I started watching through the first season of Community the other day. I'm really enjoying it because I think all the main characters offer something to the show. The Halloween episode was hilarious.

With your help perhaps?
Â
Absolutely fuck off with this ridiculous shit.
Time of the month mate? Have a word.

You have a word. Your patter was shite and you got called out on it.

You're a nice guy but that was rank.

I've just finished reading The Fault in Our Stars by John Green. It was recommended to me by a friend; we're both starting teacher training next year and she is compiling a list of books that would interest young adults, so I've started doing the same. From Wiki:
Â
The Fault in Our Stars is the fourth solo novel by author John Green, in which a sixteen-year-old cancer patient named Hazel is forced by her parents to attend a support group, where she meets and falls in love with the seventeen-year-old Augustus, an ex-basketball player and amputee.Â
If you've read any of John Green's other novels, it's quite similar but he seems to have hit the motherload here. I am not one for becoming emotional when watching a film or reading a book, but this is really powerful. In essence, it is pretty much a romance story. I don't usually go for that kind of thing at all but the two young characters are extremely likeable and human. There are bits where it verges on cheesy but it's a heartbreaker. Think 'My Girl' with terminally ill teenagers. I'd recommend this. Fox have apparently acquired the rights to make it into a film, which will no doubt be Oscar weepy fare.

Last night proves that wrestling is a bigger draw than the Oscars *.

Folk still turning up for Oscars chat?

Is Jake Roberts clean these days? I notice on his Wiki that he entered into the rehab programme WWE started offering in 2007 but was curious to see if he was still sober/drug-free.

Am I right in thinking that this took place on a post-WrestleMania show that went on for about an hour after the show finished?I had school the next day and I ended up not getting to bed until about 5am. The same goes for WMXX but that show was 5 hours long. Any ideas why they had this/never had it again?Holly calls Cole a shit headFucking brilliant. You can't script that.

Now that I think about it, I can't believe he was never WWF Champion at any point.

My thoughts on the finale of Sherlock:
Â
<-- click on 'spoiler' to show/hide the spoiler
I think I'm easily pleased, but I thought it was bloody fantastic. Desperate for series 3 now. I know the show is clever and everybody likes to take a stab at working it out, but I'm a bit perturbed at the outcry for a forensic explanation into how Sherlock faked his own death. He's fucking Sherlock Holmes, that's how. End of story. In case you haven't noticed, the show isn't cinema verite or ultra-realistic. There has been quirky scenes throughout; his rescue of Irene Adler in 'A Scandal in Belgravia' and the sword-brawl he has with a Middle Eastern assassin INSIDE 221b Baker Street without Watson noticing in 'The Blind Banker' are examples.
Â
Also, whoever said it'd be a better ending if Sherlock was actually dead...what? Are you made of stone? If it wasn't revealed that Sherlock is still alive at the end, it probably would have been the most grim ending to a television show in history. Even though we know he done it to save his friends, who'd want Sherlock Holmes to commit suicide and leave a disgraced legacy behind? I have to admit being quite moved by Martin Freeman's performance in the last scene. I think he has been fine as Watson but he seems to get such tall praise for a role that I think is quite hard to focus on because Cumberbatch is so electric on screen. The grave scene was hard to watch.
Â
Bring it on!

I'm a bit late to the party with Sherlock. I studied some of the short stories at school and I liked them, and I'm a big fan of Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman but for some reason I never got round to seeing it. I picked up the first series on DVD last week for

Tonight is WWE's 145th and final PPV of the year, so there will be chatting in the chatroom!
Â
On the agenda:-
Â
* Who really runs the UKFF News Twitter?
Â
* Will Soap login as soon as I leave?
Â
* Which British porn star may or may not be dead?
Â
All this and more!
Â
Â
Whoops. Sorry.

I too got almighty drenched on the Maid of the Mist. It didn't help that some South American lady held onto me for dear life as we went under the falls. Why, I have no idea.
Â
For dear life, surely?
Â
Sorry, I should have clarified. She was with a group of her own friends/family. Why me?

SmackDown is live tonight, so there should at least be some nocturnal types in chat. Mark Henry VS Daniel Bryan in a steel cage for the World title. Also, the mission to get #powersboothe trending on WWE programming continues.

He'd have been called a mark, buried, rapped in the shower and beaten to shit by Bob Holly if he'd have paid $1500 for a fake belt a few years ago. The lose of The Undertaker, Benoit, JBL and Bob Holly has really changed the locker room etiquette.
Â
For the better.
Â
Ryder seems like he is having a great time, more power to him. I think he belongs on the show if he can make the role he's currently in his own - I don't think he is capable of main eventing any time soon, but he is over with the fans and is good fun.

Â
That is hilarious. It's as if Quentin Blake sketched the deterioration of Ric Flair's health for a Roald Dahl novel. Amazing.

When you consider that Matthew Macklin entered Germany a week prior and put in a performance the whole country could have been proud of yet 98% of the people that watched over the weekend never even knew that that fight happened you gotta know that something is seriously wrong and unfair.
Â
The difference is Macklin boxed superbly and was deserving of the win, probably only losing because of the judges being a mob of homers or the fact that Sturm had a good last round. Haye was an embarrassment in his pre-fight build up and performed admirably, but still way below par of what he promised or what was expected of him.
Â
I also don't believe in this whole "you have to support your countryman" bullshit in boxing. I'm prepared to accept that I'll lean towards a home-grown boxer if I think he deserves it, but Haye isn't worthy of my support. He is a talented fighter but he is an insufferable knob. I'm still disappointed that Klitschko didn't knock him out.
-
As far as the heavyweight division goes, I'm more interested in seeing how the Vitali Klitschko vs Tomasz Adamek fight goes than I am in seeing Wladimir beat Haye again.
Â
If Haye's a blown-up cruiserweight, Adamek is a blown-up light heavyweight.
Â
Wlad spoke like a complete cock. He's not good enough? He fought and beat the guy you wouldn't touch, you prick!
Â
Are you kidding me on? Haye has been running his mouth for months. It doesn't matter that he "sold the fight" - he is not a promo guy. See, this is the problem with wrestling fans. Haye should be embarrassed by the way he's conducted himself. He didn't have the tools to back up his ludicrous bravado and lost quite convincingly on the night. He has also further disgraced himself by blaming the loss on a relatively superficial injury.
Â
I fail to see how Wlad can be considered a bigger cock than Haye in this circumstance.
-
Haye was soundly beaten. Sky News' coverage of the fight post-weigh in on Friday was absolutely cringeworthy. Comparisons between him and Muhammad Ali are just about the most insulting thing I've seen in sport for years. There is no similarity between them: Ali was the greatest heavyweight boxer of all time and his trash-talking was done with style and charm. Haye is a knob who runs his mouth.

When he's older, I'll give him a scrap atop Metal Gear Rex if he's game then

I've heard this. Disappointing, but I'll keep going until it gets so shit it's unwatchable. I've gone through the first twelve episodes and I'm enjoying it so far.
