16. erm, as it was all for a dare there was no consummation, but i was manually stimulated in turn by the girl i pulled and a boy who was also in the room, who wanted to see my knob in a fully erect state. alas, i had drunk far too much to get it all the way up (it still beat HIS even at 90%) and the full glory was spared. there were 3 boys and 3 girls in the room, all 3 boys and 1 of the girls were fully naked, and the other 2 girls were only wearing knickers. the night ended (after the naked girl upped sticks and headed off) with a wanking contest, the 2 remaining girls (whose idea it was) watching intently as we strived to bring ourselves to climax. it took me about twice as long as anyone else, mostly through fear of being struck by another's jet, being as i was in the centre of the three. throughout, i was made up in lipstick, rouge and a headband, and when i had been wearing clothes it had been drag. one of those ordinary student nights, then...

popular sport on that other island, the one you don't live on

serious question though: is that some ideal formation or are u all gaie?

brazil used it to win the cup in 94?

4 in the defense...4 in the middle...2 in attack

its the 'classic' or standard formation...tried and trusted

(I lived in Basle for a year)

4-4-2 is the most common formation in the game you may know as 'soccer'. Four in defence, four in midfield, two in attack. It is also the formation many simple-minded English footballers are most comfortable with, particularly in international football.

Noted England managerial loser Steve McClaren was famed for deviating from this formation in crucial matches, often unnecessarily, and these matches were usually lost. Particularly the game against Croatia which England needed to not lose in order to qualify for Euro 2008.

4-5-1, the formation used, now means 'not OTM', comedy value of this heightened when noted tactical mastermind L0u1s J@gger proposed an even more ludicrous and complex system prior to the game, which I can't be bothered to look up because it's Christmas morning and I'm waiting for my dad to turn up. He was soundly mocked, anyway.

"You can stand under my umbrella, you can stand under my umbrella" (from the best thread of the year).

(Erm, I mean L0u1s J@gger was soundly mocked, not my dad)

134. Dr C emerges as creditable challenger to Tombot's HARDMAN crown
