[quote user="Shack Attack"][quote user="Beauseant"] Strange also that those who have railed against the joke thread turned a blind eye to some extremely offensive comments about wheelchair users by one of their own number last week. The problem with trying to claim the moral high ground is that you then have to live up to your principles instead of simply broadcasting them.[/quote] Beau I want to clear a couple of points up here and then I''m going to leave you to swap your jokes. 1) I am not ''trying to claim the moral high ground''. If you''ve paid attention to some of my previous posts you would see that morality isn''t really my thing! I have never been particularly offended by any of the jokes left on this thread and I have never ''railed against the joke thread'' or complained to Pete about it''s content. 2) If I were to start a thread in this forum entitled ''Exciting developments in the Slovenian Premier League'' or ''What''s your favourite cheese?'' it would be moved to Other Football or It''s Not Just Football. And rightly so. That was the point I was trying to make in my original post today. 3) The thing about freedom of speech is that whilst it allows people to say what they want, within the confines of the law, it also allows others to complain if they find what is said offensive. Replying to such complaints with ''it''s only a joke'' or ''if you don''t like it don''t read the joke thread'' isn''t good enough in my opinion. Again I must point out that I have never made a complaint about the content of any of the jokes posted as you seem to be insinuating. 4) I didn''t see the offensive joke that you mention from last week and I don''t know who posted it. Let me know what it was and I''ll tell you whether I find it offensive. Which posters are in my ''own number''? I like offensive humour and have posted stuff myself in the past that probably crosses the line of what some people would deem acceptable so I doubt I''ll be that bothered by it. 5) I''d be perfectly happy to scrap all of the sub-forums and have one big one where we could discuss whatever we want. But until that happens Pete''s decision to allow this thread to remain in this forum but remove anything else he considers OT smacks of favouritism. Cheers. Shack. [/quote] Binner. ;)

I have just been on sickipedia and realised that my funny friend is not as original as I once thought!

Lovely stuff lord Horn!!! Amusing, a little bit of satire and a nice bit of casual racism. That is the first one from this thread I have seen fit to forward on!

She is a legend, no doubt about it. That said her seafood risotto was god awful.

I can''t see an end. I have no control and I don''t think there''s any escape - I don''t even have a home anymore. Definitely time for a new keyboard.

My mate just gave me a really old sewing machine, To be honest it seams ok

I booked an Asian prostitute last night, but she arrived two hours late.... She loved me wrong time.

Would be great, but don''t think I will be betting my mortgage on that one!

Think Doc, Rusty, Hoolahan and Holt are the 4 most able to make the step up to a mid-table/potential play off champ side. Martin, macnamee and a few others have a lot of potential but are by no means sure things. To my mind, we need 4 or 5 players but need to make sure we keep the core from this season and give Nelson, martin et al a chance to prove they can make the grade before replacing them.

Need to confirm the Forster situation if we can as he has been huge for us. If Newcastle want to keep him, will Rudd be ready? Still not convinced by Rose and Drury is not likely to last a whole season. Would like another option at CB as well. From there, think a good CM is going to be important if we aim to play the diamond in the league above. I think a lot of the team are unproven at champ level, but think they all deserve a chance next season to remedy this.

Good question Salopian. I think C Martin has finally delivered on the potential he showed 2 or 3 years ago. Great to see he has signed a new contract, could see him being the next big thing to leave NCFC for a derisory sum otherwise!

Would be great to get AD back for the run in, has been sorely missed. OTJ at CB could be very interesting. He certainly has the physique for the position.

No.

I have seen that clip used with a few different subtitle sets now, but think that takes the biscuit. I was kind of hoping pompey would get wound up as think this admin will change nothing in the long run and serve as no real example as to the problems with the way clubs are being run.

There are still too many games to go and too many variables to inspire confidence in me. We have seen how much players like Russell and Holt are missed when out for a few games and think a serious injury to a big player could still change everything. Despite your analysis I am not confident that we could lose Wes or Holt or Russell for the season and replace them without missing a beat.

Works??? Is it a spell??? Read recently that the Haka used by NZ rugby etc actually has a better effect motivating the opposition than the NZ players for whom it is the norm. We need to be careful with these lyrically powerful songs as run the risk of hurting the very players we are trying to support.

