pretty much unmatched in aggregate

the unmatched history of Liverpool

My lazy and imprecise use of language lets me down again. I meant those two things to mean exactly the same. I’m ashamed that I left a gap big enough for a subjective wedge.

Why don’t we all flounce off, as JY says, and reconvene in precisely one year’s time to consider whether Brendan managed to find a

single solitary reason

to have wasted his time at our magnificent club..?

If she is keeping this alleged affair from her friends, then she is unlikely to take the phone which he calls her and texts her on with her when she goes out.

Yeah, but even with all that in mind, pinching someone’s phone and texting on it is stalkerishly weird behaviour no matter what the circumstances.

*League – Man U
Fa cup- Man u – you are forth
Charitty sheild – Man u
Euro – { best in englandshire 5 to 3] but real madrid and Milan are ahead of you [ 9 and 7] currently rated 11 in Europe FWIW

So you’ve missed my point in order to snipe, but for the record I’d suggest that most European cup wins (for an English team), second most League titles (only one behind), most League cup wins (you forgot that one), and fourth most FA cup wins is pretty much unmatched in aggregate.

No-one’s suggesting that Liverpool can, or want to, live off past glories. Well, no-one other than you and that monkey, and that’s only to flaunt your own prejudices.

It made me laugh until I had tears in my eyes and was struggling getting my breath

I love that feeling, and I’m now jealous that I’m ambivalent towards the texting dog.

Whilst she’s in the bathroom pinch her phone and text the married man and end it for her

This sounds like a very dangerous bit of advice to me!

Will I appear a right killjoy if I say I didn’t find it in the slightest bit funny?

Kitos =thanks

Kiitos…the extra “i” is important! Pronounced “keetoss” (roughly)!

They are by far and away the best. Website descriptions of items are a bit sparse sometimes, but in terms of knowing stuff’s in stock, prices and speed of delivery you can’t beat them.

I don’t know much about Rogers

Not even how to spell his name! I am a tit…

Why should signing a very promising manager make them a laughing stock?

It shouldn’t, and it won’t, and the OP will hopefully be glad to eat his words. What Liverpool have is a great foundation coupled with potential and it strikes me that a young, intelligent, ambitious manager is a fairly shrewd bet to put us where we want to be over the coming few years. I don’t know much about Rogers, but what I’ve read over the past two days about his views on the game makes me think he’ll be a good long term manager. You could draw parallels with Shankly when he arrived at Anfield, but I suppose the game’s changed a lot since then. And I wouldn’t want to tempt fate…

Mid/Southern Finland’s pretty flat, but beautifully quiet and serene. Normally not much to test the uphill muscles but you could cover big distances on a road bike. They have an amazing cycle path network for a country where roads are so quiet in the first place.
Many roads are unmade and there are plenty of forest tracks, so you should be able to find some half decent MTB routes, and, dependent on where you are, maybe even a few hills.
Hope you enjoy it – it’s a great place! (Did I mention I’m half Finnish?)

Looks to me like you’re in love, so no amount of advice or logic is going to sink too far into your brain. Infatuation’s the best feeling in the world so just get on with it bud! And if it all goes tits up, painful as it is, the ensuing melancholy at least makes you know you’ve lived…

A nice Lavazza espresso double macchiato…

Not delusion, a reasonable statement to make given the historical record

Yes but how beautifully naiive of you allude to the salient history of your club, yet deny that the unmatched history of Liverpool has any bearing on the club they are and will be. Hypocrisy of the most laughable order.

And isn’t it telling that the second highest attendance at Villa Park last season was against a poxy “mid-table” club like Liverpool. That says either Liverpool have great fans, or that Villa fans still see something special in Liverpool. But most likely, a bit of both.

I bet you long for 1980 more than we do. As I say, our time will come again. And while I have nothing against Villa and wish them every success, yours is less likely to.

its now painful,red and throbbing

…if that subsides and you start to feel a murderous desire for love, I think you’re turning into a Smiths’ song.

you’re either a liverpool fan

Your perspicacity (did my quoting the “You’ll Never Walk Alone” lyric provide a cryptic clue, I wonder?) is second only to your blatant hatred of all things LFC. Not that I mind that, I love partisanship, but it drapes the cloud of bitter resentment over all your comments.

Even the Daily Fascist like Anfield…

you’ll have little chance of it returning until you realise that and rebuild

What do you think I’m referring to when I say “our time will come again”? Of course we have to rebuild, and maybe that’s happening now.

my experience as an away fan

So come on then, which is the best? And don’t say Old Trafford, cause it ain’t.

everyones time will come if we wait long enough

No it won’t. Unfortunately many teams will forever be excluded from a run of continued success without a rich foreign benefactor and even that won’t sustain itself.

are anything other than a mid table club

You might be forgetting the minor matters of almost unparalleled footballing success and history, a huge loyal fanbase and the best atmosphere of any ground in the country. These aren’t the norm for “a mid table club” and our time will come again.

