N.E.D. Social Area

I'm around. I can't really run it because I'm cleaning up other people's mess at work. Do I mean literally? You'll never know.

I guess so

I am sending mine to Olly, as he's done his now.

Last call for SHEEP. Including mine I have 6 answers!

I've just sent them hope I'm not too late

Better than being early

I think Azzy's last call being 12 minutes before you submitted might suggest you're a bit late.

He got in, I was just calculating everything.

1. Name a footballer who won't be playing at this summer's World Cup
Zlatan Ibrahimovic = 5 (Azzy, Afro, Sodhat, Nando, Viva)
John Ruddy = 1 (Olly)
Tom Cleverley = 1 (GSC)

Scores on the doors:
5 = Azzy, Afro, Sodhat, Nando, Viva
1 = Olly, GSC

Excuse me, my entry was Tom Cleverley LOL

2. Name a footballer linked with a move to Manchester United this summer
Toni Kroos = 4 (Azzy, Afro, Sodhat, Nando)

I contend that Flintoff has been registered as an active player with the ECB, and signed a contract to play, ergo, he's not retired

I knew Barack Obama was one of the good guys   

Rubbish game anyway

Azzy choked

He always does when he's below Afro

Many a better man than Azzy have struggled

Like Afro is big enough to make someone choke

Soddy on the other hand  

Didn't expect you to go for ps4 Azzy.

Had to follow all you PS Whores to get points

Same here, I knew the PSWhores would go for it. Better to get 6 points than 2.

As for Barack Obama, he's been a dreadful president, and he's an annoying gimp. I loathe him.

This feels like the time I choked on Arnold Schwarzenegger, when instead of Terminator, I said Kindergarten Cop

I'm sure you're not the only man to have choked on Arnold Schwarzenegger.

You must have known the current President of the United States was going to be the populist choice though...

I thought that George W would be in everyone's thoughts, what with the release of the secret documents, and the fact that Obama has done NOTHING FOR THE PAST FIVE YEARS.

God I hate that guy. He must be a tool if even his wife doesn't like him.

BUT HES BLACK AZZY

Olly is spot on Azzy.

Rule 1: Racial minority = great President.
Disagreement with rule 1 = racist.

He's black and Irish. He is the Clinton Morrison of the modern world.

I'd hate to live on the coast, imagine living in Blackpool the locals must suffer from depression.

Our 6-a-side team won the league last night

With one game to go, it's

Position	Team	Played	Won	Drawn	Lost	GF	GA	GD	Points
1	Shakhtar Senseless	13	7	6	0	19	8	+11	20
2	Pathetico Madrid	13	6	5	2	20	10	+10	17
3	Liptov SVK	13	7	3	3	13	9	+4	17

Playing 2nd place side next week, but we're gonna be celebrating regardless!

But if 2nd place win by 2 clear goals, don't they go above you on goal difference? Great 5-a-side name though.

I went out to watch the boxing on Saturday. Never go out to watch the boxing. Never have I been in a pub so filled with laddy bell ends.

2pts for a win? What kind of backwards, 3-toed and 7-fingered league are you playing in?

The Norwich Invitational

Ah, I see, Azzy worked out the maths.

2 points for a win is so 1970s.

King of Spain abdicates. Ascend, Simon Lappin

Howd the exam go

GSC wrote:Howd the exam go

Section A went bad
Section B went quality

Didn't like the Section A was a Weimar Republic question, Section B was more Nazi based

Anyways got an English exam tomorrow to revise for now, its a 3 hour exam

I remember my history A level, it was mostly on the Italians though.

My friend had done so little revision and attended so few classes that I could see him just sat there through the whole exam, doing nothing.

I got tired of WW2 and the Nazi's. I strongly believe that all history teachers secretly love Hitler.

Fairly sure after visiting all the places like Auschwitz abd Wannsee I'm becoming a mild Nazi myself

Anyways Stalin > Hitler
