He sounded like Lily Savage to me.

Sort of. Players get signed for two years with the academy, with the option on a third year. Mooy was offered the third year but chose not to take it.

Watch The Way of the Dragon. He got twatted in that.

Not so. Wage bill went up.

Good read here, if you've got a few minutes. http://www.boxingscene.com/champ-passes-there-never-another-joe-frazier--45805

In 2006 it was ?28 million. Now it's ?56 million (both figures include social security costs)

Respect.

Fair point, as is SatanGreavies's. Can you make a general rule? A few years ago Jasper Carrott got into bother for a gag about Alzheimer's. It went something along the lines of "it's ok to take the piss of Alzheimer's victims because they'll write a letter of complaint but then forget to post it." I thought it was fairly amusing, but people looking after loved ones with that illness felt it was a smack in the teeth. I guess it's all about context and where the joke is told. There was a joke about the cockle pickers who drowned at Morecambe. Told in a pub, to a few lads no one would have bothered. Former MP Anne Winteron (silly cow that she was) told it at Whitehall dinner attended by VIPs.

So you'd be ok with jokes about that little Chinese kid who was run over?

It is. As Neil Warnock will know.

I really, really don't like City. But this is fucking fantastic.

In Megson's best season we got 1 point from a possible 42 against teams in the top seven. We had a manager who was the best in the business at making do and mend with a limited squad. His name was Sam Allardyce.

Jack Wilshire - Not shite, but not the boy genius he's claimed to be.

From personal experience, Ken Dodd. We went to Blackpool for a week when I was a kid. My mum was a big fan and we went to see him in concert. Afterward we waited outside the stage door for an autograph. For hours and hours. At least it seemed that way to me. Eventually he came out to be confronted by four wet, bedraggled people from Bolton, when he probably just wanted to get back to his hotel for a drink. He spent about 20 minutes chatting to my mum and dad and gave us all photographs, which he autographed individually with each of our names on. Genuinely nice guy. Met Cilla Black the same week. Utter cunt.

Cameron's in a bit of a bind. Getting rid of a Thatcherite like Fox will be another poke in the eye for the right wing of his party, who don't want to be in coalition. Of course he could show leadership (a word he mentioned in his speech last week about a million times) and get rid now, instead of in a few days time when the papers dig up something else on Fox. With the balls up he made in appointing Andy Coulson and his connections with Rebekah Brooks, you have to wonder about Cameron's judgment. Maggie Tate is right though. The present government has achieved nothing. The deficit is bigger than ever and we're on the verge of a double dip recession. Which is why they're trotting out populist crap about unemployment and immigration.

They can fuck right off then. Greedy bastards.

There's already someone serving time for it. There's already a movie planned starring that blonde bit off Heroes. And the bods at the Daily Mail published the wrong pre-prepared story http://politicalscrapbook.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/mailfail/

If it's 3*** you can use it for cleaning the bog, but make sure there are no cracks in the enamel first.

More like two days. But as said, the right size barrel needs to be ordered. Which is why real ale needs real skill to keep it.

Very true. Ricardo Vaz Te and Joey O'Brien were misdiagnosed too. Maybe we need some better quacks.

Indeed. Coe's record stood for 16 years and he spent what would have been his peak years out with illness. I get tired just reading his training regime. An average club runner would be happy with a time of 1 min 50. Coe used to run six of them in a row along the Rivelin Valley Road in Sheffield, with a break of one minute between each. Scary stuff. Anyway, I nominate Rob Green. He'd drop the torch.

Have a plus one for that.

And East Grinstead.

Bolton fans hate young players coming through the ranks. You should know that by now.

He's also a lying bastard. Mrs SKD says that Davies has telephoned him.
