  1. Big Business - Battlefields Forever.

     

    http://bigbigbusiness.bandcamp.com/album/battlefields-forever

     

     

    I have waited for this album for what seems like forever, its good.............very - very good. A bands fourth album being their "best" is near unheard of, so that's a bold statement, but its definitely the most instant. I am currently sat on my sofa drinking beer punching the air at least 3 times a song. They're absolute riff machines I love them.

     

     

    9/10 only because its not finished yet.

  2. Brandy.....nah, I just went Becks, was toying with Old Speckled Hen but .....I fear change.  Other differences were Sainsburys 79p Garlic and something tomato passata and a tad of nutmeg and oreg'no..... as our fellow Yooo Ess A'ers say.

  3. Before any Stoke game, the referee should just write Wilson Palacios and Robert Huth's name in the book before kick off. Save a precious 5 or 10 seconds later in the game. It's just a certainty.

     

    Wilson Palacios could have been sent off twice. That gaptoothed lump fucking loves a two footer.

     

    Have to agree, i've been a lifelong Stoke fan but I find Huth embarrassing when I watch us, he's crap. It was undoubtably effective under T.P and I used to find his blatant skulduggery a little bit funny, obviously not the nasty bits ( hides behind sofa )  simply because he got away with it, play to whistle n'all that.

     

    Its a bit out-dated now especially since all the other teams are vastly improved, Norwich gave us the absolute run around a few weeks back. Sunderland and Palace are clearly hopeless so fingers crossed at least one of them are done already cos I fear a relegation battle looming.

     

    I was over in Munich earlier this year just after they cleaned up, and got speaking to some folks over there and they were saying that he's still in the wreckoning for the international side, they found it piss funny, I thought so too.

     

    Palacios is a mystery to me, an absolute mystery. I was over the moon when T.P signed him, but he's encountered the famous Stoke city "ability vacuum" since he arrived and has barely started a game. Heard a rumour his brother was murdered in some gangland thing in Honduras, dunno if that owt to do with it.

     

    United have a plan, of that I have no doubt, I think Moyes will be given time and will do a more than decent job of it, hopefully with some decent local talent, hats off I like Moyes.

  4. Here's my chilli recipe:

    500g lean minced beef.

    Large tin of chopped tomatoes.

    Small tin of kidney beans.

    1/2 large onion, chopped.

    2 crushed garlic cloves.

    1 bottle of beer.

    Tomato puree – either one of those wee tins or half a tube.

    2 teaspoons cumin.

    2 teaspoons of hot chilli powder or 3 teaspoons of mild chilli powder.

    1 teaspoon of salt.

    1 teaspoon of pepper.

    Couple of pieces of dark chocolate.

    Soften the onion in a decent sized pot, then add the mince and brown.

    Add the garlic, cumin, chilli powder, salt and pepper and mix.

    Add the chopped tomatoes, tomato puree and beer and stir while bringing to boil.

    Reduce the heat to a low simmer, cover the pan and cook for 50 minutes.

    Drain and rinse kidney beans and add to the pan along with the chocolate and stir.

    Cook for a further 15 minutes.

    Once it’s ready, let it cool and store in fridge overnight.

    Next day, reheat and serve with boiled rice.

    It can be eaten straight away but it tastes f**king amazing leaving it for a day.

     

    I must say, this thread is one of the best on here.

     

    I've tried a few of the recipies, notably this ( someone posted a burger filled with cheese and that was pretty immense too ) and the hot wings one. Its a toss up between these 2 which is the best, think this just nudges it. Beer - chocolate - meat - chilli..............fucking hell.

  5. Love this.

     

    I bought Fergie's first autobiography, and it was an enlightening read, but I am well up for reading the new one; it sounds like it could be pretty acerbic and revealing. I've been reading about some of the key criticisms made in the book, and the reaction of Roy Keane was amusing; I could imagine the tone of voice and the stoic look as I read the transcript. I loved Roy Keane as a player, but his player management and tactical skills really do leave a lot to be desired. He's kind of constantly pissed me off in his post-playing days. For the record, his autobiography is pretty good.

     

    Can anyone recommend a really good football autobiography? I love reading them, and I can personally endorse Graeme Le Saux's and the two mentioned above, should any of you fancy a read. Willie Miller's is a bit shit.

     

    Brian Clough - Provided you dont kiss me

     

    A journalists portrail of following Brain Clough around football grounds over 20 years bascially being verbally abused by the great man.....in a truly Brian Clough way of course, seriously though. Fantastic read!

  6. Quote from Fergies autobiography ......the Man Utd Fergie, not the singer of the Black eyed peas, maker of tractors or princess of....twatshire...or somewhere.

     

    "What was your highlight at Manchester United?"

