  1. Dead at 60. Turned dowm millions in the 70s to fight Mohammed Ali, staying loyal to Cuba.. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-latin-america-18405802
  2. Thats the key like, not so much about this tournament but the next one. And Hodgy's got a 4 year contract to see it through. Add Wilshire,Cahill and one or two others and its looking ok. Hopefully they'll have a better attitiude than some of their predecessors.
  3. There was a case where some fucker whod been abused on some board or other tracked the bloke down at his home address, knocked on his door, and beat the shit out of him. I'd advocate this approach rather than legislation.
  4. loads of us said "give youth a chance" when Hodgy took over, can't complain at that side. Pity about Cahill, 3/4 chels defenders+man city goalie=solid.
  5. Dunno...Mexes is a weak link, he's pants.....Malouda?..cant get in chels side,Nasri..all gong and no dinner, Ribery...same-ish...not that impressed tbh...Ben Arfa better than Nasri and Ribery iyam.
  6. . Your wage is 120% of the United Kingdom average and 248% of the world average.
  7. Fair enough, but three may have become two over time, especially if/when it eveolved into a hand signal. Regardless, its a fuckin great myth, like Hitler only having one ball etc...they all serve a purpose, propaganda, psychological,positivity in the face of adversity etc..
  8. Yeah thats the point...research/science/records can only reveal so much,that which is indisputable, but sometimes you have nothing to rely on other than what has been passed down, which is what the Desmond Morris quote sort of refers to. Bottom line is no one knows, but Fry and his muckers cant sit there and say "no its bollocks, didnt happen". Records suggest that to be the case,apochrophyl oral history suggests not. For me, theres a germ of fact in all myths.
  9. The two fingers thing may be a myth according to Stephen Fry on Q.I & other assorted smartarses, but has anyone come up with a logical alternative to it's origins?....a myth with a strong element of truth to it iyam. because of the strong taboo associated with the gesture (its public use has often been heavily penalised). As a result, there is a tendency to shy away from discussing it in detail. It is "known to be dirty" and is passed on from generation to generation by people who simply accept it as a recognised obscenity without bothering to analyse it... Several of the rival claims are equally appealing. The truth is that we will probably never know... —Desmond Morris.[15]
  10. Thats punk rock maaaan!
  11. So hes having a permanent syrup fitted "live"??!! Wont display here, filters no likey....
  12. That narrows the offending lower leg to belong to Chez or CT
  13. "the whole hardcore scene"...is that happy, American punk rock or a concrete gang?.....
  14. I use it now and then myself but got clobbered with a big-ish data bill before I got the Pure gizmo. Am looking at one for the car next, but think I might just buy a new car with one in
  15. My missus has got 4....shes got the eye of Ra on one wrist, some heart thing on the other, some flower design on a lower leg and a cross on one of her feet. When it is pointed out to her that theyre utterly irrelevent to her life as a wage-slave legal secretary, she replies that they mean something to her, are easily hidden and are tasteful, and its hard to argue with any of that, except the last one but thats obviously completely subjective....shes on about getting some sort of inscription in hebrew or fuckin Japanese next, which is where a line may be drawn...
  16. Thing is about doing it via tunedin or similar is that you'll more than likely have to pay for the data....if you were to get a Pure move 2500 it'd be 80 quid but you dont pay for data and theres no problem with buffering etc. http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B005J3PLXE/ref=s9_simh_gw_p23_d5_g23_i5?pf_rd_m=A3P5ROKL5A1OLE&pf_rd_s=center-2&pf_rd_r=051MMA1KWSC16ZMDKPJN&pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_p=467128533&pf_rd_i=468294
  17. My money's on this being Balarny Stone V. 2.0
  18. is this just funny in general or is it just because its my mate's ex?...
  19. And how many of them in the current squad have Polish parents?....Podolski for one, I forget the rest but at the WC there were 4 or 5....much to the disappointment of my neighbour Stan, who is from Berlin. And has some slightly dodgy opinions, but does give mw fresh eggs from his hens, so he's not all bad
  20. Try watching with the sound off if commentators/summerisers bother you that much. Either that or buy a ticket and actually go to the fuckin games
  21. Because England is a mature market for football. They want to "grow" the game, and you can only do that in countries with a nascent middle class. And in this country we've been shamed into refraining from making making monkey noises at black players but most will agree they hear a lot of casual racially derogatory language in the course if their week, whether its at work or down the pub or at school. Don't get me wrong, its a good start, but that's all it is. We're 25 years ahead of them publically, but theres not that much difference so I don't think we should be congratulating each other too much (as the media seem to do a lot) as things stand.
  22. He thought Luque was the best signing ever due to his YouTube compilation and said so on his blog....i take it this is the blog he wanted HF and Chez to write stuff for and then claim the credit himself? honestly when I think back that's really funny..the blog came across as if it was written by an 8 year old.
  23. Were they scrapping among themselves or with the Czechs?...or the locals maybe?...or the police?...
  24. Fuckin Umar?.....might have known. He used to post on a few other sites I've perused over the years. He's a self regarding bell end who thought Glen Roeder was some sort of Matt Busby figure. Got the distinct impression he thought it was ok to lecture season ticket holding Mags somtimes twice his age on why their opinons didn't count and how he knew better, despite having never been within 100 miles of SJP. A classic broadband/sky tv fan boy. Sold him a few tickets from time to time after he moved to London for his er "media career" which apparently was/is genuine. He wouldn't come into a pub to collect them at Arsenal once and then quibbled over paying face price iirc. Drummer off one forum for stating with utter conviction that homosexuallity was "unatural" and "wrong" Who is he allegdeing to work for now?.....wonder if they're aware of his enlightened views on such issues?....
