Baguette Express is better.
And bacon is the most overrated foot substance in the world.
That'll be all.

He has a 'Young Gibby' tattoo? Really?
That's what I've always heard anyway, he has some sort of branding or tattoo from his youth.

You edited that and it still doesn't make sense.
It makes perfect sense, m8. Try running your fingers under the words and sounding out the syllables if it helps.

David Hopkin's a fat fucking idiot, to be honest. He can away take himself and his Young Gibby "tattoo" to f**k.

Why have they cut Jamie Lannister's hair this season? Is it to signify that he's getting old? His age has been mentioned a few times.
It's bothered me a lot more than it should do. He had glorious locks.

Good return from Littlefinger.
Largely forgetful episode otherwise.

Hi m8s,
I need to leave my part-time job soon, as I'm going home to the leafy Clyde Riviera for summer. Just need to check how I go about doing this. I've been working part-time in a bar(Wetherspoons) since mid-October/November(I can't remember which), so am I right in thinking I only need to give a weeks notice? I'm scheduled to work the 26th and 27th, an would like to leave after that. Could I hand in a letter tonight, an would that be sufficient notice? What if they've already scheduled me in the rota for the week after, can I tell them to shove it?
ps. Is the notice just a short letter? "Dear managers, thanks for the oppurtunity.. blah.. blah.. I'd like to leave after my last scheduled shift on the 27th.. yours sincerely".
TL;DR: How do I leave my part-time job?

I still think it was Olenna. She and the Tyrell's will slyly get someone to get Margaery up the duff, and claim it's Joffrey's baby.

Compare Mourinho's multiple title successes with that of complete fail clubs like Arsenal and you'll see why he's doing it right.
And the relevance here is... ?
It's not a critique on the success of Mourinho as a football manager. The point is that Feruz is not ever going to get a chance under Mourinho.
Dunno what that list of mainly average jobbers is meant to prove, really? Johnson played plenty in Mourinho's first season, no? Diarra, for all he looks good in isolation, has been fairly disappointing at higher levels (And got plenty of chances), Rajkovic, Cork, Sahar, Bruma and Van Aanholt were all teenagers when he was there, and I would imagine were signed up by the academy/youth managers? Was he expected to select 16 year olds in the Chelsea midfield?
Mancienne, Huth, Cole and Sidwell were and are entirely average players. As for Forssell... he's hardly the one that got away, is he? Interesting that you pick his single season with Brum, rather than the three years after he moved permanently, when he was crocked and pish. Franco Di Santo?
What I'm saying is, I don't think you can blame Mourinho for players like Carlton Cole being shite. Carlton Cole is just shite, and no manager in the world is going to make him anything other than a big huddy. You can only pish with the cock you've got, and if the youth system which will involve dozens of other coaches, managers and scouts before they get anywhere near the first team is producing pish, then by the time it reaches the manager, whoever it is, is going to have a 'poor record with youth'. Ultimately, Europe's elite clubs struggle to produce young players, whether through fear of failure with managers under colossal pressure to perform, and the stakes involved. Youth is always going to break through more easily at smaller clubs, with less pressure and expectation, on top of the necessity to produce assets for sale. As Mourinho is only going to work at the elite clubs now, that will always be an issue for him.
I just think its interesting how managers are perceived regarding youth, for example, Moyes was touted as having a better record than Mourinho at doing it when he was hired at United, when ultimately, the only truly great player that Moyes had come through ended up leaving in a huff and couldn't be dealt with by him. By comparison, Mourinho, with his poor record, got a hold of Varane at Madrid as a young player and chucked him in to big games and trusted him to do the business. In truth, this is an example in isolation, but yeah, perceptions are interesting.
Sorry, that went a bit full on, happy to be corrected, tbh, just the way I look at it.
It's not about the youth system, it's about giving young players a chance. Which Mourinho completely refuses to do, even the ones he himself has purchased from other youth systems. Like Craig said, unless your Messi, Chelsea is one of the worst clubs to be at for a young player in terms of first team opportunity.

Scott Sinclair, Miroslac Stoch, Glen Johnson, Franco di Santo, Michael Mancienne, Lassana Diarra, Carlton Cole, Mikael Forssell, Robert Huth, Steve Sidwell, Jack Cork, Patrick van Aanholt, Jeffrey Bruma, Ben Sahar, Slobodan Rajkovic.
Enough? All of them came to the club as academy graduates/young prospects, an were all there during Mourinho's time. All of them, some more than others, became decent players. How many of them were giving a proper chance to become Chelsea players? Probably about 5. Mikael Forssell scored 17 league goals for a shite Birmingham team, then came back to Chelsea and didn't play a PL game until May. That's the sort of thing these players are dealing with.
There's a good number of other youth players bought under Mourinho, who either turned out shite, or were let go before getting a chance to prove themselves.

Can you think of many youngsters who have broken through at Mourinho's Chelsea, Inter or Real Madrid teams? Balotelli is the only one I can think of.
The man is a egocentric, short-termist c**t. There isn't a chance in hell that Feruz or any other youth strikers will get a chance under him.

Fear And Loathing in Las Vegas
An enjoyable movie. Of course it didn't make much sense in parts, but it wasn't supposed too. Was quite funny in parts too. Great acting from Johnny Depp and del Toro.
ps. Tobey Maguire's character makes my skin crawl.

Dallas Buyers Club
I usually struggle to sit through films that are over 90 minutes long, but managed too easily for this. That's probably because it started off at a terrific pace and kept it going along steadily throughout. They managed to make a good, exciting movie out of an idea which seemed bland and uneventful. It woul've been easy to make a boring heap of shite like The Insider, so well done to everyone involve for making an action-packed movie. Superb acting from everyone concerned, easy to see why the Oscars went the way they did.

Yeah, he is definitely Scottish. He did the voice over for the Guinness "made of more" adverts last year.

My brother only recently started doing nightshifts but shall be doing it no longer after getting caught having a quick post-lunch power-nap, hence sacked.
He should have had a w**k instead, in all honesty.

heart attack perhaps or maybe the big c? can't really see him topping himself
Nah, he'll be oot the windae in the last episode . What does he have to live for? He's already admitted he doesn't love his kids, and has feigned it since their birth. Same thing with Megan really, and Betty before her. As much as he can pretend to himself that he loves her, he's really only in love with the IDEA of being in love.
He's an emotionally and mentally scarred person, and can't form emotional bonds with anyone, even his own flesh and blood. He's had to feign them all his life. There's no recovery from that. Especially when you consider he's an alky. And whilst he was a functioning alky, that was only because he had a job kept him ticking over and made him feel like he had a purpose in life. He's lost that job, so what else is going to occupy his time? He doesn't give a f**k about Megan or the kids, so it won't be them. He'll be on the bottle.
He has to kill himself really. I don't see where he can go.
