Doubtful.

There was a special kid at school who pissed himself sometimes, he did it on a school trip once in front of nearly everybody (the worst 'lets point and laugh' moment i've seen someone have) and that he was given a shower and a scrub one time by a special teacher. I think most of us wince for kids like that when its obvious they would be better off not being at a mainstream school. He called for one of my friends once apparantly, he washed his doorbell afterwards. I heard a teacher caught somebody recieving a blowjob in the school toilets. Must have been an awkward one. I nipped upstairs for a piss at my mates house once and bumped into his completely naked mum. Seeing as I must have missed a 'stupid things you've done' thread I once fell off a ladder because I didn't set it up properly. Doesn't sound that bad? The fact I was only going up the loft to get some old comics to read because I was bored and I crashed right through the middle of a glass bathroom doormade it worse. Pretty hardcore experience for somebody who's walked straight into a door and fainted before because he got a little blood blister on his finger.

Nope...got a question though. Why doesn't the rest of the world play or watch either Aussie Rules or American 'football'?

With Pressman(Saw him the other day and he looks way heavier than a few years ago) and Walker as your Goalie's you should be pleased with the cleansheet What forward combination are you using? you should get Neil Shipperly on loan from Crystal Palace and hope that him and Connolly do what they did at Wimbledon(namely getting 45 goals between them a season). Burnley have actually done ok defensively since they bought Championship Manager legend Mike Duff from Cheltenham for £25,000(on CM it's 10 times that) Edit: The Real Madrid coach has resigned after 3 league games because the dressing room problems(Raul's said to have huge influence on previous manager's team selections) so Owen and Woodgate now might get a manager who doesn't rate them. Walker's a good keeper, he's got better with age I think and he's as good as a decent few in the Premier. He just had three really bad games on the bounce last season after that fan ran on the pitch to him vs Villa. Steve Cotterill is a good defensive coach and he obviously knew as well as anybody how predictable a Micky Adams side is offensively having coached here last season. Burnley hardly broke sweat keeping us at bay for that point. I don't think Connolly's a bad player but he's lost his confidence with not scoring and we've got a midfield that's not going to provide any service for him, Shipperly can stay at Palace, we've got enough donkeys here already. Funny thing on Saturday when the crowd were chanting for young Tommy Smith to come on and when Blake comes on instead he got booed. I'm not surprised at the Madrid news but Raul needs kick up the backside, he's been awful for as long as I can remember.

I didn't think he'd looked in good health for years (even his last months at Forest he looked unwell) but its still a shock all the same. What he acheived in the 70's was unbelievable.

0-0 at home to Burnley. One of the most boring matches i've ever seen. We're unbelievably poor this season, no quality or imagination going forward whatsoever and the team has less character and drive than any side since the David Pleat era (and i'm barely old enough to remember that). Micky Adams is on borrowed time. Anybody could have got us up with Portsmouth 2 seasons ago and a better manager could have kept us up last season as well. We haven't got a game plan or a clue, our home record is something like two wins in 27 or something similar. There's no excuse for not winning most of our home matches in this division at least and the fact we're struggling so much in such a poor division is depressing as hell.

I almost never bothered never checking out Jimmy Eat World based on snobby assumptions but listening to the Clarity album made me glad I did.

Then why didn't Green Day get booed off, too? 50 Cent was likely percieved as having a bit of an ego, as somebody who probably believes his own hype and deserves to be taken down a peg or two. Many fans there wouldn't have been too fond of mainstream rap anyway and 50 Cent can seem pretty dull compared to the smart crossover appeal of a character like Eminem. As for Green Day, they know how to play to a festival crowd and win them over quite well. Their goofy antics with audience participation and general air of good dumb fun is usually very effective at festivals. Its easy enough to notice that most 'bottle victims' these days are acts who have became big in recent times rather than having been around for a long while.

I used to buy it when I was younger, its become more like Smash Hits since the late 90's and ceased to be the 'proper' rock magazine it used to be in most people's eyes. This would pretty much be the view of people who wore Metallica/Maiden tops 15+ years ago (not me!) and went to Donnington every year. I think the magazine's just adapted to the times and realised that they need to cover more than just the more traditional/old school 'metal' end of things to bring in the increasingly younger rock fan who probably likes that stuff but equally likes Eminem & bands the older fans would call 'indie shite'. Kerrang deliberately caters for that now. Its safe to say you wouldn't get any 30+ year olds buying it these days, I bet very few 20+ people do either.

Ray Stubbs is an unsung hero. I'll sadly never watch him much now on a Saturday morning because i've just got SKY (Chris Kamara is brilliant, Rodney Marsh is a t**t). You just know Ray would say that exact line if he got chance. Christ, how fucking old is that one? Heard it a few times as a Leicester fan of course.

They can have Micky Adams if they want.

I've got Kezman as well and was thinking the exact same thing.

Sole reference point: It Still Moves. One of my least favorite vocalists at more points than not - Wayne Coyne and Thom Yorke's whine without the charm. Veering more towards the country side of alt-country. Some good instrumental bits, but altogether very little that compels me to listen on a regular basis. I had the opportunity to see them a 20-minute walk from my school for $10 and didn't. Verdict: No major hatred, but no major love either. I'd probably have the same verdict on them if that was the only album i'd listened to and if that's the case for all you haters then I half forgive you all. Their first two albums are ten times better, At Dawn being especially good. The lead singer's voice is in a different league to somebody like Wayne Coyne, who's voice is very hit and miss and weakens his band's songs far too often. Maybe the MMJ singer's voice isn't everyboy's cup of tea (it wasn't mine either at first) but the fact is he CAN sing and he's capable of holding a note, which is more than Wayne Coyne and umpteen other indie vocalists can do. Franz Ferdinand are good.

I bet you love that ref as well. Chris Kamara can be one of the funniest people on TV, especially when he's doing one of his dressing room tours. Leicester were total shit yesterday, one of the worst displays I can remember. We aren't going anywhere this season and it'll probably be just as well.

Worst fucking band. You're both wrong. Great fucking band. Go listen to Allman Brothers, then. MMJ are a million miles away from being bland retro copyists of southern rock so that statement/'advice' isn't clever or accurate i'm afraid. You know you wouldn't hate them if the singer had a NY accent.

Great goal by Wright-Phillips in the second half.

63rd with a bang.

The Tenant - 6/10 VERY weird Polanski film from 1976. Not totally sure if this was intended as part black comedy and part pychological thriller/horror or what but I was never convinced or ultimately won over by any of it. Polanski played the lead role himself and there's odd flashes of brilliance in the creepier scenes which are the best in the film and make you wonder if it would have worked better as more of a straight-faced chiller (well, a Polanski one anyway). Impossible not to compare to Repulsion in some aspects but not in the same league really. The print shown at the cinema was ok considering the state some of some of less often screened old films. Possibly worth checking out if you're curious or into the man's work but its not a film i'll rush to see again.

I really can't see Owen doing much at Madrid, it seems a weird move to me. At some other big European side he could maybe establish himself but there's so much other crap that goes with being at that club that takes its toll on characters like him. Raul is a god there, always playing regardless of form, Ronaldo won't stand being on the bench and Morientes is on fire at the moment. Derby had a really good result, Leicester had a crap one. Jody Morris scoring against you doesn't leave a great taste in the mouth either. Iwan Roberts is still scoring in this division!
