I found Griffin's recent stuff about wanting to return Britain to the racial make-up as it was in 1948 to be particularly fucking evil - especially naming a time when facism had just been defeated at the cost of millions of lives. I'm sick of the shit that people are frightened to talk about immigration - I'm not - but I do know people who in any way are taken in by this shit aren't "concerned citizens" or "true patriots" - they're racist bastards - and should have the honesty to admit it.

More to do with the transfer kitty than wages I'd bet.

Without black players?

Yep - until the UKIP/BNP can explain where the millions of jobs dependent on Eu membership would be replaced apart from bleating on about some fantasy of trading only with the white commonwealth countries they are dead in the water - that's with all the other shit aside.

If you download more than 4gb at peak times they drop you to 4Mb (from 20Mb) for 2 hrs.

I always thought the reason the NF seemed to be popular in the NE/among football fans in the early 80s was down to people not really having much experience of minorities with the NE being "whiter" than other urban areas. It's sad to see the BNP doing so well in areas where the opposite is true.

Just put the order in for the 50Mb service - special offer means its £2 less than I currently pay.

July + the Given/N'Zogbia money. Myabe the fat cunt was right all along to not spend money before it arrived.

It's an excuse I don't accept - theres been plenty shit for the past couple of years at Liverpool with no effect. Relegation is down to shit management in Kinnear and shit squad building imo - both down to MA.

Fair point but the other players from the Revie era like Bremner, Giles, Lorimer etc all seemed to go the Bobby Charlton way and became professional Leeds Cunts.

I'd argue that's a test though - compare and contrast him and his brother who I hated as our manager but I've softened to since because of his genuine love of the club. Both men spent their playing lives with one club. I can fully understand ex-players having a soft spot for clubs - see Sir Les is a good example - but I don't think this ever trumps genuine love of a properly supported club. The caveat to that is I don't think many footballers are genuine fans - they are usually too busy playing as kids/teenagers.

What I've always found astonishing is people claiming they didn't know how bad smoking was for you before masses starting dying - I think the breathlessness and shit that they cough up was a pretty big fuck off clue.

Had a look last night - loved the way "nice" photos were juxtaposed with flange - some of them pretty extreme. Also loved the way they blacked out blokes faces but obviously left lasses.

There was supposedly a game when we played Man U which was either the 0-1 in 96 or the 99 cup final when he firmly nailed his colours to the (wrong) mast on Sky Sports. Didn't see it myself but I've seen it referred to quite a few times.

One of the downsides of watching just about every episode of House this year is the hypocondria of all the weird diseases I'm convinced I have or could catch.

I've had a few rants in the past - now I just dismiss it pretty much out of hand - I honestly think I've heard enough of huge tracts of genres to know its unlikely I'll ever like them. That has become a lot easier in the last few years with radio/tv stations and even pubs/clubs which I know will "insulate" me from hearing anything mainstream or "different".

Unless I have a particular recent new issue, I like to use my Zen in random mode in order to "dig up" things I havem't listended to for ages - this sometimes then leads to focusing on that band for a few days or at home.

Soz didn't meant to offend - sometime I just think people like to boast how wide their tastes are whereas I know what I like and stick to it. Did you buy all the "box ticking" stuff or did you download it out of interest? - one of the underused arguments for illegal downloading is the "check out other genres" one which I have certainly done in a limited way. When I said "guitar" I meant in context - I know there are people like George Benson and others like those you mention who are technically brilliant but in the context of jazz/funk/soul it does nothing for me.

I have enough trouble getting through stuff I like - I'm not interested in stuff I know I won't. I know there are people who pride themselves on eclectic music taste but I'm honest - I know I'm "narrow minded" in (mostly) only liking guitar based music but I'm not going to listen to shit just for prestige.

I have about 9000 songs over 50Gb - not a second of any ot those named.

Stephen Fry described it on room 101 as Aussie inflective speaking and I think he's right - I've worked with a few Aussies and they are the biggest culprits but I've noticed a lot of teens/early twenties in Essex/London doing it as well. An oldie but goldie from me is fuckers committing suicide on my train line - just got in two hours late.

150k x 150 Euros is 22.5m - not enough to fund them - even another 40m in STs wouldn't do it. I'd imagine that the money for wages comes from the same source as ours - TV rights. I'd also imagine that transfers are funded by loans Shepherd style - I'm open to correction on that though.

I know a lad who's an engineer for BA and they get all the reports on air crash causes - his consistent reply to what happened is always "shit maintenance" which isn't exactly comforting. He only ever flies BA.

There wouldn't be universal support - look at the fuckers who objected to the new ground. It's a pity Tyne & Wear was abolished - I would have loved the reaction if it had been mooted for all of those areas to pitch in. Edit - Of course the TWDC did facilitate the SOL but you aren't allowed to mention that.

One of the things that saddened me about the last visit to Barca was a load of these members who were invariably old trying to flog their unwanted match tickets to people outside the ground - why not just go to the game?
