Some of you seem as excited about this Bash
As my nephew gets about Christmas.

When was the last time you were so excited you couldn't sleep?

Alt Q: What's for lunch?

I'm so glad that I no longer have to take the tube into work, especially given the rate at which Boris "Look what a lovable buffoon I am to cover up for what a devious cunt I really am" Johnson seems to hike the fares up.
(LongJohnBaldry, Thu 21 Oct 2010, 13:29, Reply)

There's fare hiking...
...there's also the sympathetic letter I received from my (Conservative!) MP about fare hiking under the Labour government.

And there's the prospect of a whopping 30% hike over four years. We've already got the most expensive trains in Europe, why not simply take those responsible for making trains so expensive outside and shooting them while instructing their newly promoted successors to cut costs.

That's what I'd do if I were in charge.

Another football-related post which has fuck all to do with the thread but isn't worth one of its own and requires a response from those of you I know will understand (ie Bobby, Jeff and disasterprone)
There's a poll on the Guardian website to find the all-time greatest XI and some hack has written a column suggesting a few names. I've re-read it twice and there's no mention of either Stuart Pearce or Bobby Moore, however Denis Irwin gets a mention. Could you fine gents please have a look and make sure I haven't gone blind/mental?