When you walk through a storm
Hold your head up high
And don’t be afraid of the dark

At the end of the storm
Is a golden sky
And the sweet silver song of the lark

I’m sure I can hear the faintest glimmers of birdsong…

Well they voted for King Cameron and Queen Clegg

That was fast – I ninja edited Clegg…

But my point was that people are easily deceived into tasteless putting of “x”s into boxes…

The people may well vote for the queen, but would they vote for King Charles & Queen Camilla, King William & Queen Kate

Well they voted for King Cameron and Queen Osborne, so their tastes are hardly impeccable…

a symbol of our state, a representative of our nation

…that’s precisely why we need to get rid of them. An unelected individual, born into privilege, should not be symbolic of our state and nation in the 21st century.

In the good old days when Wembley was known as Anfield South and we were there every year, we used to park at Harrow and a get a train into town. Dead handy off the M1.

to distract attention away from the real issues of economic power and privileges

That’s probably the salient point. The monarchy might be a horrible feudal itch that needs scratching, but, if we’re sharpening the guillotine to cleanse us of the unwanted, Liz would be near the back of a long queue headed, most probably, by Murdoch.

I’ve watched it just now and it turns out brakes is right…

Kim Jong Il?

LOL finding it difficult to make your point stick by any chance?

At least that one was short nonsense.

Anyway, you don’t need my points at all, you just decide what you want me to have said and argue hysterically with that anyway.

And this detracts from the point of the thread, so I’ll say no more, and let you have the last word. Don’t forget to pat yourself on the back afterwards.

Yeah, I was being sarcastic. I’m with you on the guillotine. Metaphorically, at least. Like a colleague of mine says, if you heard of a country where homeless people beg on the streets, but the ruler rides around in a gold coach, you’d think it was mediaeval. But here we are….

I’d rather not read what you’ve said anymore. You’re one of those infuriating people who use a lot of words but say nothing.

Come the revolution, the likes of you will be first against the wall. Or maybe second, after all them that drink cappuccinos with little biscuits and that.

I’m pretty sure that what I said was that if you ask me to pay you for something I have the right to an opinion on the item and the right not to buy it

You seem to be changing your argument as you go along. The point I made that you seemed to take a weirdly aggressive objection to, was that some artists/musicians/whatever would not advertise any old sh*te just for money. Lifer very aptly mentioned Fugazi who sell their records at reasonable prices and refuse to flog merchandise. There’s a huge difference between selling your records to make a living and prostituting yourself to any two-bit corporate marketeer. You might subscribe to that breadhead “every man has his price” tosh, but not all of us do.

And in response to this

may I suggest you shut the **** up and keep it to yourself

may I suggest that if you don’t want other people’s opinions, don’t spend your time looking on chat forums.

Has no-one seen “Hanna”? I was so irritated by it at the pictures, I nearly bought it on DVD just so I could smash it to pieces. What a load of sh…

Hmmm…Grade 2 listed building, with no existing central heating…I’d be cautious. It might require a lot more thought, work and expense than a lot of heating installations. The kit itself might be standard, but the pipe runs and reinstatement might be less straightforward. Might be worth having a chat with your local authority’s conservation officer.

3k is too low tbh.

I’d agree. I’d be tempted to double that for a quality system that complies fully with current regulations and includes all the builder’s works mentioned.

BB seriously what is the point of your post?

Ha ha! I was about to ask the same thing.

If you are one, may I suggest you shut the **** up and keep it to yourself. Failing that if you want others to look at/engage with your art accept comment good or bad. That’s what you have invited.

I have absolutely no idea what that paragraph means…

Seems BB expects the world to live by his/her own (unclear) low standards.

Never mind his considered, rational views, I’d make him PM for “The Saturday Boy” alone.

And I’d make you Deputy PM for that!
Anyone who comes close to tears every time they hear “St. Swithin’s Day” gets to be Chancellor of the Exchequer…

One or two anti-establishment songs don’t make you Billy Bragg.

Something to be grateful for, at least

To each his own, but I’d make Bragg Prime Minister. Not many people hold such considered, rational views as that man.

Not for me, force to take out of my days holiday allowance

Isn’t that illegal?

So, even you think the guy’s a p***k, what difference does that make? He’s not asking on his own behalf, he’s asking for a friend. If all’s as it seems, and we’ve no real reason to doubt that, whatever other bollocks he’s involved in, at least this once he seems to be doing something decent.
I don’t even understand that Vauxhall post, but it seems wholly unrelated to this thread.
