Excellent BBCode usage there Mr Hayton! It's amended!

Just did that and now have a lovely 25% discount for 12 months I was offered half price but only for 3 months. I'm doing something similar with NTL for broadband. They can't for the life of them understand why I haven't transferred to their broadband service from dial-up. They are evidently keen to switch off the dial-up and are offering incentives in order to do so. The latest offer from them is 2meg broadband at £7.99 a month for the next 3 years (before it reverts to it's standard price). I'm waiting til they drop that to a fiver and then I'll sign up!

who you kidding. mp3s killed minidisc stone dead! In terms of popularity, I agree - in terms of quaility, MP3 is excellent, but it's slightly inferior. Have you ever played an mp3 through a decent sound system? Even a high bit-rate, it still has short-comings in terms of clarity. On a standard system, you can't notice the difference. As I said, the market was thriving a few years back and I prefer them as re-writable media!

Is Bosnich available?

I'd be keen to see if Shearer was interested in it tbh. Him and Roeder seemed to work well together last season and he is likely to command respect from the players as a result of him being the captain previously. Probably be unable to though as he appears to be becoming a regular fixture on MOTD these days...

Feel a bit sorry for the bloke TBQH - although there was implication by what was in the programme, there was nothing concrete to prove he was receiving bungs. What's more, it had been considered for some time that Harry was anything but kosher and by virtue of his long association with Redknapp, it's no great surprise that fingers have been pointed in Bond's direction. A bit of a panic move by NUFC IMO. Will we owe the bloke any compensation for this or not?

Ignore my continental ignorance, but who the fuck is that?

TBH

I still have a MiniDisc player and plenty of MiniDiscs. The pre-recorded market never took off but the market for using them as re-writable media was thriving a few years back. Combining CD quality with the versatility of cassettes, I still prefer it as re-writable media to a CD-RW

Dunno about the rest of you, but I'll be sat where I am right now probably posting on Toontastic...

It's far too early to say... HD is using AC1 as it's compression algorithm, Blu Ray has, up until now been using MPEG2 however they're changing it so that they're using AC1 as well. AC1 has a better compression ratio and therefore they quality is not as reduced as that of MPEG2. As for the cost, well at present the HD-DVD players are anything between £400 and £700, Blu Ray players are costing around £1000. However as with all technology, this will undoubtedly reduce rapidly over time. With that in mind, and with no idea whatsoever how the Blu Ray will perform with AC1 compression or which way the consumer will sway, I'd keep your pennies in the piggy bank for the time being

Don't worry Gemmill, you're not the only one that's noticed that the point you've been making is being completely ignored. LM - responding with "well you ignore my questions" doesn't disprove the fact that your total argument about Ellis being far worse than Shepherd is complete rubbish! You've been proven wrong - now be man enough to admit it! Craig, firstly I will say I really don't give a flying fuck about Aston Villa. Then I will say that Doug Ellis has been in charge of Villa for 26 years, since they won the European Cup, and the League Title the year before that. If Shepherd and the current board had such a span and "went backwards" to the same degree then of course you could say they had had their time and failed. 1. Now - as you avoided my earlier question. Are we or are we not better off without Craig Bellamy in the team , 2. And - do you still maintain that we were right to throw 50m quid at the scottish fuckpig to "build his own team then judge him" ? Those questions are for BOTH you and Gemmill, as you have both said those things at the time. And you BOTH avoided it earlier... "Fuck! They're right. I look like a complete tit and my argument is ruined. Quick! Think! What should I do! I know, I'll throw a couple of questions at them - er Craig Bellamy...blah blah blah....50m quid...blah blah." By the way Leazes, I don't know how you DARE have a go at Aston Villa. They are the 5th best club in the country over the last 10 years and there are 87 other clubs who worse off than them. I love the way you've now had to modify your argument to "Errrrr...but Villa won the European Cup and now they haven't won it since. That means they've gone backwards". What an idiot. I'll answer your stupid diversionary questions when you concede that Doug Ellis is as good a chairman as Freddy Shepherd because Villa were 5th best on average for the last decade, and there were 87 clubs worse off than them. Cracking argument, isn't it? Because Villa achieved more than we have, then they're now worse off than us! Fuck me, forget Alistair Campbell (the tit who worked with Blair, NOT Ally who posts on here), we have our very own spin doctor right here!

Those questions are for BOTH you and Gemmill, as you have both said those things at the time. And you BOTH avoided it earlier... I think you'll find that I've answered point no. 1 many, many times - still, don't let that little detail destroy your argument which has no substance, will you? As for the second point, when have I ever said we were right to give Souness £50m? We had to give him money otherwise we'd have been stuck in another Ardiles situation whereby the manager is powerless to have any significant influence on the progression (whether it be positive or negative) of the team. In short, had we not given him the cash, you wouldn't have as much reason to criticise him. But the figure of £50m? Sorry, but you can't blame either Gemmill or me for that one. Neither of us are in control of the SJP purse strings. For that little gem you can blame only one person...... Fat Frederick Shepherd!

Are anklets back in fashion then? What on earth are you on about?! Well if you've even got one of those things that should be above your heed, I'm sure it's loitering around your ankles

Are anklets back in fashion then?

You're a disgrace!! Aye, and what of it? Notice she didn't say no though. Say 'no' to what? I was simply suggesting that we might like a pic of an emot. What were you thinking of you dirty little git?

You're a disgrace!! Aye, and what of it?

No one at the club has said anything about Lee Clark being the new assistant.

Evidently not God knows what that's about but it's probably a setting somwhere. I'll have a look.

Can they not be just removed?

Bullshit, you'll be still fucking cacking it about your Aussie neighbours!

Cue Fred and Glenn hot-footing it to the airport for the flight to Montevideo complete with an unsigned 5 year contract!
