Vanhalen

We do, pretty much, unless we spectatularly fuck it up before the General Election.

This could get even worse, as the European elections and some of the local elections are still to come in.

A day to go wooooooo!

We've just signed this fucking mint left back from Ajax.

You know what, thats actually a great point, if I can tie it into something else, the German Chancellor was invited to the D-Day celebrations for the first time ever, surely we cant let symbols/events from sometime ago, continue to influence our thinking in the 21st century?(not that I'm saying that you should forget about these awful things, just try and forgive)

Yeah, I know, but it all adds to the pressure on him, and he got annihilated last night, so the timebomb is ticking away, I can see the Labour party doing a 'thatcher' on him.

I know this isnt relevant to approx 90% of people, but for the 10% who live in the UK, come on, lets get out and vote, and get Blair out.

Whatever you think about his personal politics, I think its a measure of the man, that not only in the UK is his funeral being carried on all the major 24 hour news networks over here, but also the 4 main terrestial channels, BBC1, ITV and so on, the last time this has happened was for Princess Diana's funeral in 1997, and the Queen Mothers funeral in 2001, so he is in good company there.

Pretty much yeah, she has suffered three stokes, and had her husband pass away last year

Look, heres the thing with England, the better the opposition, the better we play, and the worse the opposition the less we can lift our game, I'm going for a 1-1 draw

Nah Mike, your completly right mate.

Is it friday? I was sure it was tomorrow, hold on, I will find out, and why the hell would clinton want to speak anyway(apart from to shill his book), he wasnt part of the republican party, nor was he part of Reagans staff(afaik)

I actually had to think hard about this, thats why I didnt really post what mine was to start, but one does come to mind, it was during june 96, the year that the Euro Championships had come to England, and we had made the semis, against the team everyone hates, Germany, and the whole country was seriously pumped up for the game, I cant remember an atmosphere like it, anyway, the game kicks off and we are playing well, and suddenly we get a corner after 2 minutes, sheares up and bam we score, 1-0 up against the Germans and life was perfect, of course the fucking Germans had to equalise, and then we lost on penalties thanks to Southgate fucking up, but those 3 minutes were just absoulutly perfect, it just sums up the fantastic summer of 96.

Although I dont pretend to be an expert on middle eastern politics, it seems we are stuck with the lesser of two evils.

Alex Kingston, the 41-year-old British actress who plays Dr Elizabeth Corday in ER, is being axed from the hospital drama because she is "too old". The star launched a stinging attack on the show's producers after she was told her seven-year, £81,000 an episode, rolling contract was not being renewed. Kingston claimed she was being dropped to make way for younger actresses such as 28-year-old Parminder Nagra, the Bend It Like Beckham star who joined the cast last year. "I suddenly felt very old surrounded by these young twentysomethings. Does it mean that I'm the geriatric that's being pushed out because she's too old?" Kingston said in an interview with the Radio Times. "[The show] definitely seems to be taking a different tone. I understand it needs to keep reinventing itself in order to keep going, and apparently I, according to the producers, the writers, am part of the old fogeys who are no longer interesting. In that respect it's a shame," she added. "It's fine to have young med students, but you need to have figures of authority, people of different ages, races, shapes and sizes. The actress, who has been in the medical soap since 1997, said she had feared getting the axe for the past two years. "I was patently aware that, this last season, I was being used less and less, and also that my contract was up this year. "So there was a point where I had to find out what was going on, and that was when the producers said they would no longer renew my contract. It was a shock and obviously upsetting, but it's just your ego that's upset. Then I got over it. "Once I knew what their intentions were, it was easier to deal with it, because two years of not knowing what was going on was not very nice and I wouldn't wish it on anyone." Kingston, who spent much of her early career with the Royal Shakespeare Company before landing a role of Adele in Peter Greenaway's 1989 film The Cook, the Thief, His Wife & Her Lover, said her £2.3m annual salary may have also played a part in the decision. "I don't think any of the American networks knew how phenomenally successful Friends and ER would ever be and the power that those actors could command. But in today's climate, I think it's going the other way. Studios and producers make their contracts watertight and are much tough in negotiating," she said. "I'm sure there must have been some financial feelings behind the decision not to renew my contract. I know for a fact that the newcomers aren't getting much at all." Once married to Ralph Fiennes, Kingston said she was not yet sure how she would be written out of the show. "I had an idea of what was going to happen and it was something I firmly rejected. They were planning to get me involved with yet another man, and I'm already juggling two," she explained. In the interview Kingston said she had decided not to look for another role in a US soap "because there's an enormous amount of crap about because they have so many stations". Instead, she said she would be returning to the UK to make an independent British film and develop a TV show.

Yeah, thats a perfectly fair comment, theres no way in hell you can generalise 300 million people and I apologise for it

They did that sub-plot when she moved to the UK, and basically for about 7-8 shows ER did nothing else but slag off how bad the UK health service was, as opposed to the American one, which was very funny.

Ah right, apologies, well if the Horror Channel US is anything like the UK version and ditto for the wrestling channel, it will fucking rock
