I agree! My n-e team is one that, I think, will be much stronger in two seasons time. Even over the last two seasons the average strength has vastly improved. Last season I think I was severely wrong with my tactics far too often, but this season I think there's been a massive change - I think the weaker teams have improved more than the stronger teams, so the gap between dyson, you, happenstance, haden and teams like me, gaggle, ReZ and even shorty has dwindled. Oddy is still the 90's Man U; the big scalp, that we all want to beat. Having three leagues this season - with two of the leagues full of competant and attentitative managers means we'll have more good teams and a lot less easy games. I'm keen to see how the lowest league fares. I think next season, once we've had some bigger names relegated, will get that league going. At the moment we have noodle and Mcoy as the big names wanting to stake a claim down there, and we always have that guarentee that certain managers will just forget to play and let their teams dwindle. Plus, we'll have moogle returning, no doubt eager to make his impression too. Haden was saying to me earlier that x11 is getting stressful, but I think it's just getting better and better! I love the thing. I'm planning to stay up late tonight, and if it hits 6am then I'll no doubt have to stay up 'til 12:30pm to catch the results (me losing to you, no doubt :P) before I hit the hay. Managing two teams eases the stress of the n-e league a little, by promising a bit more reward. I love x11, and I'll probably get a VIP account once I know I can afford it!

That's fair enough. Earlier on I saw a 26 year old midfielder with 14 skill going for 52m! That sort of money is bonkers. I imagine working the youth and transfer market is a lot more essential in the sorts of leagues that you're in.

Iota 1: The BNP are, as Dan Dare said, sly bastards who use rhetoric and national emotions to overshadow their intentions. I listened to a speech that was made by the dude elected for a EU seat, and he made some interesting claims -- I mean, someone like me who pseudo-believes in conspiracies, he said that he wants to get a team in to investigate the actual actions of the EU and its confederation of governments. In respect to the recent scandal with our own national MPs, I think this is a valid concern to many individuals - that our governing bodies are honest. (which is why I like teh Lib-Dems, for they do honesty the proper way, unlike Cameron and his conservative bullshit) I don't think that people should be out on the streets booing or mugging BNP MPs or anything. They can just use their oppression as some sort of parallel to other oppressed minorities over the decades, and I also think that it would be akin to lowering ourselves to 'their (perceived) level if we allow for any such anger to be released. In one sense, it is good for the EU to have right-wing parties in the parliament. It means that all issues will be contended and debated thoroughly. If the EU was 100% comprised of the same party system then I would be far more worried than I am about one back-bencher getting in. The BNP dude will cause a ruckus when and where he can - and I do believe that he will pick his moments as such to increase domestic party support - but ultimately the new support he seeks is found through highlighting the beurocratic system's faults. people who encourage violence or censorship of the BNP are scared that the BNP will eventually gain some sort of real power. They need to just learn to sit back and laugh at the BNP, and instead address the reasons behind why voters elected 'facist' MEPs rather than more conservative, or liberal, individuals. My earlier question was not answered; how many people here complaining about the results actually voted? (p.s. I mentioned the whole zanu labour thing before, too. I think it's like saying "gaystation poo.")

Sorry bud, I don't know what you're asking, exactly?

very impressive! I'm in the 8th division of the Final League. I'm fairly confident that despite there being 2 matches played already, I can get my team promoted. There seems to be maybe one or two other teams who seem to know what they're doing. I imagine the difficulty racks up quickly as you get promoted, facing other teams who have been promoted and so on. My next game is against the team currently in 2nd in my league, and I'm confident I'll thrash them! Will find out at about 8pm tomorrow! I see you're supporting me now! Nice, I'll return the favour and keep an eye on your team too your walmsley squad is utterly inspiring - though I think your defense and midfield are fragile if too many people leave in teh same season. It's sickening to see people with 13+ skilled 26 year olds. I imagine that as your team gets better, so do your youth... I think Haden's applied to get an x11-league team, too. Well worth it. Now I only wish I had some group of friends to develop my own league with! That way I'd definitely buy VIP.

