Another Drive4show 'Anything goes' thread

[JAS]

First topic message reminder :

Right now I would rather we still had Wellbeck and little pea and that Falcao had never arrived.  Not too impressed by the signing of Di Maria either.

"We"?? I'm surprised you associate yourself to an organisation that has squandered over £135 this summer, whilst there are homeless people on the streets and starving children in the world!! They could have spent £135m on those things and left the squad alone, finishing top half would still be ok wouldn't it? Especially if so many peoples lives were improved by redirecting transfer monies to charity.

[incontinentia]

Brian O' Driscoll always seemed like a sound chap.

[westisbest]

Yeah, always thought that myself.
Great player and seems like a great man to.

[super_realist]

I've heard Paul Lawrie is a p rick.

[beninho]

I don't think i have ever met a sportsman, or even a celebrity. I have seen Mark Ramprakash and Angus Fraser in my local sainsbury, and PC Dave Quinan from the Bill, but that about it.

Am playing golf on saturday, first time in over 3months, since the boy was born. I have not even swung a club in that time. And being a hacker anyway, it could be interesting...potential for an airshot on the first!

[westisbest]

How is fatherhood going ben?

[beninho]

“I rang Mark Hughes. Robbie [Savage] wasn’t in the Blackburn team and I asked Mark if we could try to arrange a deal. Sparky said: ‘Yeah, yeah, he’s lost his way here but he could still do a job for you.’ Robbie’s legs were going a bit but I thought he might come up to us [at Sunderland], with his long hair, and give us a lift – the way Yorkie [Dwight Yorke] had, a big personality in the dressing room. Sparky gave me permission to give him a call. So I got Robbie’s mobile number and rang him. It went to his voicemail: ‘Hi, it’s Robbie – whazzup!’ like the Budweiser ad. I never called him back. I thought: ‘I can’t be Frak signing that.’”

I like Roy Keane!

[beninho]

west, Fatherhood is wonderful, greatest thing ever! Hard going, but not as hard as i had imagined. Maybe i built it up worse, Little man does not like sleeping during the day, but is already (at times) sleeping well at night. Got him down by 11 last night and he slept through till 6. Though i am struggling to walk past a shop without wanting to buy him something to wear, which i need to stop with the wife only on maternity pay.

Very funny.

Robbie Savage, not a fan of his at all.

It is great.

Love every minute of it.
My boy is 1 on the 24th, has flown by.

Even the crying(which he hasn't done as much as I thought he would) and the sleepless nights have all been woth it.

When I see him smiling, laughing, learning and enjoying his life.

Did anyone watch the show about cats on bbc 2 last night?

[super_realist]

Just you Mac.

[incontinentia]

Did anyone watch the show about cats on bbc 2 last night?

Yes, it was excellent mclaren, as i'm sure you will attest. Theres so much we can learn from cats.

[navyblueshorts]

Just you Mac.

No. Actually, I watched it. I like cats but thought I'd broaden my understanding of them in a wider sense as well .

[super_realist]

I ran over a cat once.

[beninho]

I hit a cat not long ago. I was distraught. I stopped but could not see it, hopefully it was ok. It is a horrible feeling.

[super_realist]

Ach, just a cat Ben. Hopefully it didn't damage your car. I'm keen to run over a Staffie.

[MustPuttBetter]

I ran over a cat once.

Me too. On the street i live on. I got out the car and it must have broken it's neck or something as it was flipping around all over the place. Some woman who was standing in her garden came over and said 'did someone run over it, did you see?' and i said 'yeah, me, do you know who's it is?'.....her reply, 'mine'. Damn it! Her daughter came out and they were all crying. It was a bit awkward..........

[super_realist]

A bit awkward that one MPB, but if you own a cat, I suppose you have to expect it's a real possibility old Tiddles will end up underneath a tyre at some point.

That must have been a right "I'll get my coat" moment.

[MustPuttBetter]

It was a bit! What do you say?! 'What was his name? Ah that's sweet. He's dead now isn't he, oh well, bye....'

I did have some flowers delivered, so she wouldn't feel the need to come and smash my windows in, and she put a thank you card through the door with her mobile number on it saying 'if you ever want to go for a drink...'
That was awkward too! Ha

[super_realist]

NIce touch MPB.

Sounds like she fancied you too.

[MustPuttBetter]

She was massive so we did not go for a drink, plus the mrs had got to the card long before me!

