I've got mine so don't need to, guess which one is me (I don't think my profile pic will help!) Are you third from the left in the front row? Nope that was Angie Allan, my memory of her always includes Alsations, she had one, it followed her to school all the time, nice lassie but I think she found drugs like a few people in the picture sadly . I'll stick with the first row, how's about fourth from the right?

Find your old school photograpghs!

Did He make you do all the running? I hope you felt suitably awe inspired to spend a whole evening in His holy presence.

Alive and well but still unseen

No - I'm not. Just far too busy to learn, and far too tight to pay. Too busy in fact to rack up 3000+ posts in under two years ;-) I'd go with the "tight" part of the above phrase rather than "busy". More of a Room 101 thing (and I don't mean to make an example of you Windsor - I am sorry) but people who say they are too busy when really 99% of them just lack time management skills. I know too many people who use this excuse and it makes me even more infuriated if they then go on to explain they've been fritting around achieving nothing or doing tasks which clearly have the importance, neigh the necessity of a central heating system in DR Congo.

One awaits, I hasten to add not me, the arrival of Ms Crowe's skid marked knickers on ebay then...Euw!

I've joined the Rakhmaninov club. I was instinctively about to put travelling as my "not composing option" until I read down the list and saw Performing complex chemistry experiments which, unfortunately, is all to apt.

How fitting. A German/Greek Dynasty lording over us all, supporting a team full of foreigners.............. ..." Hes got no hair but we dont care, Martin, Martin Jol.." foreigners? how disgusting. what is she thinking? Que Tumbleweed: I always thought the Queen mother looked like an Arse.

Ah.. but MIB, you've shot yourself in the foot here... There is one league team, who after being promoted from the non-league, has also not been in the third tier, having stayed down at the 4th So the list is: TOP TWO TIERS ONLY: Arsenal, Chelsea, Everton, Leeds United (not for long), Leicester City, Liverpool, Manchester United, Newcastle United, Tottenham Hotspur, West Ham United. FOURTH TIER ONLY: Boston United I await my prize in the post. PS Thanks to Rothmans Football Yearbook I came up with exactly the same list from football365 by scrolling down the division distribution historical stats but out of those only Everton was in the original league. Hence my queries above that no time frame was provided. Were any of the ten teams in other divisions before they expanded into 2/3 tiers - i.e. midlands/north/south divisions. Sorry for the pedantics, as a researcher it's a force of habit to scrutinise every detail to the nth degree. Which never fails to carry on into life outside of the lab, anyone agree with me here?

Yes - what a result, but trouble is we're now heading for Europe when we didn't want it... sh*t! Ah well, i think we should just enjoy the ride. Only just got in so only taken a quick glance but looks like Leeds are doomed & Colchester & Jamie Cureton have done it again! MPFC may be weeping in his cornflakes as Carlisle's recent rapid play-off chase was dented big-time by Bristol City... Hmmm..'tis the poisoned chalice the UEFA placings... Looks like the Foxes should avoid third-tier ignominy, so well done to them! Only ten teams in the League have not been in the third tier, and they are...? I'd like to suggest Everton and Aston Villa but I'd also like to get clarification on how far back we are going - weren't there southern and northern divisions at the turn of last century - though these may be equal to the third division a.k.a League one these days, I'm not sure. I think we should petition the FA to reinstate Div 1 through 4. It's more like a non-competitive sports day these days with league ONE actually being the third divsion...does this happen anywhere else in the world...? After coming up with a few more potentials I decided to hit google - it really does depend on your source of information. What I did find is that in the begining (Genesis 1888 - 1889) the football league was found and it was good. In the first season there were 12 clubs and they were good. Preston NE, Villa, Wolves, Everton, Blackburn, Bolton, WBA, Accrington (who are they?), Burnley, Derby, Notts County, Stoke. I'm not sure on what day Accrington rested but I guess it's a case of eliminating a few from the list (though I suspect that will only leave me with Everton - I've subsequently been told that Villa have had a few seasons in Hades). Hence I am guessing there is a cut of point and we're not supposed to start from the founding of the league after all... I'm still sticking with Everton though.

