Oh, and one last continuity error - Cheryl's older than John by about three or four years, so her birthday should've been 1940 or 1941... If Jon Vankin wants to hire a pedant to check over these scripts, he'll find my going rate surprisingly affordable.

If you want to hire someone who can do maths to look over your posts ...

Can we nominate other threads to be merged into it ?

PLZ REPORT BACK WITH YOUR OPINONS ON THIS!

You are wrong, he does not have feet.

He has one foot, and it is a left foot.

I've never seen him use his right foot, so therefore he must not have one.

OMG! WAIT, WIKIPEDICURE SAY HE HAVE TWO ! OMG!

Dear Lord McMahon,

please can you assemble all of these threads in one thread, entitled "OMG! I <3 Constanteen" ?

And Birmingham City won the first one ever, and then won the first trophy that way. Both goals scored by Paul Tait.

I almost agree with that but the open-ended nature of GG could throw up all kinds of problems (like old-fashioned tie-breakers in tennis that could stretch on for hours).

Golden goal was not open ended.

If it went to 30 mins, THEN there were penalties.

I reckon he wants my dog in a dirty way.

Oh and I read this TRUE story, where he slept with Sue out of Sooty and Sweep.

All cup games that reach extra time should be decided on the "golden goal" (next goal wins). Penalties have always been a shite way to decide a drawn game.

Can someone hook me up with a copy ?

 

I didn't get a chance to hit the shop last week and they're all sold out in Dublin now 

I'll send you one on Friday.

implying that I only put weight on the advice of people who agree with me.

 

And stop making idiotic judgments about me, please. I dont align myself with people or do anything at all cos 'its the thing to do'. dont insult my intelligence. Debate is fine by me. Suggestions that I'm some kind of sycophantic moron are not.

 

The neanderthal jocks that lived in the frat house next to my dorm and watched Boat Trip every weekend and deemed it the funniest movie ever simply do not have as valuable an opinion as, say, someone with a triple digit IQ. To say that they do is an utterly ludicrous statement.

 

I dont imply or suggest anything, I simply ask a question. Thats how debate works, you know.

 

I am sorry that you seem to take it that way, but the quastion marks were there.

Ah come on James, those "questions" were posed in a way that most people reading this thread could interpret you as being rhetorical or sarcastic.

Having said that, I don't agree with Abi's take here.

Firstly because I am not one for intellectual elitism (or snobbery),

and secondly because if Frat Boys like it, there's a chance I won't.

There's also a chance I will, given Beavis & Butthead and Bill & Ted and Harold & Kumar ...

But most of all, because if someone says they like it, and can explain to me why, it'll be a useful measure either way.

You really don't like us very much do you?

You're not that bad.

I am being funny.

Hagren is trying too.

1:or half good ;) (what is your exact base for that number?)

No. 70% said it was HALF BAD.

Only 30% said it was HALF GOOD.

Scientific research says so.

Nah - football is ace, especially when you're drawing 2-2 and three minutes into injury time when a Luton player, who should have been sent off earlier, slices the ball into his own net with a graceful lob.

That kind of justice is rare.

eg: Blackburn's Andy Todd gets sent off for accidental handball, there is uproar.

Following week, Repka of West Ham deliberately handles ball as David Dunn runs past him towards goal - he is not sent off. Later in the game he pushes Emile Heskey as he climbs to score an (undeserved) equalizer. West Ham's winner, by the way, comes from a cross that is six inches over the line.

Fast forward to last weekend.

Manchester City walk through Birmingham's so-called defence unchallenged and score four. Late on, Birmingham's loan star Jiri Jarosik crosses the ball from six inches on the pitch for Nicky Butt to score an (undeserved) consolation goal, which is disallowed by the linesman because he thinks it crossed the line. Despite letting in four, Nico Vaesen probably kept it under a dozen, and for his trouble, he is sent off for two yellow cards. One for that challenge that keepers do all the time where they stretch out across a player's path and that player suddenly loses the ability to avoid a tackle because they have lost the ball anyway (I've seen goalies get sent off for this and at least the ref did not compound the dive by sending Vaesen off).

However, he was later sent off for dropping the ball in the penalty area, then catching it again while stood on the line of the box. As this was two yellow cards he cannot appeal against the incorrect sending off.

Now, this is not a big problem, Vaesen was only in the team because Maik Taylor made four mistakes in four games and cost goals - ignoring the two dozen goals he's saved this season.

So, let's hope the justice earned above comes home to roost this evening.

By the way, I am not trying to make excuses for Birmingham's plight.

They are rubbish and deserve to be below everyone but Fulham and Sunderland.

(NB Linesmen ARE rubbish, though.)

So. Anyway.

A summary to save everyone reading back through all the posts:

70% of the VFB forum thought Constanteen was half bad.

Even the people who like Keanu thought it was not a Hellblazer film.

Martin Scorsese could have done it better with David Beckham in the starring role.

Hollywood can do one, fuckarse.

Viking Stavanger ARE a real football team, John.

And no, football is not rubbish.

Birmingham City (and Everton) are though.

They had to change the line that ends "faggot" to something ending in "haggard".

Which is kind of Morrisettian.

There's an excellent documentary about the song on BBC 3 right now.

If you're in the UK, it'll be repeated at 2am, so set yer videos.

We are not discussing which film to watch here.

(I've seen it and it's shite, but I wouldn't tell anyone else not to watch it.)

(Well, okay, I would.)

Educated opinions: would you take the word of Brian Sewell about which painting to look at, or the advice of a girl you were interested in ? Would you take Jonathan Ross's recommendations on a film or Alex Cox's or John McMahon's ?

Incidentally, I'd still go for the Simpsons' recommendation, because the other bloke clearly does not know what he's looking for, and will probably over-intellectualise the whole business.

I may or may not be interested in "what's technically good" but I prefer to judge art on the visceral response. qv: Andrew Lloyd Webber is a brilliant songwriter but his songs leave me colder than day old rice pudding; Mark E Smith cannot write or sing music but his stuff is great.

When it comes to art, the value of opinions has nothing to do with learning, technical knowledge or understanding.

If you don't like something then it does not mean that it is bad.

If someone else thinks something you like is bad then it should have no impact on your opinion. Someone's desire to justify their love of a work of art may make me understand it more - but that doesn't mean I'll like it.

While I disagree with their opinion about The Awful Film, I don't value their opinions about it any less than someone who agrees with me.

Nobody in their right mind will confuse this Swampy with THAT one.

This one's the real one.

It's no problem, I'll send it to you in Germany.

Candyman. If it's a myth, how can you believe it's not true ? And in any case, it may just be Helen's insanity in which case more believable than all the above.

 

Except that fucking piece of shit ending with her husband rips the arse out of that interpretation. Someone needs to make a director's cut that fades out on the bonfire.

Oh I have been filtering out producers' endings since the days of Carrie.

Except for the one with the Angel Chaz.

Sudoku. Why the fuck is everyone so crazy about this fucking game?  Its just a bunch of fucking numbers.  I hate numbers.  Give me a crossword puzzle any day.

I agree with you.

It's a simple logic problem for accountants.

Enriches the mind absolutely NIL,
