Uncle Psychosis

Totally disagree. Clarkson has made a career out of being offensive and then claiming he's "only joking". It is total bollocks. Stewart Lee has it absolutely spot on: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w0i0RXMvzMs

You should never apologise for telling the truth MJ

I've never been a best man but at all the weddings I've been to the best speeches have been the ones where they were actually relevant to the couple. Maybe sounds obvious, but I would say its better to say something heartfelt/genuine about your mate thats not necessarily funny than trying to shoehorn in as many generic wedding jokes as possible. My best man got some good laughs at my expense by making use of all the stories I'd made him promise not to tell: "Sam made me promise not to tell you all the story about the time we put him in a shopping trolley or the time we accidentally participated in a robbery in Spain, so you'll have to make do with these tales instead..." Everyone that knew the stories had a good chuckle and those that didn't know them laughed at the fact they sounded funny but there was no risk of offending grannies/parents/the groom by revealing *too* much detail...

I *think* they changed some of the netball rules. The top level British league is now shown on sky sports---I think they changed from a club based system to a regional/franchise system in order to increase competition and improve the "product" for supporters. Sadly I don't think football administrators will ever realise that they might need to occasionally use some forward thinking

You say that, but Chelsea only picked up 1 more point on their travels than Man Utd did (26 as opposed to 25) and Man City picked up 28 away points. Arsenal were the best "away" team of the top 4 and they got 31 points away from home. Man U only lost 4 times away from Old Trafford---better than everyone except Arsenal. http://www.premierleague.com/page/LeagueTables http://stats.football365.com/dom/ENG/PR/away.html

When I was a student I played sports and as a result travelled over the uk a fair bit which inevitably involved a night out afterwards. I found Manchester, Sheffield, Nottingham, and Leeds are far more scary than Glasgow. Glasgow can be mental but like you say I don't think its really any worse than any other major British city (Even Edinburgh has its fair share of bampots---not that they'd admit it!)

Knowing Hearts it will be something along the lines of "Hearts don't have a problem, they only behaved like that because they were wound up by Celtic" and/or "they're not really hearts players, it was Rangers players pretending they were Hearts players..."

Stolen from Twitter: "I'd forgotten about these two Scotland games tacked onto the end of this season. Its a bit like finding bonus tracks on a Celine Dion album" :lol:

What, the SNP??? Trump, Souter, News International... :thinking: None of the mainstream political parties are worth getting excited over. They're all willing to sell out to the highest bidder

I've found myself listening to this a lot in the last few weeks...

What---exactly---has Neil Lennon done to become public enemy number 1? He's a mouthy gobshite but so is Jose Mourinho and as far as I know Mourinho has never been sent bombs, bullets, or been attacked on the pitch. Craig Levein probably said far worse about referees after *that* game but he seems to have avoided Scottish football fans wetting themselves with anger every time he opens his mouth. Walter Smith has been disrespectful on a number of occasions (remember *that* Chick Young interview? Hilarious, but hardly professional) but he seems able to live without a police escort. Neil Lennon is massively disliked, and I'm not saying that he's disliked for any other reason than being a mouthy git. But to suggest that anything he's done even remotely warrants the level of venom flung at him is just nonsense. He's a pantomime villain and not really any worse than a Souness or a Wenger or, dare I say it, a Chico. If Scottish football fans are going to behave like animals every time an opposition player or manager winds them up a bit then we should all just chuck it. And are you honestly saying that it was folly for an adult to wear their team's top in public? Is Scotland so backwards that we can't cope with that?

Some of you may be familiar with WSC magazine. They also have an email newsletter called "weekly howl" and one regular feature is "noticable shirts of yesteryear". This week the Jags are up: The shirt is this one: http://www.uploadlibrary.com/wsc/shirts/partickshirt.jpg

Before they got into Admin they were doing hilariously badly under Chisolm. Ironically, admin let them cut the deadwood and the punishment galvanised the team. Cheating barstewards.

Aye, the right way to deal with someone whose opinion you don't like is to send them a letterbomb. :blink: I don't think I've ever been so down on Scottish fitba'. Between letterbombs (FFS!!!!), UEFA investigations, lawyers, OF riots, playing the same team 7 times, 10 team leagues, craig levein and his 4-6-0, shite games, extortionate prices, Dundee and their cheating, Thistle going round and round in circles and all the rest of it I just really can't be ****** anymore. Whats the point? Promotion to the SPL just means dealing with the OF and their shite on a regular basis and a struggle to stay up. Staying in the SFL means death by apathy.

You must be about the same age as me...Spent quite a few Fridays and Saturdays in that place! No idea why the underagers were tolerated... :lol:

Sometimes what seems like a triviality can be deadly important. For instance, capitalisation is very important when helping your Uncle Jack off a horse.

I've just double checked and no moneys came out of my account. I can only assume the club doesn't need my money I could contact them to find out whats going on but frankly I can't be arsed. If they don't want to process my form then I'll just have more beer money every month...

Howdy folks Sent off my CF forms last month but no money seems to have come out of my account. Any idea what day in the month it should (dis)appear?

I finally got round to joining (note to club: I would have joined months ago if you could sign up online)...looking forward to a regular stream of prizes heading my way

I would also fancy a Mogwai ticket (or two) so once Lambie's Doo is sorted out feel free to get in touch

Lennon is a paranoid muppet. But when you see how many ludicrous decisions that go Rangers way on a weekly basis you can understand where the paranoia comes from. If their main rivals stopped getting regular helping hands from referees then Celtic might actually be forced to wind their necks in a bit. Until then, a plague on both their houses.

When Zavvi went bust they didn't honour all their vouchers. And I seem to remember that those they did honour were only accepted at something like 50% of face value. Use 'em quick!

Except we would have the money. If we got rid of trident, stopped fighting illegal wars in the middle east (yes I know the evil baby eating loony lefty red terror labour party started those wars) and made the super rich actually pay their tax then we wouldn't need to do things like cutting housing benefit for the poorest members of society. I think what I disagree with most about politics with you jaggybunnet is your constant implications that if the Tories had been in power for the last fifteen years we wouldn't be in this mess. They wouldn't have reigned in the banks any more than Labour did. The Labour government have a lot to answer for but they weren't in power in Greece, or Iceland, or the USA, or Spain, or Portugal, or any of the other countries whose economies have had it hard. The current crisis would have hit one way or another regardless of which politician happened to be in Downing St at the time. To be honest, I think that anyone who tries to claim that one mainstream party is better than an other is deluding themselves. They've all repeatedly proven themselves incompetent. I said it before and I'll say it again---arguing over whether the Tories are better than the Lib Dems or the Labour party is a bit like arguing over whether you'd rather burn, freeze, or starve to death. They're ALL a bunch of charlatans who will do whats in the best interest of their mates, their lobbyists, and their rich donors rather than whats best for Joe Bloggs in Glasgow or Birmingham or Swansea. Thats whats so depressing about modern politics. Merry Christmas by the way

Advert are all targeted these days. They get your approximate location from your ip address and its a Scottish football forum...so we get Celtic ads. Annoying, but it pays for the forum like jaggybunnet says.

I hope he swings for it...
