  1. Lubuntu, Oracle virtualbox. Works a treat. Boom!
  2. According to dictionary.com, we should no longer be applying "goat" to football managers, so I think we should move on from sounding like twelve year old children in a bus shelter. noun 1. any of numerous agile, hollow-horned ruminants of the genus Capra, of the family Bovidae, closely related to the sheep, found native in rocky and mountainous regions of the Old World, and widely distributed in domesticated varieties. 2. any of various related animals, as the Rocky Mountain goat. 3. (initial capital letter) Astronomy, Astrology. the constellation or sign Capricorn. 4. a scapegoat or victim. 5. a licentious or lecherous man; lecher. Idioms 6. get one's goat, Informal. to anger, annoy, or frustrate a person: His arrogance gets my goat.
  3. Jesus. We didn't even comment when he went.
  4. kosGOAT. lolnarrative. What is this? Why is this the second thread I've seen today where English isn't being used?
  5. I don't remember the stewards behaving like this when we were trying to get Doug out. Is this the agency staff that have replaced half of the sacked stewards? Because, you know, nothing screams "this is an awesome club" to tourists and away fans more than a club with absolutely no staff that actually support the club they work at.
  6. I'm sorry @lapal_fan, I didn't want to be the fun police. I just found it shit, and people agreed.
  7. I'm coming into classical a bit these days. Oddly enough, it comes from my original love of techno, so I started really getting into people like Tangerine Dream, Pete Namlook...these have led me onto Terry Riley and Philip Glass....before you know it, BAM! Handel. There's an astonishing array of modern classical/electronic crossover out there that I'm always looking out for....
  8. The "single pringle" was where it lost me. I've never heard anyone say "single pringle" in my life, or even knew it was a phrase. 3/10 would not repost
  9. Perhaps it's just me being modern or very droll, but I really don't think when a man says "Can I sit here?" that he's after cheeky action. Maybe it's just because when I ask, I want to sit down in a busy pub. I get the feeling I'm basically like father Stone in Father Ted. Does anyone remember the nob punch one, something to do with a doctor or something? It looked like some sort of childish game, when you make some sort of sign before punching someone. No idea
  10. Is is in incredibly bad thing to day I have no idea what the joke is here? It was like the nob punch one this guy did. I didn't get that on either.
  11. It makes perfect sense to me. My heart isn't in it anymore, BoA ML are instructed to put the club on the market. Tom Fox says he's now motivated again. Hollis says we're still cost cutting and it'll be addressed. Spent over 50 mill of cash. No cash available for new manager, who indicates there was cash. Nobody knows what we're doing. Not even our own board. Answer the questions or get the hell out.
  12. Horace Andy is such a ledge, as the young ones would say.
  13. What complete and utter bellend. I can't even bring myself to comment on this, as there are so many things wrong with it.
  14. Pretty sure at this stage there won't be a reaction from the club. There's not much point- especially since a statement would be a politician-style spiel which is unlikely to pacify the fans. They need to feel the heat, and this looks like it could work. Lerner needs a big nudge to remind him that he's not getting nowhere near his price, and he needs to get out.
  15. Well that's the soundtrack to my teenage years right there. Looking at Ben Drury's artwork for South, it's worth noting that Turin Brakes' new album is sounding good. Tenuous artwork link. Joel Cadbury from South should be recording something with Toydrum. I really hope he does.
  16. Perhaps it requires a few more listens, but I was really disappointed with this EP after a first listen. It seemed a bit dull and sombre. And that's a really hard thing for me to say, as I'm a massive fan of David Holmes. I've been lamenting his move into only soundtracks, as The Free Association and Holy Pictures albums are bloody brilliant.
  17. I take back my thinly veiled slur at stacey flounders for sticking by him. She's had a lot of flack. But clearly split and everything has been kept private. Fair play. Poor kid.
  18. That's a fair point, but he's still guilty of seeing a tactic failing for two years and then thinking, "you know what, more of this on an epic scale and we'll break through!" He should have seen it coming, too. The American civil war was plenty of warning....but that's an unfair accusation to him. The German command at Verdun were equally as shit. They were all slow to adapt.
  19. I can't even remember the portrayal in Blackadder. I have more of a problem with him seeming to not understand that underground reinforced concrete withstands explosive bombardment and walking in lines across mud after blowing a whistle to let the enemy know you're coming when they're armed with Maxim machine guns is incredibly stupid.
  20. True, but most are. I'm going to put in a shout for "Stonewall" Jackson. Worst general in history has to be Haig.
  21. I am appalled by the Generals mentioned so far. Where are Patton and Monty?!
  22. Don't pretend you've never made little squeaky noises accompanied by, "wicked! Wicked! Junglist massiv!" We all did it Tony.
