I can't wait for the Babe v/s Lassie that will no doubt eventuate a few years down the track.

there's been a few of those - ask Rantin ;-)

see RR another thread you get dragged into

it's a PB 'love in'

well I've copied this from a locked thread beacuse I liked what I put :-)

There is an argument about the number of goals CC got last year. Well it's four premiership goals, the same as crouch. And the only reason I'm moaning is because it is not an outright transfer. IF Cole was that adamant about doing anything to get his career on line then why not ask to leave?

Why not insist that if he signs for us it's permanent?

Jon, sorry but I cannot take the view of him being a Villa player until we own his contract outright.

And as Villa fans do have a liking for scapegoats then a loanee is going to fit our requirements very well.

Well the second quotes are far far better but what would you really expect.

So our forwards for the season are (and in my interpretation of preference)

JPA

DV

CC

MA

LM

SM (who must be pretty peed off we've signed CC)

MA mk2 and far younger :-)

which if Makan does leave, leaves us with a pretty inexperience Fw linw after JPA / DV who is still young himself

lots said about Darius and Gareth.

Yet FIVE people reckon we need to get rid of Gav McCann - WHY?

avfcinwales, come on then I'll play ball on this. What is 'it' in your eyes as from what I saw last season Liam, Whitts, both Moores, MD(injury permitting), Nobby ditto, GB, Gav, Daruis and Hitz certainly had the 'It' I was looking for

IT in my eyes being the ability to play in the prem and compete in it. All of these proved themselves to be worthy of wearing the shirt and competing in it. They all show a desire and all of them have certainly improved from wher they were at the start of last season. As has the team's ability overall.

too many training sessions playing three touch football at the age of 12. It only encourages you to get rid of the ball too quickly

and where was the Lee Hendrie option ;-)

ahem BOTH Beckham's missed pens cost England

if the one v France had gone in England would be playing Greece tonight

hunt for scapegoat over

Lee Hendrie :oops: :-)

with spain out that's three votes gone

fair enough

there was Cocu thread that was just nuts (no-one even spotted what I did there ;-) )

now you get called a clown - so he is a (coco)nut too

ha ha been on a few subjects now and seen this clown appear, nothing much but a sad little boy.. of course not to forget it is half term!

Moving on....

hope you have a very nice flamproof coat

Richard is numero uno poster and is generally a very optimistic and honest Villa fan. And FWIW he's actually very old ;-)

no doubt as he is omnipresent on the board he will post before I even reply

richard are u the same guy that said taylor wanted to sign martin laursen aswell????

indeed he is

in fact Taylor wanted to sign Rischard as his PR man ;-)

Bellamy

you really are having a laff

Made me chuckle....

History Lessons-This will make u laugh out loud!

The following excerpts are actual answers given on history tests and in

Sunday school quizzes by children between 5th and 6th grade ages in

Ohio. They were collected over a period of three years by two teachers.

Read carefully for grammar, misplaced modifiers, and of course,

spelling!

---------------------------------------------------------------------

Ancient Egypt was old. It was inhabited by gypsies and mummies who all

wrote in hydraulics. They lived in the Sarah Dessert. The climate of

the Sarah is such that all the inhabitants have to live elsewhere.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

Moses led the Hebrew slaves to the Red Sea where they made unleavened

bread, which is bread made without any ingredients. Moses went up on

Mount Cyanide to get the ten commandos. He died before he ever reached

Canada but the commandos made it.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Solomon had three hundred wives and seven hundred porcupines. He was a

actual hysterical figure as well as being in the bible. It sounds like

he was sort of busy too.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

The Greeks were a highly sculptured people, and without them we wouldn't

have history. The Greeks also had myths. A myth is a young female

moth.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Socrates was a famous old Greek teacher who went around giving people

advice. They killed him. He later died from an overdose of wedlock which

is apparently poisonous. After his death, his career suffered a

dramatic decline.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

In the first Olympic games, Greeks ran races, jumped, hurled biscuits,

and threw the java. The games were messier then than they show on tv

now.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Julius Caesar extinguished himself on the battlefields of Gaul. The

Ides of March murdered him because they thought he was going to be made

king. Dying, he gasped out "Same to you, Brutus."

