we have been a bit slack of late, here's a snap I took recently

Inclined to agree to some extent with Benjaminty. It is enjoyable and worth seeing, but really nothing particularly special and strangely forgettable. It was a good Joker performance though, despite many of the plaudits coming due to his subsequent death, but it did feel a bit like a composite of impressions, more than a note of Nicholson, some parts Pacino, a grain of Gary Oldman [nah, that one doesn't quite work]

what's this obsession with the Mag, that'll be like the seventh time there. Besides, as far as I can see all that's changed is the colour (thank god!!!) the name (meh) and the addition of the flock 'please no more flock' wallpaper.

Ooh, did anyone see Bring Back Star Wars last night? I quite enjoyed it. I almost cried when the chap who played Lando was talking about how the saarlac pit was like a ladies woo woo and Justin said to him "are you talking about Return of the Jedi or return of the Japs Eye, are we discussing the same film?" Lando carries on for a bit and then did a double take "what the hell is Return of the Japs Eye?" Classic!!

A couple of gooduns on the plane. Quite enjoyed Forbidden Kingdom for light hearted, monkey meets karate kid, kung-fu fare. Guilty pleasure was the rubbish but made me laugh You don't mess with the Zohan. Genuinely good with some laugh out loud moments was Son of Rambow, and only got through 20 minutes before I had to stop watching, hungover on a long haul with a dose of the fear was not the right time, but I will watch it, oh yes I will...was The Orphanage .. eeek!

I've missed the Mash

I thought it was a spoof to begin with. mind you, unusually for your average internet cranks, it's actually rather well designed. Many a corporate/gov't website could learn a thing or two from that (purely layout and navigation wise of course).

"Not sure I'd feel happy on a plane with a steep landing angle. It's bad enough as it is." You obviously haven't had the joy of landing at city approaching from the west then. As you pass over Canary wharf you start a manoeuvre that wouldn't have been unfamiliar to stuka pilots. It's quite fun after your first time.

Ooh great news, congrats to all, may have to pop in tonight to perk up a freezing cold evening, especially as the Miami baggage handlers (yeah I'm talking to you Tony Montana!) stole all our Guatemalan rum (6)

A quick test shows that an asterisk seems to do the trick for multiple letters. ie "def*ly" returns posts with both "definitely" and "definately". I tried ? for specific single letter ie "defin?tely" but that didn't work.

sounds (well looks, watching it on bbc text here) like a bruising encounter, but well done the boy Walcott!!

Darn, sounds like an excellent night, glad you all had a good time without me :( Ho hum, back to the pool, another Mojito please....

I'll admit to being a pretty happy bunny right now. All went well, lots of fun, everyone seemed to have a good time, and lots of the older generation assured me that its the first 30 years are the worst!!

From Keef "Sure I read about [the Large Hadron Collider] in Dan Brown's Angels and Demons. Did you also know that Jesus and Mary Mag were gettin it on!"

"Not all "British people of Caribbean origin" Very good point, my own mum's Kittian and white (Scottish/German half breed). What with my dad being Spanish, what blimmin' Race am I? We won't even get started on LozzyLoz, I haven't got enough time to describe him before I shoot off to Ireland to get married (Oh my God, my poor kids, really confused)

I challenge any limbo dancing champion of your declared group to try Morris dancing versus fat beardie blokes in Suffolk. No contest.

That was rather my point, they all wanted to finish their careers there, but were kicked out the moment it didn't suit the club, loyalty and fealty work both ways, and without reasonable expectation that it will hold, the glue is gone. We can't have our cake and eat it, it's a ruthless market now. I badly miss the days where playing at a club meant something, but those days are gone, and players are pretty ugly souls these days, Ronaldo and slavery being a real nadir, recently at our club Anton Ferdinand rejecting 40K a week, fine fuck off to Sunderland you ungrateful, thick cunt! Potts was our last true club player I guess, and I always loved and admired Le Tissier (admittedly a sliigggghtlty better player) but I doubt we'll see their like at our clubs again.

pshaw, curiosity just took the better of me (the was actually 5557, but doesn't sounds as good), that puts me in a paltry third with Jah Lush fast catching!

shhhhh, don't state the obvious.

Clearly none, I'll bid you for ?5. Ooh, 5555 posts!!

It's been a long, long time, Le chat et sur la fen?tre, meilleur?

Is that tomorrow? Yeah, I'm quite looking forward to that too. I'm pretty sure he'll be a direct descendant of Hugh Laurie's prince regent in Blackadder III

Never happened with Giggs or Scholes...or Ronaldo. That had much more to do with good management and wage structure. In case you hadn't noticed most clubs are hideously mismanaged and full of venal personalities, from players through (especially) agents, to managers and the boards. I noticed the same sort of loyalty and fealty didn't apply to the rest of that generation, Butt, P Neville, Beckham et al. Business is business and football is just business these days. I don't mind you having your wind-up but don't try and claim Man U has any moral high ground on these matters.

"Do you think(as a Group) that Black people are better Dancers than White people?" Sorry, remind me. were we making huge generalisations regards supposed 'groups' (thus far defined as blacks and whites). Or are we saying that those supposed groups can produce representatives among the top 3 performers at [enter activity here] more often the other group? Just for clarification you understand. I personally think that Spaniards are infinitely better dancers than the English, until such time as you put any house music on, at which point they seemingly lose all sense of rhythm entirely. Don't know where that all fits in though.

Yet another Boris aide resigns, this time over Foot-in-mouth shocker. I can't help feeling that he was lured/tempted into that one.
