Why would the fact you're a moron upset me?

As an aside though another Move song, Flowers in the Rain was the first song ever played on Radio One.

That could and should have been posted on me remarkably unpopular Music anecdotes thread....

Sean, if the thread had been called useless music trivia it almost certainly would have been. I have any number of such facts I could amaze you good people with.

Hit me.

Happily, the first Spice Girls Single not to go to Number 1 was Stop, it was kept off top spot by Run DMC vs Jason Nevins - It's Like That.

I thought it was Galted's best ever lunch review.  Full of passion and extremely informative.  If that meal only scored 80%, I wonder what he would  would have to eat to improve on it.

Genuinely good journalism. A career on QVC surely awaits

Quite weighty so the purchaser knows, immediately, that he's getting his money worth quantity-wise.

Winona Ryder's fanny.

Bad luck.

Thanks, michaels, that's a very kind observation. I have to admit though that the burrito pretty much writes its own review.

Would it have provoked the requisite "Pompous" response from the Rugger board though?

I will post it on the thread suggested by michaels after I've removed the reference to c0ck. I think that it will be ignored.

Used to play a bit of rugby but gave it up when I went to Uni. Could never get my head around the whole initiation / pooing in pints thing. I recollect a time when one of the rugby guys had toilet roll stuffed up his bum and then a length left out which sort of acted as a 'fuse'. The aim for the poor chap was to run down to the vending machine on the floor below, buy a twix and get back to the bar before the fuse reached his toilet roll stuffed ring. Bizarre scenes when I look back at it.

Similar stories myself about the Uni Rugby team Sean, each to their own I guess... Lots of nakedness together and singing about getting laid whilst everyone else was out getting laid

This should be an interesting (i use this word with poetic licence) social media experiment Galted...

Seems so although don't be impatient. They are probably taping up their fingers and heads in preparation for a proper rugger response.

Realise having thread back through the thread a bit you are all concerned about how my London adventure has gone. Thus far everything has gone swimmingly. Did not get lost on the big underground train thingy, have not had to ask for directions once, and thus far have not met top hat. Did see a really fat bloke on the underground train so I got off and waited for the next one, you really can’t be too careful.

Still have to make it back home though so don’t want to get too cocky just yet.

Why don't you take in St Pancras on your way. Lovely building by all accounts.

Actually, I think it is King's Cross that has been re-done? Sure I went to France from St Pancras and it wasn't that good.

Have little choice Sean, train leaves from there.

Has anyone mentioned that you're on their 'manor' yet, or that they are 'light on their trotters'? Has anyone threatened to 'mug you off' or 'smack you in your faackin cakehole'?

Had a response from a poster named Pete.

No but our office is very near Bermondsey which I believe is the kind of place one could encounter such salt of the earth, apples and pears types. May have to leave early and investigate.

Think Baker Street underground station is my favourite

Cracking stuff - has genuinely brought a beaming smile to my face. Should become a feature.

pompous Pete?

Russell Square is my favourite. I met Danny Williams there once.

It wasn't arranged, I just bumped into him.

I like Waterloo. In fact if you get a train from mine to Waterloo, you can pretty much do London (Big Ben, Battersea Powerstation, Shard, London Eye) without getting off it and with benefit of going straight home.

Hard guy to miss Tino, and judging by his fights, not light on his feet, so i guess lots of people bumped into him that day.

we should get a sporting anecdote thread to go along with Sean's popular Music anecdote thread...

This would start it nicely i feel.

And with minimal risk of being called a Slaaaaaggg, or 'aving it at any point, so i can see your point.

It was shortly after the Mark Potter fight and his arm was still in a sling. Very nice chap.

I like St Pancras, because 50% of the times I am there I am leaving London.

A few of the lads on the boxing board have only had nice things to say about him also Tino

Ah yes, the boxing board. I used to post on there once.

You really should show your face a bit more Tna. There is an interesting thread at the minute that looks like it will develop into an interesting discussion on Joe Louis' relative merits.

Me too, until it got repetitve and argumentative, now i only go back on for the fight debates

Came to V2 for the Boxing, stayed for the culture

I know. I will.

Oh, you culture kids! What larks you have!

A stranger! Everybody hide.

A stranger I can't ban either, try and be nice.

Now now, Galted. That's no way to welcome people is it?

Hello Notch.

Rowley wrote:A stranger I can't ban either, try and be nice.

You can't ban anybody.

Don't get all gobby just because you've been in the big city.

The temptation to prove you wrong is very difficult to resist.

You would miss me, Jeff.

Hello gentlemen. I come in piece from the rugby section. I have come here to thank Galted for his excellent burrito review. 'Twas truly a thing of beauty- truly the meal sounded as mouth watering a prospect as the first weekend of the Six Nations, or perhaps the first weekend after the end of the Six Nations depending on your perspective.

We're all happy that you decided to share that with us, and I will be sure to investigate Wrap-It-Up if I find myself in London. I would also like to say I am available to volunteer information on where fine burritos of equal quality can be found in Belfast should you ever require it.

Toodle pip lads   

Galted's burrito review was indeed top Notch

 

Moribund on here today.

I was just going to say that, though instead of "moribund" I was going to say "sh1t".

I had to google 'moribund' just to make sure I correctly understood what it meant.  I am happy with it though.

Do you think Jeff got p*ssed off with the mechanical snakes on the way home and ditched the train for a horse and cart?  I think he has just made it north of Birmingham.

Feeling positive today.

"Moribund" was an excellent choice, the rest of us will really need to up our games to compete with that.

I think he's been trying to cross a road to get to the station since yesterday afternoon but keeps getting driven back by the confusion of lights and sounds.

That was quite poignant. I hope you have a terrific day.

Thank you.

I think I may start a fitness drive. I have quite an addictive personality and apparently training can be addictive.......

Its the year of the horse in the Chinese zodiac, seany. It is meant to bring a year of personal improvement so your timing couldn't be better.

Not that I believe in all that b*llocks but you could use it to inspire you?

Talking of China, where the heck has Ill Gia gone? He is my favourite poster and he has disappeared.

That's upset me. I feel quite moribund now.

I exercise 3 or 4 times a week, used to be more but I broke my rowing machine in December. Regular intensive exercise allows one to eat or drink more and have a less embarrassing body.

You're in the top 10, Julius. Room for improvement.
