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.

Only joking Tina, I even checked I had not banned you as part of the search party we did in your absence.

Well actually, I was suffering much anguish myself.  Me a couple of mates went over to gay Paree to have our hopes and dreams dashed in the sporting arena.  We cried, then we cheered and then cried again as our brave sporting hero's left the French battle field bloodied but unbowed.

Stayed on for Monday and came home yesterday.  Had a good time apart from the result.

I did go with a scouser and a Yorkshireman though so spent half my time stopping one from stealing and the other time trying to prize the Yorkshireman's wallet open.

Who are you?

That isn't great is it. I have spent the best part of 3 days drinking though. I am not michaels, it takes me a while to get over these things.

I saw that. It almost made me smile.

You wouldn't ban me, Jeff. I'm like the brother you always wished you had.

Which reminds me. At the B&B thing I went to they had a good breakfast set up with ceraels, fruit etc and a kitchen menu (eggs benedict, full english etc). However, it was the jug of tomato juice, tobasco sauce and bottle of vodka that caught my eye. Class touch.

Ok then. I'm still a little bit disappointed in you.

I will try and make it up to you with post after post of wit, intelligence and perfect grammar.

Perfect grammar will do. I was on the verge of posting messages on the rugby threads regarding your whereabouts, quite coincidental that your absence was rugby-related (some people would say too coincidental but they're just conspiracy theorists).

I suspect we're more likely to see the first round of the music cup first.......

I am refusing to go back on that board until that Welsh chap offers me a full and unreserved apology.

I'd suggest going on Welsh match threads and typing out "lol, Wales are rubbish" every time they f*ck up. The amount of bile should be spectacular. I would do it myself but I've developed some close Irish mates on the rugby boards and it might reflect badly on them.

Hi Shah. What a lovely welcome.

Just one thing, I have way more than £700,000 left. How very dare you.

Very true, would barely cover a weekends worth of cocaine, ludes and hookers for Tina.

I wanted to create an atmosphere of abject misery, instead rowley was indifferent, galted masturbated, julius exfoliated, superflyweight posted but i couldnt understand the accent, tophat mocked you and labelled you a scrounger and lumbering jack looked at his £700 suit and signed on. All in all, business as usual.

Rowley only pretended to be indifferent though. He was churning up inside.

And michaels went on a 3-day bender. Don't forget michaels.

Is short for Quaalude Tina, was a painkiller. I believe that people worked out if you took when you were awake rather than before you went to bed, as you were meant to, it got you off your head. As if you did not know.

We could have done with michaels coming with us actually. His missus is a cheese eating surrender monkey so he could have translated stuff for us.

I will have to be content with being in his dreams.

Learnt that a few years back. Rousing. Good atmosphere? Sounded like it was.

Do have a soft spot for French rugby so wasn't overly disappointed with the result.

Amazing atmosphere. I have been to that Welsh stadium before and nothing compares to the atmosphere there, but Paris for Le Crunch was fantastic.

Heartbreaking end but a great game. Aside from a couple of random bounces of the ball early on, England were the better team and should have won.

Poor bench from Lancaster though. Farrell could barely run at the end and with no fly-half cover, we ended up with a 12/13 on the wing and 10 who couldn't shift over. Barritt should either start the game or not be in the squad at all. Not the right kind of player to come off the bench.

I don't know much French. Presumably the last two are "Everyone retreat" and "We give up".

I think the second line roughly translates as "Hoh he hoh. Pass me the Smints".

I like Goode and would love him to play more at 10 (I think he was the 'cover') but he's also Farrell's club team mate. Taking Care off was village, and Lawe's enforced departure was crucial.

I would highly recommend a weekend away to watch Toulon at Stade Mayol. Smallish tight stadium officially holding 15k but more like 20k come kick off. Atmosphere is the best I've experienced in any sport. Get to the town centre where the ground is early in the day. Get some food in, get leathered, and go enjoy the Pilou Pilou. Really is something else.

I've googled it

We're all up in arms
Form the battalions
March, march to a small Vietnamese village
No, don't be silly

It is basically a call to arms of those with impure blood. Then to water their furrows for some reason....

I like Goode as a player, and he can cover FH but he didn't get the chance. With May going off after 5 minutes, Brown goes to wing, Goode to full-back and then straight away you're relying on Farrell to make it through the whole game unscathed. I know you can't legislate for an injury that early on, but the balance of the replacement backs wasn't right. Barritt is Lancasters blue eyed boy and he wants to shoehorn him in the squad however possible.

Yep, I would love to go to Toulon. I will do one day.

Sorry Stuart. It's just my opinion.

Have we been assimilated by the Rugby board?

I guess it was kind of inevitable since burritogate...

Never thought I would say it Rick but preferred it when we used to discuss insects.

Those were halcion days Jeff, I guess you never really miss a scolopendra discusssion until it has gone.

Though maybe we should be wary for what we wish here...

You're a Man of the North yet you watch wendyball and don't like a mans game like rugby.

First its a m*n-bag, then Radox and now this.

What is the matter with you.

As a Man of the North it should be Rugby League or nowt, none of this mournful wishing of visitations to the Garlic Munching Nazi Collaborators...

I like Rugby League Tina, as do all proper northerners.

So do I. You've redeemed yourself a little bit.

My love of union comes from having a Jock as a father. They used to be OK at it once.

Do say it every year but intend to make a more conscious effort to watch more Super League this year. Difficult because whilst TSMR is a woman of almost infinite patience she has a tipping point and suspect league on a Friday night is that point.

Premier League Darts on a Thursday night followed by Super League on a Friday and then more rugby/boxing/cricket at the weekend.

I am the man in my house, Jeff.

Sadly no, you live in a tough household tino, your wife left scratches on my back, your cleaner left teeth marks on my man sausage and your son was building a guillotine when i leaped out your bedroom window and ran home naked. Your emasculation is entirely understandable as was your visit to the country where they already know they have been beaten.
