Re: arriving late: I left work in loads of time to drive down from London. Ended up queuing for 30 mins on the near-stationary A23 in torrential rain, traffic shite; then queued over 20 minutes for a bus from park and ride – the shittest service in 4 years of P&R frankly; then queued 10 minutes...
Live update from W1, central London. The sun is shining. I've just had a coffee and bagel, and the office is fairly quiet. No sign of Tim Carder's 'mobbing' hordes, but I can see the Post Office tower and, if I strain my neck, Oxford Street out the window, so I'll let you know if it all starts...
I am, ahem, 'working at home'. Which will probably mean making my escape for the south coast at about 4pm, and hoping no-one form the office calls after then.
We can f***ing talk.
Picketts Lock and the 2005 World Athletics Championship anyone?
Uk wins the right to host a major global sporting championship on the promise of a spanking new stadium. Couple of years down the line, said stadium is still mired in planning problems and not one brick has...
Did the TFI Friday bar 4 times, which always good fun - free booze and mingling with celebs after. Was very useful having Willlll as a friend....
And Goodbye Goldstone which was not fun, in any sense. Though I'm still gutted my comment about Jo Bellotti's dandruff (I was sat behind her and it...
If anyone's looking to add to their Jamie Cullum, Katie Melua and Norah Jones collections of well-produced and harmless music-by-numbers, here you go. Personally this kind of bland, dull and safe stuff stupefies me with boredom. It's like living in Guildford and saying "I support Man Utd...
Postiga at Spurs.
He cost £6 million (I think) in the same summer Spurs bought Bobby, but there was no way he was worth 4 Bobby Zamoras. I saw him play at Fulham vs Spurs, and he was very mediocre. Think he might have managed a couple of goals all season, but I can't be arsed to trawl any stat...
Chinese.
Come on, be honest, when did you last have a Chinese takeaway that was anything other than gloopy MSG-soaked junk? Fine to fuel a night on the piss, but as a cuisine it's far behind Thai or Indian...
Re: Re: Which current band would you most like to see live ?
Me too, with Throwing Muses supporting? I remember that.
Current band: Luna
Disbanded band: Joy Division
Did for a year in Edinburgh, in a lovely flat. Had it to myself during the week, girlfriend came up at weekends. Ideal really, looking back on it it will be probably be the best living arrangement of my life.
Now live in London with same girlfriend. It's ok, flat is way near as nice, but am...
How many times do you reckon we'll have this thread?
Seeing as it's already been done about 6 times in recent weeks, I reckon 25-30 altogether, depending on whether we get past the first round.

£1000, from sticking £100 at 10-1 on the Albion to win Div 3 in 2000-1. Placed the bet the day Bobby signed.
How happy was I when Sir Danny rose to head the winner against Cheaterfraud!
Leeds are the biggest victims of the fallout from the boom years of three or four seasons ago, because they were the biggest culprits at sticking their noses in its trough.
They borrowed huge sums against the projection that they'd be swimming in European Cup money season after season, and...
Kanchelskis! Kanchelskis!
We thought he'd sign but he was taking the piss.
With a nick nack paddywhack how long has this gone on
He's a bloody lazy has-been we really don't miss.
