    Self hating? Jesus. That's a horrible thing to call someone off the back of a couple of comments in a post match interview. They've been asked questions and they've answered them. Neither have said Terry is or is not a racist. Anyway, I thought this, about the last guy to be suspended from...

    Just wanted to check that Tokyo Sexwale was included. He is? Good.

    Twees're Good (except they're not)

    Was about to say "Yes! That's exactly right!" Then I realised I think you've left a negative out somehwere.... Anyway, B&S are twee, even if you like them (which you are perfectly within your rights and utterly incorrect to do) but Izzard is not. He's surreal and whimsical and annoying and, I...

    And weren't much better before. They've behaved terribly. Also, EBJT soon to be renamed EBRJT. He's still totally B, I'm sure we're agreed. http://football365.com/news/21554/7390319/Terry-Vows-To-Fight-Race-Prosecution... Edit: And I still don't know how to link pictures but those t shirts...

    I think he's fucked anyway, but he's double fucked now. Terry's case is far more obvious than Suarez's. Not his second language, no cultural issues. Have to say I'm surprised the ban was so harsh. The length of deliberation made me think they were trying to come up with a way out of passing...

    That's quite low quality trolling. I know troll, troll says he don't know you

    Grooverider had it up on his myspace page and I d/led it from there, tho it's probably no better quality than a you tube rip. Happy to send it you if you like.

    Twees're Good (except they're not)

    Yeah, totally. There are lots of young middle class people in E London so there will be twee stuff but I don't think it originates there. But also take the points about how culture propogates and "succeeds" in Secondline's post. So E London becomes a shorthand for "where this stuff originates" I...

    As an arriviste Dalstonite - so much more affordable than Stoke Newington! - I feel I can chip in here. There's plenty of post dubstep day glo hoodies and plenty of knitting cricles. Loads of ridiculous moustaches and people wearing shorts with shoes. Enough for everyone! Clearly twee goes way...

    Dissensus Best of 2011 Discussion

    This year my favourite albums were by Rustie and Zombie. They've both been around for a bit, even if Rustie's album is strictly speaking his debut. So I've not "discovered" any new artists/ producers this year that I really love this year, though I quite like a few Ossie and DOK tracks, if they...

    I think the film Juno is responsible for this. It was the only film I've ever considered walking out of on account of the soundtrack. I like múm tho, or at least I have one album of theirs from about ten years ago and it's OK.

    Inevitable (?) office party thread

    It's not really a global economic crisis at all. China refers to it as the North Atlantic Crisis. Back on topic - we went for a Christmas meal in a pub at the end of November. IT was the first time we've ever done anything ever. The learning curve is somewhat steep.

    Only three managers currently in the bottom ten have ever managed another Prem team, successfully (Jol) or otherwise (Bruce). Seven of the top ten have (exceptions being Ferguson, Wenger and AVB). The problem comes lower down the leagues, really. Paul Jewell is still in paid employment, much...
