    I think it may of been a stretch but they mentioned something about 'case' being a tern to refers to the huts that blacks would live in.

    @Batard So being the resident Francophone, I've a question for you. Someone (a Frenchie) once mentioned that Lacazette's name can be roughly translated as 'the little hut' (with racial connotations). Not that it's the exact wording contracted by phonetically exactly the same.
  3. One of my friends looks like Franco. Well, more Dave than James.
  4. Deadpool A very entertaining action film that subverts a lot of typical superhero cliches. Ryan Reynolds stars in the first film that I didn't make me want to punch his face. I was kind apprehensive because I was worried Hollywood may have bastardised and missed the point of Deadpool's character but I was wrong, the writers and Reynolds bloody nailed it. The superhero genre has been wank for years now but Deadpool has breathed a little fresh air.
  5. You'd be over the moon and running out to purchase a brand spanking new 'Jelavic 9' kit.
  6. PSG's first result was a fluke, this was not.
  7. So out of curiosity, does Liverpool (and Everton) bring a lot of international tourism to Liverpool? An English (Bournemouth) friend of mine said that Liverpool really isn't as bad as it's reputation holds it up to be. I imagine that if it did bring tourism an extra 15k would only be good for the city at least.
  8. Does stadium size really have that much influence on a club? I'd a thought the money from Sky/whatever other sponsors would dwarf ticketing.

    You remind me of Davide Santon if that is you on the right (what happened to him?). Who is the other bloke?
  10. The 6-1 victory is so blown out of proportion. Oooooh, the most stacked team in the world with the absolute two best forwards in the world and another top five forward beat PSG. Gimme a break.

    He got the death penalty in '94. Lethal injection, not as fun as how the French did it.

    Yeah, I imagine he feels the same way now. I wouldn't ask him about it but I imagine he was so shaken up by the event he just wanted to forget about it. I don't think at the time he realised how dangerous the situation was. It's always easy to look back in retrospective but I couldn't imagine going through that at 15. I dunno about the situation, maybe they did report assualt but couldn't get the case to move any further.

    His schtick was teenaged boys. 14-18, he would rape and murder them. Usually kids that he worked with or at least somewhat knew.

    A man that murdered nearly forty teenaged boys in Chicago during the 70s. The infamous clown killer.

    I literally cannot stop thinking about the fact I know a guy that had John Wayne Gacy handcuffed! He let him go! That must've ate him up inside for a longtime. It was early in Gacy's murder spree, over twenty murders could've been prevented. It makes me sick thinking about it.
  19. It's Barcelona, not some two-bit team. I wasn't surprised at all.

    My wife told me that her former boss (and close family friend to our brother-in-law) was attacked by John Wayne Gacy as a teenager. Apparently he was hiring teenaged boys to work for his construction company. One day he attacked him but he managed to beat up Gacy and escape. He even had to testify on his trials. What the fucking fuck? From wikipedia Much of the labor workforce of PDM Contractors consisted of high school students and young men. One of these youths was a 15-year-old named Anthony Antonucci, whom Gacy had hired in May 1975. In July 1975, Gacy arrived at the youth's home while the youth was alone, having injured his foot at work the day prior. Gacy plied the youth with alcohol, wrestled him to the floor and cuffed Antonucci's hands behind his back.[110] The cuff upon Antonucci's right wrist was loose: Antonucci freed his arm from the handcuff after Gacy left the room. When Gacy returned, Antonucci—a member of his high school wrestling team—pounced upon him. The youth wrestled Gacy to the floor, obtained possession of the handcuff key and cuffed Gacy's hands behind his back. Gacy screamed threats, then calmed down and promised to leave if Antonucci removed the handcuffs. The youth agreed and Gacy left the house.[110] Antonucci later recalled that Gacy had told him as he lay on the floor: "Not only are you the only one who got out of the cuffs; you got them on me."
  21. My great-great uncle died in a dogfight during WW2. I don't know where he was stationed. On the other side of my family my great-great uncle is a legitimate war hero of the pacific. Escaped and rescued dozens of soldiers in Japanese POW camps. A book was even published on the old bastard.
