  1. Brian Little isn't still at Stoke, is he?
  2. I'd like to see a Bristol side in the Premiership. Anyone been to a game at their ground?
  3. Doh! I meant to add Sheffield Wednesday :oops:
  4. Of these three clubs, all of whom could go down, who would you like to see go down?

    Class move by Boston bringing Billy Buckner back to throw out the first pitch for Opening Day. He was wiping tears away as he walked across the field. At a press conference later he choked up again when someone asked him if he had second thoughts about accepting the invitation. He said that he did, because he still has a hard time accepting the way he was treated by the press, but he almost said "fans". So-called fans who threatened the man's life and his family. I hope those scumbags sunk into their chairs in disgrace when Buck got that ovation, and showed his emotions like that.

    The Braves have shit support, and the stadium is next to a freeway. If you can manage to get to Houston, see an Astros game, the atomosphere will be much better, even though Houston the city kind of sucks. An option worth entertaining would be to see a minor league game. You've probably heard of the movie Bull Durham. Well there's a team in Durham, N.C. called the Bulls. N.C. is not the Deep South though. Check out the Birmingham (Alabama) Barons website, and see if you can make a game. It will be far cheaper, and you'll get a better sense of grassroots baseball culture. Definitely worth a look.

    I beg to differ, Ian. The NFL was founded in 1920, the NHL in 1917. Not quite as quaint as the FA, but 90 years constitutes tradition just about anywhere else!
  8. "I've always been around paper. My parents owned a paper shop, didn't they?, yeah, until it blew away."
  9. If the answer is "Cockrobin", what's the question? "What's that in my bum, Batman?"

    Best Bond

    Who do you think has been the best Bond? Who do you think would make a good Bond? I didn't include Lazenby and Dalton, cuz I figured they wouldn't get any votes :winkold:
  11. Don't know the name, but it's Talking Heads, and it starts off like this: "Home...is where I wanna be..." Very cool tune.
  12. Nick, I'm not gonna argue on this one. The poll was meant as a laugh, nothing more. And yeah, my voice changed around 1983....
  13. Thatcher considered Pinochet a close friend.... She was an enthusiastic supporter of Apartheid.... The Falkland War was a calamity.... As was the Poll Tax.... She is obviously not in the same league as Stalin and them, but in my opinion, she's a wicked witch, and that's why she's on there. Sorry to have offended you, I'm just having a little fun with it.
  14. Calm down, Nick....I tell you what, I'll do another evil poll next week, and put Blair on there. And Hitler and Pol Pot too. And Bush and Kissinger and Nixon and Enoch Powell and Ian Paisley and Gerry Adams and John Major and Reagan and Chairman Mao, Castro, Mugabe, Ho Chi Mihn, Chemical Ali, Khaddafy, Bill Clinton, and The Bee Gees.
  15. I said including Hitler was too obvious a choice and he would have won every vote. I forgot to add Pol Pot, as I said, so sorry about that. I'll be sure to get it right the next time.