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Joan of Arc was burnt to a steak and was canonized by Bernard Shaw for

reasons I don't really understand. The English and French still have

problems.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Queen Elizabeth was the "Virgin Queen," As a queen she was a success.

when she exposed herself before her troops they all shouted "hurrah!"

and that was the end of the fighting for a long while.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

It was an age of great inventions and discoveries. Gutenberg invented

removable type and the Bible. Another important invention was the

circulation of blood.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Sir Walter Raleigh is a historical figure because he invented cigarettes

and started smoking.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Sir Francis Drake circumcised the world with a 100 foot clipper which

was very dangerous to all his men.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

The greatest writer of the Renaissance was William Shakespeare. He was

born in the year 1564, supposedly on his birthday. He never made much

money and is famous only because of his plays. He wrote tragedies,

comedies, and hysterectomies, all in Islamic pentameter.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Writing at the same time as Shakespeare was Miguel Cervantes. He wrote

Donkey Hote. The next great author was John Milton. Milton wrote

Paradise Lost Since then no one ever found it.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

Delegates from the original 13 states formed the Contented Congress.

Thomas Jefferson, a Virgin, and Benjamin Franklin were two singers of

the Declaration of Independence. Franklin discovered electricity by

rubbing two cats backward and also declared, "A h orse divided against

itself cannot stand." He was a naturalist for sure. Franklin died in

1790 and is still dead.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

Abraham Lincoln became America's greatest Precedent. Lincoln's mother

died in infancy, and he was born in a log cabin which he built with his

own hands Abraham Lincoln freed the slaves by signing the Emasculation

Proclamation.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

On the night of April 14, 1865, Lincoln went to the theater and got shot

in his seat by one of the actors in a moving picture show. They believe

the assinator was John Wilkes Booth, a supposingly insane actor. This

ruined Booth's career.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Johann Bach wrote a great many musical compositions and had a large

number of children. In between he practiced on an old spinster which he

kept up in his attic. Bach died from 1750 to the present. Bach was the

most famous composer in the world and so was Handel. Handel was half

German, half Italian, and half English. He was very large.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Bethoven wrote music even though he was deaf. He was so deaf that he

wrote loud music and became the father of rock and roll. He took long

walks in the forest even when everyone was calling for him. Beethoven

expired in 1827 and later died for this.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

The nineteenth century was a time of a great many thoughts and

inventions. People stopped reproducing by hand and started reproducing

by machine. The invention of the steamboat caused a network of rivers to

spring up.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Cyrus McCormick invented the McCormick raper, which did the work of a

hundred men.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Louis Pasteur discovered a cure for rabbits but I don't know why.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Charles Darwin was a naturalist. He wrote the Organ of the Species. It

was very long people got upset about it and had trials to see if it was

really true. He sort of said God's days were not just 24 hours but

without watches who knew anyhow? I don't get it. -

--------------------------------------------------------------------

Madman Curie discovered radio. She was the first woman to do what she

did. Other women have become scientists since her but they didn't get to

find radios because they were already taken.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

Karl Marx was one of the Marx Brothers. The other three were in the

movies. Karl made speeches and started revolutions. Someone in the

family had to have a job, I guess.

Come on the Czechs, Rosicky, Nedved and Koller will fire them to glory

50/1 Koller top score (totesport) is a good bet

as is 25/1 Makaay (hills / paddypower)

then hope for a 3-3 draw with two hat-tricks in the group stages

quiet day Kalim_a, I've not had chance to read all these yet but they are good

of course we can

and lets face it if the top five are 'set in stone' then we are by far the best placed of the other 87 clubs to break in

Not England

BTW, in the "Sweden" option, who is Tommy???

Tommy allback did you not know :oops:

my mistake to be honest. I wanted to put the Danes in and got confuddled

I notice you didnt put the Krauts in the list

and no-one has voted for them!

one of these 'favourites' or someone else

On a transatlantic flight, a plane passes through a severe storm. The turbulence is awful, and things go from bad to worse when one wings struck by lightning.

One woman in particular loses it. Screaming, she stands up at the front of the plane.

"I'm too young to die," she wails. Then she yells, "Well, if I'm going to die, I want my last minutes on earth to be memorable! Is there anyone on this plane who can make me feel like a WOMAN?"

For a moment there is silence. Everyone has forgotten their own peril.

They all stare. Eyes riveted, at the desperate woman in the front of the plane.

Then a man from Texas stands up in the rear of the plane. He is handsome: tall, well built, with dark brown hair and hazel eyes. He starts to walk slowly up the aisle, unbuttoning his shirt, one button at a time.

No one moves.

He removes his shirt. Muscles ripple across his chest. She gasps...

He whispers, "Iron this -- and then get me a fu**ing beer."
