Just been discussing a vinyl only DJing thing with a mate
Should we call it Hot Wax or Earwig?
(, Tue 7 Dec 2010, 23:50, 3 replies, latest was 15 years ago)
My mate was in a band called Earwig.

Not really.
I think Christmas and my impending 40th may need to be cancelled.
(, Wed 8 Dec 2010, 0:02, Reply)
Because you hate the idea of getting to 40 and Christmas is FUCKING BENT?
Or because it is just far too expensive a time of year?

Nah,
the missus got scammed to the tune of £75. This on top of forking out £170 to get the heating fixed does not make me a happy bunny. I'm even thinking about selling my Doctor Who videos...

Ouch
How did the Doris get scammed?

Ordered something on a low cost trial
cancelled it then they took £75 anyway. Bank says because she gave our details, although they will send a cancellation order it could take 30 days to kick in, during which time they thieving bastards can remove £75 from our account any time they fucking well please because of the small print. We have cancelled the card but this is no guarantee they still won't be able to take money.

I am fucking livid.

Fuckers.
Amazon caught me out with their delivery service 'offer' a while ago, that was cash I didn't need to spend.

Amazon Prime?
Yep, been shafted with that, too...
(, Wed 8 Dec 2010, 0:20, Reply)
Yeah.
I got the money back, only because I checked the statement before I'd ordered anything else.

But it was far from clear. That annoys me.
(, Wed 8 Dec 2010, 0:23, Reply)
How did you manage that?
I don't think she's ordered anything from Amazon since the money came off, so if we can get the £45 back it would be a small but useful help.

Why Past Times?
We wouldn't be discussing your youth swipe.

Swipe's youth disappeared a long time ago.
Granted, not as long ago as mine, but...

Would you prefer "hen"?

I thought your people took a more generic animal stance and called them all 'pet'?

A borders backwater. Any female is automatically "hen". "Pet" is slightly more endearing.

That was distressing enough.

So where is the smart money going for NUFC new boss? Jol?

Pardew, apparently.
For fuck's sake. Because he's really got a Premiership pedigree...

I wouldn't worry too much
Granted, I think that Houghton was treated badly, and I have no sympathy with the board if they get the next appointment wrong, but my lot (including me) were over the moon with the appointment of Steve Cop-out, that hardly worked out well. He spent a couple of mil of the Chairmans money and then decided the job wasn't for him and fucked off.

I can't help but wonder if they'll reflect on this sacking with regret.
(, Wed 8 Dec 2010, 0:44, Reply)
Probably.
Mike Ashley may be a successful businessman, but when it comes to running a football club he's a clueless cunt. Most supporters were starting to think that perhaps his long term plan wasn't totally cockheaded at all; spend low, invest young, get the debt down... it seemed to be working. All we wanted was stability and to stay up and that would have happened if Hughton had been kept on. Instead we're back to square one, a new manager is going to want to ring changes and there are rumours that Ashley will sell of Carroll in January for mega bucks and that's why Hughton was sacked, because he would oppose any deal to sell him.

I may go back to supporting Berwick Rangers; at least the disappointment is never tinged with optimism.
(, Wed 8 Dec 2010, 1:00, Reply)
it does seem like the ideal choice for your new manager
would be Chris Hughton...

He ticks all the boxes, anyway.
(, Wed 8 Dec 2010, 1:09, Reply)
Yep.
Player support, not banging on the board's door for money, decent track record in signings, getting results (a 55% win ratio altogether), fan support, media and other manager's respect... yeah, you can see why he was fired, can't you?

Grrrr. I'm going to bed.
