"a sequence featuring a man sucking excrement from the anus of a live rabbit" hmmm, I'd be quite glad not to see that. I like things that are "wrong" as long as they are funny but Dirty Sanchez sometimes forget about the humour and go for the plain sick.

aye Tubthumper, "Family Reasons" were stated as Crawford's desire to leave. There were rumours of a bust up with JC after the Queens Park game also but who knows......and who cares?!

Not sure Sam. I think they just like to do it their way because they are American! they'll be calling it the "Soccer World Series" next! I suppose football would benefit from having that sort of regulation on contracts so that there wasn't so many ridiculous transfer fees and salaries and the ever growing divide between rich and poor clubs. In the MLS there seems to be a lot more emphasis on "trades" and they also have a cap on the amount of overseas players allowed at one club. The sponsorship over there is pretty ridiculous though and as a result the teams don't seem to have any identity and clearly no history (as the teams change names and cities every second season!) I learnt all this from a brief obsession with www.metrofanatic.com following Peter Canero's transfer from Dundee Utd to NYNJ MetroStars (who are now Called New York Red Bull!). He's not very popular out there.

I've no idea how it works. If either player really didn't want the move would they be forced into it? Similar to Major League Soccer (that's in the USA!) where the league "own" all the players. Certainly a good deal for West Ham though, even if they do move on soon.

After Time Trumpet I switched over to the ITV News. Forgetting I had switched over, I was sitting there expecting something satirical when all of a sudden the newsreader announced "Tony blair believes that potential criminals can be identified..........before birth" This was a genuine news story! Crazier than Geldof ending death!

With Dailly playing right back, left back, centre back, striker, goalkeeper, long term injury sufferer

Sounds like fun. Take a camera down to Pittodrie and get the Dons on Red TV too. Get Angus the Bull to do some rock hands. If you like that sort of thing.

Mascherano (or something like that). Defensive midfielder? They will shine at West Ham. Wee soft spot for the Hammers actually, I just love Christian Dailly!

I catch half an epsisode some lunch times its on 4, like Family Guy it takes a couple of episodes to really appreciate the style of humour. Similar to Trailer Park Boys in that respect. Anyone watch that? Family Guy is still beter though Sorry if I've sullied your thread. ;-)

Gotta be happy with that I suppose. Hope Miller can start scoring quick or he's going to be unpopular. I see Keane has taken Varga and Ross Wallace to Sunderland and Lee Wallace the Hearts Left Back has appeared in court on gun charges. Mildly interesting.

So will it appear as a live gig or is it a music video sort of thing you're doing?

I agree there's a few tumbleweed moments in each episode. Nothing worse than dragging out a bad joke but I'm usually still laughing at there being "No News". What would you recommend by Iannucci? That new DVD? Has he written any good books?

Cool, give us a shout when it's on the box.

Particularly down Pittodrie way unfortunately which is a seperate debate altogether.

'At's Aiberdeen for you. Affa reserved fowks up 'is wiy ken...

I've never watched Sopranos yet but I reckon it looks right up my street. Would I need to borrow the box sets from series 1 to now to get into it? How many series are they on now? Rape a celebrity Ape, Ross Kemp on Fire and "No News" have made me laugh until I cry. The deadpan-ness of Ianucci's comedy is just brilliant - was he behind the Day today at all? The guy who is meant to be Jamie Oliver, haha, brilliant!

In case anyone hasn't seen this yet, it is on tonight at 10 on BBC2. I find it highly amusing in places. Certainly the best thing on cooncil telly at the mo. http://www.bbc.co.uk/bbctwo/programmes/?id=time_trumpet

I actually hadn't considered taping it until a few weeks ago - had totally forgotten about VCRs! So much so that I couldn't even get it working the other week. I hope this was because the VCR is broken and not just that I'm an idiot.

How did it go then Hog?

I'm foolishly looking forward to that!

Redemption TV! I watch far too much of that. When you don't pay your SKY subscription, it's that or "Chart Hits" and I marginally prefer unsigned metal bands recorded terribly than I do Liberty X or the likes! Will you get interviewed backstage by that skag whore looking lassie with her insightful questions such as "what sort of music do you like?" and "How would you describe your sound?". Good luck though and I look forward to seeing you and Drummonds on the TV!
