Dropping a flounce-bomb all over Maxi's thread (sorry about that)
Right, you gorgeous bastards, I'm leaving the country for a couple of weeks today so I'm opening up the floor. Ask me anything. Tell me anything you like. Don't hold back, I'm dying to tell some of you my opinions in return.

Never in a million years would I do such a thing. Although I do have a habit of encountering MASSIVE DRUGS wherever I go in the world.

Because football is ballet for the common man
22 individuals at the peak of physical fitness performing unbelievable feats of agility and athleticism for 90 minutes, breathtaking drama, dropping a ball on a sixpence 50 yards away, weaving through a crowd of players with the ball at your feet. And occasionally lunging in two-footed at someone's knee.

Ah, but I watched the 1991 FA Cup Final in Amsterdam in preference to isiting the red light district.
So if you say that you've been invited to bizarre sex show, but have decided to watch the football instead then you'll probably score brownie points with Mrs Darth.
(, Tue 9 Nov 2010, 9:10, Reply)
I was at the 1991 FA Cup Final
Paul Gascoigne should have been sent off in the first minute for kicking Garry Parker in the FACE but wasn't even booked. A red card would have prevented him from horribly injuring himself when he tried to cut Gary Charles in half. Stuart Pearce scored one of the best FA Cup Final goals ever, Mark Crossley became only the second goalkeeper ever to save a penalty at Wembley, from Gary Lineker (the first, Dave Beasant, would later join Crossley on Forest's books) and then we went and fucking well lost in extra time when Des Walker, the best English centre-half since Bobby Moore, headed into his own fucking net.

Happy times
(, Tue 9 Nov 2010, 9:44, Reply)
Don't exagerate Darth. Gascoine only kicked Parker in the chest.
& Pearce's goal should have been disallowed due to pushing in the wall.
Plus winning by Walker's own goal was karma for having lost to Coventry in '87 due the admirable Gary Mabbutt's own goal.
And, Spurs had to win to allow them to complete a remarkable record of cup wins when the year ended in a 1.(20th century only)
(, Tue 9 Nov 2010, 9:57, Reply)
Oh yes, I feel much better now
A few points

a) a kick in the chest is still a red card offence unless you're Nigel de Jong, apparently
b) bollocks; also, pushing Spurs players is perfectly acceptable form on account of Spurs being cunts
c) Mabbutt's own goal was hilarious; Walker's was not
(, Tue 9 Nov 2010, 10:11, Reply)
Of course, both of Gascoine fouls should have been red cards. The ref (I think it was Roger Milford)
has admitted that he should have sent him off.

Wasn't Gary Charles sent to prison a little while back?

Listen, Darth, I'm going to ask you something.
It's currently quite hard out there on the streets of london, the homeless generally are those who are worst off in our society. They have to sleep rough, deal with all sorts of dangers. Female ones are known to be 'put to work', selling their bodies for change. There is a big assosation with addiction, voilance, prostertution, mental and phsyical illness. When you walk your 15 minutes from tube stop to work, the rain pouring down on you, the cold, so you zip up your jacket, keep your head down, and eventually you'll be sitting at your nice warm desk with a caramel mocachino from an international 'coffee experiance' enterprise. Imagine if that 15 minutes was a 30 minute walk, an hour, a few hours, an evening, a night, a few nights, a few weeks, just for a month, maybe a couple of months, then year on year without respite. Scavaging through left overs in the vain hope to have something that every other animal on the planet manages to have. Even bats, rats and moles have shelter from the harsh enviroment.

Now, when walking home from work and you've got a spare half price sandwich from Tescos that you figure you'll have when you get home but come home and decided to get a pizza and bin the sandwich, think of the starving hungry person on the street who's trying to do what he can, to survive. Not in a 2Pac or ru'boi sense of the word, but in a genuine might-not-make-it-tonight way. Go hand them over your sandwich, you're only eating for the sake of eating anyway.

So, I ask you, what can a dude like me to get chicks to totally dig me big stylee?
