I'm guessing that plan won out over the one where Bassong played disguised as Jonathan Woodgate or something. I love how it's worded as if Spurs have decided it's alright and are just kind of hoping nobody else will mind.

lolz as game called off, meaning a second tricky wee trip to Tannadice for the Forces of Darkness, hopefully next time with a referee who doesn't think Kyle LaughAtMe's diving should go unpunished. I mean, it's not like he's got previous for conning referees or anything like that nasty wee Aiden McGeady...oh, hang on a sec...

Snorting coke off 'ho's' tits? Not that this is generally seen as an obstacle to fame and fortune, but as he presents a delightfully satirical TV programme that prides itself on pricking the sleaze bubbles of politicians, it might be seen to be, umm, rather hypocritical if they continue to employ Deayton. Personally I don't give a toss. I'm glad to see the smug get unable to retaliate to people like Christine Hamilton, but this will change as the novelty wears off.

We ended up giving Barca a player in exchange for Cesc (not officially but it shut them up to get van Bronckhorst) and £3m for Merida. All other youth contracts since have been pretty above board knowing that Barca tried putting us in the shit, and we have paid over the odds for Coquelin and Miquel to their third division sides so they can improve facilities etc. and build up good relations in case they have more good kids to nick.

Just wait until someone starts posting excerpts from cricket threads.

a gift from your mind in the form of the perfect beat (snoball), Saturday, 7 November 2009 17:25 (fifteen years ago) link

I'm not too confident at the moment.

And Jones is in as wicketkeeper to strengthen the batting. http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/cricket/england/6140748.stm
But perhaps this means they might play Monty?

Lets hope Tres finds his form quickly and him and Strauss get some good century partnerships so the pressure isn't on Cook/Pietersen/Bell.
If they indeed choose all three. They might choose Jones and Giles so the batting is stronger if they decide to go with an extra bowler incase Fred isn't up to bowling as much as he normally would.

I don't think Mahmood is up to it. We're gonna miss Simon Jones.
Lets hope Harmison and Hoggard find their form too when it matters.

bassline hasn't really taken over the charts like i thought it would here tbh...'heartbroken' and 'what's it gonna be?' were huge of course but 'gonna be mine' flopped, 'my destiny' and 'daddy-o' didn't do much either...hoping for big things from dj q & mc bonez' 'you wot?' though. t-dot is the bassline mc who really needs to become a star.

Thoughts on Adele - there is something really, really fucking good straining to get out here, there really is. BUT THOSE FUCKING VIOLINS! THAT FUCKING CHORUS! This is full-on no-stone-unturned production, desperate to smash your head in with... what is the comparison for those strings? I'm leaning towards 1968 Eurovision (and this ain't a million miles from "Un Banc, Un Arbre, Une Rue", the 1970 winner), but BBC Light Orchestra, Strictly Come Dancing, the bottom 50 percent of Embrace's singles, the singer from Foals shouting "HERE ARE SOME VIOLINS. HERE ARE SOME VIOLINS. HERE ARE SOME VIOLINS." - do you understand? It's so desperate to cover every single one of its fucking bases (those violins, they could be a bloody Michael Ball record) that Adele's talents (which shows signs of being very good, even if she does reach too deep when she sings "leeeed") get buried in the rubble. And it repeats the chorus, and thus the metaphor (resplendent with fucking orchestral sweep), far, far too many times. Makes me long for "Foundations".

One of those bands this kind of thread was built for would appear to be The Feeling, who also have a slot on the B-list with I Thought It Was Over, the first single off their second album. They're the kind of band who rumble along near the foreground, never quite enough to get people talking about them, but there nonetheless.

And this single will not change that one tiny bit. It's 'a bit electro', kind of - not enough to induce dance or anything, the rhythm is very politely buried away behind some morphed guitar riffs, but noticeably enough so that people can go "ooh, haven't you grown!" But have they? If they're coming out of their shell, they're doing it bloody slowly - Dan Gillespie-Sells seems like a good egg, but his voice is really thin, very unengaging. This is about him realising he's still in love with someone. I know this because that's what the title says. There's lyrics, lots of lyrics, and you can make them all out, too, but how are you meant to care? It never puts a foot wrong, but it never dares to try - there's no danger in this, no conflict, no turmoil, it's just another love song.

