I'm getting a wankstaff.

Speaking of freeview, I heard Chiles trumpeting that ITV and The BBC had secured the rights to all the matches for 2018 and 2022, I though it was a 'protected' event here in the UK? It'll be a dark day if the time comes that Murdoch (who'll probably be clinging on still, Mr Burns-like) gets his mitts on The World Cup on top of almost everything else.

He did and he had a brain haemorrhage (two in fact) as an immediate result. It also, like I thought, left him with Epilepsy... There's an old interview here with more detail and a fairly poignant title. http://www.theguardian.com/film/2000/dec/17/features.magazine

I read somewhere that his wife said it may have been a heart attack or a seizure - I read that as he may have had them (seizures) previously. It's quite common for folk who've suffered brain injuries.

Can't make a chilli without red wine vinegar, or you won't after you've used it once... Dark Chocolate too. And Black Eye Beans as well as Kidney Beans - they do three tins for a quid at Asda.

If you've got sod all ingredients in store then it'll be a dear do to make owt, you need to spend about £20 to £30 on the basics, and if it's stuff that keeps - then buy a big 'un and you'll be set for a while then. Basics stuff will do: salt, spices, oil, cans of stuff, tomato puree, vinegars, plain flour, dried herbs...

And I briefly had a beard, but that was because my clippers had broke - anyway Crawley says it ain't cool anymore, so gone either way.

Why? Apart from them being shite? The day you stop changing the fit of your jeans to reflect the times is the first day of middle age. I've been rocking the adidas nizza lo, skinny jeans and suit jacket and shirt look of late, drawing f*cking loads of admiring glances from the girls (actually probably thinking "what a twat")

Torture him enough and he'll confess, they always do.

Rich Dart - Ginger Swine - Hang Him. Henry Winter's Brother - Inconclusive - Hang Him Anyway...

Jordan Horner - Ginger Swine - Hang Him. 'Dave' - Ginger Swine - Hang Him.

It's that cunt from 'Citizen Khan' - I thought he was a raging pisspot in real life? Why are they always ginger these converts, are they that desperate for acceptance after being shunned their whole lives?

He said what? Fucking decrepit bent Swiss cunt - stick to talking about what you know, Sepp - hoarding Nazi gold and making cuckoo clocks.

I nearly ran one over t'other day - swerved at the last minute, there was a nasty pothole in the road (near the railway arches, Tonge Moor btw).

Post-match patio chairs through the plate glass windows - win, lose or draw, surely? Greek bastards.

If there's a celeb's name and it's posted by SuperJohnMcGinlay you need not open it - you're like the angel of death, or the herald of death. I'm not one for r.i.p.s but he was part of something that really did smash open my horizons as a nipper... Hopefully his grave will become a shrine, and punks and skins and Rastas will all gather round and all hold their hands in sorrow for their fallen leader... R.I.P.

I gave some of the original LA Trainer (well, early 00s re-issues) to aforementioned nephew and he ruined them an' all, could've killed the ingrate... I'm thinking of switching my allegiance to New Balance, or buying vintage only adidas.

It was a riposte to Garrp, Crawley - after he recently poo-poohed one of our trainer threads, I always thought you might have favoured a more effete and foppish style even when living up here in the rain and fog, so fair play to you for that... It's Garrp that has turned his back on practical northern fashion and embraced faddy southern twattishness.

Arena da Amazônia, Manaus, Brasil. Yes, that's right... I'm going to be taking a cocktail of LSD and Ketamine in my boxroom (my only telly is in there).

It was fucking obvious that those cunts were going to fuck some cunt.

Macrongs and Whites

They've jumped the shark for me, their recent releases (trainers) - they feel like they should have stickers on them reading: 'FOR NOVELTY PURPOSES ONLY - DO NOT PERFORM ACTIVTIES OTHER THAN WALKING AROUND SHOPPING MALLS IN THIS FOOTWEAR' Part of the northern penchant for appropriating sportswear/hiking gear/yachtie wear/golf gear etc. was because of their look combined with their durability, practicality and suitability to withstand rainy and muddy northern climes. This is why the southern poof turns their nose up at our garb, whilst flouncing around in winklepickers and straw boaters. You can get adidas in all styles and colours for forty quid on the high street these days, but you can keep them, shite imo. My recent issue Nizza have fell apart before my very eyes, whilst the ones from ten years ago are still going strong - both pairs. My nephew has some Gazelle, I've seen sturdier flip-flops, they looked like crap after he'd had them a week. It saddens me to say I won't be buying any straight from the production line anymore...

Somebody I was talking to reckoned that Dermot whateverhisname said: ''MOST of those out on the pitch have given their time freely...'' Did anyone catch that as well? The person who told me was mid an anti-charity tirade so I'm not 100 percent sure whether to believe them or not, that said, I'm still going to finger (urgh) Jaap Stam - former Munich grasping mercenary.

Wear a trilby and place a dog-egg in the 'valley' of the trilby, if all the dogs in your area happen to be egg-bound why not try substituting the dog-egg with a Plumrose Hotdog sausage?

Brighter kids, especially lads, from what are traditionally termed 'working class' backgrounds will, I argue, always do less well when schooled alongside their less academically gifted peers. The pressure to 'hide their light under a bushel' and thus not be seen as a swot or stiff or whatever they call kids who want to learn these days, I imagine is immense. I'd venture that in the past grammar schools possibly freed pupils from this unneeded pressure, they felt at liberty to thrive; answering questions, asking questions, being keen, doing homework etc. and not being stifled by a need to remain to be seen as 'cool' or 'one of the lads' by their peers. I'm only surmising this from my own experience of secondary modern, after grammar schools abolition, perhaps some of the older posters who passed the 11+ and attended a Grammar school may support this theory or dispel it...
