Craig

that's fucking dreadful!

Anyone who's eaten one of those extortionatly priced meat pies is likely to spend a good half hour on the khazie tbh - that ought to push up the 'pissing off time'....

Is this addressed to everyone or just GF? 86056[/snapback] Lou should hang her head in shame tbh!

Been to Kefalonia as well - most bizarre thing about that place is the arrivals hall is literally a coregated iron shack (or at least it was when I went there in 1991)...

All that was missing was the 'whistling dixie' in the background!

Strange. I've flown direct from Corfu to Newcastle direct in a 757 before. 86025[/snapback] This was in one of the shitty old 737s that Britannia used to use. Probably couldn't wind the elastic band back far enough tbh...

Can't be any shitter than the last one we had.... Still bitter Lawro?

Fuck me gently... Just reminded me why I avoid the 606 boards like the plague!

Dodgy transfer dealings in the Premiership? Surely not....

Yep... Mind you, Boumsong had just signed for Rangers but we still went and paid over the odds a mere 6 months later!

I had the lot and gave them away... Apart from my AT-AT and Millennium Falcon which my pyromaniac of a brother shoved a whole load of BBQ lighter fluid soaked bog roll into and set fire to them.... Arsehole!

The only time I've had any degree of fear was coming back into Newcastle from Majorca. It was February and fucking freezing - 10 mins from take off the pilot came on and reported it was going to be 'bumpy' as there was freezing fog and that the runway was likely to be like an icerink! We landed from the coast end and every other time I've landed at that end, the plane has slowed down sufficiently to make the first turn off towards the apron - not this time, he fucking motored straight past that and had to make the turn (bloody speedily as well) at the very end of the runway - on top of that, he was all over the place on it!! The only other time I've had to 'think about it' was after the event. Coming back from Corfu we landed at Munich for refuelling and it was only then that the pilot told us that it was a necessity as Corfu is the shortest runway in Europe and that if we'd have had enough fuel on board to take us back to Newcastle, we'd never have taken off and dropped off the end of the runway into the sea!!

Prefer Ashton to both and I think he could play with Owen. 85980[/snapback] Agreed.... We'll probably go in with a ridiculous £12m bid for him in the summer...

He seemed to show the purpose of booting the ball out of the ground from 10 yards out during the first half.... That fucker was halfway to the racecourse!

I think that's Parker's attempt at keeping the boss happy... Thing is, I think he's so used to being on the periphery at Chelsea and trying to break into their first 11, I don't think he appreciates how 'nailed on' his inclusion in the starting line-up is when fit... He doesn't need to brown-nose to get a game, others unfortunately most definitely do!

What the hell has JawD got to do with it?

I guess it'll be on the snopes website in a couple of weeks confirming one or the other...

Two and a half miles will be the horizontal separation. Vertical separation only has to be 1000 feet, which is why they look so close. The JAL plane is a 777 which are fecking huge and can assist in the illusion...

He's still gonna 'switch ends' when we got to the Mad Stad next year though - you can just imagine the convo at the next home game can't you? "Where we you for the Newcastle game then?" "err......I was sick!"

Have you got a link for this Craig? Are you suggesting Boumsong was not a Souness signing? I seem to remember Robson being linked with Boumsong but he wasn't interested. 85721[/snapback] I haven't got a link to hand, no, but then we've discussed it previously and I wasn't the only one to voice that opinion.. Boumsong was indeed a Souness signing, I've not said differently - but this club made moves to approach him before Souness was anything to do with the place. 85723[/snapback] So it is just your opinion then. The way you put it it makes it look like a fact that we wanted to sign him. And does asking about a player and sending scouts definitely mean we want to sign him or are we just checking him out? I would like to know cos obviously I am not as Knowledgeable as you. 85729[/snapback] 'Opinion' was the wrong choice of word there me thinks. Anyhow seeing as you both asked me nicely.....

Is it true Souness was moaning about the pitch after the game?? He was fucking praising the thing (and rightly so) before it. Proves what a contradictory fucker he truly is!

Whilst that comment is fucking hilarious, knowing our luck the useless waste of space will have an absolute blinder of a world cup and show our coaching staff up for being an absolute bigger piece of shit than they are... On second thoughts, nah.....this is Boumsong we're talking about
