Some nice forecasting of results there (althuogh I hope your last prediction of Man U winning the CL is wrong


Some troubling and disturbing scenes in the European football this week - hopefully it's a blip and won't be repeated anytime soon.



Predictions for tomorrow:-

Arsenal v West Ham : 2-1 to the Arse

Chelsea v Spurs : 3-1 to the classless Chelsea

Portsmouth v Man U : 1-1 draw

Reading v Liverpool : 0-2 to the 'Pool

Time
Mike was going to be married to Karen, so his father sat him down for a little father-son fireside chat...

He says, "Mike, let me tell you something. On my wedding night in our honeymoon suite, I took off my pants and handed them to your mother, and said, "Here - try these on."
She did and said, "These are too big, I can't wear them."
I replied, 'Exactly. I wear the pants in this family and I always will.' Ever since that night we have never had any problems."

"Hmmm," says Mike, thinking that might be a good thing to try.
On his wedding night, Mike takes off his pants and says to Karen, "Here try these on."
She does and says, "These are too big, they don't fit me."
Mike replies "Exactly. I wear the pants in this family and I always will, and don't you forget it. Alright?"

Then Karen takes off her pants and hands them to Mike and says, "Here you try on mine."
He slips them over his feet but struggles to pull them up much further. Mike says, "It's no good, love. I can't get into your pants."

"Exactly" says Karen. "And if you don't stop being a f*cking dickhead, you never will."

A man walks into a pub and goes up to the bar.
"Pint please" says the man.
"F*ck me" says the barman "you've got half your head the shape of an orange!"
"Yes thats right" says the man "i've got a story to tell about that..."
"I was walking home the other day from work and i spotted a lamp on the pavement. I rubbed it and out popped this wonderous genie , who granted me 3 wishes" said the man
"No sh!t" said the barman
"T'is true" said the man
"So what did you wish for?" said the barman
"Well" said the man "My first wish was for all my family and closest friends to live a long and healthy life"
"Fair Enough" said the barman
"My second wish was to have an endless supply of money , so i'd never be poor and could buy whatever i liked whenever i liked" said the man
"Understandable and a very good wish" said the barman "And what was you third wish?"

"To have half my head the shape of an orange" replied the man

The last couple of episodes have really got me interested in Lost again - as the previous eps seemed to do little to hold the viewers attention.

I hope that it just isn't the fact of the Other's home has been found, and that there is now a new dynamic to the story, that will keep me interested - though I suppose the next few episodes will tell... damn those Lost writers - they've got me watching it intently again just because of 2 good eps this season...

*Cue the classic BSG music*

Awww, Man, the memories!

That's it, I'm buying those damn DVDs!!!!!!!!!!!

OO, you still playing chess? I've gotten away from it for a while now.




I'm still playing - just. Tend to go through a few weeks of playing a lot of matches, and then lose interest in it if you fancy a game sometime let me know

There is something compelling about those opening lines from the old BSG...

A shame it seems that the Caprica project has stalled - maybe if it is the last season of BSG it may get picked up again as a continuing spin-off? Hopefully, anyway.

I'm off to look at the tv guide to see if there is anything worth watching on tv until 2008

^ ah, the infamous 'Ship Of Lights' and Count Iblis - I remember it being a cool epsiode back in the day - and definatley some similariites and homages going on there from RDM

IIRC Count Iblis was played by Patrick MacNee - who also voiced the start credits on the the old series - "There are those who believe... that life here... began out there. Far across the universe. With tribes of humans... who may have been the forefathers of the Egyptians... or the Toltecs... or the Mayans... that they may have been the architects of the Great Pyramids... or the lost civilizations of Lemuria... or Atlantis... Some believe that there may yet be brothers of man... who even now fight to survive... somewhere beyond the heavens." - as a kid I thought HE was the Imperious Leader the cylons were always on about...

I think JediSage has hit the nail on the head - the episode was sort of reminiscent of the original BSG ep when Starbuck and Apollo left an old unsused observation deck to try and find Earth - just before hearing a radio transmission of the Apollo moonlandings come through (so they weren't faked after all ) For some reason the four people in the nBSG can hear a transmission of some kind...

They may think they are cylons at the moment - but doubt they'll be come the first few eps of the new season (far too many questions are thrown up like why Tyrol and Cally have a child (another cylon hybrid kid like Hera), Tigh fighting in wars all those years (cylons DO age), etc


Has no-one invented that time machine yet which will send us into the futre t owatch new eps of BSG ? (and pick up the lottery numbers )

^ I really hope that RDM will get the chance to wrap up the series properly - if it is indeed the end. I'll have to track down the interview - but RDM said he thought the Caprica series was 'no longer moving forward' in relation to it going ahead, and IIRC spoke about it in the past tense (a shame).


What did you think of the final episode? It certainly opens the stroy up for more possibilities...

Was a fascinating and superb match to watch - the first 20 minutes were great, and I couldn't see Barca getting back into it when they went down to 10 men - but fair play to them, they pulled it back.

3-3 with Messi completing his hat-trick in injury time - not bad for a 19 year old. lol



The commentators reckoned E'too was not best pleased about being subbed and at half time - it seems for club stability alone that he may leave at the end of the season... as a Liverpool fan I wouldn't mind seeing him playing for us

Should Lille be thrown out of the Champions League?

Throw Lille out of the Champions League for their players 'leaving' the pitch? No chance.

A fine and a warning from UEFA is the norm for these sorts of things.


The crowd problem is a an obviously more serious and complex problem - I imagine there'll have to be a full investigation (cover-up / switching of blame) before anything is done about that...

UEFA don't look after the fans' best interests - they are there to get rich and have a good old free time at the expense of the paying fans. If UEFA get things wrong they shift the blame - often onto the fans.


Don't think Man Utd did anything wrong in the game (officials' fault for not letting Lille's goal stand) - though I do hope Lille beat them in the return leg

I'm very much looking forward to seeing this - especially after thoroughly enjoying Spaced and Shaun Of The Dead

It'll be interesting to see if they do another few movies along the lines of Shaun and Hot Fuzz (taking off Zombie and Police films) - it'd be superb if they decided next do a film on sci-fi - or even Star Wars...
