I thought it was Joe Pasquale

A few years ago I was telling my friend that my sister in law moved to Turkey and recently got a dog.

The first thing she said was "Does your sister in law speak Turkish?" 

I replied "She speaks a bit but I think she is getting lessons..."

My friend exasperated "Well how does the dog understand her?"

I bursted out laughing but we ended up having a heated exchange for 15 minutes as she couldn't get it in her head that the dog isn't fluent in Turkish.

I have not seen anyone else post this on here, but there is a beauty of a promo from CM Punk which is oozing prickish vibes at 2:45

Nah, Jimmy Havocs too busy working for DPD these days

That's not a bad thing, that's a good thing.

Yeah, I only ever heard about them in relation to Cockney food, i.e. pease pudding and saveloy, along with pie, mash & liquour, and jellied eels.

Woah! Pease pudding is very much a Northern thing. It's Geordie Hummus, nothing better than a ham and pease pudding stottie.

I hope after Miro wins Feugo Del Sol's car they have a segment where he smashes it up with his bare hands like in Street Fighter. 

Absolutely! This is exactly what I want to see. 

I saw British Sea Power on Saturday night at Stockton Georgian Theatre and was a very good show. It was a bit weird being stood with 300 people in a tight room but I managed to snag a decent vantage point on the balcony to allay my worries.

Next up is Nick Cave and Warren Ellis at the newly refurbished Stockton Globe Theatre which holds 3,000 people.  It will be only the second concert held there in 47 years.

Cor, look at you lot with your rich families having Sky and parents who welcomed a satellite dish on their house. Bet you all had a Mega Drive AND a SNES too.

Yes and an Amiga 1200

As of today Sky One is no more. Launching in 1982 as Satellite Television it eventually became Sky Channel in 1984 and changed its name to Sky One in 1989. It was the oldest non-terrestrial channel lasting nearly 40 years, with MTV now taking over as the oldest channel on your planner. 

I am a bit of a broadcasting nerd and I am a little bit sad about the demise of Sky One. I was lucky that my parents were early adopters of Sky Television and I was an avid watcher of DJ Kat Show which introduced me to Teenage Mutant Ninja Hero Turtles, Rude Dog and Hulk Hogan's Rock n Wrestling. 

Sky One also gave me my first exposure of WWF where i religiously watched WWF Mania, Livewire and Superstars on a weekend morning 

One thing that sticks with me though is after school every night all of the kids in the street used to pile into my living room (much to the annoyance of my parents) to watch Games World and moan at the contestants who were shockingly shit at the games. My Dad, called Barry gained a new nickname from it which he still hasn't managed to shake off nearly 30 years later. 

So what are your favourite memories from Sky One? I am now expecting a ten page thread about Dream Team....

I won a competition in the local paper to go on the first Robocop Ride at Hollywood Bowl at Teesside Park along with Jet and Cobra from Gladiators.

The simplicity of it is what made the segment. AEW gave Punk 20 minutes to do what he wanted to do. The commentary team allowed the pictures to tell the story and when they did speak it was concise and did not takeover the narrative.

You just know if he returned to WWE within 10 seconds Cole would have screamed "Oh my! Could it be?" and someone would have interrupted Punk halfway through his promo. 

The only slight criticism I had with it was some of the cuts were badly timed for example the t-shirt reveal. It has been a common problem in AEW and hopefully that can be improved going forward.

These fuckers better be touring the UK soon!

Another occurrence of this is when Russia travel to Cyprus. Thank goodness Germany don't have to travel to Nigeria to often......

Pot Pourri, it gives me an awful headache and is usually only found in properties of cat owners. It really makes me wretch. 

If anyone hasn't seen it yet, I urge you to flick on ITV +1 at 8pm to watch Emmerdale. Mandy Dingle and Nicola have a hardcore match which is at least 3*'s.

Is Chris Jericho a heel? His promos always seem heelish. He basically said this week he would punch a dead boxer who most people loved??? 

He was trying to get over he was willing to do anything no matter how despicable to allow him to get his hands on MJF.

i.e Stealing candy from a baby or drowning a bag of cats 

@wordsfromlee what about George Michael?

How have we got to 13 pages and no one has mentioned 'The British Will Smith' yet?

Has he gone back to Newcastle like?

I don't put the blame on the Beeb, it was the fault of the UEFA TV director. They were controlling the camera cuts. I am willing to bet that in the broadcasting contract that the broadcaster must show the live feed until instructed by the UEFA director. 

Anywho they should give Simon Kjaer Player of the Tournament right now. Heroic actions by the Danish captain.

Talksport have just announced UEFA have confirmed in a press statement that Eriksen has been stabilized at hospital which is wonderful news.

Apologies for live posting, but why have they not cut the feed to the match, this is fucking horrible to watch.

One thing I would like them to do is promote the World, Woman's and Tag titles equally. It would take some hard work, but allow them to constantly mix up the cards so the main event/top program is not always the men's title match.

I agree that the women's division requires elevation up the card, but the same can't be said about the tag team division. It has been at the same level, if not higher on occasions than the World Heavyweight title ever since SCU have dropped the tag belts.

I thoroughly enjoyed the PPV, I can't remember popping for so many spots for a long time. The highlight was when Kenny Omega kicked PAC in the stomach and went flying into the turnbuckle like he got shot out of a cannon. Sting Allin/Page Sky was way better than it should have been. Cody can fuck right off though.

I was supposed to get my second jab on Sunday, but I have had a horrendous week. On Monday morning at 4am my youngest started screaming for a feed. I scooped him up from the cot and made my way to the landing and trod on the dog. I desperately rearranged my feet and stood on the bastard mutt again which caused me to go arse over tit and did a flat back bump on laminate flooring whilst cradling the baby.

I managed to get up after 5 minutes very gingerly and decided I better get checked out at the hospital. After a brief prod I was chucked some Naproxen and off I fucked. On Tuesday afternoon the baby started balling it's eyes out and I went to pick him up out of the Moses basket. I got him up about six inches off the mattress and then the worst pain I have ever experienced in my life jolted throughout my body. I dropped the baby and thankfully he landed safely back in the basket. I ended up in an uncomfortable position on the sofa.

Writhing in pain it soon became apparent that I was not going to get up unaided. My parents came round and did everything in their power to get me up to no avail. I called for an ambulance and was initially fobbed off to ring the hospital who then told me you definitely need an ambulance. The paramedics arrived promptly and pumped me full of Morphine and gas & air which allowed me to roll off the sofa and shepherd into the ambulance.

I was x-rayed that night and had an MRI on Wednesday which showed I have suffered a prolapsed disc and spinal stenosis. I have been in bed ever since, only managing to sit on the side of the bed twice. All attempts to mobilize me have failed so far, and my right leg is so weak I can't raise it above 1cm.

I've tentatively rearranged my jab for next week, but I am not counting any chickens, I just hope I can walk again sooner rather than later.
