God no not Katie Price, i'd rather watch ceefax on a black and white TV. I cant stand that woman!:D

I've given up on Lost too, I loved the first 3 series but havent even bothered with the new, it hasnt made any sense for the last 3 seasons. I've never watched Greys Anatomy, might give it a try, there is nothing on TV tonight!

In a total and unashamed rip off of the 'whatcha watching' thread, I thought I would start one where people could list what they are planning to watch over the next few hours; in the hope that someone mentions a program that might interest others that they might be unaware of, (and because I cant be bothered to look through the TV listings). 9pm CH4: Scams, claims and compensation anyone else....

But the funny thing is, Swansea rested a lot of first teamers and had players out that havent played for the first team since Most of the Dutch premier league or whatever it's called would struggle at championship level on a weekly basis in my opinion

Well yea, but I would expect a team who are used to playing teams like Werder Bremen and who are used to playing at Champions League level to make light work of Swansea. But they were like a pub team. I'm pretty sure they played most if not all their first team: FC Twente: Boschker (Mihaylov 46), Kuiper (Heubach 46), Wisgerhof, Brama (Akram 46), Stam (Bannink 46 (Rukavytsya 54)), N'Kufo (De Jong 63), Perez (Tiote 46), Stoch (Chery 61), Douglas, Janssen, Vujicevec. Subs not used: Hengelman.

I dont understand how these Dutch teams get into these european competitions. FC Twente are playing Werder Bremen AND they are wining on aggregate, how did that happen? The Dutch league is so poor. Swansea played FC Twente preseason and hammered them 3-0

I saw that program, that line he came out with is a bog standard racist remark that I would expect to hear from the mouth of a BNP member, infact the whole show to me came across very much as 'us and them'. The brits quite clearly proved, even though most of them were probably to thick to realise it, why people employ these foreigners. Because they dont phone in sick every 2 days!

I've recently taken out Water for elephants, I have Something wicked this way comes and Shogun on hold. Loving my library, there is no way I would be reading as much as I have been the last few months without it.

Thank you Chrissy, I shall add them to my list. Rose I sort of had a love/hate relationship with the millennium trilogy, I loved Lisbeth but I found the books quite a slog and I gave up on the 3rd one before finishing it.

I read almost entirely for pleasure and escapism. Be it a book or on the internet. Since I have started to make more of an effort to read this year I am starting to discover a well written book can completely transfer you to another world like nothing else (legal) on earth. I am also starting to appreciate a wider range of genres than I used to (I was strictly what I would imagine to be a typical male reader of horror and action); I am currently reading however Water for elephants after seeing it being discussed on here, and it has made me laugh out loud and upset, all within a few pages, no TV show or movie could ever do that.

I was watching the documentary on BBC 1 showing british people moaning about 'them coming over here and taking our jobs', the documentary then proceeded to replace 'them' with 'honest british workers' to try and prove good ole johnny english could do the same job just as well. Over the following half hour the same people either refused to turn up or just threw a sickie:roll:

I have just placed 'Shogun' the first book from the Asian Saga on hold at my library, i'm trying not to be scared by the size of it just something about it seems interesting to me Thanks for the tips!

If only! These are all great suggestions, exactly what i'm looking for. Right I HAVE to go to work now

Fatherland! I heard about that book years ago and totally forgot about it! Right, I better go to work

Hey everyone, I am hoping a few people can give me some recommendations of works of fiction that have a slightly more serious take on the legal/secret service(s)/spy 'world' than the the usual what I would call paint by numbers thrillers, where a crime happens on page 5 and by the end of the book the entire city/town seems to be involved and everything is wrapped up nicely and everyone lives happily ever after in a scoobydoo-esque kind of way.. I guess i'm thinking more John Grisham than Karin Slaughter.. Please dont say Frederick Forsyth, as I read The Afghan and I thought it was dire:lol: I dont think there is a similar thread in existence already to ask for recommendations, if there is I apologise. I look forward to hopefully reading some recommendations when I finish work today... Happy Well look at that, a quick look through the forum list and there is an entire board for this exact purpose, I do apologise it's early and I have my half asleep work 'head' on

God bless +1 It's the only american comedy show i've paid any attention to since Friends, Jake makes me laugh

Damn I forgot about that, the new series is tonight:motz:

Pawn Stars on the History Channel, why it's on this channel I dont know, but its a good fly on the wall documentary about a family run pawn shop in Las Vegas. Then at 9 Towerblock of commons

Yea go on, rub it in

Gossips and gaggles of ****** women! Have I already said that? I think I have...oh well they do REALLY ANNOY ME! The fact that it's edited out the word I wrote gives the impression I used a far worse word, that I would like to clarify I didnt.

I saw him talking about that scarf in an interview a few weeks ago, he said he will always where it even during Summer; I think he thinks he's in Russia:lol:

It is something that once started I know I would really enjoy doing, it's just taking those first steps that I am a bit weary of. I think I will have a look in Asda this week for a cross stitching magazine as Lexie suggested:D

I think it's one of these activities where a total beginner would benefit greatly from being physically around people who are already familiar with doing it. Never mind. I really must stop hijacking threads, I do apologise.

Well I found the kit, the whole thing; I think I can see why I didn't start it looks so complicated ! It's most definitely not a starter design, it's of lions lying in the outback, not a million miles away from this: And the instructions scare me a little

It's like a sunday league pitch, infact i've seen better park pitches. I think they keep it like that on purpose, unless their groundsman is 9 years old and a bit slow. I really really hope it's another 9-1 loss, Roberto Martinez deserves it for what he did to Swansea.
