  1. ‘I said to the gym instructor “Can you teach me to do the splits?” He said, “How flexible are you?” I said, “I can’t make Tuesdays”.
  2. People always pick on the smart lad in class, the visionary, the ones who are head of their time, the ones who always get the girls, the modest ones. Shame you didnt get to see it , this is what it looked like
  3. Many people would go for that however a cheaper and more stable idea would be to use a combination of [] and () ideally in a V formation. *surely there cant be much more mileage in these? CT its actually going in the bedroom Got to be a ceiling mount then, like wot rappers have.
  4. Big monster of a man did mine a few months back and literally clung on and hung from the bracket to show me how good it was. I was shitting myself thinking the wall was going to come down. Best bit of advice I would give is dont go too high. Just like all those ergomomics with pc's etc you still really want your tv watchable from the sofa with a straight head / neck. If I stand next to mine (im 5'10) the top of the tv is at shoulder level. Best thing we did, no mess etc. I also used a palstic tube behind the plaster with a hole at each end to allow for future wiring to be added, changed etc.
  5. Suppose it was about as good as they good make it , but starting to be full of holes now and getting a bit silly.
  6. Agony? 8th in the leagure Beating Sunderland 5-1 Beating Liverpool 3-1 Watching players like Tiote, Barton and Carrol Best agony in my lifetime tbh
  7. not sticking my head up my arse at all. And while I don't particularly care for the thought that other fans see us dismissing being 8th in the table, there is a long way to go yet, this season. I just don't think Mike Ashley will ever harbour any serious ambitions at this football club, a few results [defeats or wins] is neither here nor there. On the other hand, I didn't care when other fans supposedly "laughed" at us, so why give a toss if they think we are "arrogant" ? [ presume that is what you are getting at here CG ] I don't think I'm either anyway, I'm just aware we are one of the biggest clubs in the country, and I'll counter that by also admitting that we have never had the success to justify that to other supporters - hence the reason they aren't aware of how big this club should be. Good post. There is a long way to go and it was only a few weeks back i was brimming with optimism just to come crashing back down to earth when we looked shit again. Yes i do think we might look a bit arrogant by saying we are struggling because others wont look at it the way we do. They dont have the gnawing feeling at the pit of their stomach that things will go to fucking shit without warning (that all too recognisable feeling we all felt last monday) and they havent watched us all season and seen that along with the potential to play well, there is also a team of shite just waiting to dribble out the back of 11 pairs of shorts at a moment's notice. They just see the geordies are in 8th, arent they doing well. The proximity in points to 17th place is rarely mentioned. As for the ambition question, the only thing i can say is that with the new financial rules coming in, business margins and large home crowds will give us an edge over oil men and chicken farmers if expenditure is limited by turnover. A decent manager is the crux of the issue though, so who knows what Pardew will bring to that. I'm not going to disagree about large home crowds. They have to be attracted to the club though, it's not automatic, they are there but only if we can get them to come. So to that extent, your comment about "others seeing the Geordies in 8th position aren't they doing well", in my opinion that is part of my point ie others don't realise that for us, 8th position is not good enough. Thats not to say we should be booing them, just that we should be aware it's not good enough and trying to do better. Liverpool for instance are in crisis if they are not in europe. We should also be seen in this light. A decent manager, with backing, is the essence of every successful club. You need both. A good manager will leave for a club with more backing. Owen Coyle will get a bigger job than Bolton, no disrespect to Bolton. Contrary to what others insinuate I say - and I have corrected them on occasions - I don't want the club to spend tons of money and bankrupt itself, but we should be among the top speculative clubs, all the time, to tap the fanbase which is potentially even bigger than 52,000. The Keegan years showed this. What a load of shite you talk at times Leazes. There is absolutely no comparison with Liverpools success over the last 40 years to our lack of it. Liverpool used to wine everything not so long ago, we have to go back to the 50's ffs. We were in the right place at the right time under KK but still won fuck all. It was a nice ride but you seem to think that those few years in the last 50 give us all sort of stature rights. Your just plain daft at times.
  8. CT's opinion is we can push for 4th though. There's a fine line to be walked keeping opposing fans from cringing to be sure. Sometimes your anger is so obvious for whats gon before that it spoils your enjoyment of here and now. My point was that had we being slightly more luckier and not lost Ben Arfa or Barton there is a good chance we would have fun a few more games. We are only 9 points off 4th ffs. A majority of this board is so infuritaed with Ashley taht they cant see the wood for the trees. When all were predicting a drop straight into division two we romped the championship. When all were predicting a season of dread in the prem, we are doping quite well and could easily be doing a lot better wit a little luck. Ashley has made some big errors but thank fuck he arrived when he did and Im sure we have more chance of staying up and becoming succesful under him than we do with some short term arab or indian chicken farmer.
  9. Just got a jehovas witness advent calender, everytime you open a door, someone tells you to fuck off.
  10. So is your opinion that if he hadnt bought us we would now have gone.
  11. http://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/newcastle-u...72703-27822483/
  12. Seen this picture a few times now and cant really remember the goal celebration. But, did the celebrate at the far end or did Krul run up the pitch to celebrate with them???
  13. Probably just a bad case of Saturday Night Fever.
  14. He's a gent among shithounds, tbf. I've always like Gibson for his commitment to a club where the fanbase is about as committed as Jonas going into a 50/50.
  15. Thank fuck we've got Pardew tied down for 5 years.
  16. Fat sam sacked, Boro into Admin, all we need now is for Nail Quinn to be arrested for peadophilia.
  17. Far too long to read (and probably depressing) but my quick skip through and conclusion would be.... We were fucked and heading for administration.......Saved by Ashley.......Now starting to look healthy.......Shame he couldnt run the club well while saving our arse.
  18. Woke up with it yesterday and feel even worse today. (Also just nearly entered the ultimate secret forum upstairs by choking on a bacon butty).
  19. and various others http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/gallery...309&index=0
  20. Videos just all multi coloured for me and wont play......What happened next? The elephant jumps 30ft to the left at the last minute. Massive leap