I've tried running over a few cats with more attractive owners since but it's not a 100% success rate in terms of a pulling technique

[McLaren]

I had a cat that was the victim of a hit and run. The body was found dumped on a nearby construction site.

[super_realist]

Hit and Run? There's no obligation to even stop Mac so consider yourself lucky someone scraped it off the road for you.

[incontinentia]

I'm surprised the intestine strewn scene of your vehicular caticide wasn't a more successful hunting ground for you MPB. Have you tried weddings?

[pedro]

Back in school I told a girl I had seen a cat beeing run over on some street nearby. It wasn’t true, I was just trying to be cool (the way you think you’d be if you were in 5th grade I suppose). When she asked whether it had this and this color and features I just confirmed. But then she started freaking out and crying as she thought it was her cat!! Sh!t!
Obviously she later found out it nothing had happened - but even though it’s many years ago I still think about sometimes…  

[MustPuttBetter]

I'm surprised the intestine strewn scene of your vehicular caticide wasn't a more successful hunting ground for you MPB. Have you tried weddings?

In seriousness, considering i haven't actually yet attempted to slaughter more cats in romantic pursuit, it's actually 1 from 1 so a 100% success rate. Give it a go Inco!
Doesn't sound like it worked so well for Pedro, but to be fair i am f-ing good looking which is a bit of a head start

Btw, Wedding Crashers is one of my all time favourite films. I used to hate both Vince Vaughn and Will Ferrell until i saw that film. Still hate Will Ferrell in everything since but VV has grown on me.

[navyblueshorts]

What a bonkers cat thread!

Here's a heck of a 4-iron:

Thought I was the only one who didn't like Ferrell.

[westisbest]

Not really a fan myself.

[pedro]

Never got him either. Can't understand why he's supposed to be popular. Bit of a d0pe head really. Same with Vince Vaughn.

[beninho]

Elf is one of the greatest films ever made. Will Ferrell could make nothing but horrendous films after that and he would still be in credit. The first Anchorman is also good. 60% of the time it works all the time.

[super_realist]

Never really got the fuss about Anchorman, most over-rated film I've ever seen.

[McLaren]

navy

Is the guy in the video Snedeker?

[westisbest]

Not seen Anchorman, no desire to.

Do like Vince Vaughn.
Think he does the comedy films very well.

I find him very funny to watch.

[1GrumpyGolfer]

navy

Yes, it was posted to WRX recently. Comments on there tried to show that the European Tour had previously done something like that some time ago.

[super_realist]

David Howell seems to be involved in a lot of these wheezes, for example, Hitting a golf ball off a tall building in Dubai to a green on a boat, hitting a gong in the middle of a lake in Oireland, clay pigeon shooting (I think Simon Khan won this)
and others.

[pedro]

Can't stand watching actors/comedians who are so clearly dru gged up. Eddie Murphy the old version also springs to mind.

[westisbest]

Just watching Jack Dee.

Guy cracks me up.

Great comedian.

[raycastleunited]

I love Dodgeball, one of my all time favourite films. Vaughn and Stiller at their finest.

[incontinentia]

Vince Vaughn is to be in the new series of true detective, be interesting to see him in a serious/non comedic role.

[westisbest]

Yeah, saw that.

Not seen the first series, told the other half she could get that for my birthday.

[incontinentia]

Its excellent westi, one of the best shows I've seen.

One of the main characters describes himself as a realist and is scathingly critical of religion, sound like anyone we know?!

[westisbest]

He never told us he was in True Detective, kept that quiet

Looking forward to watching it.

I see Colin Farrell is in the second series to.

[super_realist]

Strange all these big "stars" doing TV shows these days.

Trouble with American series is they have far too many episodes. I can never get through them.

[westisbest]

The other thing with some of them, is there are to many seasons.

Eg Lost. Really enjoyed the first 4 seasons, the last 2 I thought were poor.

The ending I though was a let down.

Could have wrapped it up after 4 seasons.

Then you get the shows that are good, but only last one season. Eg Flashforward.

[beninho]

True Detective is very good, maybe a little let down at the end. And only 10 episodes. The shootout scene, is one of the best TV scenes ive ever seen

[super_realist]

Never seen it, but then again, I've hardly seen any of these modern blockbusting series.

[McLaren]

What about the GBBO winner?

[super_realist]

These "games shows masquerading as talent shows " have to go.

Well done, you can bake a cake, sing a song, dance, ice skate, dive. Big deal.

[westisbest]

I have done well to avoid any spoilers from True Detective.
Sooner I watch it the better. Then can look forward to season 2.
