I noticed in the highlights of the England game Gerrard and Barry were basically like a mirror of each other, and never more than 5 feet apart.

Why exactly is it a stupid idea? You are either after a bite, or phenomenally retarded. Either way, I am not wasting my time arguing with you. So are the NFL retarded then? Full house at Wembley for a regular season game and probably gaining a few extra thousand fans in the long term. What a ridiculous idea!

Gartside making out he's pulled a coup that only proper footballing people understand. What a tool.

Cats have facial expressions?

You bought a Vauxhall Unless you really meant a reconditioned Saab ninetyfive?

At the end of the day like Rob said, there's not much point getting uppity in your letter. You are the one who worked for them, so you never really had the upper hand anyway, being the boss is the place to be. Half the time, after the letter is passed to admin your dept never deals with you any more anyway. The best way is to keep it polite but surreptitiously rig things to fuck the company up, but it depends on whether your beef is with management or colleagues, you just know any difficulties you leave behind are just passed on to co-workers. It is amazing what incompetence companies will let slide given a 'staff shortage'. The only people that might really suffer are former customers/clients, so again, it depends who your beef is with.

A mate dropped his mobe down the toilet at a festival. Waterproof or not, there's no way I'd be rinsing it off and using it again.

You're well within you're rights not to treat him with anything other than contempt then from what you've said. On the first day, and with her knowledge, take him to one side and explain a few home truths. If he doesn't change his behaviour after that, well, the options are either physical or mental, depending on your personality If it was me, rather than pummell him, I would manufacture a situation where I could publicly berate him for his sleazy ways, letting everyone know the situation (which has the defence that you gave him the opportunity in private to avoid the incident). He doesn't sound like the type to do anything in return, and by rights she shouldn't give you too much of a hard time for it.

Is she a bit of a tom-boy? i.e. prefers to be with the lads rather than girls? I had the same issue, whereby my last bird was best mates with a bloke from childhood, did my head in purely out of jealousy, although I knew nothing would ever happen as it would be like shagging your sister for him (I presumed, you never really know what's in someone's head). My own theory on this is that in a boy girl friendship there is always one that wants it to go further, as I have kidded myself in the same way before. Anyway, when I thought about it, he was probably just as annoyed about me being around as I was of him, although she'd pretty much always had fellas. So I just accepted him as a mate rather than a competitor, and we had some fairly good nights out on the piss. In the end when it finally finished, it had nowt to do with him, and he actually backed me up in a few arguments/wind ups Anyway, I guess it just hinges on how she feels about him. If she really doesn't like him then, or she just doesn' want to upset an aquaintance, you need to tell him in no uncertain terms to fuck off, and she should back you up 100%. If she does like him as a *good* mate, I think you have to just live with it.

After the back to back Premiership titles you mean?

And I agree, the Sports World sign on the roof looks totally tacky.

I don't like Sony's, unnecessarily over-complicated to use, dodgy batteries and downright ugly to boot.

Absolute rubbish to believe Fat Fred would start suing the club over a few newspaper quotes.

Take a look at the 'hoof' to Martins for the goal, what would everyone else want to happen? Either Martins comes deep and gets closed down, or we wait while we advanced up the pitch (there were no other players further forward to pass to) and give the Spuds defence time to regroup. I'd rather we kept hammering away at them while we are in the lead, as HF said above, more passing <> more attempts.

They've found Jenas out http://www.glory-glory.co.uk/forums/thread/226002.aspx

And Boumsong is probably the worst.

If Emre can't offer anything with 70% possession, what use is he? We already know he offers nothing when coming on while we are under the cosh.

Looks pretty good to me, we could theoretically be fourth after 10 games Noelie

That was brilliant, his spud mate looked none too happy either

Sounds like a good performance and the goals looked top drawer too. Couldn't see the whole thing due to a crappy cast . Sam needs to calm down a bit, no need to be having a heart attack with a 2 goal lead and 20 seconds to go.
