  1. I don't get the hype, but I think it's decent. Some comedy is clever, makes you think, really impressive. Some is just gags, escapism and great for unwinding without taxing the brain. The Big Bang Theory is the second type, but both have their place. (oh, and it's much better than 2 1/2 men)
  2. True, it's very unlikely that GH would be taking about how many points Villa needed if he wasn't our manager. If it was Steve Mclaren however, I don't think we'd be any better off.
  3. Just crack a beer open and have a day off. It's an excuse for beer.
  4. This worked well a few years ago, but the 'credit crunch' means there are a lot less of there offers available now, and you have to have a very good credit rating to get them. It can still be done, but it's not so easy now.
  5. Just try to remember, every time you use your credit card, you are taking a loan. This loan will have to be paid back, with interest and charges for late payments etc. However convenient and easy a credit card is, compared to taking a bank loan or similar, always bear in mind, taking a loan is what you are doing. It is not cash!
  6. Not to sure who made this, or how agenda driven it is, but interesting none the less: http://www.voterpower.org.uk/

    Cardiff

    Didn't know there was one in Cardiff. The one in Bristol is excellent both for beer and food. The pizza is highly recommended if it's the same standard.
  8. 1) Goldeneye 2) Mariokart 3) Championship Manager 01/02 That is all.
  9. How many full houses did we have this season? My guess is you'd probably be ok. Give him your client reference and that will probably be ok. Explain that you are flying in from Poland, and they will probably let you pick your ticket up on the day.
  10. Bickster, If I understood correctly, you still intend to vote "No"? Given that a no vote is effectively a vote in favour of FPTP, would you not be better off spoiling your ballot paper / not voting in order to register dissatisfaction at both choices? Apologies if you already covered this. No, I actually think FPTP is a better system than AV on the grounds that it doesn't marginalise small parties as much. Plurality of opinion is important and anything that marginalises (as AV surely does) smaller parties is not good, its not "better" and its not "fairer". I don't accept the idea that AV will make people "pander" to supporters of other parties in this country that simply won't happen, you need more than two large parties and a third "balance of power" party for that to happen. What will happen is that the Third (by quite some distance) party will always hold more power than the second placed party unless those two parties combine to have a coalition over the first placed party in which case the most favoured party doesn't get to form a Govt. AV will place too much power in the hands of the third placed party in this country. It simply isn't sensible to be used in a country such as ours. Which is why its a bad system for Australia and a good system for Papua New Guinea (lots of small parties split on a tribal basis) It's usefulness is in a country where there are lots more parties with more equal standing to each other. We should use its first cousin the single transferable vote in the EU elections for that reason. It is of no use in domestic elections. If there was a third No option of "I want electoral reform but AV is not the answer" I'd vote that, but as someone else pointed out, they are too shit scared to put that as an option. Fair enough I don't necessarily agree but I can see where you're coming from and it's a fair enough position.

  12. And how much it is for non-season ticket holders / where you get tickets? (Is it on the turnstile for a reserve game?)
  13. I don't think it's to worrying personally. A lot of what would have previously been reserve players have been far more involved in the first team this year, plus all the ones that are out on loan. The point of the reserves / youth is to get players into the first team, and to that extent it seems to be working better than ever this year.
  14. I've always fancied checking a reserve game. How does it work, just pay on the turnstile or what? How much is it?
  15. Keep running outdoors, treadmills aren't the same. Do that and you'll have no problem.
  16. Well, he's more coherent than Gordon Strachan. But seriously, do people talking about Mourinho actually live on planet earth?
  17. It's not that impressive though, is it? The British Empire and the USA stormed the beaches on D-Day, but at least Bulgaria never lost any of their flags! Didn't Genghis Khan sack Bulgaria? The Mongolian Empire certainly included the area that is now Bulgaria at one time (although I think that was after Genghis Khans death). Edit :oops:
  18. Build up slowly. If you don't run much and went out and did 5 miles just like that, I'm not surprised you froze up next time! You've got to start with short runs and build on it. One or two miles is more than enough to start with and build up slowly from there.
  19. Used to listen to a bit of Bond, which I'm sure will be derided (probably correctly) by the purists. Have to admit, it's been some time since I listened to any classical stuff.
