ChezGiven

Anyone decipher the lyrics? Its not Italian.

Not working, Chez. Cheers Barney. Wanted to post this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CAnYBCImAa4

The youtube link i just tried to post isnt showing in my browser. Can anyone else see it under my last post?

Got a Jean Carn track on it but not 'Was that all there was', made famous by Sasha on the first Rennaisance mix. The original was on that Greg Wilson mix i sent you last year. His new website / blog is canny, got this from his twitter the other day which is just lush/wtf.

Souness was a cunt of a player and cunt of manager - so sometimes nothing changes. JFK; "Where's Graeme Souness?" GS; " Here" JFK; "You're a cunt..." Wasn't JFK a defender? Airport.

He rates Perch which I find a bit strange. So does Chez Apart from the own goal, he wasnt that bad against Stoke and put in a decent shift against Man City and didnt pick up a yellow card . He has the pace to be a good full back. Tough gig playing behind Routledge. I know you're just joking but its not that i rate him i just didnt think it was fair writing off a 1.5m right-back after being up against Nani in his premier league debut. Positionally suspect because he has never played at a level that demands 100% concentration on this element of the game. I know nothing of his character, never heard him even speak so wont pre-judge his ability to learn.

Yeah, its about Italian jews in a concentration camp, a father protects his son from the reality of the camp by making the experience into a game.

Watched Life is Beautiful on Sky last night. Absolutely brilliant but really sad.

Funnily enough i used to go to the Butterlogie back in 89/90 and the Blue Monkey in 90/91. Saw that lad get stabbed to death outside when i was off me tits on doves. Happy days.

Wa-hey!! Congrats mate, great news. Kids are great btw

Sorry, should have said digital SLR. With an adaptor. Costs 20 quid.

I feel really sad for everyone about this, for all the lads on NO who went mad about him signing, the older fuckers who were originally sceptical and then started to think we've got a player on our hands, for Hughton who managed to get in a quality player on the shoestring Ashley gives him but most of all i feel sorry for him. Fucking soppy as fuck for a 37 year old but after all the shit of the last few years, i was willing to think we might be a pleasure to watch again. Everything felt written in the stars, i was convinced before we signed him that he had some affinity with us, i had a hunch that other french players (current and retired) were influencing his thinking, i was willing it to happen when it sounded far-fetched, he signed the week i turned 37 and took that number on shirt, he scored on his debut, i bought the shirt for me and my (french) daughter. Then this. So devasted and angry but what can you do, its despicable and unfair but thats life and its happened to other players and will happen again. Something tells me though that the Ben Arfa / Newcastle story is far from over. I'm starting to dream again. It would be just the sort of mad story that with a sense of natural justice he comes back in March and helps us lift the Carling Cup. If we beat Arsenal at home, it might be worth a quid at the bookies.

You'll get one eventually i reckon. The way i looked at it, at home i would read a proper book, on holiday i might prefer an e-book for ease of packing. So for a few weeks a year, for essentially 4 or 5 books tops, the e-reader on the iPad will suffice. I'm also then connected to email, the internet, maps, travel guides, weather apps, games, download photos and HD video off my SLR straight to the excellent photo viewer. If i was the facebook/twitter type it would also seemlessly integrate the photos and any crap i was spouting into those two through flipboard. For a holiday, with a wi-fi or 3G connection, its everything you need in one. What does this e-ink look like then?

September 2008. Newcastle 0 Hull 2 September 2010. Newcastle 0 Blackbool 2 I know, you wouldnt expect him to get the result wrong.

Only you could claim the BMA is being supportive of the reforms. NHS reform is a 'slash and burn' approach say Doctors' union. What exactly is your knowledge of PCTs then? How is it irrelevant to the discussion if Labout introduced walk-centres that you value and the Conservatives scrap them? As for childish, claiming Cameron is the best PM during your life time is beyond infantile. Typical Renton smokescreen with a Guardian story thrown in as well. I said the BMA agreed with most of the White paper especially with regard to GP's having more control. What they are complaining about is GP practises having to compete against each other. It really depends what meat is on the bones of this but in general I have no problem with a patient being able to choose to join a different practise if their current one is shit. You also forget that at this stage it is at consultation stage. Even last week when the BMA met it was very divided on the issue with mainly a few commie members being the ones up in arms. I do understand that your bias, along with your job security makes it very difficult for you to be objective. You would come across more believable if you sometimes included the positives as well as the negatives. This after all is what the BMA have done. Of course GPs are 'happy', they are about to be handed the keys to the NHS, their 'concerns' are 'how the fuck do you run this thing?'. Oh and "GPs happy with being given control" is not a positive in any social policy analysis.

On the series wiki site it says that Hatton knew that Bleasdale was going to send him up but said he didnt mind as long as the actor was handsome

He had the funniest twitch in his arm that got worse as the story/conspiracy unfolded. Sort of like that bloke with the mad twitch in the very old Carry On films (funny bloke, quite big, glasses?). Based on Derek Hatton supposedly.

Got me thinking about another Bleasdale comedy/drama with Robert Lindsay and Michael Palin called G.B.H. Would love to see that again. Another interesting take on the state of British politics back then, done in 91 though so at the end of the Thatcher years. Re: CT's usual tripe, you cant escape bureacracy in health care anyway, not if you want to be rational.

Amended.

Ryder Cup, you massive gayer for assuming that

Evening lads The Mrs is out for dinner, am having a quiet one, just got our one down 10 mins ago.

I cant believe that mancunian bell-sniffer had the audacity to criticise my footwear. More front than Whitley Bay tbh.

Now there's a thing. This board is already divided over the Standing/Sitting arse wiper debate - can we have a show of hands for the pro-sprout crew please? Buttered with bacon… mmmmmm Sprouts/sit down/wash hands for me. Thats the oddest christmas ritual yet tbh.

The debate barely elevates itself above schoolground mud-slinging and retarded economic analysis. The Shepherd/Halls era was an era of exponential revenue growth and asset price inflation. The Ashely era has been characterised by flat revenues from the key sources, a massive reduction in the availability of credit, a global financial crisis and a global recession. Its daft to draw direct comparisons. I was a big supporter of what the previous board did for this club as they took the gambles neccessary for the club to compete at the top but the business model has changed since then because of the changes in the credit market and the economy. Indeed, the previous regime hit it lucky/timed it well in their takeover of the club, just before football revenues and the availability of credit were about to explode. They did take gambles with the club's money but the problem was that as the years went on, their operating model wasn't working well enough to sustain the business model you were speaking of. Which was why John Hall decided to sell.

For those arguing that Ashley needs to think big, act big and invest big to bring success (Hit the top-line to drive the bottom-line, standard fair for a big business), this is apparently what it takes nowadays... http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/....3-million.html
