Why would the fact you're a moron upset me?

As an aside though another Move song, Flowers in the Rain was the first song ever played on Radio One.

That could and should have been posted on me remarkably unpopular Music anecdotes thread....

Sean, if the thread had been called useless music trivia it almost certainly would have been. I have any number of such facts I could amaze you good people with.

Hit me.

Happily, the first Spice Girls Single not to go to Number 1 was Stop, it was kept off top spot by Run DMC vs Jason Nevins - It's Like That.

Don't they all. Farrell made 3 in 5 minutes against Scotland. Who do you want at 12? Barritt? God help us all.

In the absence of a kicking 12 someone like Tuilagi or preferably Burgess.

Assuming Burgess makes the transition. So you have Tuilagi at 12 and Burrell at 13? Again, God help us all. May as well not bother with wingers and just stick another couple of flankers out there.

You want to win the WC, you need to beat the SH teams. Statistics tell you you need to score 4 tries on average to do that. We won't do that with either Manu or Barritt at 12. You need a passer, preferably one with kicking game, something 36 can do.

I don't think he can.

Fair enough. I can't really argue with that logic.

I had a great time texting my arl man on Saturday night. He hates me more than he did already.

Scotland were hopeless, super. No point denying it.

Didn't see it, Tina as I was out buying a car. Chalk it up as yet another sport that we are crap at.

Think we are essentially left with tennis (until Murray retires) and dominos.

What kind?

by **superflyweight** Tue 11 Feb 2014 - 12:57

Mazda 3.

It's for Mrs Superfly as her car was 12 years old and she'd been told it would cause the best part of a grand to get it through its MOT. Luckily, Mazda introduced a brand new version of the 3 last month so we got pre-registered version of the older model with 5 miles on the clock for £4,000 less than the sticker price. "Easy Japaneasy" - a phrase I was warned off using by Mrs Superfly.

I had lasagne and some mixed veg, seany. A couple of new potatoes as well. A strawberry yoghurt for dessert and then 4 giant chocolate buttons as a little after-dessert, dessert. It was, on the whole, very satisfactory, especially the chocolate buttons.

Sorry this isn't up to the G-Units' standard of reviews but I couldn't sit by and watch you ruin another thread.

I had a sandwich yet again. Was pretty ordinary but rest of office went to KFC so was quite pleased with my self discipline.

by Mind the windows Tino. Tue 11 Feb 2014 - 14:52

You're really becoming rather dull these days, Jeff.

by **seanmichaels** Tue 11 Feb 2014 - 15:17

I was in a rush this morning so grabbed half a (small) loaf of wholemeal seeded bread and a squeezy bottle of brown sauce. Cost effective and relatively tasty although it was morrison's own not HP.

True Tina, but losing weight gives me an opportunity to mock top hat. You really can't put a price on that.

i think i may do brown sauce sandwiches 3 times a week. i could go crazy and get supermarket own brand salt and vinegar sticks, onion rings and cheese puffs as additional filling. lunch for the wee could then be bought for probably less than £3

Apologies, michaels, but my sore throat prevented me , not only from enjoying my wrap to the degree I'm used to, but from writing a review you'd find both interesting and useful.

Not sure there is any correlation between your throat and the level of interest generated by your review.

She has a manly face.

That coat is horrible as well.

by Mind the windows Tino. Tue 11 Feb 2014 - 16:01

And she has sausage fingers.

In all fairness though Sean does have a proclivity for less than pleasant coats.

And this is coming from a man who believes green on green is an acceptable combination. Think on Sean.

The shirt is a very dark green, almost black. It looks good.

I suspect you would like it as dark colours are slimming.

No point being slim if you're dressed like a w@nker.

Very few comments on here actually make me laugh out loud Sean, ever fewer from yourself but this one genuinely did so well done.

When you say 'groomed', do you mean a simple haircut and shave or are you talking back, sack and crack?

Or 'groomed' as in coerced into disturbing carnal practices by internet sexual predators?

Ditto (and well done on "proclivity").

The michaels/Tino embroilment has officially overtaken Fawlty Towers for me and now sits behind The Office and the Royle Family as the cornerstones of great British comedy.

Comedic on here today then...

Wonder if Juilus has found his marbles?

An inspirational story with which to begin the day:
I watched The Reader last week. As I do after every film I watch I then had a look at the goofs section on IMDB and was astonished to find a goof that wasn't really a goof. I wasted no time in filling out the online form to correct this and was beside myself with joy this morning when I saw that the offending goof had finally been removed. I may mention this on Facebook as it's sure to go viral.

That is inspirational, Galted. Congratulations.

I don't have a Facebook account though, so I won't be able to share in your virus.

Am fairly sure the young lad got his goofs out in that film. Of course, Winslett got her norks and fanny out so swings and roundabouts.

She wasn't exactly shy about her bush. If she were thinner I may have considered getting a semi.
