Just seen John Simpson on the bbc news explaining all, am telling you its him! Came across as knowledgeable and authoritative as our Parky, just minus the apocolyptic paranoia and conspiracy theories

@@Happy Face....doubt if this has escaped your notice....Manfredd Mann

Would imagine that was this... http://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/news/north-east-news/metro-yob-attack-ruhi-rehman-10491688 Bunch of lads asked him (no doubt politely) to leave the train, which he appears to have done.

5live saying that Russia has been murdering innocents in Turkmenistan??.....anything in that @@Park Life ?.... If the Turks pulled this shit off their own backs then they're cheeky fuckers....if NATO put them up to it then it's virtually an act of war...

just keeping it real

I think that's whats known in the sort of tory spin speak you lap up like a fuckin labrador puppy as "fudged"

I'd like to leave them a health service free at the point of delivery. Theyre running it into the ground so they can privitise it iyam. Maybe with the help of some of these MP's... (list from before last years election but I think we can see a pattern here )

I've noticed most companies I've contracted to lately are stacked out to be fair. The order book for my present company runs to the middle of 2017. However, I've also noticed quite a lot of this... http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2015/nov/22/tories-autumn-statement-george-osborne Not that you give a flying fuck...

It's been noticeable for three seasons iyam. We've basically given up at various points every season since we finished 5th. It comes from the very top of the club, it's inherent in every single part of the set up. No one properly gives a fuck.

Here's some light reading to brighten a Monday morning.... http://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2015/03/what-isis-really-wants/384980/

Certainly is, but as someone said I'd only heard Matador and a couple of others this year. Went to see him in an old church hall on Thursday night, he mentioned the awards in passing towards the end and got a predictably huge cheer, I saw a mate in the pub afterwards and we agreed he had no fuckin chance, sad to say we were right He was brilliant btw, just him, a few guitars, a keyboard and a beat box/sampler thingy. Also played Moving and a rioutous Caught by the Fuzz as an encore. I think Matador beats the shit out of his previous solo offering and for me he remains an huge talent.

Its certainly is, its the nowadays lesser spotted DubiousBobcat, he was living up the road from me and I was going to see his band but he seems to have dropped off the TT radar.

Nice. You still in Kinson mate?

Very much this. Am struggling through Touching Distance at the moment. Every time I pick the thing up I end up fuckin fuming and put it down after a couple of chapters when I compare then to now. I understand things have changed in football overall in the two decades since but ffs the club is a fuckin husk. Theres nothing in it of any substance.

Looking forward to the trip to Croydon next weekend, Pardews lot will tear us a new one...

Am presuming you mean Shia v Sunni?...completely agree, and that's the one reason we stopped short of removing saddam in 1991, he was a necessary monster in that particular region. It also makes the decision to invade a decade later even more ludicrous. The west could've "managed" his successor a lot easier when he eventually left the scene if they hadn't intentionally set the two factions against each other in an entirely predictable way.

True, but have the wars we've prosecuted in the last decade been the Islamists chief recruiting tool? That's been ignored in this debate so far and for me it's very important.

Offside. Fuckin lino wants shooting.

Huth is an odious Teutonic wanker

Aye Barca. Strange night, Shola scored in the Nou Camp They were a pretty poor outfit at the time, Riquelme, Mendieta,Kluivert, all past their best. Dyer will always have my contempt for banging one of the nails into Sir Bob's SJP coffin. In a way though it was blown out of all proportion by the media. I doubt if hes the first player to tell the manager where he wants to play. I don't think hes the biggest tosser to play for us recently either, as well as being amongst the best, when his plasticine hamstrings weren't giving him gip.

Indeed. What's the exact relationship between the UAE government and Man City? Is that mansoor gadgie doing all the good works off his own bat or is some or all of it direct from the governments coffers?

Shit got real with Scargill-haired Murdoch lackey Andrew Neil on his talk show last night.... http://www.snappytv.com/tc/1036780

Ladies and Gentleman I give you Frankie Boyle...

Normally I'd agree but I don't think it's fair or in particularly good taste to start picking on Islam or it's plainly moderate and sensible followers 4 days after a bunch of oxygen thrives hijacked the belief system of 1.5bllion mostly reasonable and blameless followers and murdered 130 people. Aimaad has made some very thoughtful and pertinent contributions and didn't really deserve a grilling from the fuckin Geordie Inquisition.

Happy birthday to the other Lion of Gosforth
