The Decemberists

Manic Street Preachers - 1985

That;s GOT to be a joke!?

Kirsty McColl - The End of a Perfect Day

Yes.... but the Arse still won. Today's diary entry;

This one will be a Sheep win I think. I've got a scary feeling you'll make the playoffs this season too, but of course last year I thought Forest would run away with the league. The only way I can see us winning is if everyone raises their game massively as we've nothing else to really achieve this season as staying up does not count as an achievement frankly. The below is from The Secret Diary of Joe Kinnear. It's been excellent last couple of days so I thought I'd share this bit -

I am not European. I am not even British. I'm English goddamnit! Yay to the whole multi-cultural society and all, but, y'know... Anyway, Karl Marx.

The Smiths - There Is A Light That Never Goes Out

There's Only One Decent Lester! One Decent Lester! There's Only One Decent Lester! Super Jack returns to the City Ground! I'm honestly excited about this signing, which probably shows how low Forest are these days. For some reason my calender doesn't include December 11th. So obviously whatever happens on that date, should anything happen at all, really doesn't count in the grand scheme of thing, no sir. Nothing bad can happen...

I think you'd be better off getting Sam Parkin from Swindon but you'd need someone with pace to be up with him. We have 2 of the best in the league in Steve Brooker and Leroy Lita but Brooker only joined a few months ago and Lita would need a few months to adapt(which your fans probably wouldn't like) Howard is playing in a team which creates loads of chances which admittedly he takes most of the time but he is 28 and is unlikely to improve anymore. Well Joe says he's "got a bit of the Alan Shearer about him". Sometimes I really worry about Forest, I really do....

JJ72 - Oxygen

I read a review of the gig in... erm, i think it was Record Collector.

It's like Paul and Ringo going on tour as the Beatles. Although, percentage wise that would be more accurate than Mike and Bruce as the Beach Boys. I mean to have *one* original member? No, sorry. I'm sure the songs sound great and everything, and by are large they are great songs, but it's not right.... they need at least one Wilson brother. By the way, did you read Mike was at the last Smile gig? Apparantly just stood dead still at the back, arms crossed staring at Brian.

Holocaust - Hitler Anti-Catholism non-Kennedy voing - millions Plus there is no such thing as "European". The Spanish are very differnt to the English, who are very different to the French, who are very different to the Germans etc. It's like me saying the someone from Georgia has the exact same culture as someone from New York. The Slavs in the Eastern European states, and to a lesser extent Russia, are certainly very racist people generally. The rest of the continent, the vast majority are relativly liberal about race and everything. One problem is the history of the continent where everyone has been at war with everyone else at some point, which is where the US does have an advantage as it's such a recent nation and has just had the one civil war. But in the same way I wouldn't say that every American has a southern accent, wears a confederate flag coloured shirt and jeans and hangs blacks and Italians like you did 100 odd years ago to say that all Europeans are by nature exceptionally racist is racism itself.

The N word is a rarity over here - former soccer manager Ron Atkinson was sacked from his TV job for saying it when he thought his microphone was dead and it got huge press because it just isn't a word used. The only time I ever hear it is when I'm unlucky enough to hear some US rap music. And, yeah, I forgot everyone not born in the US is actually just like Hitler, my mistake. But there's similar attitude is the US, if not to Jews. Millions of peope didn't vote for Kennedy as he was a Catholic.

Going up this year, no problem. Do any League 1 fans know anything about Howard who plays for Luton? Joe's decided he's the answer to all our problems....

Well at least us in Europe didn't wait till the 1860s to realise that maybe, just maybe, having black people as slaves was not the best thing to do...

*IF* it's true... Dusty for World Champ within three months!

Because that one's on the Eddie DVD.

Yeah, cos RVD has never gotten over on his own so it's about time they gave him a 'personal trainer'...

- Popbitch. Sounds like El-Hadji Diouf to me....

Jesus Christ!

Ah, isn't football great? We were brilliant tonight and really deserved to win it. Extra time was just too much though and Fulham's quality showed through. And considering their sub goalkeeper cost £7.5m and our entire team cost us £5m, and that was just our three center forwards it was a great result after 90 minutes. AND we had two players subbed before half-time because the Premier thugs got Louis-Jean and Commons injured. AND we played the end of extra time with ten men as Johnno was injured and we had no subs left. Very, very, proud

Relax... you're still better than Blackburn. 500th post protest - DOUGHTY OUT!

Morrissey - Don't Make Fun Of Daddy's Voice

All these polls are bollocks anyway. Although, it is the beginning of old Paul slowly becoming the bland, 'safe' Macca of post 68... but he's written a LOT worse songs than Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da. The rest I think I agree with though.
