My mate is now in a Marie Curie Centre in Cardiff to try to bring the pain under control. He's struggling a bit They're looking to ease his pain somewhat by having an operation to install a "nerve blocker". Again, not so much as it shouldn't piss me off as it blatantly should. His fiancée (who also suffers from cancer) is bearing up OK thank goodness. I'm watching (and supporting) the Stand Up to Cancer thing on C4 tonight.

Amazing. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qGlF4Wtf1WM&feature=player_embedded

Haha! That did just genuinely make me LOL!

Well the moment where he was sat on the edge of the capsule was pretty bloody awesome. Now that was entertainment.

Feel like I need cheering up so my viewing this evening: Brilliant film!

Having a heavy cold or flu and having phoned up work to say that I'm not feeling well (I've been in bed for the past 2 days near enough!), the boss remarks "that's a shame getting the flu after your long leave". I didn't plan this. Sat here with the shivers, constant sweat and cough doesn't sound like I'd be doing the office any favours by turning back after leave. I would love to be back in work But no, I'm made to feel guilty.

I've been a few times but a while ago (2007-2008). We sought of stuck around Temple Bar but we loved it! I would love to visit the place again soon. Highlights from the trips: -Seemingly drunk taxi driver calling everyone "chicken" (including bikers who pulled up alongside: "Hello Chicken!") -Seemingly drunk taxi driver whom stuck to his word and picked us up at 7am from the hotel 3 days later and even waited half an hour whilst we remembered, thought "oh shit" and promptly got dressed. Seemingly drunk taxi driver wasn't as drunk as he sounded. -Going to the Guinness Storehouse where once we got to the top, friendly bar dude gave us 2 pints each for "looking like we needed it". -Seeing the "Guinness Ambulance"!! -A road trip out to Sligo. Just as we entered the place, I was dying for a pee, so we dashed for the nearest pub. Walked in and distinctly noticed the strange atmosphere (people looking up from their newspapers, others stopping talking). "Uh Oh" we thought. We ended up having a few pints chatting to the locals asking where we're from etc.

Remember the Honda advert? This is amazing

Whenever I visit the Wensleydale Creamery in Hawes I buy loads of different cheeses with stuff in (after tasting every one of them of course). My favourite was the clotted cream and strawberry cheese that they had as a special "one off" - it was bloody awesome.

I was about to post Lex Luther but that beats it

Thanks for the hard work, Simon. It looks great and seems to be running much faster. Would it be possible to offer a few themes though, please? Maybe one with a claret background and one with a blue background to the thread listing? I used to run a vbulletin-based site (very bloated!) but I loved the way you could add lots of themes and users could select the theme from their control panel. (I also liked to enforce really nasty themes on problematic members whom I didn't want to ban . Oooohhh and offer really Christmassy themes in December )

Better than being "Player Manager"

Make love to that guitar! (3:49 onwards). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iZmvtqODdvE

I've found that the images have to be less than 50Kb.

Ah, so it is!

Bravo on the title change.

Having done nothing for the past week apart from slump out of bed at a leisurely pace at 11am, do myself a full fry up, watch Only Fools and Horses and do a bit of DIY. I love having time off.

Apparently, there is a quote from him on the documentary tonight (referring to Gary Glitter in 2000): International Business Times

...and as The Times states

From his autobiography no less: Saville writes of an incident at the Mecca Locarno ballroom in Leeds, where he worked as a DJ during the 1950s, when a female police officer came in with a photograph of “an attractive girl who had run away from a remand home”. I kid you not

Louis Theroux posted this to facebook:

This is before getting stupidly drunk - I've heard some bad news. My good mate who is suffering from cancer (you may remember me posting about it a while ago when his girlfriend come to stay whilst he was at Hammersmith) has been told that it is terminal. This news comes as she too fights breast cancer. I **** hate life sometimes. Happy weekend indeed.
