No not really mate, we never come up against them as they are in a different league to us. To put it into perspective, we are one of the biggest electrical contractors south of Birmingham (Bromsgrove, Redditch, Worcester, Dudley etc.), we turn over between £5-6m per annum...these guys were doing in excess of £100m! People like NG Bailey will be loving this news. Just means another 400 poor sparks without a job!

I put it in the General Chat thread but suppose it should well belong in here...

MJN Colston (huge mechanical & electrical contracting firm) have gone under this morning! Annual turnover of in excess of £100m :shock: They were the m&e contractor who did the Emirates Stadium! 500 poor **** without a job.

I'd argue that he's the best centre half we have along with potentially Clark.

Did he wrap it in gift paper? No. Thats ok then.

Did he wrap it in gift paper?

I would probably qualify as a cheap friend then. me too. Mates don't usually get birthday gifts for each other unless they are ghey, do they? Very true Jon. :nod: A hand shake/manly slap on the back and a gift of a pint is all that is required. More info on how to be a man/not be ghey can be found here.

Brilliant news mate, chuffed for you both!

Group hug?

Nope, sorry...im a bloke, it's impossible for me to ignore boob action!

Both were fantastic players. At the peak of their powers would play in any team in the PL. So I don’t think you can say one is a better player? As an all round footballer (which is what the original debate stemmed from), Bergkamp is far superior to Shearer/Henry. Who is the better goalscorer (changing the goal posts), well that is clearly Shearer/Henry. In answer to Eames question, Bergkamp for me was the better footballer. I think people are getting mixed up between an allround footballer and a goalscorer. Figo, Zidane, Nedved, Scholes etc. all superb footballers. Ronaldo (the proper one), Fowler, Shearer, Baggio etc. all superb goalscorers. I agreed with you right up to Baggio!. Superb footballer For your education: a real hero for me. He liked the old curler into the far top corner didnt he!

I've expressed it very poorly but that is what I was getting at.... Henry is rightly an Arsenal legend, absolutely and grabbed the headlines often correctly. But Bergkamp knitted that team together so well - he was the magic that made that side work. Spot on mate. Henry grabbed the headlines, but it was Bergkamp imo who, like you say, "knitted it all together" and made it possible.

When you talk about complete footballers, im really struggling to think of very many (maybe 1 or 2) who were better! As Eames says above, a genius with a football. I seem to remember alot of big games where he bottled it. For me Henry was the better player at club and international level. On the Arsenal website they have voted for their favourite player of all time. Only season ticket holders or website subscribers can vote, they put Henry number 1. I also think Van Persie in his current form is as good. They love Henry for his goals, not his allround play. Like i said, Bergkamp was the complete footballer. How do you know, did you speak to the Arsenal fans who voted? Henry also got a load of assists (sp?) too in his time there. He is the biggest Arsenal legend of all time for many reasons, and the votes showed that. Anyway I am not here to defend or denegrate anyone. When it comes to football what I care about is AVFC (and ROI even though I am not Irish) and not much else. So I am out :arrow: Chill dude, its a discussion based forum and we are discussing. Nobody is wasting nobody!* *internet for whoever gets the film.

I just cant agree with that in the slightest! Outstanding footballer.

Thats it mate, didnt have a clue what was going on!!!

Guys, quick question. You know when you go into the in game menu and select (cant remember but it beigins with 'C' and you can use your points to unlock new attacks etc.) do you have any control over that or do you just have to go in order? It looks like a constilation and i didnt really have a clue what i was clicking on until all my points (not gill) were used up?!?! Ta.

Yeah, I'm with Eames on this. It's not a big problem. You should have gone with "I was having a w*nk before you came in, but since you're here now you might as well suck me off". It's what I said to my Mum when she caught me. If I was good enough to be able to pull that one off (ooh), I wouldn't have been having a tug in the first place, I could have just gone and woke her up. To be fair, sometimes you dont want sex and a good 5 knuckle shuffle is more than enough satisfaction.

Why didn't you just say "I was smashing one out - but now you're here....." Would it be a problem if you were caught? :? Im with Eames on this. Should have just told the truth, whats there to hide? Its not like they dont do it! And before you say anything, they all do it regardless of what they say. You were in bed asleep...i was horny...i cracked one off! No big deal.

Might have to just pop my head in there and see what all the fuss is about!

Do you visit the phenomenal talent that is Sticky Vicky? Of course i find it impossible for anyone to go to Benidorm and not encounter sticky vicky it was the real one as well not the daughter i seen her pull a chain of razor blades out she then showed they were real by slicing pieces of cardboard she pulled out lightbulbs and stuff it was impressive I also seen Peat Loaf at jokers and various other bands seen some lesbo show as well at the Red Dog Yeah, ive heard that some of the tribute acts are brilliant and make for a cracking night. Ahem....where is this Red Dog's of which you speak?
