I watched Leicester v Watford last night. It was quite enjoyable.

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

But watching football at that level really does remind you just how good remarkably good premiership players are. Particularly midfielders. There is a simply enormous difference in quality. Skill AND technique.

[Berni]

After all, lots of people prefer Jack Higgins to James Joyce, despite the enormous gap in skill and technique between them. Are they wrong? Are they?

for an individual, but this purely subjective response may vary between viewers.

Leicester appear to be sponsored by the Bangkok airport duty free shop. This puzzles me.

[David Pleat AHADF (Royal Welsher and monkey lover)]

[Rich]

Apparently the latter also used to play for Arsenal. This was news to me.

last time I was there. Think it was still a novelty then

[Luis Anaconda]

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

These Thais are crazy.

[David Pleat AHADF (Royal Welsher and monkey lover)]

any other team, its not about money. The games are enjoyable and noone goes into a game thinking "well we wont win there" like the premiership. Its a harder league and the refs may not be brilliant but they dont pull a card out because some c*nt falls over untouched.

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

Thick c**t.

Joyce, not you.

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

Good luck to you, old chap. Enjoy.

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

Never.

[Monty91]

get one or two teams who pull away from the rest and end up gaining promotion comfortably, and then a bunch of about 6-8 other teams fighting for the playoff places?

Sounds a bit familiar...

Fill your boots. You can chuck in a Tittering, if you fancy one.

[Peter]

I was caught in the acto f drinking for hyde park and i missed thunder road :banghead:

Curfew is 11, he could come on by seven, possibly?

[Monty91]

[David Pleat AHADF (Royal Welsher and monkey lover)]

second from last weekend for 2 seaqsons running only 2 teams wernt playing for anything. Interestingly Cardiff hardly set the league alight.

[Peter]

Fancy dans is more honest dont you.

Go on, admit it. More honest....

[Berni]

[David Pleat AHADF (Royal Welsher and monkey lover)]

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

so that I don't have to moderate my drinking. I will therefore arrive during the afternoon and drink myself into a suitable condition, pausing only occasionally to pop back to my room for chemical refreshment.

In short, I'm not the best person to ask such a question as I will be a bit messed up.

[Ashberto]

[Classic Jorge]

And, also, hasnt your hero sralxfrgsn done more than anybody else to make the premiership a hegemonic borefest?

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

[Peter]

Room number? We can swap refreshments!

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

[Berni]

c**t, la, surely?

[David Pleat AHADF (Royal Welsher and monkey lover)]

and they aint very good at conning the refs or trickery.

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

Swinging?

[Classic Jorge]

[Classic Jorge]

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

[Peter]

Or he will be 'falling down drunk' by kick off. Pretty much what happened last time. I remember very little of the set.

He was booking the hotel and i am sure he said the hilton.

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

That'll keep him on his feet imo.

[Rich]

[Monty91]

[Peter]

I will get a lecture if he suspects me.

[Classic Jorge]

More 'home counties' I would have thought

[Berni]

Some people are better suited to other things. Like operating lathes and such.

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

[Monty91]

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

Why must everything be ruined?

[Classic Jorge]

And you've done remarkably well to shed your suburban won

[Brentwood]

[Ashberto]

And all I do is build stuff to allow the arty-farty types to make easy decisions for which they pay themselves six figure sums for. :-(

Fortunately the day will come when the toiling creators of wealth will overthrow their idle warders :nod:

[Ashberto]

It completely misses the point.

Frank Herbert wasn't challenging, just dull. One of the reasons I stopped reading Sci-Fi in fact. (The others reasons probably being most of the other Sci-Fi writers I was reading at the time. I really went off it / grew out of it)

[Rich]

[Classic Jorge]

It's very odd that we seem to have created our own genre of fantasy based whimsy in this country, pratchett, adams etc

[Ashberto]

Fantasy and sc-fi are just vehicles, as fantasy was for Swift.

[Classic Jorge]

Interesting about Swift in that case, could we also add Edgar Wright to that?

It's still a very english subsubsubgenre, no matter how many people would say swift is irish.