    "Finding out Gary and Phils dad was called Neville. Neville Neville......"

     

    Brilliant.

  7. I agree. I always want to dislike DiCaprio, because of tosh like Titantic and whatever else he did earlier in his career, when he was teen-girl-bedroom-wall fodder. He's been great in alot of stuff in recent-ish years though. 'Catch Me If You Can' being my favourite of his. His character was excellent. And Samuel L played a great bumbling sidekick. I don't think I've seen him play a character like that before.

    I was sad Dr Schulz died. He was so cool, but his death was fitting, as he turned and expected to be shot. So badass.

     

     

    For a bit of perspective, I watched Reservoir Dogs straight after it. I've only seen it once before, and thought it was okay. That opinion still hasn't changed. It feels like a whole lot of nothing really happens. I like how unhinged Madsen's character is, but little else.

     

    Also, why does Nice Guy Eddie die at the end? It's a 3 way stand off. Joe shoots Orange who is already dying. So White shoots Joe. Eddie shoots White. Nobody shoots Eddie, but he dies anyway.

     

    Haha my brain is still mashed from the Australian and Tarantino playing a cockney!! ( possibly Australian ) :) Been years since i saw Res-dogs, has to be well worth another scan!!!.

     

    Dr Shultz is probably Tarantinos best character, im gonna do Halloween as dr Shultz. Yes.

  8. Django Unchained

     

    I'm not really a Tarentino fanboy. I like Pulp Fiction and Jackie Brown. I'm not all that fussed about the rest, except for Inglorious Basterds and Deathproof, which I haven't seen yet. I think this is the best I've seen so far though. Great cast and characters. From watching it, it didn't feel like a typical Tarentino film, as you don't get to see anyone in the boot of a car, though the gun fights are as you'd expect. When someone gets shot in the head, they pretty much explode. Anyway, great film, with a surprising amount of LOL moments, which I idn't expect. Even Jonah Hill has a minor role. Django and Dr Schulz are badass.

     

    Just watched Django myself and thought it was fucking brilliant. I'm not a big film watcher...at all really, but i'm pretty convinced Tarantino is my favourite...maker of...films.

     

    It didn't seem as all over the place as the others i've seen. A lot more "meat and drink". One thing i would say is, I have NEVER felt so uneasy watching a film, ever. The N-word was used so much i'm not sure if it was way beyond excessive or a stroke of genius because by the end i was hoping for at least another half an hours worth of Django vengeance!!! As much as you could dislike the "baddy" characters, DeCaprio is fucking brilliant in it!

     

    Great film, its long but i would gladly watch again no worries!

  9. Red Fang - Blood like Cream.

     

    Like a bit of R.F me, the first record / e.p was a bit in and out as you'd expect to be from a band that had recorded something in a few different places over a fair period of time, but i always thought they had RIFFS and amazing guitar tone ( Fender and Sunn 0)) Beta Leads!! ooffft!!! ) and great vocal hooks, exciting to hear a band like that, less polsihed than Baroness ( and generally better ) and more listener friendly than the Melvins. ( but no where near as good ) = WIN!!

     

    Murder the mountains was a strange debut album for me, as i expected to be fantastic, instead it has a few fantastic songs on it and a few .....meh ones. Still, great guitar tone and awesome vocals, and some great RIFFS.

     

    This is the record i wanted to hear from them, all of the above just no.... MEH moments. Mike Sheindt from YOB doing a guest vocal, never a bad thing!!! Only slight thing if i was being picky would be the double layered vocals has gone, i loved that before, it gave it that little bit of an Ozzy feel i kinda like, but hey, its hardly noticable.

     

    Good album 8/10

  10. Boris - Akuma No Yuta Probably the fucking heaviest record I've ever heard, in so many ways that aren't entirely obvious. Particularly the title track. 'nuff said.

    Actually, not 'nuff said, watch this video of them live. SO FUCKING HEAVY.

    (go to 1:00 minute to experience pure fucking TONE!)

     

    This album is crazy good. Their drum tone / sound is unreal too. 26' bass drums should be made law.

  11. My opinion is that anyone who doesn't see Lampard as much more than mediocre footballer is merely being a contrarian.  His records and statistics alone signify a top player, or as some might say "world-class."  Who are you comparing him to? 

     

    No one? im comparing him to no one.

     

    Whatever anyone thinks are the "greater qualities" of Frank Lampard Junior ( I personally think he's dreamy :) ) all i was saying was that his international form has never matched his league form, which for an England fan I find frustrating, rest assured he's not on his own, and certainly not the worst, or some would argue, 100% "to blame" for that, I have mixed opinions.

     

     

    Alas......today I found.................... I was wrong :dunce:
