What curse is that? The number of times the remaining viewers are cursed to hear the ratty old BBC commentators mutter the world "Crucible" in a vain attempt to inject some artificial drama into an extremely faded tournament which has been rendered so by a clueless megalomaniac old fart who has so physically and mentally knackered his own already monosyllabic players by making them travel to every corner of Eastern Europe and backwater China to play in meaningless tournaments, that they have literally no inspiration left for what he describes as the "shop-window" of the sport? Or the curse of having the most dull set of qualifiers, and hence first-round line-up, probably ever in the televised history of the tournament.... and which again is probably Bazza's fault for screwing around with the qualifying rounds. How is he supposed to break either of those curses, he's just one man! (BTW could someone move this to the Silly Sports thread?)

Galalala, GALALALA.... heeeeeeeeeeeey.. GET AIDS.

Whatever Happened To The Kikely Lads? - Holocaust survivors

Me too. They wouldn't let him on the likes of NPR/PBS would they, especially the edukayshunal shows...

Just a reminder to all the posters here who love discussing the lords (or the elderly ones), if you elect Ed Miliband he will replace the Lords with an 'elected senate' so you won't be able to put them on your teams next year cos the press will probably say your average "ex-lord" isn't famous enough. I can understand why he'd want to do it though, since they have two elected chambers over there in the US and look how totally blissful things are there and nobody ever accuses their politicians of being old, out of touch or not deserving their place in congress!

That would be good, people wouldn't be allowed to bash me in public.

Those attacks are nothing. (Just like his "personality"). It's an indictment of the gutlessness of modern right-wing higher-ups that they don't have someone like me working on his character "assassination". Instead they have some guy who probably follows John Terry on Twitter.... Why don't you think of it this way. I was also raised by a demented, dead-eyed, sadistic old cunt who deals with middle age by wallowing in Stalinist fantasy and psychologically pummeling their offspring before they've got a chance to develop into anything other than a stuttering drone who repeats their parents' opinions. (or in my case, she tried to) And you leftie cunts wouldn't elect me would you?

If it wasn't for his Commie dad's pushy parenting he could have been, like... the British Jim Carrey or something by now, instead of(soon to be) British Jimmy Carter.

That surely must have been a direct result of someone saying "You don't hear Bradford fans goin on about the Valley Parade fire as much as you guys go on about 'illsborough do ya!". Someone took it as a challenge, clearly....

I just looked it up in Wisden and it says

http://www.theguardian.com/politics/2015/apr/13/lib-dems-tory-coalition12bn-welfare-cuts-nick-clegg Does this remind anyone of anything? "Lib Dems will not..........." etc......... (of course that'll probably end up being one of your lesser worries with people like him in charge, but just saying)

What? That happened in 2013. Use a Little sense.

In his younger days, Grass was in the Waffen SS, a fact which he managed to keep secret for quite a while. After that he had a hard job maintaining his status as honorary citizen of Gdansk. So someone grassed on him?

i agree completely Yes, but a bit too verbose for my taste. He's got a case of the Tempuses. Tempus Fuckit is always blanking his old posts with dots. Speaking of... wonder what he's up to.

What, down on all-fours on her carpet, screaming loudly? If 200 people gathered in the crematorioum did that as the coffin was whipped behind the curtain... The way she'd want it, surely? Surely you mean "she should be buried at home in the backyard..... without anesthetic"? That's the lamest misfired joke I've seen/heard since my one about Patrick Moore on eclipse day when I should have posted "his arse is blocking out the sun".

Not a good time to have the surname simon. Third well known simon to die in 8 weeks. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bob_Simon http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sam_Simon now lisa . I bet Paul Simon is shi##ing himself !! Nova from ECW is really glad they didnt call him Dean Simon. Or... not. Depending on how he's finding life at the moment, I dunno. Mourning everyone. State funeral planned in Australia. Would any sports figure get close to that in the UK? Can't think of one. Well so far all that's happened is Abbott's offered his family a state funeral, which "surely" they will turn down as he probably wouldn't have wanted one. I think he just wanted to prove once again that outside of being awesome for repealing the previous government's utterly horrendous climate five-year-plan legislation he clearly has the world outlook of a P.E. teacher. Still....... you expected us to be envious that we're not (yet) sappy enough to have state funerals for sports figures, no matter how good they obviously were?

As far as I know, he's met Nick Clegg, and then Farage a few days ago, and now this guy. So he probably just thinks it's about having bad breath.

Did anyone see HIGNFY? That nameless bird who plays Philomena Crunk on Charlie Brooker's Screenwipe was sat next to Ian Hislop. Just when she thought she couldn't possibly have a more degrading gig on a show that has more completely run its course!

With all this talk, I'm reminded once again how ironic it is that most of the shrug-happy people here who think the DDP would/will have a long life expectancy when we get to the stage where the Drop 40 consists of a bunch of 19-year-old, female basketball players and young doctors who could chirp for England are the same kind of people who would lecture us about capitalism being "unsustainable".

^LOL! wtf? Anyway, despite my previous tasteless joke about her I'm sure she's probably quite personable and nice. But it's true a lot of her photos do make her look like a black, female version of Abe Simpson who's just found out from HuffPo about her culture being stolen by white gay men.

Mourning everyone.

In return, I would ask why these WMD aren't at Portsmouth, Southampton or even just situated outside our Mother of Parliaments? You know Costa Rica? No army, no weapons and has land borders with Panama and Nicaragua. I see the WMD are doing a fine job of deterring terrorists, no wait...hang on....and not only that but they are a target for terrorism and sabotage. Without ever being used. Tell that to the folks of this country working at suppressed wages, unable to put food on the table or nappies on their wains and getting prescriptions from the doctor for household essentials...like toothpaste. I'd be against WMD no matter which party I supported. But hey, we'll never compromise our security, says Ed and Dave. One wanted to go into Syria, one did go into Iraq...oops, compromised! As long as Russia doesn't have theirs pointed at the South East, it's ok to have them? I'll sleep safe knowing I'm "protected" by things which could cause holocaust 35 miles from my front door. Rant over and no offence meant btw.... Except it's just another drop in the ocean of our huge budget.... If you really want to save that cash we could drop the bird-shredding... I mean "wind farm"........ subsidies? Those starving people are really not likely to have any better of a time under an incoming Labour government, Syriza is the most left-wing party elected in Europe in decades and....... erm, as far as I can tell, they're still starving their Greek arses off over there.
