What sort of thing are you interested in doing?

Wow

I was at an expo once where they showed a BMW with something similar...let's just say it didn't go so well.

I wouldn't* want to buy the first group of cars that come out with it. Let them fix the bugs first.

Aliens are as likely as some so called deity imbibing a crate of old bones with massive supernatural powers.

Yes and no. The feeling for me in the old ones was always that this could be going on without any of us knowing...don't get that feeling with the aliens.

The aliens are more stupid than the mystical aspects of the first three. The first 3 are somewhat, in a sense, possible and you can believe them for the purposes of the film. I don't think that the same can be said for this one.

The Bombardier is an excellent pub owned by a Rovers fan, great place to watch Rovers game (which is also near to where I work).

That area (the 4/5/6) is a good place to for relatively good food and it has a large selection of bars (mainly ex-pat as it relies on the Paris ex-pats and tourists for a large part of the business). It also has a large number of hotels and you'd be able to find one on practically any budget. If you want to experience fine food and chic Paris then you are better off heading to the other side of the river and staying in the 7/8/9/16. Either way the city is relatively small and so you can travel from one side to the other in a fairly short period of time. Personally I would stay in the 4/5/6 (essentially the latin quarter) as there tends to be a bit more of a life to the place and if you are simply looking to go to basic bars it is a better place to be.

I hope that helps, if you would like a specific list of good bars or places to eat or go I'd be happy to provide one and do stop by the Long Hop.

I'll take this chance to link to the bar

This is the bar run by the Rovers fan

Is that as a result of your computer's free-space? I've played beyond that year before and seen many others do it.

Just got tickets for Billy Bragg when he plays in Los Angeles in June. Anybody heard his new release?

For a bit of a "retro" evening went to see the Proclaimers a couple of weeks ago. Not a bad evening out and yes, they played that 500 miles song!!

Did they just play it 20 times...?

I'd hope to have more of a spine than that.

He's said nice things now, in after-the-fact smaller issues. When was presented to the press he hardly said a good word about us and made it clear that he had wanted out for a while. It's easy to say a nice thing to a newspaper that you know will be read almost exclusively in Blackburn, when the world's mics were pointed at him he chose to take the easier option...something that seems to be a trend of his.

Which just underlines how good Hughes was compared to Souness. He had less money and he didn't inherit some genii like Duff and Jansen.

For someone who constantly champions younger players, I would have thought you could at least Souness credit for developing Duff, Jansen, Dunn, Johnson, Taylor, Nissa, Jay and even to an extent Douglas. Turning them all into players who either made us a profit, performed very well or were unfortunate through injuries (a couple of them a combination of those).

Some things shouldn't be touched, George Lucas needs to learn that.

They shouldn't have made the new Star Wars or Indiana Jones.

All will make tons of money and there will be people who enjoyed all of them, even from the hardcore fan group, but I don't think that any can argue that they lived up to the originals. The question to ask yourself is if this hadn't been an Indiana Jones film (meaning if the franchise hadn't already established itself), would you have enjoyed this movie?

Apparently he's on their 3-man shortlist.

What I want to know though is who the hell exactly are Chelsea to be putting another club's manager on their shortlist? I seriously do not understand this. Does the fact that they are richer due to some shady Russian businessman mean they can just take whatever they want from us and leave us for dead? Has FIFA/UEFA done absolutely nothing to try and protect "smaller" clubs?

Why shouldn't they be allowed to put him on a short-list? All that means is that he is one of the names being considered. Should they decide he is the man for the job they would have to approach the club first. There is nothing illegal about that.

We will have a shortlist at the moment for possible Hughes replacements.

Hughes will have a shortlist of players to look into for the summer, all of whom are currently employed by someone else.

So long as there is no direct contact between the club and the individual before they have the consent of the club that holds the individuals contract there is nothing illegal about it.

I'm also not sure on this, but the fact that Hughes has a rolling contract might mean that we aren't able to reject an approach for him (not that we would anyway).

No way he turns it down if he gets the offer.

More money.

Chance to win something.

Team he supported as a boy.

I still don't think Chelsea will offer him the job and if it were up to me he wouldn't be top of my list.

What about the great sides they had in the 50's and 60's? They certainly had a dark period, as have most clubs, but they do have a very good history.

Well you say "things that have gone in their favour" as if they were totally unexpected.

4 was basically a dead cert. When you have that much demand even a basic grasp of economics would tell you that you can afford to increase the price.

1 and 2 were certainly possible. You can never bank on winning the premiership or the champions league, but United had a good of chance as any team and were the only realistic challengers to Chelsea last season and came into this season as favourites.

3, well we all knew that was coming really. Exact figures may not have been known, but they will have known all along that the deal was going to have to be renegotiated and that, given the popularity of the premiership, it was going to go up.

Noooooo don't say that.

They are evil and retarded and United will be gone soon because they are on the brink of the biggest financial implosion the business world has ever seen!

Oh, but apart from that they just won the Champions League and the Premiership and are laughing all the way to the bank on those winnings. Not to metnion having probably the most highly valued player in the world in their squad. Big trouble in little trafford by the looks of things.

I have one, think it's a medium, I'll check when I get home.

Eddie I do believe you have missed the most important part of abbys question. Who would you replace him with?

7th Place and you want to sack him, close enough anyways, bit silly really.

I don't know who I'd replace him with. I don't know who is free and who would be interested. It's very difficult to know with managers. If it were my job I'd have a list of names, as it is, and as none of our opinions matter, I have simply expressed my opinion on the season.

I think that we will see Codemasters and EA Sports release Cricket games next summer to coincide with The Ashes.

Ah we will have the joy of Brian Lara...

"It's a 4, a 6, caught, dropped....he's bowled him!" Gower is always on top of things.

That's a bit unfair, if he'd have come out of St. James' terrible then he wouldn't have been so fantastic for us. Wasn't he successful at Celtic too? I think Liverpool will have to be blamed for Bellamy's demise.

I think Bellamy has to be blamed for Bellamy's demise.

I actually think it is far better for Rovers to have one dominant force in the league. We'll never win the title, so have the other three weaken so that we might at least make the champions league.

I like having you around, with you talking no one can possibly say that I repeat myself.

You can progress and still be resigning players. There was a time when we would have loved to have had Shearer back, or Duff back before injuries ruined him. He isn't the same player, that is why we shouldn't sign him. He isn't very good.

First of all, I don't think we make it through a 20% reduction as easily as you put it.

Second of all, there would never be a scenario where there is 20% all round, unless it's imply TV revenue. If United saw their income fall by 20% we would see ours fall by a ton more than that. The day United start to see a serious decline in their revenue is the day we should all be very worried.

We'd be a lot more screwed.
