"Does Igor want another beer? One bang for yes, two bangs for no."

Muffle their drumsticks, there you go, how about that? If reasoning with these people fails, resort to out-and-out sabotage. Or maybe give them recorders, should keep them occupied. Or if banging things pleases them then give them triangles. Preferably of the dairy lea kind.

If someone doesn't want to sign without a clause, it doesn't matter how much we offer them in wages, they won't sign. They can just stay a year, activate the clause and go off to a bigger club and earn mega-bunce there. I don't think we put these clauses in for fun.

Revidge, how would offering improved terms minus a clause help? These are players who want to use Rovers as a stepping stone to get their career back on track. Bellamy rejected a better pay deal at Rovers to sign for Liverpool. They're happy to sign for Rovers until something more grand comes along, at which point they want out, pronto.

I think Hughes was quoted as saying we couldn't have got him without putting a clause in. Benni and Bellamy both knew that although they were going nowhere at their current clubs, someone would come in for them in teh end.

If we hadn't given Bellamy a clause then he wouldn't have signed. Either we sign top players with clauses or we don't sign them at all, which do you want?

Bah! Not m,y sort of thing at all. Got Bad Day at Black Rock and The Narrow Margin on DVD recently, proper old-time movies with decent rucking in. Can't beat it.

:-D Sadly, no grenade fuse times to assess. But they do go running in NBC suits. The fitness levels of these people are absolutely astounding. It's actually a good read, I don't think there'll be anymore books on the SAS now as recruits have to signa confidentiality waiver.

... and if it's not in italics, skip it! Recently read the Quiet Soldier by Adam Ballinger, Flopsy would've been proud.

I read an excerpt from that once (I am not saying which 'paper). Sure it's a good book, but I need to read stories of teh Germans being given a good kicking! :-)

Tora Tora Tora is a bit of a bore Billy.

Haven't even see the first one - am I missing anything? American humour seems to be very forced and over-the-top. Lots of jumping around and screaming/ shouting and acting manically.

I would actually agree with Matt there (whoah!) I haven't seen Hot Fuzz, but Shaun of the Dead was chucklesome enough, but not laugh-out-loud hysterical. Better than a Hollywood "comedy" though.

Power trip? Flopsy? Never! Just been to the bookshop, came across an interesting book called "The ######### Delusion" I wonder how many acolytes of Mr ######### will pick it up with an open mind. Also bought a moveable feast and The Old Man and the Sea ... and, but don't get too excited Flopsy, a book on the Dambusters.

Bloody hell, was only a joke. Sense of humour failure perhaps?

How's the Biggles' collection going Flops?

Surely the fact that he was drunk is incidental? Or, it has just occurred to me that he might've needed drink to act on his urges. But those urges would've been there before anyway (he had disgusting stuff on his PC remember). But I would say drink or no drink, just a matter of time. Just my opinion.

Let the sick ****s burn!

Yep, the lifting of odd objects :-) Sandbags, kettlebells. Wouldn't mind trying a stability ball half-filled with water.

Yes, that is fair comment, squadron leader. Stand down, I say stand down, over! Don't stand and yell, ring the bell and run like hell. Bogies at six o'clock, hankies at 5 past 6. All bogies accounted for. This is Little Tipsy calling Beer Leader, over. :-) Although it wouldn't be a film about running these days. More like a film about yoga, bodyweight exercise and odd-object lifting. How sh1t would that be?

I thought that was the Will Young video? There's a volleyball scene? Are they all wearing toity-toit shorts in it and aviator sunglasses?

I can't stand Top Gun at all, it's a bit gay innit?

Oh bloody hell, here we go again with Wingnut Commander Flopsy-Turvy. I don't give a monkey's about the realism of the movie in terms of whether the grenades should've gone off earlier, or whether he should've needed Cuprofen when he landed on his ass in the ejector seat or whether they could've built an FM radio to contact aircraft using nothing more than an egg box a fairy liquid bottle and Mr T's pubes. It's a bleeding *movie* meant to *entertain*. Not a training film for you would-be weekend warriors. DH2 was a top film, and DH3 just wasn't of the same standard as the first 2. DH2's got some great lines in it, particularly from John Amos. "It's a pity McLean, I kinda liked you"

Who the bloody hell is Dwight Willie?
