You, sir, disgust me...

I've got a brand-new combine harvester

I'm an alien. I'm a legal alien...

I just died in your arms tonight.

keeping the dream alive. reminds me so much of following the Toon.

So YOU'RE the twat I bought the Wii from!!!! Seriously, though. I got a Wii of eBay over a week ago and i haven't seen it yet. Am I being too impatient?

I fingered a mackem. The shame....

Echoed from me. This is the sort of thing the LARPers love. You've really got it in for the LARPers, haven't you? Did one of them cast a "miniaturise" spell on your willy or something? and fuck me it actually worked Only just a little bit, mind. I don't hate them, just trying to start a trend of LARPer-bashing.

Following on from the 'How much of a Mag are you?' threads I'd like to ask when the day was you started your love affair with the Toon. My time was when I was about 9-10. I like to play football but had no interest in any team in particular, even watching it held no interest to me. My dad is NUFC-daft and would always try to get me interested by getting me the silver away kit when I was younger but it was no use. I even half-heartedly took an interest in Aston Villa(!?)(Being that I needed to follow someone as I was always living abroad and all the lads at school had a 'team'). It was around the time I was ready to come back to England from Germany when I saw a live match on TV. Ossie Ardilles was manager at the time and Tranmere were the opposition (a cup game, I think). It went to extra-time and penalties and sure enough we lost. I was intruiged and shocked by my reactions when we scored. Who was this team who scored so much, yet lost? Who was that interesting-looking tubby fella with the moustache? I was hooked. IT had chosen ME. The rest, they say, is history.

Is this transfer is a step in the right direction or a tragedy I'd say it's better best forgotten. Better the devil you know than a boot-scootin' baby... that...er...

Dad was born in Coronation street, Blyth. Mam was born in Lincoln.

Charvs playing music on their phones as loud as they possibly can. You'll have got earphones free with them. FUCKING USE THEM!!! White people who think they're black because they know/are going out with one. Cornrows do not suit white people.

Like 'Doctors and Nurses' you mean? It's a bunch of teens dressed as Gandalf hurling bits of scrunched-up paper at each other screaming "Lightning bolt! Lightening bolt!!" Christ on a trike, I'm sad that I know this! Not as sad as them lot, but still sad.

Live Action Role Play. funny as hell. Tragic as fuck.

oops! fucked up the reply/quote thingamajig.

Are we really talking down about nerds on a web forum??? IRONY!! Yes. It would have been irony in 1992. Now that 70% of people are interneted up there are degrees of nerd that can be categorised the same as real life. There's categories of nerds? Are they heirachical like the fuedal system? Inter-web nerds at top, LARPers at the bottom?

Ones at wetherspoonsstudent union are nice... Oh, that's not what you were asking was it? Sorry.

Poor man. Big pratchett fan meself. Make no apologies for it.

I tend to think we over-analyse and nitpick games nowadays. This reminds me of a fair few seasons ago. I was at the southampton game when we won 4-0 (Think it was early Gullit era.). I was happy as larry and wandering away home when I got stuck behind a group of lads who were discussing the game. "Whaddye think o' that?" said one. One inhaled sharply, then let out a low groan. "Aye, shite like." said another. and on they went, shaking their heads. i just thought "what the shit?". I saw a decent game of footie, saw plenty of goals and we won. I was entertained. Job done. What these guys expecting? To me, it's the goals that entertain. Yes, we would all love to see lovely attacking free-flowing football and it's very nice to see when it happens, but because of the nature of the Prem. most teams cancel each other out and it resorts to drudgery. There isn't many clubs outside the top 5 who don't do this. Yet we are the team that is most singled out for it and I think it has had more of an effect on our perceptions of the team than we care to admit. I'm not exactly happy with the way we're going, but at the moment it may be a stepping stone to a better time after january. I may also be getting the wrong end of the stick and he's out by march, but that's footbal, isn't it? Who knows?

Funniest thread about a serious subject EVAH!!!

This is one of them games where you don't care about the performance, just the result. Like for example the midweek fixtures against tundra-dwelling opposition in the UEFA cup who you've already got an 3-0 aggregate advantage over, or a shitty January slugfest against Wimbledon that we would get so many moons ago. You fuck off over there, you get your result, you brave the conditions and fuck off back. And when it's all that you can do at the time, then its a job well done.

Octopussy is the only one that stands out to me as having some sort of card scene. The girl is a Tarot reader. The Bond girl in Live and Let Die is called Solitaire, though.
