  1. I love a good overreaction. Good player yes, but nowhere near the best in the world Who's better than him? Xavi, Iniesta, Alsonso, Ozil, Toure etc ...Fabregas, Busquets, Modric, Schweinsteiger

  3. I intended to stay up for it but fell asleep on the sofa I think I might pop the DVD in tonight. Fiennes portrayal of Goeth is staggeringly good. It reeks of pure evil.
  4. Watched Schindler's List last night. Definitely Spielberg's best.
  5. Weekends away? It doesn't need to be expensive. Or you could just go out on day trips at the weekend? Are you bored of doing the same thing? Or bored of each other?
  6. I couldn't cry over a game a football... it's just not that important. However, I do appreciate that other people think differently and if it is such a huge part of their lives that they feel the need to cry then so be it. I won't think bad of them for that.
  7. I think dying young or in tragic circumstances gives someone a kind of mystique. Same could be said for James Dean, Marilyn Monroe or Kurt Cobain. If it was McCartney who was killed instead of Lennon, would he have had the same? Speaking purely from a personal view, it was McCartney who penned all of my favourite Beatles tracks.

    Relegation

    I'm kind of resigned to going down. Our defence is the worst I can remember in my 25 years of being a fan. Conceding late goals at Swansea, Albion and Everton might be disappointing, but they won't be the reason we go down. It was the home defeats by Wigan, Southampton and Newcastle that will do that.
  9. Absolutely nothing of note. Reading, gym work and sleeping! Will be in Bangkok 3 weeks today so having a few quiet weekends before then.
  10. Typical modern day footballer. That being said... would we be any different? Chance to double your wage and sign a longer contract than what your current employers would offer.
  11. Never knew it was closing! I remember when it was put up... I even worked there for a while. Star City is a dump. I remember going there on the opening night (they had a nightclub called Mustard, I think)... it was decent back then. Full of words removed now.

    They probably don't have a UK driving licence anyway!

    Anyone on EE comment on how their 4G speeds are?

    Phone Contracts

    You know, I don't think I have actually ever sat down and studied to see if i could get a better deal in ages. I am the perfect customer for a company - apathetic! I could probably save myself a pretty penny by looking at my electric provider, landline/broadband package, as well as your suggestion above. Right, that is now my mission!

    59! Two Yorkshire teams were my downfall!

    Phone Contracts

    O2. Switched to O2 a few years back when they were the only carriers of the iPhone. Got it on the standard £35 a month contract. After 18 months, when my commitment was up I downgraded to a sim only contract. I pay £16.50 a month now... I think I get 200 mins (average use is about 5 mins a month!), 1000 texts and 1gb of data. I think. Whatever it is, its more than enough as I never go over the £16.50, apart from when I'm abroad. No real loyalty to O2. They have been ok over the 3 and a half years I have been with them. Probably had to call them 3 times maximum.
  17. A lad at work found out that his countryside cottage might come under the compulsory purchase scheme. Naturally, he's angry and furious.
  18. Watched The Matrix last night... probably the first time I have watched it in one go since I watched it at the Erdington Showcase in the late 90's (i think?). I still think it looks very fresh. I forgot how good it was as well.

    I am! Just put Automatic For The People on The pavements were the worst day that they have been all week.
  21. One of the alleged indecent assaults Stuart Hall has been charged with happened 45 years ago! The rape 36 years ago As has been mentioned above, what evidence have the CPS seen that has persuaded them to seek a criminal conviction. The prosecution now has to prove beyond reasonable doubt that he did it. Bar him admitting it, i can't see how they will be able to do that? I'm guessing there can be no forensic evidence
  22. Ha! Nailing a dwarf/midget is on my bucket list. Preferably female.
  23. I refuse to attend Christmas parties held in January out of sheer principle. December or don't bother!
  24. Work Just can't get fully motivated this year. I generally like my job.. bar a few aspects (red tape) and for what I do, taking into account bonuses etc, I would class myself as reasonably well paid. I'm 33, live in a nice area, have multiple holidays a year and have enough saved away that I don't worry about losing my job Yet... I'm just pissed off and can't help thinking I want to throw it all away and travel the world doing **** all until its all gone. Am I on the verge of a mid-life crisis?!
