Culture Cup 2.0 round 5

by Mind the windows Tino. Thu 04 Jun 2015, 3:12 pm

First topic message reminder :

Round 4 of the Culture Cup 2.0 comes to an end and thank the heavens for that. As is standard for 2.0, there were some beauties and some utter sh*te picked in this round. The big winner was The Boss who (after he had put down his Niall Quinn autobiography and chosen his film) picked up maximum points for One Flew Over The Cuckoos Nest. It’s a quality film so no complaints from me. Trebs scooped up a healthy 8 points for Silence Of The Lambs which is also a tremendous film so again, no complaints here. Michaels got a lovely present of 8 points for his pick of Forrest Gump. That’s right folks, Forrest f*cking Gump. C&R also claimed 8 points with The Godfather. GrumpyG*lfer picked up 6 points for To Kill A Mockingbird which I also voted for. Cracking film. Weeman also picked up 6 points for Raging Bull. So Forrest f*cking Gump is better than Raging Bull and To Kill A Mockingbird. Forrest f*cking Gump.

Lots of posters managed to score a big fat headed zero, including Jeff for On The Waterfront and his arch rival ~~Nicola Sturgeon~~ superfly who, although he did get one vote, won’t be picking up any points as he failed to understand a very simple question and his pick of Lawrence Of Arabia fell outside the criteria. Jules will be disappointed to pick up some points for Annie Hall, but Galted will be devastated that no votes appeared for Amadeus. He saw Rupert Grint once. In a play. L*l. He also saw Laura Dern in a film. Double l*l out loud. Galted is a really funny guy. Dresses like a utter spazz but doesn’t let that hold him back in life. A solid 4 points for Hero keeps our resident champ at the top of the league but he can feel the hot breath of a few men down his neck now. He’ll enjoy that, no doubt. The only points Stella has managed to accrue have come from a book I picked for him. Perhaps the biggest surprise was Union Cane who picked up zero votes for his first choice of The Iron Lady.

Here is the updated league table:

1) Hero 30 pts
2) Paul 24 pts
3) Trebs 24 pts
4) C&R 20 pts
5) The Boss 19 pts
6) Harrier 16 pts
7) Ziggler 16 pts
8) Michaels 16 pts (will be deducted 2 points at the end of the tournament for being a pr*ck)
9) Fat head Adam 15 pts
10) GrumpyG*lfer 14 pts
11) Azzy 11 pts
12) Nakatomi 11 pts
13) weeman 11 pts
14) SerialDAVE 9 pts
15) Jeff 8 pts
16) Shah Abu-bakr 7 pts
17) Beadle 6 pts
18) Jules 5 pts
19) superfly 4 pts
20) Union Cane 3 pts
21) Dagless 3 pts
22) Stella 2 pts
23) Ray Mears big fat zero pts

Round 5 is back to music so please see the poll for THE BEST EVER DEBUT ALBUM.

Remember, IT’S OPEN FOR ALL OF 606v2 TO VOTE.

Thanks.

I have PM’d SerialDAVE and told him that Womble called SLAYER a bunch of gayers.

That should do it.

Not too sure you'll have any joy doing that, just seen a headline on the BBC "Murder arrest over torso in suitcase".
Reports of my arrest have been great exaggerated (a cultural reference there for you c*nts). As for Womble, his f*cking card was marked as soon as he said that bollox about "Definitely Maybe" ...all the rest is just icing on the cake as far as his entrails being used as bunting.

A Genital Grinder would come in handy right now Dave.

Maybe round 6 will be my round.

I get so excited when I think about my first vote. I've been practising my reactions in the mirror, so far I'm leaning towards a "YEEESSSSSSS!!!!!" followed by a burst of fist-pumping.

A bit of Meat Hook Sodomy might be a better option then Dave and if that fails there's always a simple hammer to the face.

Tim Henman style? You can do better.

That said, it's probably an appropriate choice, given the likelihood of your making a late surge only to fall flat on your face with the end in site. I'm almost inclined to describe you as plucky.

Voting is now closed.

Could someone in green please close the poll as I don't appear to have the means to do so?

The next round is the last 'Books' theme as we creep towards the final, double point extravaganza round.

The question is - WHAT IS THE BEST SPORT THEMED BOOK EVER?

Now it can be fact, fiction, autobiographical, whatever you what. So long as the theme is undeniably sports related, it will fit the criteria.

Please can you send a few in as normal.

Thanks.

I've closed the poll.
Is the next round called the Graham Poll?

Given how voting has gone in previous rounds I reckon some Danny Dyer fronted book about some facking firm sorting out some other facking firm will romp home.

You slaaaag.

Mine are stuck in the outbox. You'll be amazed to see they are not all boxing as well. Also before Adam says it, no I have not picked No Ordinary Joe

by **superflyweight** Tue 09 Jun 2015, 9:25 am

When you say sport themed can it include books which aren't necessarily about sport but which have people who play sport or watch sport in them?

I'm thinking the Swede in American Pastoral or Rabbit in Rabbit Run? Tom Buchanan in the Great Gatsby is keen on polo and I'm sure there's a bit in A Dance to the Music of Time where Jenkins talks about being taken to a football match in his youth?

Can we be creative? It doesn't matter, I won't get any votes anyway.

No, the main thrust of the book has to be sport themed. Don't be a knob, superfly.

They must be pretty small files so I doubt they took up much room.

I cant wait for Hero to come on and nominate Bret Harts book claiming that wrestling is a sport. Can Tino clarify it for him? He met Bret on his birthday, dont you know.

Wrestling should not count. As the results are pre determined it is not a sport.

by Mind the windows Tino. Tue 09 Jun 2015, 10:08 am

WRASSLIN is a difficult one.

It's obviously not a real sport, but they are more athletic specimens than g*lfers, arrow throwers etc etc.

Didn't think of that.

I think I might allow it just to annoy Jeff.

This was, of course, a joke. WRASSLIN is most certainly not allowed.

Not on my watch anyway.

It's called sports entertainment for a reason. If you guys are saying it's not a sport, then it must be real fighting, right?
