Our lass is doing a Christmas dinner tonight for her family, then we're going to theirs tomorrow. Thank the Lord her mam has got a big Capon which she will roast with all the trimmings, she wants my help with the gravy. Us tonight? I don't know what the fuck she is up to, it involves foie gras starters, seviche, peeled roasted peppers, something with slices of magret of duck with pickles and speculos (???), all sorts going on in this kitchen. I've not been running for over 10 days now but with my arse the way it is, am not that concerned about weight gain.

No this is what you said and its pretty much 100% unsubstantiated bollocks.

That statement doesn't say it all, it just says Marveaux had a role to play in the goal. Not as significant as Shola. Your criticism of Pardew is therefore moronic.

Aye, Augmentin. My symptoms appear to be inconsistent with viral sinusitis (no chest symptoms etc) so there is a stronger chance of it being bacterial but as you say, I could be necking 6 pills a day just to turn my arse into a shit-sneezing machine.

The anti-biotics have given us the shits. Had to sit down wipe as didn't have the energy to stand. Not that I'm a stander but even if I had been. Worse part was that it was so explosive that there were splashes on the floor. The floor ffs. Fortunately abroad we don't do carpeted bogs.

So as 2012 draws to a close, looking back on this remarkable year which has brought such highs and some desperate lows, one thing that has been a constant throughout has been the deep culturally enriching effect of social media. Long may it and this thread live on.

Unbelievable stupidity CT, it was Shola who scored and he had all the work to do. I'm delighted Marveaux had a role to play in the goal but it was a simple pass made by Santon's run and Shola's movement. Over-playing his role in the goal to denigrate Pardew's management is about the clearest example I've seen of why people don't take you seriously.

:lol: @ the last 3 posts LBT.

I got told the story as a kid by someone who should know if its true (the bloke in question's son) but I was never sure. The story was in the journal or chronicle about a decade ago. If I told you the story of the son, you wouldn't believe that either but i know each detail of his remarkable life is true. Who knows tbh.

Does that book mention when they came up to Newcastle in the 60s and they were infamously 'frog-marched' back to central station and sent back to London? By the bloke who ran all the doors on Percy Street (where all the clubs were at the time I think), who had various other interests in Newcastle and around the country.

That's pretty much what you said the last time you spat the dummy out when I posted something intended as a joke towards you. 'Message board savant' again makes no sense. Message board joker or wit perhaps would have fitted in but savant doesnt fit with the context. Not denying i may be a savant of course. It's responses like that which remind me why I poke fun at you in the first place. Anyway, looking back, the attention-seeker comment wasn't particularly nice. I could have implied you where posting a YouTube clip of yourself without saying that so my apologies too.

Well most of that makes no sense either. It was just a joke Gene.

Best thing about the whole game. Obertan was class too.

Only if you've got zero sense of humour. Well, not completely since calling it bitter doesn't even make sense. Happy to poke fun at the gentleman in the video but can't have anyone poke fun at you. Dear me

September 78, game as 0-0 and my first match.

Fucking hell Gene, I didn't realise you were a massive attention seeker at the match too.

I'm not far behind him, it might have been the noro-virus that struck me during take-off on that flight the other week.

Cheers mate, shouldn't complain, there are people much worse off and at this time of year having a much harder time than just worried about whether they can enjoy a few glasss of red wine. Mind you, having a piercing headache begin the eyes for the 5th day in a row is getting a bit much

I've got acute bacterial sinusitis. WOO-HOO Merry fucking Christmas.

It's no coincidence The Grinch is Celtic Green.

Politics aside, i can see how he might have been tempted by this

Was the CIA adultery story from the dems to fuck his reputation or from GOP to get rid of the wife in time for 2016?

And of course, Parky is mad and conspiracy nuts are just that etc etc. Its like something out of film, it beggars belief.

So you know exactly when its coming, there's a live blog here http://www.guardian.co.uk/science/2012/dec/21/end-world-live-blog?intcmp=122

See you.
