What do you want it to be? One brick? Carl Andre is American BTW...

With Liverpool out of the competition, I hoped for a good price for Barcelona to win the Champions League. They were favourites (even in England, when all the other teams were Premier League). In the end, I put a speculative bet on Chelsea because of their greater odds' return. Chelsea tonight were unlucky, in that a few legitimate penalty shouts went against them. However, Chelsea (at home). against 10 men, never really strove to get a second goal. They deserve to be out of the competition for their torpor. The signs are that, with Villa and Everton improving season by season, Chelsea's future 3rd/4th qualifying place for Champions League football will be even more at risk.... I think Arsenal should be looking over their shoulders too, after that quite spineless display yesterday. Man City will have the dosh too, hopefully they won't turn into Chelsea II, for their success and for their general cuntishness...

When I saw the title 'Minimalists', I immediately thought of this....

I think you're mistaken. The scum won, didn't they? No, No, No!!! There is only one scum, super scum infact. Lets put it this way, If Ars..Arsen... ( no i cant bring myself to say it ) were up against the Gary Glitter Paedo Allstars, Id be cheering old Gary on. Its that bad I was for a while in a bit of a quandary over who to back in the final up untill the 93rd minute. It would have been like preferring Charles Manson over Harold Shipman. Thankfully Andrés Iniesta made the decision for me... A victory for Football

She was indeed. Beautiful woman. Died 1980...

Real, real shame about DeLuise. I have many, many happy memories of his roles in the Cannonball Run, Fievel Goes West & his Mel Brooks films as both a kid, and a young adult. Although I had heard he was getting better, positive news on him had been very short on the ground. As for Phair, I remember that story.. from what.. 3 or 4 years ago?

I think you're mistaken. The scum won, didn't they?

Bobby Sands, Irish Republican and MP for Fermanagh & South Tyrone, died on this day in 1981 after 66 days on hunger strike...

BBC parliament channel is running the whole 1979 election, as if it wasn't painful the first time round. Fascinating stuff though, the country was split down the middle right at the off. Peregrine Worsthorne's comments about the country being divided during Thatcher's premiership was prophetic...

Are we talking about Jacob Zuma again?

I always thought he was a bit of a tit and there's probably a fair few teachers who are not unhappy about this...

A close for Carlisle then... Good Luck to OoO's favourites Reading in this afternoon's Championship climax...

Picked this year by The End of the World As We Know It. I think you're right. I picked him on my DDP. 1st hit of the year was a long time coming Mr World As We Know It. Here's to more hits...

Im guessing that there is no alternative to watching the Beebs News bulletin? It is a bit wank, isnt it. Im sure you are not referring to the gorgeous and delicious Susanna Reid, she of the BBC Saturday morning breakfast news. MMMM!!! And if it's Celina Hinchcliffe you're talking about, it'll be "outside now!"

Typical that the bloke gets off relatively lightly compared to the woman...

I just hope that anyone local who has the virus just stys away from me...

Related to the Carry Ons (well, sort of) were the 'Confessions of' series, starring Robin Askwith. The producer of those films, Greg Smith, has died aged 69...

Yeah, very funny. Why don't you take the piss out of all the threads on this forum while you're here.. Anyway, Brazillian Formula 1 Champion Ayton Senna died on this day in 1994 at Imola...

If that's the case, here's wishing my ex has the same fate then.... Amanda Holden? If only.... Mind you, she's a bit Botoxed to the eyeballs now...

Poet U A Fanthorpe has died..

If that's the case, here's wishing my ex has the same fate then....

One of the most notorious people in human history commited suicide today in 1945...

US Congressman Ron Paul (a former Presidential candidate) has raised concerns about the overkill on this situation. He was formerly a physician and refers back to 1976 outbreak..one person died, althoug 20+ died of the immunisation. Nobody yet in the USA has been isolated in hospital, but the US Homeland Security have now got involved (with unbeleievalbe power in thier hands). Given that Obama has agreed to release thousands of US troops for internal "duties" and there are a known 250,000 "family-sized" coffins stacked in the backwoods of the USA, what can you make of this? Preparedness???? If anyone's interested, I can provide links.... I'd like a link to the coffin reference. Good to see some healthy scepticism here. I think its just that the media has grown bored with the recession. They're desperate for it to be a pandemic. The TV people, in particular, love novelty. They couldn't wait to get in to their flack jackets in Iraq. Now everyone wants to wear a germ mask. Agreed.... I hope Swine Flu affects media people only. Then we'd get some peace...
