It's got no problem with very strong langiuage - I know that much - going as far as the C word.

I've seen a few clips which I liked but have never seen a full episode - its in my list of "shows I must get around to" which I'm ashamed to say also includes The Sopranos.

I think I mentioned after the West Ham game in September that I was very worried about what Cole did to him - I think that fear has been realised against other "strong" strikers.

That's my view which means there may be hope - I honestly think he looked decent early on but has lost form and now looks less suited to the English game than he did at the start of the season. Maybe the "decent but not suited" does apply - I think the same of Boumsong.

Yep- his wife had an affair with a student and the funny thing was she'd just ended the affair and the BJ was a "last fling". One of his kids also died. John Irving is probably the only "high brow" author I like.

The fuckers better do the same against the Mackems.

I still think they may lose both their games - if we actually win 2 they could still be fucked. Only if Hull can win one though, which is doubtful. Last day at home with Man U having won the title and preparing for Rome could be a chance.

It's good that Pompey lost - they'll have to go for it next Monday.

Watched High Fidelity last night - had seen it before but still enjoyed it a lot - anyone who whinges about the transfer to the US should just imagine Hugh Grant as Rob. I'm a fan of John Cusack - Gross Pointe Blank is probably one of my top 5 films.

I may have discovered a new magic bullet. I woke up yesterday morning at 4am with a toothache and couldn't get back to sleep. It eased a bit over the next couple of hours so I went to work and booked a trip to the dentists for Monday. Got in last night and it went absolutely nuclear - stayed up until 2am waiting for it to ease to the point of making sleep possible. Got up this morning and after a dullish start it started to go mental again so I went to the chemists and bought some Anbesol gum gel which within half an hour seems to have completely stopped the pain. Of course it could be coincidence and the nerve has died but looking good at the moment.

Wonder if they'll pay us back with their profits. NR certainly have to be fair.

It looks like banks are getting back into profit going by first quarter figures (though RBS made a small loss) so I would guess the bottom has been hit. Of course its probably cyclical as ever but I think the armageddon stuff is bollocks as well.

I honestly think making anything "natural" illegal is taking the piss - maybe processing as far as cocaine/heroin/acid is another argument but actual plants is ridiculous.

Play the stress induced illness card.

I occasionally go to the virgin media site (to check problem status etc) and they seem to be pushing an almost old AOL type idea where people access everything via the ISP "portal".

I'm honest enough to admit that my aniti-BBC licence stance is tempered by how much I use their website (as opposed to their TV output). I read something a while ago which suggested that the way forward might be via the ISPs who could offer either different packages akin to Sky TV ones which include access to all sites or various subsets, or they could charge by page access on a pay as you go basis.

I saw that one. I used to go out with a lass whose best mate had to have a reduction - joking aside she did have genuine back problems and had to take great care walking down stairs.

Both games were cheating contests - after all his diving in the first leg, it serves Alves right that he misses the final.

I wasn't bothered but seeing the look on Ashley Cheat's face when they scored changed it - fuck off you cockney scum. The only downside is that the Italians will only get one kicking instead of two.

In the short term the two years/failure would be hard to explain - in the long term if you make a career of something then it will be meaningless. I've mentioned before on here that I dropped out of university but now that is meaningless. As others have said, if you can do the work I think you should.

We should have a Gold section just for Stevie stuff like this.

The problem is the 3/4 point gap - if it wa 0/1 or even 1/2 then I'd agree - that's why I'm still expecting relegation tbh.

You may be thinking of the derby in 85 - that was when there was loads in the Fullwell.

I read that - I presumed him and the Taylor bitch had sat iaround giggling with a laptop knocking up that particular load of shite.