Well from what I can tell, we have; A white-haired woman (followed guy with a cape) A blue individual (targetted the group of turtles) a bunch of turtles (koopas?) (followed nose-thing) Someone with a strong nose (who left an egg? a yoshi?) (targetted white-haired woman) A guy with a bright cape (roy? Marth? I can't think of a nintendo character with a cape) A "that's a she?" character, maybe samus (targetted by annoying creature and kiss-girl) (itself targetted guy with pointy shoes) a small, mysterious, annoying/persuasive character (changes targets) (targeted blaster guy) (wanted blaster guy to target girl-who-looks-like-girl,-possibly-sheikah) a guy with a blaster (who was controlled) (didn't have a target) A person with yellow cloth (targetted guy with blaster and girl who wanted to kiss the girl-boy[samus?]) (potentially role-blocking both?) (targetted by tech-guy) A furry person (who is being kept quiet today) (targetted small annoying thing) another, similar looking, furry person (targetted furry person, keeps them quiet the next day) someone who protects with a magical barrier A girl trying to kiss boy-girl [samus?] (targetted by yellow-cloth) Guy with pointy shoes (stunned by girl/guy samus?) (investigated by pointy-eared huffer) Tech-guy, cloth-weilder Tall Man (targetted boy-with-shield [link?] Boy with shield[evil] targetted large egg [impa], potentially something to do with the good-nosed thing earlier. Now, maybe the evil-shield-boy targetted impa, after impa was targetted by good-nose (yoshi)? I presume that yoshi targetted nintendohut, turned him into an egg to stop him from doing anything, then this perhaps-dark-link killed impa (nintendohnut) while impa was in an egg. The tall man (maybe waluigi? Doshin?) will know who the killer is. I hope this was of some help to people in trying to find themselves in the write-up. I think it helped me.

I never said he wasn't perfect - I think he knows what roles he can act and he chooses wisely - I just think for this film his appearance at all distracted from other characters. It over. While Jason Statham is confident in himself, I think pitted with the character of Tommy he didn't shine enough, considering he ought to be more of a central character than Pitt's was. Lock stock's odd thumb is Vinnie, for his career as a footballer certainly weighs heavy over his appearance (at least, to british viewers), but it gives the movie the 'british' tone that helps it feel like a movie that isn't merely imitating american mafia movies.

The tech-savvy individual seems to be someone who has picked the right target; whoever they picked was, I think, observing a fair few things that happened above!

Nope - I prefer Lock Stock too. Tighter script, in my opinion, and without a bradd pitt, the cast feels more even and Vinnie Jones doesn't come across amateur as I thought he did in Snatch. The soundtrack is way better too.

ReZ - not sure I can accept the McCoy (Up for debate!) because his name is "Brian Mcoy". The juggling I can accept, but the lego house...well surely we want an awesome new original attempt I guess it ought to be accepted... so that's 9 with the McCoy's up for debate. New BISHes time! Send 'em my way.

I can't remember if I said; I've got a second team, in the VIP league. Just got a 25 year old keeper with 7 skill for less than a million! The rest of the players in my league don't seem to set tactics, so I think I understand when oddy says our league is good because it really is. We're all tactician extraordinaires! I'm really hoping to win the league i'm going into...

EITS (at least, the FNL soundtrack) is just shaded heavy with sadness, it breaks me. Lonely Train -- i didn't know what the track was and it was reminding me of the lonely train rides (perhaps because she's on my mind anyway) I undertook, leaving leeds for the 4-hour trip to brighton.

I think a lower limit would perhaps give mafia an unfair advantage, tbh

It's pretty odd/cool when you can see the same track(s) in different people's last.fm things. Oddy pointed out that we had the same track there once -- except I never have my scrobbler on, so it's always wrong :P Explosions in the Sky all round!

Uh oh, danny; you better watch your back. Nobody takes the piss out of Bauer.

Done fuck-all today! There was a thunderclap earlier that lasted for ages, I thought houses were falling apart or something. The yo-yo that is my relationship with my ex is up again. I'm so madstupidcrazy in love, I'm an utter fool. Considering asking her to move in with me even though it would be a car crash on a few levels. SIGH! Shit son, sorry to hear that The first question would be a glorious essay question to feast on, but I can imagine in an exam it being poo. You seema smart enough guy, so I wouldn't worry.

I thought the grindhouse films were massively hyped up before release - just the critics were fairly brutal with them, and they kinda slinked off with their tails between their legs. I was fortunate enough to see a proper billing of planet terror and deathproof back-to-back, complete with the spoof trailers in between, at a nice little cinema in leeds. I'm a wee fan of 70's b-movie stuff anyway, so I found then to be pretty cool. Actually, I haven't seen either since...

Explosions in the Sky and Empire of the Sun are rocking my headphones. The latter is a bit like the baby spawned after Stellastarr* met Biffy Clyro at a stoner rave.

It's hard to recommend a similar show to help pass the BSG-less future, but I highly recommend Breaking Bad if you like your TV dark and gut-searing. The second season just finished, and a third is on its way. It is about a chemistry teacher, Walt (played by Hal from Malcolm in the Middle), who finds out he has cancer, and through his DEA brother-in-law he stumbles upon a kid he used to teach (played by Scott from Big Love) running away from a meth lab. They tag-team, and for two seasons now we've watched Walt become entwined in the world of drug making and dealing. It's taut, gripping and grimy. Several horrific situations (bathtub, man in the wheelchair) that have that car-crash tone. But it is also got a few of those "woooaah... shit!" moments, which we all love BSG for. Do it.

Sure If anyone wants to send in their next-night moves, then feel free.

Yeah, that's fine dude Send it over.
