glad to hear it re forum. that's cool. 'the miracle against bristol city' :) for the record, i would LOVE you and Albion up automatic, and either another midlands club or a Welsh team via the PL. (we need more Mercian teams in the top flight, and a thinning of the Lancastrian herd. and an...

good luck Hucks, i was well pleased for Wall on Monday night, and i am sure you too can do the business. oh i saw the (wonderful) touring exhibtion of Bridget Riley at Birmingham Art Gallery the other day. there's a huge green and yellow Op Art thing there. i thought it would be perfect for the...

is it true some of your fans are now barracking BD? i know your recent form as you and hucks note has been speckly, but you surely just have to shake your head at that. i mean, what's he done in the last couple of years is great...

if you like real ale DQ, the Newcastle Arms near the stadium is a fine pub. give Shearer's Bar a wide berth though. appropriately enough, it's normally so busy on match days you have to elbow your way in... ...no doubt you can let loose a few choruses of 'My garden shed is bigger than...

nice one Vim and Cracker re GOP lunacy. and big love to P as ever for clear-eyed approach. from Vim's link, hope i don't sound tinfoil hat on one small point, but i've read the WSJ a lot down the years (though i can't recall doing so post-Murdoch ownership), and usually found the editorials a...

jesus wept. is this the Med, or Atlantic? if former, i am well and truly punched in the mouth. good grief. (would be swish for the latter, but even more so if it occurs in what is basically that giant duck pond.) Bay of Biscay has to be the choppiest European water, right?

that was me, i didn't mean to sound overly snarky about them, may try their beef, thanks for the tip, their pork is certainly nice :cool: nice one Peter for Cincinnati suggestion. something Grizzleb said chimed w one of my earlier contributions in the thread: where Grizzleb mentioned about...

to treat tyranny's thread w the seriousness it deserves, does anyone know how likely Obama is to able to repeal 'don't ask, don't tell'? (i know he rightly regards it as an anachronism.) does anecdotal evidence (obv there's no other kind, i assume) suggest most serving US soldiers tend to back...

secretly Jewish too.

i blame the Bosnian Serb and federal Yugoslav governments myself.

ah right. i know Vim and i agree that J Sacco's Palestine is a very good attempt at fleshing out the Palestinian experience: and i know you are a big graphic novels man, Droid. the last good sound/vision attempt at 'Palestinian life' i saw (and i don't see many, granted) was that (i think...

ha! class. i do <3 you Nomad :) Peter's blue suedes FTW.

i find it deeply heartening reading everyone over the last few pages, swapping tales and pulling together. Dissensians: you are all lovely and i love everyone :)

i really want to see this, nice one V.

a crucial distinction, made well.

also can i add that NYT piece that Pstyle posted (nice one) about Bigelow's struggles to get it made was a really great article, cheers. and out to Padraig on it, once again, i remember you yammering on it on your blog and i was struck back then :cool:

yeah that movie you mention got a lot of press, might have to check it out, nice one. i like Winterbottom's Welcome to Sarajevo incidentally. The Terrorist is a 1999 film about the original suicide bombers, as it were: IIRC it doesn't explicitly say the young woman of the title is a Tiger, but...

tb a bit more serious for a mo, and keep it more on-topic, something Gumdrops asked interested me. i don't know the answer to 'are there any films from an Iraqi or Afghan pov re the WoT' (what is drama like on TV in these countries? Padraig or Soof or Pstyle posted some things on the Iraq thread...

i love my comedy

i think i speak for Ollie too when i say the Nomad and Jambo debate earlier in this thread is a cracker.