Let's use that as an excuse to post the video for Party Fears Two - an unfair comparison, since it sets the bar that fucking high, and Billy Mackenzie's voice is the kind of sound you can go forever without finding comparison to, but it does this so much better - there's turmoil, peril, melodrama - all the stuff.

But I think we ought to talk about The Feeling. And Jay Sean. And Mark Brown and Sarah Cracknell. All the stuff. I don't want this being the kind of thread where songs get marooned within one post. Part of the reason for this thread is that I'm scared I don't pay enough attention these days, that I dismiss things too out of hand, and I get the horrible feeling everyone else does too. So have at it! (More songs off the playlist to follow)

Kenneth Connor is the hairy blue guy on the left isn't he?

nah that's peter butterworth as the beast (again, miscasting imho - kelsey grammar played the character in the movie, which is much closer to the comic bk version)

xpost aww i really like butterworth as the holiday camp owner in carry on camping. he also has an amazing life story:

Before his acting career started, Butterworth served as a lieutenant commander in the Royal Navy during the Second World War.[1] He was captured in the Netherlands in 1940 and later escaped through a tunnel from Dulag luft, near Frankfurt, in June 1941, where he covered 27 miles (43 km) over three days before a member of the Hitler Youth captured him. Afterwards he joked that he could never work with children again. Two other attempts to escape were made during his time there but he never got beyond the campgrounds.

Whilst at Stalag Luft III he met Talbot Rothwell, who later went on to write many of the Carry On films.[2] Rothwell and Butterworth formed a duet and sang in the camp shows, where booing and catcalls covered the sounds of an escape tunnel being dug by other prisoners. Butterworth was one of the vaulters covering for the escapers during the escape portrayed by the book and film The Wooden Horse. Butterworth later auditioned for the film in 1949 but "didn't look convincingly heroic or athletic enough" according to the makers of the film. To compensate for this the director Jack Lee, named the character played by Leo Genn "Peter", after Butterworth.

Having never performed in public before, Butterworth sang a duet with Rothwell, a song which Rothwell called "The Letter Edged In Black". The performance was followed by some comic repartee which, according to his own account, provoked enough boos and hisses to have the desired effect of drowning out the escape party. After the war, Butterworth kept a photo of the concert party line up, something which offered inspiration to him when starting a career in acting.[3]

Also within the same camp as Butterworth and Rothwell were the future actors Rupert Davies, and Stratford Johns and John Casson, who was the son of Lewis Casson and Sybil Thorndyke.[4] All five remained very close friends after the war ended and they all appeared on This Is Your Life when Butterworth was featured in 1975

Looks more like Sylvester McCoy xp

dschinghis kraan (NickB), Wednesday, 19 June 2013 14:15 (eleven years ago) link

That is EXACTLY what I thought, I even GIS-ed around to see if i could find a picture of Sylveste McCoy with a bald head! It might be that it's supposed to be Kenneth Connor but the artist simply cannot draw Kenneth Connor, what are they teaching kids at art schools these days?

Bees Against Racism (Tom D.), Wednesday, 19 June 2013 14:17 (eleven years ago) link

My mothers boyfriend made a point to call from Australia to let me know this fool levitated next to a bus and put his finger through a quarter. When he pulled his finger away THE COIN WAS COMPLETELY INTACT. My mom is mad impressed by the guy too. How do you get to your 60's and still believe this stuff is for real???

okay, now my computer has a virus thanks obama

I'm not too confident at the moment.

And Jones is in as wicketkeeper to strengthen the batting. http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/cricket/england/6140748.stm
But perhaps this means they might play Monty?

Lets hope Tres finds his form quickly and him and Strauss get some good century partnerships so the pressure isn't on Cook/Pietersen/Bell.
If they indeed choose all three. They might choose Jones and Giles so the batting is stronger if they decide to go with an extra bowler incase Fred isn't up to bowling as much as he normally would.

I don't think Mahmood is up to it. We're gonna miss Simon Jones.
Lets hope Harmison and Hoggard find their form too when it matters.

Prince Kajuku (Bill Magill), Saturday, 30 August 2014 04:37 (ten years ago) link

All sports? I used to think I was like that, but I've soured on a few. That post is mostly names btw, all the technical stuff is implicit - unlike in baseball, every player has a fixed number of innings (two) and everyone, including the bowlers (pitchers), must bat - so balancing a side of 11 players becomes of paramount importance
