Can anyone explain the Annie Lennox / viking ship connection?

I forgot about George Michael . He played his NEW SINGLE ffs. It was even advertised on the TV this morning. They should have publically drug tested him for a laugh.

I see what you did there. Good ane.

Words actually fail me. Elbow were Elbow & that’s not a bad thing. Emile Sande – not made much use of the athletic facilities judging by the size of her arse. The Pet Shop Boys were wheeled out pretty quickly, which was a shame. One Direction – hopefully that direction is oblivion. Russell Brand doing The Beatles was a crime against humanity. Jesse J – singing “it’s not about the money” whilst being wheeled around in a Rolls Royce just about sums her idiocy up. Taio Cruz and Tinchy Stryder – token black performers. Kaiser Chiefs – I really, really wanted that moped to crash & for him to be badly maimed. At least they didn’t play a Kaiser Chiefs song, I suppose. Ed Sheerin playing Pink Floyd? Syd Barret didn’t die for this. Spice Girls – give us a smile, Vicky love. Eric Idle – managed to say “shit” in “always look on the bright side of life” which made him more rock n’ roll than anyone. Fatboy Slim – seriously? Is this 1997? Beady Eye playing an Oasis song says it all about Beady Eye. Muse seemed to have been booked for Berlin 1936 Olympics & the Nazis would have been proud. The Who – The Who. Pass. Ray Davis – “waterloo sunset” is too good to fail. Queen – not only have they scraped the bottom of the barrel but they’ve managed to dig a trench below it. The bassist is the best current member of Queen simply because he refuses to dignify this shit with his presence. Jessie J singing FFS. David Bowie & Kate Bush – too dignified to appear but had their music sullied by being used in their absence. John Lennon – where was the tribute to Ringo?

What about The Machinest (which he lost 27kg in weight for)? Or even The Prestige? Empire of The Sun?

I have a japanese made Squier Strat that I bought 18 years ago in, er, Buckie.

T In The Park 1998. That was another great gig - on in the pissing rain before Pulp closed the weekend. The third, and final, time I saw them was at Connect Festival in 2007. What a band. Unbelievable.

At 38m 17s there's a shot of me in the crowd..... Jungle Brothers & Bentley Rhythm Ace supported. One of the greatest gigs I've ever seen.

Shirley Manson's granny was from - and stayed into Grannyhood- in Portsoy. I'm guessing she's dead now so it might be worth checking Portsoy second hand shops for any CDs that Shirley may have given her. RIP Granny Manson (or whatever her name was).

Shamelessly pinched from R*****sMedia chatsite (which has made me laugh all this week) -

Cool story, etc.

From the Belgian lower leagues - sticker goes down in the box, gets stretchered off and gets a red card for his troubles. http://deadspin.com/5890870/unconscious-soccer-player-gets-red-card-for-diving Anyway, took him to hospital and he concussion and three displaced vertabrae. Who's the bastard in the black?

I'd hazard a guess that they've already something lined up - certainly Blackpool & Southampton are apparently interested in Wylde. Incidently, he was apparently on £7500 per week. Apparently reserve keeper Neil Alexander is on £12k-£14k per week. That works about at £96,000 per game that he has played.
