    Blur Vs Oasis

    Pulp by a huge majority. Neither Noel or Damon are fit to lace Jarvis's boots.
  2. Seriously though, if you have kids I think it's nicer if they have the same surname as both parents.
  3. Yes she should, and be grateful for it.....!
  4. My favourite food is cheese. Mmmmmm, cheese! I love cheese me!
  5. Bloody hell there's a blast from the past! I used to have a Vectrex, absolutely loved the asteroids game. £140 seems a bit steep for one though!
  6. I predict anybody "looking forward" to the new Star Wars film is going to feel mightily let down, again! For the third time running! If the first two are anything to go on, it's going to be a pile of gibbon poo. They REALLY shouldn't have bothered, the first three (ie episode 4, 5 and 6, actually that pisses me off wondering what to call them all, I mean, who actually makes the last three films first, then plays catch up? Duh!) were great films, now tainted by the travesties that are the newest ones.

    Villa managers

    It's a hard one this, big Ron did very well, back when the Prem was a bit more of a level playing field. After our 2-0 win against Sheffield Wednesday, I was fully convinced that we were going to be champions. I think he just shades it over Sir Brian, as some of the football we played under Ron was truly outstanding. Sir Brian is a very, very close second though.
  8. There is no topic, not one that I can see anyway.
  9. These polls purely for the pruposes of posturing and effect rather than an actual desire to debate a worthwhile point are starting to do my head in. Enough please.
  10. The best superhero film is Mystery Men. Hilarious stuff.
  11. Oh my god, all of the Batman films have seriously sucked ass. Anyway, strictly speaking he's not a superhero, as he doesn't have any powers!
  12. I bet you're a fun bloke to have at a dinner party Rev! "I don't believe in the artificial categorisation of music, actually!" :wink: Anyway I voted for the 90's. Too young to really remember the 70's, and I grew up in the 80's so that was a close second (particulalrly as it's the decade of The Smiths) But for just the sheer amount of brilliant albums you just can't beat the 90's, and that's the deacde I was at uni too, and really started to see a lot of live music.
  13. What happened to Wispas? Did they just stop making them, or have they been rebranded as Cadbury's something or other along with everything else? Was it the crapness of the Mel Smith and Griff rhys Jones adverts that made everybody stop eating them?
  14. And as for the drummer in the Housemartins (Hugh Whittaker) I met him a few times and a nicer more down to earth bloke you couldn't hope to meet. He was roundly ripped off by a business associate, so he responded in the only possible way: tried to burn down the bloke's house and do him in with an axe! Could have happened to any of us!
  15. Don't anybody slag off the Railway Children if you don't mind! Certainly they don't deserve mentioning in the same breath as the lamentable Northside! And as for the Housemartins in my opinion one of the great bands of the eighties. Bitter, acerbic lyrics wrapped up in great pop tunes, and absolutely superb live. London 0, Hull 4 is still an album that I listen to regularly.
  16. Is there a smiley for pointing a gun to your head and pulling the trigger?! If there isn't there should be!
  17. I think my favourite Smiths track is Ask. "Spending warm summer days indoors, writing frightening verse, to a buck toothed girl in Luxembourg" I really can't think of a band as consistently brilliant as The Smiths, or one who mean as much to me. Although at the time I was almost as big a fan of The Housemartins.
  18. The Smiths are the best band ever. And that's official that is!
  19. For what it's worth, I think Hasslebaink will guarantee 15 - 20 goals a season if he's first choice, whatever team he plays for, and I can see Izzett and Savage forming quite a useful midfield partnership.
  20. Of the players you mentioned in the poll, how many of them are actually crap? Heskey certainly, but the rest are decent to very good premiership players who will improve the teams they have signed for.
  21. I don't care who anybody else has signed. All that matters is that other teams are showing more ambition than we are. Two chairmen have shown faith in their manager's judgement and backed them in the transfer market in the hope of improving their league position. Why won't ours do the same? You can be sniffy about Small Heath and Boro all you want, but though we might like to think we have a divine right to be a bigger team, eventually an ambitious team like them WILL overtake us if we continue to sit on our hands every year.
  22. Can you not start to develop your own customer base whilst working? I don't necessarily mean pinching clients, but it sounds like a business you could do from home in the evening and at weekends. It's a big step to just completely start up on your own if you haven't got financial backing. My advice would be work out what you need to live on (mortgage, food, bills etc) then see what turnover you'd need to achieve this minimum. Then think about if you have a few lean months, have you enough behind you to see you through?
  23. Surely the biggest advantage the Predators have, and humans too for that matter over Aliens is the use of vehicles. All I'd do is fly about in a heavily armoured space ship, blasting the Xenomorphs from the safety of altitude. I've just realised how much actual time I've devoted thinking about this topic, very sad!
  24. Depends on the scenario, in close quarters I'd go for Alien, but in open space I'd have to go for Predator, due to its advanced technology and heard weapons. Well the Aliens had their collective arses kicked by Sigourney Weaver on numerous occasions. I'd fancy Arnie to kick Sigourney's ass in a fight, so the only logical conclusion is that Predator would win. Anyway looking forward to the film.
