I know it doesn't get mentioned on here often (and for good reason), but, after a shaky first half, Liverpool were
awesome tonight.
I am very drunk as a result.
COME OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON!
I was working, but in a pub where they were showing the game.
And a very good game it was.
Although it should have been Chelsea...
I did actually see some of this football match. It was quite exciting. Bless that skillful goalkeeper.
I did my best to see it but was backing up from State of Origin rugby league match the night before ;l Tried to get to a pub to watch but woke up at about midday with the keys in the ignition and still in the garage. Sounds like it was a great game. The FA Cup was solid too, glory for Arsenal!
Bless that skillful goalkeeper
But he was jumping around all over the place before the ball was kicked. That's not allowed. FIFA should enforce the law strictly and all penalties should be retaken whenever that happens.
The game needs to move back in a direction that gives goalkeepers a chance. They've been gradually destroying any advantage a goalkeeper may have over the past thirty years. No passing back to the keeper, no holding it for more than 6 seconds, 4 steps etc. The goal is HUGE, good players should never miss. The odds are stacked highly against keepers and you want to stop them bouncing around in a penalty situation where about 1/10 are saved. Cruel bastard.
Indeed. And damn proud of it too.
All I'm saying is that
until they change the rule, they should apply it
rigidly.
However, I am against using penalties to decide the outcome of drawn matches. They should replay, like they did in the good old days, until one team wins within the allotted time.
Then again, I don't really like footy all that much anyway.
Are you sure it isn't allowed?
No.
But it didn't used to be. Maybe they have different rules in Europe. Do the French have anything to do with it?
Wait, i just googled it ...
Rule 14 says "The defending goalkeeper remains on his goal line, facing the kicker, between the goalposts until the ball has been kicked."
Even if that doesn't preclude movement as long as he stays on the line, in this case the guy was a yard out before the ball was kicked on the first one he saved.
They have something to do with Europe, so I've heard.
That was cool, his jumping up and down.
Steve Gerrard Gerrard
He likes it from fourty yards
He's tall and he's fuckin' hard
Steve Gerrard Gerrard
Actually, if he wants to, he can moonwalk right across the goal if he likes, as long as he stays ON the line, Dudek was leaping forwards like Jonathon Edwards.
And fair play to him.
He likes it from fourty yards
Ha, ha, ha, ha ......
fourty yards. Nice try, Tom, but you're still learning the hard way.

Actually, tis the US spelling, innit...

Great game. Thought they'd had it at half-time. One hell of a fight back. Brilliant! :D

"Actually, tis the US spelling, innit..."
Cos that makes EVERYTHING alright. Cunt.
And I think that you will find that 'US', in this and many other contexts, is just shorthand for 'wrong'.
Brock...
Can I just say "you're wrong" without having to prove it?
What you got against American's anyway?
(Remember there's more of them than there are of you.)
I know what he'd like to get against Ms Entropy (an American).
Very good. Took a few seconds for the penny to drop on that one. ;0)

Perc: They fuck up the English language, and spread it throughout the world and try to force it to be prevalent among English speakers through their intense arrogance. This makes me, and others that can speak properly, more than a tad annoyed. The fact that they try to spread such things as "color" "nite" "fetus" and other howlers as correct by sheer force of numbers of 'bad' usage is not good enough. Particularly when it is starting to reduce the level of correct English here.
"Ah, but wait. We decide it's right by calling it
american English"
No. It's just English spelt badly. Fuckers. I don't care HOW many of them there are.

I had a row with a few people a while back about it... :)
Surely you mean, 'a ways back.'
Hello! Its all changed round here then! I had to create another log in! How has everyone been? I'm assuming you're all the same people....
;)
"sewing kit" : fucking BRILLIANT jeff
brock- interestingly, quite a lot of american spellings are actually MORE correct than modern english. eg, the "-ize" ending, and "aluminum" instead of (IMHO) the much better sounding aluminium.
having said that, i prefer the modern english version because dammit that's what *I* learned first!
Oh, Ok! Ignore me then you lot!
:P
Hey Rosie, nice to see you again. Thought you had vanished.
I'm back - but only for the day! I'm temping at a receptionist job and its totally dead here, so I'm keeping myself amused. I've been on your site Chay. I can't believe you're still with Reddy! How long it that now? Must be a couple of years...?
What Brock said ^
Hey Rosie, my little cherry and tabasco flavoured lollipop!
HALLA Vic!
Hope you are well. Its strange here - I mean its nice but not quite as busy as the old place. I can't read anyones profile. Is it all new?
Does anyone know Novs email?
It is bit spooky round here.
Don't know nov's email but
she's coming soon.
shes been "coming" for about four years if that page is anything to go by.
(lucky devil)
"I can't believe you're still with Reddy! How long it that now? Must be a couple of years...?"
Oh ye of little faith! It was 2 years on Tuesday. :)
heeeey rosie !
how are you ?
great you showed up :)
I have a msn contact (email) for nov as
novembereclectica@hotmail.com
no idea if it is still active
Congrats to you both! Do you live with each other now? Wow - I can't believe your still together! Thats so good! Are you engaged yet?
Miki! Yay! How are you? Are you still going out with Steve?
Emma is hoping to move in very soon. I have a flat in Manchester now. She has a set of keys, and is over most weekends. In fact she is over for a week from today, and we are going away for a few days.
You 2 are so sweet! Does she still have her site? Can you give me the address? How come you live in manchester? I thought it was meant to be grotty there? I think I went there once - they have them tram things in the road and everything was grey and covered in sh*t.
yes, Rosie, I am grey and covered in shit because I have lived in Manchester all my life ... so far.
Anyroadup, nice to see you again, I was wondering if you'd reappear some time.
Manchester is actually quite nice. have a look at some of Alfie's pics in flickr and you'll see that we have now started living in colour.
Yep I'm still going out with steve :D
he moved to holland, wednesday june 1st we will have lived together for 1 year :)
steve made a website for us

