  1. I like Take That and you don't. Gentle ribbing, banter, a laugh or whatever is fine. What I don't understand is why you're telling me to 'get a grip' because a couple of them got involved in a tax avoidance scheme. I just don't know what your point is. I've probably missed it and if I have I'd like you to clarify. Because with my apparent misunderstanding it reads like you're just having a go.
  2. Get a grip on what? I'm a fan of a particular band, why are you so uptight about it? If you must know, there a genuine emotional family tie to the band so kindly stop being a prick about it. I don't particularly give a @#/? about their tax-dodging in relation to enjoying their music. Much the same as I find Jimmy Carr quite funny regardless of his tax-dodging. They're good at what they do and it appeals to me. That's about the end of it.
  3. Just good music imo. Reminds me a lot of family members who've passed on for the most part. Also, it's music where I can actually hear the lyrics, perhaps then my deafness actually plays a part?
  4. Just to make a semi-serious point (hur-hur), since when was an erection inappropriate behaviour? Us blokes know that it just happens sometimes, so quite why he's been demonised for a natural occurrence is beyond me. That's unless he was @#/? or something.
  5. You guys don't understand subjectivity do you?
  6. Barlow and Donald can definitely sing. Owen is passable at best, but more of a showman in the group. And I always wondered why Orange was even there There's a reason Gary and Howard are the dominant singers in the group. It isn't just the music, which I admit is cheesy pop ballads over and over, but the show as a whole. I do prefer Muse and Runrig over Take That, but I'm not going to pretend I don't enjoy what they do.
  7. Yeah, that stops them being good showmen and having good voices...
  8. You'll be please to know I bloody loved Take That tonight Great show and cheesy pop, what's wrong with that?
  9. 'It might happen once, it can't happen twice'...you sure? Even the best writers may reuse ideas. I admit it can sound anti-climatic but at the same time I like the idea. My favourite bonkers theory is that Euron Greyjoy and Daario Naharis are the same person. One of those there's that is so neat and messy at once it's just odd.
  10. It would mean that despite his hatred of an illegitimate son, he kept him around for political value. Tyrion was everything that Tywin wanted in his son. But instead of dwarfism being the reason hate him, it's the fact he ACTUALLY wasn't his, but Tyrion still picked up all Tywin's traits. For me it humanises Tywin and makes him more of an anti-hero than outright villain. Yet again, just like Tyrion. I'm not particularly bothered if it turns out not to be the case, but it's interesting to discuss.
  11. That link misses a Targaryen birth (or was it stillbirth?) of a girl born with a tail.Tyrion was also said to have been born with a tail. He was also born within a year of the only time Aerys and Joanne could feasibly have been in each other's vicinity. It's just a fun theory imo. Some say it devalues the relationship between Tyrion and Tywin, but I think it would add another dimension (if it's even true ofc). Isn't the irony deepened if it turns out he isn't even a Lannister?
  12. Just a fan theory, but a pretty long-winded one. I'd wondered it after reading 'The World of Ice and Fire' book and now it's become a reasonable theory.http://www.buzzfeed.com/lukebailey/its-raining-in-castamere I disagree re: stupidity of the show. Enjoyed the books and enjoy the show.
  13. TYRION IS A TARGARYEN!!!
  14. Hang on a min, I do have SOME standards! 1D can feck right off.
  15. I wonder how far I could actually go down in Abbey's estimations? Take That WWE fan Saw McBusted last year Golfer What else?
  16. Take That on Saturday! *cowers*
  17. We all love some ab-to-ab bumpage
  18. People accuse wrestling of being muscly men being homoerotic...
  19. She sing-signs (BSL) Uptown Funk better than most people can dance. She's a bit fit too: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=dmw7uBJWyZM
  20. On the goal thing, Lowe vs Boro, Conway vs Rotherham, Marshall vs Reading Cairney vs Norwich are certainly great goals. Then there was Rhodes' clever chip over the keeper last season and his goal where AdamRochina typo'd 'takes Poseidon from the edge of the biscuit' There will be moments to show that are better than the current montage of average tackles
  21. Personally, I'd scrap Rovers Radio and TV aside from an hour either side of the games. Don't bother with music, just chat with a relevant guest (maybe do guest commentary). We need to start showing more recent great goals than just constantly having the good times rubbed in our faces imo. Try and get some positive feeling about those playing for us NOW.
  22. Yes, but the gulf is comparable to us and Liverpool imo. Though this would be in development as well as ability, AND calibre of management.
  23. Tbf, we're a team of mostly U18's vs a team that has a fair bit first team PL experience. I think we'll be seeing more of Mahoney and O'Sullivan next season. Possibly even Nyambe towards the end, who has impressed me today. That number 14 is doing very well for a 16yo too.
  24. Wrestlemania got a big reaction on here huh? Shame, one of the tidiest cards of clean and well-structured matches I've seen at WM in my 15 years of fandom!