Some people are just stuck in the past imo! Most of my songs end up with a chorus of On my own, on my own, on my own!

I reckon £250k but think they might actually put something in like promotion clauses so if he gets us to the Prem in 3 years they get the same again.

I stand corrected ROBFLECK, think that has the potential to replace OTBC!

How many of these posts get started when a new player joins or starts playing well? I have never heard one of the songs at a game so think mine has as good a chance as any other! Not sure how to get the lyrics to work, was thinking about inserting Macnamee into a Wings song but this was quicker!

The rifle range is a decent boozer near the ground. Not going on Sat myself but have had many a cold after sitting in the drizzle up there! The locals are friendly enough though. I actually think they have enough about them to cause us a few problems, should be a good game.

To the tune of birds of a feather. The sirens are screaming and the fires are howling Way down in the valley tonight There''s a man in the shadows with a gun in his eye And a blade shining oh so bright There''s evil in the air and there''s thunder in the sky And a killer''s on the bloodshot streets Oh and down in the tunnel where the deadly are rising Oh I swear I saw a young boy Down in the gutter He was starting to foam in the heat Oh Baby, you''re the only thing in this whole world That''s pure and good and right And wherever you are and wherever you go There''s always gonna be some light But I gotta get out I gotta break it out now Before the final crack of dawn So we gotta make the most of our one night together When it''s over you know We''ll both be so alone Like a bat out of hell I''ll be gone when the morning comes When the night is over Like a bat out of hell I''ll be gone gone gone Like a bat out of hell I''ll be gone when the morning comes But when the day is done And the sun goes down And moonlight''s shining through Then like a sinner before the gates of heaven I''ll come crawling on back to you I''m gonna hit the highway like a battering ram On a silver black phantom bike When the metal is hot and the engine is hungry And we''re all about to see the light Nothing ever grows in this rotting old hole Everything is stunted and lost And nothing really rocks And nothing really rolls And nothing''s ever worth the cost And I know that I''m damned if I never get out And maybe I''m damned if I do But with every other beat I got left in my heart You know I''d rather be damned with you Well, If I gotta be damned you know I wanna be damned Dancing through the night with you If I gotta be damned you know I wanna be damned Gotta be damned you know I wanna be damned Gotta be damned you know I wanna be damned Dancing through the night Dancing through the night Dancing through the night with you Oh Baby, you''re the only thing in this whole world That''s pure and good and right And wherever you are and wherever you go There''s always gonna be some light But I gotta get out I gotta break it out now Before the final crack of dawn So we gotta make the most of our one night together When it''s over you know We''ll both be so alone Like a bat out of hell I''ll be gone when the morning comes When the night is over Like a bat out of hell I''ll be gone gone gone Like a bat out of hell I''ll be gone when the morning comes But when the day is done And the sun goes down And moonlight''s shining through Then like a sinner before the gates of heaven I''ll come crawling on back to you Then like a sinner before the gates of heaven I''ll come crawling on back to you I can see myself tearing up the road Faster than any other boy has ever gone And my skin is raw but my soul is ripe And no one''s gonna stop me now I gotta make my escape But I can''t stop thinking of you And I never see the sudden curve until it''s way too late And I never see the sudden curve till it''s way too late Then I''m dying at the bottom of a pit in the blazing sun Torn and twisted at the foot of a burning'' bike And I think somebody somewhere must be tolling a bell And the last thing I see is my heart Still beating Oh breaking out of my body And flying away Like a bat out of hell Then I''m dying at the bottom of a pit in the blazing sun Torn and twisted at the foot of a burning bike And I think somebody somewhere must be tolling a bell And the last thing I see is my heart Still beating Still beating Oh breaking out of my body and flying away Like a bat out of hell Like a bat out of hell Like a bat out of hell Like a bat out of hell Like a bat out of hell

I think Smith and Hughes together in CM need a runout, rest Lappin and give Oli a start in place of Martin.

The same people who cheer Delia one minute then call for her head the next! Agree there is no point in booing as the only thing it does is get the players down whilst giving the opposition and their supporters a lift.

Agree re Hughes and Lappin, did not work at all. Rose did not play well but think he is still settling in and does have potential which he shows in patches.
