold our best players and what replacements that came in were cheaper and inferior ones. To summarise, we can only throw away promotion now, but to anyone with any delusions, the team we started with last season was better than the one we have now, and that team was relegated. What is indisputable, is Mike Ashley has lowered expectations so much that a lot of supporters would see simply existing in the top league to be acceptable, while we sell our best players to the big clubs such as Fulham and Wigan. While I'm not trying to disagree that last season's team was much better on paper, what he have now is a lot more committed and far more keen to play football. Players like Owen, Martins and Viduka who should have been good enough to keep us up either weren't playing or couldn't be arsed when they were on the pitch and that - combined with regular management changes and uncertainty over the club's future - got us relegated. We definitely need improvements for next season but I think the core of this squad will give us enough to stay up.

Piss off. I honestly didn't know, sorry. But, still, you'll be going for a sponsored sky dive next - at least go for a marathon or something -

Much more interesting than someone running a 10k for charity, good luck with it all. I presume you'll be staying in Morocco for a while. I went there a few years ago and from my experiences: Casablanca has the most horrible, pushy market sellers. Marrakech is nice and probably has the best souks/markets. People in the Middle Atlas mountains are horrible and will try to scam you out of as much as possible. If you look like a tourist and people come up to dance with, check your pockets. It sounds bizarre but that was the most inventive way we had of people trying to pickpocket us. Make sure you take a few days to go to the west coast. People always recommend Essaouira but we ended up a few miles south in Sidi Kaouki and that was one of the nicest spots we found (there's a Frenchman with a lovely hotel there - stay with him, not at the minging Italian themed place). Rabat wasn't that special but Fes was pretty nice. Most importantly don't be afraid to haggle for absolutely everything. Market traders, restaurants, taxis and hotels/hostels will all try to charge you more than they expect and will normally take much, much less. If you show an interest in something they'll desperately try to sell it to you. I asked about a necklace as a souvenir and was originally offered it for more than £30 (I forget what it is in dirhams) but ended up getting it for less than a fiver. The best tactic we found was that once they stall on a price just walkaway. We did this dozens of times and only once we didn't get the seller chasing after us with a lower price. So, yeah, overall it's quite lovely. I hope you actually make it that far. -

If he's going to be running a lot get an iPod Nano and Nike+. It tracks how far you run, your pace and you can upload it all to keep track of your progress. You can also use the website to set yourself challenges against other friends with the kit which I find a great incentive to keep running.

I dunno what I did. What are your numbers all about then? If you are doing what I said above, that's obviously going to get you two different results because you're searching for very different things. One will give you links to the HP site from external sources, while the other will return all indexed pages on the HP site as well as other sites that mention (not necessarily link to) HP. It's widely regarded that Google's link: operator is inaccurate (and not what they use for gauging link popularity). Also, if you want Google's actual number of results, don't take the first one it shows, make sure you go right to the end and you'll often find (even when you include the repeated/similar results) that the actual figure is a lot lower. The backlink checker most widely used by the public is Yahoo's Site Explorer. There's also a lot more to 'link relevance' than getting a huge number of links. Back in the olden days of the internet, it was just a case of getting as many links as possible. That led to link farms (sites with just link after link after link and nothing else) that were incredibly spammy. Google started weighting links in various ways (links with anchor text are better than just URLs http://www.anchor.com/, a link from a reputable website is better than a newly created blog, links without 'nofollow' are better than those with, etc) to try to fight spammers. Spammers, of course, are very clever so they'll always find a way to try to beat the system. We have a member on this site who works for a company that tries to get links for clients and as he's still around I assume he's doing a good job. So even if HP has a massive number of links, they may not be from the best sources or formatted in the best ways to make them good links. And your numbers, wherever they came from, look to be irrelevant.

Can I just check what you've done? Gone to google.com Searched for link:www.huffingtonpost.com And then searched for www.huffingtonpost.com ? I can't replicate your results.

Not being able to pay your hosting company doesn't mean the domain is available (you can have the second without having the first). As you can see here, Portsmouth own the domain until 2011. It might be worth offering them a cheeky bid, mind. Edit: And as ewerk says, the website still seems to be working.

A lot of you aren't playing properly - Christina Ricci in a thread like this?! I can't explain why, but there's something about Wendy Alexander I've always quite liked.

Add some Tabasco or something else spicy and they get even better.

Presumed this was the quality in every thread and just left.

Note to self: don't come back to this thread.

+1 +2 +3 (this could go on for some time...) +4 (i couldnt stand being left out!) +5 +6 I always think it's stupid the amount footballers get fined when they do something like this in the UK.

I'm with O2 as well and they recently gave me an outlandish bill for internet consumption that I challenged but as I had no actual tracking of the time I used I couldn't do much about it. They claim that the timing is taken directly from the sim card so there's no way it can be tampered with. Every time I've had to deal with their customer support it's been nothing but a hassle - good luck!

If we can get a defence capable of keeping a clean sheet against Man United as well then we'd be quids in.
