Went to Chicago Bears game yesterday and got outrageously drunk.

No one is saying it isn't but someone is denying their compliance!

The mental gymnastics bandwagoners go through . How is that Edmonton 97 sweater fitting around your bloated gut?

What a silly thing to say. If you aren't a fan, don't bloody well follow it up by stating you are a fan. Get a grip mate, I'm fond of some teams that have been put together but I'd never say I am a 'fan', which implies supporting. For instance, I enjoyed watching Barcelona for a while but I didn't care if they won or lost, ergo I wasn't a fan. You were a fan because you cared about the results.

Cheers nonga, I can't wait to get tongue cancer.

@Berserker I found some mate in the cupboard but I can't find any gourds around, even for sale. IS there a way to brew it in a ceramic mug?

I am jealous. Wife found some black pudding though, I'm excited.

I love German sausages and food (my wife and I often make spatzle and rotkohl) but sometimes I don't want a brat, because it doesn't have the comfort of childhood memories like a beef sausage does. I grew up eating it so it's a comfort food, ya know?

I can't find a decent butchery anywhere. No black or white pudding for me, I can't even bloody well find a decent morcilla. I just want good ol' fashioned food, I want a sausage roll, a meat pie, a REAL scone, a decent pint that isn't $9 and loaded with hops, a NORMAL PORK OR BEEF SAUSAGE that isn't choc-a-bloc with Italian spices ( does America have any concept of a sausage that isn't Italian, Polish, German?) Cor fucking blimey mate, I'm losing my mind over here. I'm fucking sick of pancakes, hot dogs, burgers, tacos, burritos, tamales, miscellaneous east-Asian foods, the same fucking deserts at every restaurant (cheese cake, ice cream, creme brulee, key lime pie), shitty apple pie, cinnamon on everything, overly-sweet biscuits

Got a job m8s

I hope not. It'd be terrible for La Liga and great for Barca! I agree with Rebel that he wouldn't be the best fit; I think he and Messi would get in each other's way.

That is fine. If it works, it works.

Fucking hell cunt, you fed your cancer ball to Canna's mum? That is Tanksie granddad snorting level shite right there. I'm in over my head with you cunts.

Are you sure aren't confusing this with a gloryhole? Filthy. Disgusting.

jokes the boys are fucked lamo

1. Brisbane 2. As if I care lmao

Instigating more change in my life. I'm definitely trying to turn a leaf. I'm going hard learning Spanish and now I've started my couch to 5k goal. If only the ball and FAT would join me.

You cant post this and not give me the skinny on it!

I bought that book when I was in Petoskey (Hemmingway's home for a long time) and I do not remember what I did with it. I did not read that novel and it irks me that I didn't, I adored 'The Old Man and the Sea', so I'm sure I'd enjoy 'For Whom the Bell Tolls' as well. The CIA robbed America of a literary genius. Bastards. I find myself falling in love with a country I've never been to.

@SirBalon @Kowabunga Mind recommending me some material on Franco and la guerra civil? I was at bookstore today and I couldn't find a single piece!

It could be a largely cultural thing. Remember there is truth to every stereotype and Mexicans have 'lazy' as one of the less desirable stereotypes. Though, it could be that all the hard working Mexicans already live in the States chasing the economic dream. They bust ass too! 14 hour days landscaping is no picnic.

Speaking of ex-Barcelona Mexicans, I really hate how the talented dos Santos brothers would rather be playing MLS than South-American or European football. @Teso dos Bichos

There has always been this quiet hype around Christensen. He'll make the grade, I'm sure (that isn't a bold statement). Hopefully next year, RLC and Christensen are nailed on starters.

Planning a trip to the best country in the world for next year. If anyone wants to meet up get your applications in now!
