Went to Hyena's a while ago and they kicked a couple of punters out for talking among themselves. Seems not paying the acts enough attention gets you trated like a child. Won't be back.

Think we might just go up late, have a few around Camden and mooch on up in our own time...saw Dizzee Rascal at Glastonbury a few years back, he was ok actually, good for a festival, but for a Roses gig?....not for me. The others I've heard of, and that's about it.
-
I'm off to this as well now. Well not now obviously, but in a week.
Don't know how you feel about this Jill...support for Friday: The Stone Roses
Performing: The Stone Roses, Dizzee Rascal, Rudimental and The Courteeners Support for Saturday: The Stone Roses
Performing: The Stone Roses, Johnny Marr, Miles Kane and Public Image Ltd. So Saturday gets two titans of popular music and Friday gets Dizzee fuckin Rascal and some other people

Mrs PL stole in naked towards the end of the first track and screeched "ARE YOU CAMIN TO BED ENUFF AF THA FAACKIN NOISE". Bit unfair I thought but she has been on the Jack Daniels Honey. We were discussing getting matching Stone Roses tattoo's earlier....reckoned I'd get "I DON'T HAVE TO SELL MY SOUL" on my shoulder, on hers she'd get "HE'S ALREADY IN ME"..which will be appropriate in 5 mins.......enjoy......

Stole a dumper truck and took it to the nearest field, put it on full lock and jammed the excelerator with a piece of wood so it was going around in circles and then waited from afar as the coppers tried to jump on it and stop it.
I'll see your dumper and raise you a combine harvester

Nice narrow stripes front and back on the shirt, with plain white shorts.
Why cant we ever have that?
Because the only tosser who thought we should have white shorts was Ruud Gullit, for the brilliant reason the all the clubs/teams he'd played for, Milan,Ajax and Holland, had worn them. Its black shorts for NUFC.... since 1922 anyway... http://www.historicalkits.co.uk/Newcastle_United/Newcastle_United.htm That Juve strip looks very good

Constantly breaking into the partly demolished gasworks at the back of our house, quite often climbing up this rather quaint looking gasometer...

Loved Bellamy and thought Souness was mental to put his own bruised ego ahead of the team.
Shearer was an exceptional crosser of the ball, that cross for Ferdinand's against Manchester United in 96 was out of this world. Shearer should have been slowly replaced. Instead his retirement was put-back because we didn't have anybody else at the club capable of scoring goals consistently.
And here we have the bottom line....Robson wanted to bring in Emile M'Penza....a few weeks after it was mentioned he was picking his cards up. Thats according to Robson's book, it also says Liverpool put a bid in for Shearer but the club knocked it back and kept it to themsleves. Shearers agent found out, and Shearer had a dig at Robson because of it. Robson took him to Valerenga and didnt play him, Shearer went straight to the press and had a whinge. The book doesnt say so implicity, but reading between the lines Sir Bob in all likelyhood thought that Shearer hammered a nail or two into Sir Bob's SJP coffin. I suppose how you feel about that depends on if you think Sir Bob's time was up. I think it was a fuckin ludicrous decision at the time and still do.

Think these are my most garish....
I don't get much wear out of them tbf. Only at Liberace tributes.

They're fuckin ace HF -
Nobby was my fave player in recent times bar none. Not the quickest but aye brilliant at putting a ball in usually from deeper. But my point really was how good Shearer was at crossing. Robert was a bit more direct dont you think?
Not entirely sure what you mean?...Robert was even slightly better than Solano for me. Shearer should have gone around the same time they did. Shearer put a great cross in for Rob Lee at Wembley v Chelsea in 2000 and...that's it as far as I can remember. That's probably a bit unfair on him, but his crossing wasn't what he was in the team for, although in his younger and sprightlier day he had no problem pulling his marker wide and getting a ball in. I do remember him saying that though "am the best crosser at the club"
not for me he wasn't... -
He was top scorer every season he played iirc, plus was the best crosser we had. May have been a twat but then so was Bellamy. Its just you didnt mind when they were on your side.
A better crosser than Robert and Solano? righty-o
That's what he went around saying man! -
What?
Also he scored 33 goals in his last 2 seasons. If he did that when he was past it then we might as well sell Cisse and Shola now
Think half of them were in the intertoto
"Elvis was a hero to most but he never meant shit to me" sums up how I feel I suppose, agree with Howman, never stopped me somewhat hypocritically cheering him hundreds of times. But in the big scheme of things, I think the club suffered towards the end because of the way he was treated by those in charge. -
Don't mistake Shearer for a Newcastle United hero.....played 2 seasons too long just to break Jackie Milburn's record, indulged by Shepherd, Souness and Roeder. "no man bigger than the club"?....Shearer thought he was, and with help from those above him who could argue that he was treated as if he was? That pissed Bellamy off as much as anything I'd imagine. Bellamy wasn't perfect either, but when you've someone as fuckin useless as Souness blowing kisses to a clapped out Shearer I think my younger self would've reacted the same way.
-
This would explain the talk of the Carroll deal not being dead...and fit in with the "move anyone on for a big enough profit" ethos of the current owners....again, plenty have praised Ashley for his transfers in the last couple of years. This is the other side of the coin. Guess we'll just have to suck it up..
-
The story is backed up by a quote claimed to come from Cisse’s agent, Guido Nickolay;
‘Papiss is interested in several Russian clubs but I wouldn’t want to say exactly which club would want to buy my client as it would not be very correct on my part’

"made of stone", Shane Meadows directing....funny and epic is hard to pull off, but Shane nails it. If you don't mind their music go and see it bacause its funny as fuck, if you love their music the scenes from last years Warrington gig will probably make you cry....

Am doing 4 till 0115 at the moment with an hours commute either side too....find it easy, in bed for 0230, up between half 9 and half 10, which is a lot more sleep than I get on days.

10% thought Cabaye was our best player last season?
That was CT on his own
-
That's mostly because they haven't played any qualification games though.
makes a mockery of the rankings when an england team that's been largely shit for the last decade is 7th best in the world man. what a joke.
The Fifa thing is looking more and more ludicrous....look at Brazil's results in their games since the last world cup...they've hardly been beaten! http://uk.soccerway.com/teams/brazil/brazil/349/matches/
-
Brazil aren't pulling up any trees tbh...piss poor way of measuring things, but England are 7th in the Fifa rankings, Brazil are 19th. Even taking the vagaries of the Fifa system into consideration, that's piss poor.

Really have to feel for them, from Pulis to Hughes
they wanted rid of Pulis:lol:
they'll be much the same next season as they have been since they came into the league....only a bad run away from relegation...
thing is, Hughes has been told to cut costs, 80million on players got them a cup final and 8 games in Europe...not a big return for the chairmans money..

Your favourite stand up comedians?

Posted · Edited by PaddockLad
Wouldn't say I'm a regular at any comedy club, but I've been to enough over the years in different parts of the country to know that what went on was heavy handed to say the least. Seems mostly driven by the huge number of comics out there trying to make it and punters are being forced by the clubs to pay attention to them regardless of how good they are. If theyre not good enough to hold a crowd well that's a shame, and obviously its in the clubs' interest to keep the acts motivated and happy so they stick with it, ensuring the clubs keep earning too. A case of "jobs for the boys/girls"?