Looks like it is going to be Scorchio! again this weekend. Cheers Paddy.

You NEED 50 Euros!!!!!! That's - like - thirty quid. It's Saturday tomorrow, get a comb, some paper, a dog on a bit of string and - sort of - hum your way through a medley of popular tunes in a busy street. I mean, how hard can it be to get 50 Euros? He might be from somewhere like Serbia, 50 Euros is about a weeks wages there. Believe me, after tax it feels like a month's salary in Belgium. Where can I get aforementioned comb, string and Dog? I think England cornered the market maybe I'll have to import. After all the best cider comes from our Merry Island (served in an obligatory 3L plastic bottle - 50% extra free as always!) I think I can remember how Here comes The Sun goes again. Little Darling....

I am not a linguistic expert, nor am I one of that strange sallow clan who refer to themselves as "Whovians", but I do know that TARDIS is an acronym, and therefore should be pluralized as "Tardises". For the collective noun, may I suggest a "nonsense of Tardises"? Or perhaps a "bonfire of Tardises" would be a more pleasing image? Thank-you! I'd definitely go with the bonfires. Thankfully I have never watched a full episode of Dr Who to know that it was an acronym. Neither have I watched Star Wars. Nor Star Trek. As a scientist I am a rare breed. One that takes no interest in Sci-Fi whatsoever is hard to find yet here I am.

Apparently there are several people (predominately Welsh?) who may have the same unfortunate luck regards neighbours as yourself. Call that a Tardis - they can't even fit a bed in it! A Welsh obssession? There's a website dedicated to Readers Sheds!!! Whatever next, a site that likes to second guess when people die? You too can find many images of Tardi* in gardens simply by searching Taris and Garden in google. The internet hey, who says you can live without it. *If a linguistic expert would like to confirm that this is indeed the plural of Tardis I would be most grateful. Also what would be the collective noun?

Oy, TMIB, no posting 21 year old highlights on the DL! This is probably my favourite sports highlight of the year thus far, painful as it may be to any England fan. Here's a somewhat sharper picture version, along with a blow-by-blow comparison to the earlier efforts of a strong 2008 candidate. Stop me if you think that you've seen this one before If history does indeed repeat itself then Messi will get my vote for Deathlist 2030, assuming my maths is correct. maradona-vs-messi Sorry that it has no commentry in Swahili, Cantonese or indeed Catalan. I feel I am letting the cultural side of this thread down with an Eminem pastiche.

I'm not sure the person in question is a mod. I could however be wrong. As for your name, I like it. Vulgar or otherwise, it is based on sound British humour. Frankie Howerd would be proud. Now where was I? Oh yes the prologue...

Were you perchance on this episode?

No he won't. he will die most unexpectedly. Seeing as most of the world has been expecting it since July last year, if he were to step of this mortal coil then it wouldn't be unexpected. Crossbone or not. The main reason I favour Castro to become one of Cuba's famous centegenarians is to nark off the worst predictor since old mystic meg, the Latin quoting gimp, the squid fetishists on this thread and of course George Bush and other anti-cuban US citizens. Although I must clarify that there's nowt wrong with having a squid fetish.

Shock! Three pictures of Pete looking.... a bit dirty. One of his nose looking a bit red & sore, one showing his dirty fingers and one showing a sore on his arm that looks a bit like a fag burn but probably isn't... Quality reactions from the overly-sensitive posters on that site though. EWWWW! What would happen if someone were to post a picture of some petrol head who'd been tinkering under his car and banged his head as he got up? Do you think they'd all faint?

The word like... http://edition.cnn.com/2007/US/04/16/stude...sses/index.html ... used as a filler. I know they were all very traumatised but I have a sneaking suspicion that this is an insight into the language on campus for this university.

I'm going to be annoyed if she discovered this before the turn of the year, there's mega points value there. My God I am shocked, are Liberty X really still going?

I'm guessing the strange part was one dying after the other (unless they were in a car crash). However two things sprang to my attention: Firstly the poor chap was "reared" as in how you bring up animals - I am not implying any another possible connitation here. Secondly is that really the address of the funeral home, great kills?

Like Boris Yeltsin then?
