    Best opening lines in movie history

    My favourite here. Choose Life. Choose a job. Choose a career. Choose a family. Choose a ****ing big television, choose washing machines, cars, compact disc players and electrical tin openers. Choose good health, low cholesterol and dental insurance. Choose fixed interest mortgage repayments...

    The Olympics

    I would have put this on The Slippery Column, but I thought that maybe it would have a wider interest. I think I'm going to get a lot of hate mail for this one.... It has swallowed up half of Rafa Benitez's midfield, savaged Mark Hughes' plans for a successful start, forced AC Milan fans to...

    HT LWB Bug

    Bugger. Left wing back training bug from start of season (now fixed) for pure defence trainers only. 2x6 weeks of training down the pan. It is hard enough training defence in a midfield dominated game without this happening. No compensation. Also one of my newer purchases with decent PM +...
  5. Car body repairs in Hockley / Rayleigh / Rochford area

    Had a bit of a ding in my car last month which messed up the headlights and the front a bit. Have decided it needs to get fixed but I want to go somewhere where I'm not going to get taken on as I'm not the most vehicle-savvy person on Earth. Got quoted £800 this morning which is more than the...

    Dear Ron, how much do you want for the West Stand?

    Dear Uncle Ron, I would like to know the answer to the above question please. I am not flush with dosh but do have the space. Having spent a considerable part of the last 37 years in the West Stand I think it would be a shame for it just to be smacked to bits. If it could be taken down...

  9. Football Manager Live

    Thought i'd give you guys an update on the game as i've been testing it now for 2 months. Since I last posted, they've added a ton of new features to test that'll be included in the release version. The new Match Engine seems Ok... More of a fixed FM08 Engine now but still a little bugs to be...

  11. Slipperduke

    We are very fortunate to have in our midst a writer of the calibre of Slipperduke - the columns he writes are invariably well thought out and excelently written. I'm not sure that there are many, if any, fan's forums out there who have a writer as good as this contributing regularly. So it...

    Time Running Out for Rafa

    Time Running Out for Rafa I’ve never been entirely sure about Alan Curbishley. He never seems to be the kind of man who can turn a game, the motivational dynamo who can lift the players, or the tactical genius who can outwit the greats. I’m not still not sure he’s any of the above, but he’s...

    All, there are some serious bugs with rep at the moment, so I've turned it off until we can get it fixed. Cheers James
  16. Mortgage payment protection in the event of redundancy

    Has anybody actually been made redundant and claimed on a policy? Basically we've got our annual redundancy "game" being played out again at work. This year I've just got a gut feeling it's my year and we find out at the end of this month. I can see the signs - my annual season ticket ends on...

    A really obscure question

    Ok, this may seem a strange request, but does anyone have any thoughts on getting a Ring cut off ones finger.........Do I go to a jeweller, the Hospital, the fire brigade ??? I have worn a particular ring ever since my 21st birthday (it was a present) and it has never been taken off. I am now a...

    Letter to the Chancellor...

    Oops, looks like Mervyn has had to write to Gordon to explain why inflation this month is at 3.1%... clicky (pdf) Two thoughts: 1. Interest rates will be up again next month - watch out all those on anything other than fixed rate mortgages. 2. This paragraph leapt out: Why did CPI inflation...
