Didn't Multiplex announce record profits a couple of weeks back.....? Errrrrr how?

Bollocks does it, it's not like we mention it every week, it only ever gets brought up once a year ffs. Like I say, the day we win something then it'll not be such a big deal, but personally for me until that day comes this game, the Barca one, and Pompey at home are still looked back on fondly. Oh yes.... into the lair of gods stood David Kelly that day!

That comment is crying out for the photo of the centre circle during the Partizan Belgrade penalty shoot-out where Robert is fiddling with his nuts!

So anyone else watch it?? Looked fucking freezing and our distribution was at times, shite. Can't believe how slow and un-technical it was back then, don't ever remember it being like that. Quality own goal by a certain Mr Roeder too!

Does ESPN Classics come with the base Sky package or do you have to subscribe to an additional package?

We had this debate once before (with me arguing that the kick had not been taken before). It has! The ball is directly above the 'N' of Metrocentre in the advertising hoarding. which absolutely every player (and the referee) are looking towards. There's no way all the people in the wall would be looking over their shoulders if the ball not been behind them at this point.

You're not the only one....

Still cracks me up that someone decided they wanted a better view and vaulted 50 feet up that floodlight pylon!

Indeed I could have sworn it was a midweek game... (and yes, I have just used the calendar on my PC to check )

The things people do to themselves when they find out they're going to be managing the Mackems....

I'm guessing a lot of us were watching this..... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FymSqHxBpZ8

Leave it with me, I'll see what I can do. Don't think I can actually change it but I know a man who can!

you lose tetris if i do!

See above (same goes for Snowboarding before Optimistic Nut chips in...)

Do my job for me so that I have the time to find it on one of the CDs I have at work so I can install it...

Needed someone to help him on his way!

Be interesting to see what would happen if I reset the scores and then changed the password to the database!

His response says it all, the cheating twat! Actually come to think of it, I did give him access rights to the SQL database. All he'd have to do is change his highscore in the table and he's top of the tree......

You make it sound like the talking aspidistra in The Adventure Game! I was waiting for the fuckers to run at me tbh

Were you down this way recently?

Yeah I called it the other week. Came round the corner near home one night and found a shopping trolley stuffed in the middle of the road upside down. Only just managed to miss smashing into the thing, got out and pushed it to the side of the road. As I was doing so, I heard a chorus of "Oi you fucking wanker, leave it where it is!" from the bushes off to the left hand side. Needless to say as soon as I'd driven off, the little shits would have put it right back where it was so thought it best to call the old bill to send someone round to make sure it was removed properly.

Did that in about January this year just before I jumped into support. I'm the main support contact for him anyway so still call on him to give me the lowdown on all aspects of my tax. And basically he's given me a list of all the cars available to me and how much each would cost me per month. They did change the rules about 4 years ago, you used to get raped the less miles you did and the more you did the cheaper it was (seemed like madness to me). It's now based on the CO2 emissions of the car and therefore cleaner, newer cars cost less than the petrol guzzlers. I am on a good deal yeah, but it's kinda pigeon-holed me in my current job as I doubt I'd have as good a deal elsewhere.

Yeah it's all done on a flat fee based on £14,400 multiplied by the percentage band that the car's CO2 falls in multiplied by your highest rate of tax. The more miles you use, the better value it is which is why I had no issues with driving up to Newcastle in the summer as it cost me no more than driving to Tesco over the road from me!

As I used to work supporting the financial IT applications at our place, I got to know the company taxation manager very well. Sat down one day and basically worked out how much it was costing me in additional tax (on top of standard income tax). The car was costing me £60 a month and the fuel card £65 a month. All in all £125 a month. Even if I was living 10 miles down the road, there's no way on earth I'd be able to run my own brand new car on that amount, nor the cash equivalent (£4,500 a year gross).
