  1. I live in Southampton so this could be an option for me but I promised myself three years ago that I wouldn't fly indirect ever again and I can't see that changing but I must admit knowing that I could get in a taxi and be at Southampton airport in ten minutes could make a short changeover and the extra two hours I'd spend on flights bearable.
  2. True Lies
  3. Please delete drunken rant
  4. Mate after all these years you're still funny. Don't stop posting, the way I see it, it's an institution on this forum.
  5. I can't take any more of this shite from United.

  12. I finished reading The Journey to the East which I enjoyed. I'm still trying to decipher all the allegory! I'm going to give that an eight of ten. I definitely recommend Herman Hesse, that's three of his that I've read now and I've enjoyed all of them. I'm going to start reading A Clergyman's Daughter by George Orwell today. I'm a huge fan of his, I only have this one and one other and then I've read every novel he ever wrote.

  15. I've just started reading The Journey to the East by Herman Hesse. Last year I read Steppenwolf and I thought it was brilliant so I'm expecting this to be good too.

  20. I never knew this thread existed so I'm happy to know that there is a place where bibliophiles can share information. Seeing as I'm a bit behind everyone else I'm going to post all of the books that I've read so far this year - I have kept a record since 2012, my aim is to read a thousand books from then onward before I die. I can't remember how many I have read before 2012 but considering I've been a voracious reader at many points in my life I'm sure it could easily be a few hundred already. Anyway, here's the list: Visions of Cody - Jack Kerouac The Bedroom Secrets of the Master Chefs - Irvine Welsh Studies on Hysteria - Sigmund Freud The Bourne Identity - Robert Ludlum The Old Curiosity Shop - Charles Dickens The Ragged Trousered Philanthropists - Robert Tressell Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? Philip K. Dick Metamorphosis and other stories - Franz Kafka The Kandy-Kolored Tangerine-Flake Streamline Baby - Tom Wolfe The Koran The Man in the High Castle - Philip K. Dick The People of the Abyss - Jack London Less Than Zero - Bret Easton Ellis Thus Spoke Zarathustra - Friedrich Nietzsche The Age of Reason - John-Paul Sartre God Is Not Great - Christopher Hitchens Dorian - Will Self Homage to Catalonia - George Orwell Skagboys - Irvine Welsh The Interpretation of Dreams - Sigmund Freud The Girl Who Kicked the Hornets’ Nest - Stieg Larsson The Buddha of Suburbia - Hanif Kureishi Life of Pi - Yann Martell A Kestrel for a Knave - Barry Hines I'm currently reading Meditations on First Philosophy by Rene Descartes. If anyone wants a rating or a review of any in that list let me know, there are some ten out of tens in there and a few nines too.
  21. Bedazzled (oh man she did it for me in that movie, just thinking about it makes my cock twitch)
  22. Austin Powers (take your pick which one, I'm pretty sure he was in all of them?)

  25. This is a very strange season indeed. Less than five weeks from Christmas and Leicester are top, with Chelsea continuing to underachieve in fifteenth place. All of the "big four" teams have lost at least two games so far and United and City have both had heavy defeats from Arsenal and Liverpool respectively. Chelsea have also beaten Arsenal despite their poor form. As a United fan I'll be the first to admit that their football has been very boring at times and they continue to struggle when it comes to scoring goals. However they're also not conceding many goals and have the meanest defence in the league, the reason why they are only a point behind Leicester, who they play next Saturday. This was my prediction at the start of the season: 1) Arsenal 2) Chelsea 3) United 4) City It looks as if I'll be wrong but I can live with that because it looks like United are somehow capable of winning this league. Congratulations to Jamie Vardy for equaling Ruud Van Nistelrooy's record of scoring in ten consecutive Premier League matches. A phenomenal achievement and even more so considering he was playing non-league football three years ago. Well done lad.
