cheers Milenko - christmas will be a real 'cracker'* for you this year then *sorry good luck with the rest of it and here's hoping Stan follows his path with good fortune too.

**** hated re in school I just got a bit casual with the gcse and talking about the easter bunny and santa claus in typical sarcastic 15 year old kid way, plus a few ott statements like saying those who insist on teaching one doctrine ought to be shot. Still got a C somehow, although that's tempered by the RE teacher had never given anything lower than a B before I came along. :trophy: he was a decent sort, religious bias aside though, and later on I was a bit guilty I'd smudged his records somewhat, but it was SUCH a boring class and having spent the whole school life at schools where there's religious assemblies in the morning and even occasional sunday services - complete with sunday uniform :vomit: x a googleplex - that was me in full on rebellion mode. Which is admittedly rather weak, relatively speaking.

Ah, good old Notwol Whettam, sounds like a yorkshire carpet industrialist from the 18th century.

some views from clark on other fans who have met him on another board I visit :sherlock: so who knows?

ha, yes Carr now definitely on the can't stand pile, though that in fairness is for extra-comedy actions. What. A. Cock.

3km/h, that's barely moving, how did that kill her? sad accident obviously.

just switched to a news headline that read 'Samaras to be sworn in as GreekPM' and for a moment I had a proper, '**** me that's desperate' brainfart.

ah that may be the one. it's been years since I'd seen her so I may be wrong on the quality! and im just going to give up editing my post now as tim reminds me of another star. Carlin is fantastic. Sadly missed.

can't see us ever going to a comedy gig together: comedians that I like () Dara O'Brien - stand up really good fun, family friendly mostly but its good to have a mix, fairly safe to watch with family as well! Eddie Izzard - love his stuff, Dressed to Kill remains one of the all time best shows I've seen (not live!) Richard Pryor - fantastic rage comedy Bill Hicks - see above, though since leaving Uni, the draw has gone a little, not rewatched much of his stuff in a while but still great Stewart Lee - very funny, on the money, yes his style is slow and sometimes I want something faster paced, but when you're in the mood he's superb. Rowan Atkinson - his stand up show from ages ago still cracks me up so im counting this one. Bill Bailey - older stuff is better I think, then it gets a little samey, but so funny. edit: forgot Rich Hall He's hilarious, well reminded brumerican Stewart Francis - delivers one liners in a very fun dry fashion the guy with the hawaian shirts - milton something - he's good fun too. dylan moran - wonderful acerbic drunk comedy I do like Sean Lock and Chris Rock tbf, though not seen much of the latter ^ Ricky Gervais - stand up is the best thing he's done! Jasper Carrott - to prove I like a broad range, inoffensive, bluenoseness aside, comes across as a nice guy. Marcus Brigstock - appeals to the liberal in me there's a few others who I hear on the Now Show on radio 4 who are good too, but can't remember them. sue lesbian ( cant remember surname, just know she's a lesbian :oops: ) comes across a little passive aggressive on QI, but (if im remembering rightly ) her stand up was ok. Can't Stand Lee Evans: hate him, so **** annoying. frankie boyle - just annoys me now, i used to like him but a bit of a one trick pony. Sometimes I'll laugh but putting him in the not a fan pile russell brand - SUCH a bellend. SUCH an annoying nobend. peter kay - GARLIC BREAD!!!? urgh, so irritating. jo brand - like her on QI, stand up, so boring. lucy porter - would like to put a woman in the like list, and lucy porter seemed a nice option but she just talked about relationships, and relationships. otherwise not seen many female comics out there. those that spring to mind now, but there are others, will edit as and when reminded! A distinct lack of women - which always comes up in these threads but mostly as I haven't seen many.

Jail time for domestic abuse probably doesnt help either.

Good call me to miss that half! With a fiver on rooney fgs this has been an enjoyable pint!

quite glad to have missed the game so far, though will be propping into a pub soon enough to catch the second, here's hopnig it improves.

Rugger with Hats on. or American football. It seems to be called both football and gridiron over there.

what's grey and can't swim? a filing cabinet.

EDIT: changed my mind. on GAP year to Canada, generally a year of ups and downs and fun travelling, of which I suppose the most memorable was spending Christmas in a youth hostel at a skiing place - Mont Tremblant - which was beautiful and we would spend the evenings talking in this teepee tent, with folk from all over the world - then agree to go skiing the following morning. Beer would be bought, then hidden away in the snow at the beginning of the day, we'd come back get the fire going and chat away, it was for a to then rather sheltered 18 year old so much fun. A typically cool and relaxed New Yorker would regale us with shis travels, french canadians would explain ice hockey and canada's natural beauty to us, this quite literally bonkers italian guy called marco dressed up head to toe in a pink outfit would spring into the tent and we'd then agree to do some of the random slopes, where his skiing style seemed eccentric at kindest, but hilarious too. Christmas day in a hostel when everyone's cooked something and sharing the goodies was such a warm fuzzy feeling of fun, although my cake was a disaster, as I didnt have all the ingredients and I casually only thought "how important is baking powder really?" before proceeding to bake what should reasonably be properly called a 'rock'. such a smashing place, so different... how in the bollocks did I forget about that, indeed so much of canada was awesome. Going to Quebec City for it's winter carnival was up there too. and I've been stuck in **** cardiff for 8 years now that's it, I am now out of here!

one of the czechs or portugal gets to the semis? jammy gits - presumably the winner of that match plays the winner of germany v greece? ( so germany then )

point technically still stands

from sun away to chelsea nov and dec is going to be a bastard.

eh? what an odd article.suggesting we tell lambert to sign this guy faulkner likes?

Holland to win, at the least so a despicable Portugal side don't go throughx dutch behavior not much better mind.

Mon Denmark!

no thanks. he had 2/3 good games for fulham and that aside was pants. Not good enough.

Am I right in thinking its now ok to list fixtures or not? Got this vague memory there was a ruling change last year. Yeah a mixed start works for me, if anything i'd like a couple of toughies out of the way sooner and also I theorise probably slightly better chance of beating them before they have got up to speed as it were

bah my local has got rid of brains smooth and replaced it with worthington's. Boo. Having overcome hangover a short while ago, currently eyeing up my bottle of Western Gold bourbon - Lidl's finest. 8)
