    It's a bad comedy with some funny bits in it... If there's nothing on and you just want to relax in front of the TV then go for it. Simon Pegg movies are never great, usually cheesey but always have a laugh or three in there somewhere :)

    Thanks. So its not 'life-changing'. I think I'll visit a public house instead and wet my whistle.:)

    We messed up. Again. :rolleyes:

    Have spent ages looking for Edinburgh hotels. Again. Why did I cancel my last one, Edinburgh hotels are unbelievably expensive, I really resent paying over 200 yoyos for a hotel room I'm barely using. :rolleyes:

    At least Millwall lost too. You're clinging on to that automatic promo spot.

    You could be there for a few more days:( Trains and ferries an option??
    I heard hotels across europe are tripling their prices. They know they have 'captive' guests.

    driving to Calais on Tuesday morning to try my luck and feel like I'm making progress. No hire cars as they've all been taken on one way trips.

    You guys probably didn't hear the radio commentary on BBC Radio 5Live. As Wigan won a corner at 1-2 (which they scored from) the impartial summariser Robbie Savage shouted 'Come on Wigan.' When N'Zogbia got the winner you could hear him shouting and cheering.

    Times past you could rely on the Beeb for balanced reporting :rolleyes: but I have to say it was fun, unless you were a Gooner.

    It was not fun, I can assure you :mad::mad::mad:. I'm not too bothered about being out of the title race as I never believed we would win it (ie, I never believed that the players believed that they would win it :confused:). Capitulating in that way at 2-0 up was disgraceful though :mad::mad::mad:.

    Why do people insist on inputting "202.31 miles" in to the 1,000 mile challenge table when the heading clearly says "Running Miles".
    And 2 places of decimal?
    Stick in 202.3
    We'll all understand that it's miles :eek:.
