  1. Why did Sid leave the WWF in the summer of 1997?

     

    Softball season was starting again?

     

    Actually, I don't know how much of a joke that is, but IIRC, Power Slam at the time put it down to a disagreement over money and maybe even a couple of no-shows on his part. I don't think it was all cordial, to say the least. Sorry I can't be clearer.

  2. Let me be the first to bore everybody else with my Top 15, I don't actually think I did all that well, as relates to the main list:

     

    1. Pink

    2. Frankie Boyle

    3. The ginger bird from La Roux

    4. Jim Davidson

    5. Richard Littlejohn

    6. Harry Redknapp

    7. Robert Peston

    8. Miley Cyrus

    9. Jon Gaunt

    10. Uri Gellar

    11. Billy Connolly

    12. George Lamb

    13. Steven Gerrard

    14. Peaches Geldoff

    15. Sharon Osbourne

     

    Great, great write up though, very funny. Top marks.

  3. I forgot to vote for James Corden. I hate him so much. I don't suppose he would have made the list anyway.

     

    Nope, don't think he got a single vote actually.

     

    That's a good thing. Because he's the kind of twat that's such a twat that you just block his fat stupid existence from your mind.

  4. Liam Gallagher recently declared that La Roux has 'man hands' and said Billy Joe Armstrong could 'fuck right off' because 'I don't like his head'.

     

    Sorry, but I just can't hate this man.

    I'm torn here, because Liam and Noel's bi-annual assaults on various artists are funnier because Oasis are so fucking irrelevant. If they were awesome, it wouldn't be half as fun, and they would be 100% cuntfaced.

     

    I still remember a few years ago when they ripped into The Kaiser Cheifs, saying how shit they were, and how Ricky Wilson is a fat child of an excuse for a frontman. Wilson responded with words to the effect of "I'm just glad they know who we are, it's such an honour". That made Wilson a bigger fucking douche than both Gallaghers put together, in my eyes.

    Not really now. Arctic Monkey's and all the other indy bands have all stated their love for Oasis. They're pretty relevant for the first time in nearly a decade.

     

    It doesn't matter who likes them, I was more referring to the fact that they haven't wrote a new song since 1997.

  6. Although he can be a bit of a cunt sometimes, I think referring to Pete Doherty as a "self-described" poet is a bit inaccurate. He won a poetry competition that got him touring Russia when he was a kid, I'm no poetry buff, but those that are deemed him okay.

  7. Watched 28 Weeks Later for the first time last night. Enjoyed 28 Days Later and found this to be a perfectly acceptable film. There was a bit of over-reliance on the OHMYGODRUNREALLYFASTANDPLAYTHATMUSICWHILEPEOPLESCREAMANDDIE shots, but it was a good waste of time. I did feel like, towards the end, they had absolutely no idea where they wanted to go with it, which definitely made it feel more like a cash-in than a true continuation of the story. Still, I've seen much worse. It's a 6.5/10 sort of film, but in a pleasing way.

  8. Jennifer Aniston would come third on my "Best looking women who played recurring characters in Friends list".

     

    Okay, I can totally understand why people might not like her, but to suggest she's worse than Lisa Kudrow?? Come on.

     

    For an old(er) lady, Chandler's mother would get it all over though, I forget who played her, looks filthy hot in the first series.

     

    And yes to whomever else said it, Rachel of Series 1-3 is as good as it gets.

  9. That is the best description of Owen Wilson's serious "emotional scene" voice I've read so far. Well done sir. Marley and Me actually looked so bad in trailers that it hasn't made my list of romcoms. However, I am now curious to see it because your comments are so very damning. "Serving Sara" did such a great job of raising the bar for shitness that I feel the rest of the competition deserves a fair shout.

     

    I actually think Jennifer Aniston's attractiveness is vastly overrated though. She wouldn't make my top 100 lady celebrity list.

     

    I enjoy romcoms as well, they're my favourite waste of time films, so I have quite a high threshold for what annoys me about them. I can't recommend it, as such, but I'd enjoy sharing debate on it, I disliked it that much. I suppose I'd rather dislike a film that be indifferent to it.

     

    Forgot to post in my Marley rage, but also watched The Ex, a nothing romcom with Zach Twat from Scrubs, Amanda Peet and Jason Bateman. It's a rudderless, spineless effort with very little worth remembering, but Jason Batemen was excellent, I mean, a complete dick, and really deserved better from the director for his performance. The whole film just felt like a waste of everybody's time. Paul Rudd's turn as a dickhead boss was a pleasant surprise, but other that, it's just not worth it.

  10. Completely out of my hands, was this, but I had to watch Marley & Me yesterday. What an absolute abortion. Probably the worst film I've seen this year, if not the last few years. Not only is she fit, but I think Jennifer Aniston is pretty underrated as an actor, and yet neither of these two qualities were able to save this pile of shit. I hate Owen Wilson's stupid serious voice that makes him sound like a deaf guy with a snarl, and that fucking dog was doing my nut in. I'd have had it shot much earlier. I never ever want to see so much as a minute of this film ever again. Completely turd.

     

  11. I'd like to think that paragraph has opened the door for a few more of my fellow UKFFer's to open up and admit there love for the Dungeon of Doom.

     

    I wouldn't say the Dungeon of Doom as a whole, but there's something morbidly phenomenal about the Monster Truck match and Hogan & Savage vs Everybody Ever from Uncensored 96.

  12. Wasn't there a Hogan - Arn Anderson match from around this time, that Anderson actually won?

     

    And, if I'm not mistaken, a match in which Hogan had Ric Flair in a figure four the when Arn ran to break it up, pinned Anderson with an inside cradle, all the while holding on to the figure four. That's some grade A career killing there.

     

  13. I was watching Royal Rumble 91, and Piper was talking about how Virgil wouldnt have a job if DiBiase fired him. So in the wonderful land of Kayfabe, does this mean Virgil wasnt a WWF employee in the 80s or was he working for DiBiase on the fiddle?

     

    I think in Kayfabe terms, he wasn't a WWF Employee. Dibiase brought him in and paid him on the side. I'm not sure how tax and insurance was calculated, you'd have to get on to HMRC.

  14. :yinyang: See now i've never seen Oldboy, at the risk of sounding like an idiot should i give it a go?

     

    I Sky+ed it last night as it was on Film 4, but haven't watched it yet. I imagine it will be on again in their rotation though, so for free you might as well. People do go mad for it on here, can't all be bluster, can it?