emma's website is

Manchester is lovely.
It's a beautiful sunny day today too.
I live in Didsbury which is one of the posher bits. It's got trees and everything. A very quiet place to live and only a few minutes drive from work. :)

Hello ellipse! Hows it hanging?
Thanks Miki - I'm going over there for a mooch around. (when are you two getting married then? and can I come?!)
"Two years ago today Chay and I met for the first time after having met on the internet some months before. We had a lovely weekend getting to know each other (including a trip to the cinema to see the Matrix) and have stayed together ever since. I love you so much Chay (everyone stop vomiting)."
HOW SWEET IS THAT???!!!
:D
Manchester has millions of trees. From my vantage point on the 11th floor in Piccadilly I can look out and see that we're surrounded on all sides by a sea of green. You can't really appreciate it from street level.
They may have millions of trees, but that doesn't make up for the fact they all talk funny.
(no wedding planned yet but when it happens anyone who wants to come is welcome)
anyone? That's a little dangerous!
Yeah, that includes you Vic, you farmer.
(joke!)♥
I'd rather have strangers that WANT to come to our wedding then family members who are only there as an obligation.
still, disclaimer and all that ...
As Rosie is back, maybe vic could write her one of his famous love poems ?
Hang on, let me fetch my spanish guitar.
i am so totally there
but only if you invite some toy boys
I am totally there too...
But only if you invite some toy boys.
that is like totallly total grim
'ere - cal must be raking it in if he's doing workshops and that! He's a clever fella. I wonder if he's a millionaire yet?!
i hear that company he works for got sold for one hundred million dollars
I think it was one BILLION dollars.
Poem's on the way, craftsmanship takes time you know.
It's a shame that Liverpool won - the scumbags.
Hello again everyone - when did the site come back, has Sul been heard from at all?
BTW. I live in London again now. No more gay northern towns for me.
Ha Ha. Hope warhead doesn't see that comment jlittle. That little grey funny talking sh*t will be cross with you!
(warhead: ;) )
hey james
yeh sul has been around, but not much
So how are you Rosie? What ever happened to that knob end of a boyfiend that you had who used to do fuck all?
The tables have turned! Hes got a full time job and earns double what I used to. I only work part-time now! Its great. I potter about doing the gardening and go out to lunch with my sisters and stuff! We've got a decent place now with two bedrooms and a big garden. Also, I'm pregnant and the babys due in November. I'm really happy for the first time in years!
Hows your family james?
Wow - that's fantastic Rosie - congratulations!
The family is great thank you - we now have two children, the second was born on the 13th May (2 weeks ago today infact - at this exact moment two weeks ago Lindsey would of just had her epidural and there would of been a lot less screaming than a few hours before hand!), named Jacob.
Do you know if you are having a boy or a girl? Where in London are you now living? I'm really excited for you now - what fantastic news. Congrats again.
great news rosie!
congratulations on the baby and all the other good news :)
james also congratulations on your second boy :D

Congrats on your autyness.
All these babies!
We don't know yet, but we're going to find out. I've got a funny feeling its a boy. Went for my first scan the other week and it was the most amazing thing in the world. Its kinda strange to think theres someone growing inside me - it freaks me out sometimes. my fella is being so lovely now. Hes stopped drinking and everything! I will have been with him 7 years come july. we are getting married as soon as i stop being fat and sweaty!
Congrats for your second baby james! :)
and for you aunty miki! :)
just read that last post back. "Hes stopped drinking and everything" sounds so trashy - like I'm on f*cking Trisha or something! :(
naah I've seen trisha, she has weird hair
Congrats, Rosie.
And I'm not little, James is.
I'm going home in a while - so take care everyone!
XXXXXX
