Don't get me started on the levels of fuckwittery at channel 4 on programming - they completely messed up Babylon 5 first time around - not showing it for weeks, sometimes out of order and then showed the final 5 eps of a meticulously plotted arc which had been building for 5 years at 9:30am as part of "the bigger breakfast" one xmas holidays - complete with the bigger breakfast logo on the screen and moronic voiceovers around all the ad breaks. I honestly came the closest I ever have to contemplating murder which says something as I harbour a lot of dark thoughts as a rule. Another shout out goes to Andi Peters who some fuckwit gave a job to at channel 4 and he proceeded to buy Angel and thinking it was just like Buffy scheduled it a 6pm hacked to ribbons. Cunts the lot of them. PS I forgot how much they messed around with The West Wing as well showing they haven't improved.

I think what is more likely to be holding things up is the price of the club, the size of the overdraft and the debt owed to Ashley. Keith Harris being away for a long weekend isn't going to hold up anything at all. I realise that - I just expect the twats to be on the case 24/7.

What pissed me off in that (otherwise spot on) was the note that Harris had been away "on a short break" - if that has held anything up its a fucking disgrace and the twat should lose money for it.

A mate of mine has a full A-team collection but actually revels in how ridiculously shit it is.

Anyone else remember trying to swim like he did? - fucking impossible

Totally agree. I reckon from the age of 5 to 14, 95% of my living thoughts were about football. Even worse though are blokes who just don't like football, I haven't got one male mate who is a football hater, I don't think I could have neither. How can you have a mate who doesn't like football? I didn't meet anyone who was working class who didn't like football until I started work - that was a lad who is still a mate from Shiremmor who just didn't get it. Funny thing was he used to use Stevie-esque arguments about me being from South of the Tyneand being a Geordie and I always replied that football was so part of what I consiedered the Geordie identity that I couldn't really accept him as one either.

On an instinctive level I've always noticed that good managers have a strength of character and determination to win which could be described as being a cunt - I think Shearer meets the criteria on that basis. In practical terms I think its the right time - despite all the talk of an instant return I think the pressure is actually not that intense considering the realistic view of where we are.

I've said before that I've been falling out of love with football in general and especially NUFC for the last 3 or 4 years. I don't know whether its age or just being worn down by the drudgery of game after game after game with no real pleasure. Having served my "apprenticeship" when we were really shit I honestly thought those days were behind us and mid-table premier league mediocrity was the worst thing that could happen. I've tried to be positive by playing the novelty factor for some different/new places to go this season but I can't see that lasting beyond a year. As for home games, I was finding it hard enough to be arsed to go see "big" teams so I can't see many trips in the near future.

Decided its Suede week for no apparent reason - going through the albums on the train.

I think the Shawshank Redemption is a bloody good film but I can see what he's getting at - there is a tendency for over-reverence with some films.

Should have threatened the twat with acne cream.

Probably not but strange that his mates pleaded guilty presumably on advice.

Coming soon to any inquest/trial over the G20 protest death bloke.

How the fuck can self defence be used as an excuse for punching someone who hasn't punched you? Jury full of scouse loving sub-human scum.

I've bought bits and pieces from Overclockers with no problem whatsoever - don't know about full systems.

I've had a horrible cold for a week but as far as I could see the "killer" confirming symptom is high temperature which a newly purchased thermometer (get them while they're cheap) proved I don't have.

I expect he's relying on "I have expensive lawyers therefore I'll get off" - wouldn't be surprised if it worked.

As I've said before, if we had anyone in the team who could play football which would mean Butt wouldn't have to try, he'd look useful. We need as many players as poss - the injury is a blow imo.

The guilty verdicts, leaving him as the only one on trial, should mean if convicted he'll get something good. I had thought he was looking good for a let-off but now I'm hopeful.

No suggestion of getting rid of the fucking bishops though.

I'm going to build a new fuck off PC next month - I've been sort of waiting for what I'd heard about Windows 7 to be confirmed and for them to approach commercial release.

I'm extremely cynical when it comes to the glorification of war and that usually includes remembrance services but I found last years service where this bloke attended to be extremely moving. RIP.

I'm a great believer that proper nouns should never be "translated" - I think we should refer to Germany as Deutschland etc and I'd probably extend that to the place of Bath though reluctantly . However I would still pronounce bath as in bathroom as bath.
