Off Topic thread *time to say goodbye*

bombidol

Ok so its been suggested that we have an off topic banter (OTB) thread just so people can talk amongst themselves about things not related to PW. So we'll give it a shot. Maybe if people get to know each other a bit better then the forum can gain some self respect.
So talk away but keep wrestling talk to the outside world. This is just for talking about day to day stuff.

Eva L is a fine lady indeed but Nicolette Sheridan is well fit for her age. I bet she's capable of teaching most of us a few things. Durty

Playing Guitar Hero World Tour and finishing GTA IV. The final revenge mission is a chore to repeat again and again though.

It's ghey.

That any self respecting () man should be ashamed of liking such drivel, unless it is purely for oogling ass .

I for one will be hoping the Munster game is such a walk over for NZ that those idiot Munster fans will finally give up going on about some meaningless win in some meaningless friendly 30 bloody years ago. Honestly, are Munster rugby fans the most irritating shower of automotons on Gods green earth? The answer to that is yes. FFS, the Munster Supportets club choir will be "singing" on the pitch before the game, and no doubt the rest will follow with the Fields Of Athenry, a song about a man in Connacht who had to steal to feed his family. Can anyone tell me exactly why this song is identified with Munster? Has a Munster fan ever known anything other than privilege and ostentaion? The mind boggles. HEEEAVE :rolleyes:

Hmm, do you really think so? Let's take a look at it - it's a show with a cast largely consisting of some damn hot females.

Sports entertainment on the other hand has a cast mainly comprising semi naked muscle men.

Oh course you are right, Desperate Housewives is totally "ghey" unlike sports entertainment which could never be accused of having the slightest homo-erotic overtones whatsoever.

Red Sleeping Beauty

I don't thionk I've ever watched a GAA match in full. The closest was when it was on a telly in hospital a few years ago when I was bed ridden after surgery.

I've never been to Croke Park.

I think it's spelt that way in the charter actually. I'm not a huge fan of it and I think that's the first time I spelt it like that. I suppose it's a bit non offensive to the homosexual folk ?

What's a "turdanerd" ?

Well unless your girlfriend is the insanely jealous type who will be checking all you posts here I don't see whats so wrong with saying that you also find other women attractive too especially when they are TV stars you are never likely to ever meet! And I just don't buy that "I only have eyes for her" BS either.

A turd is a lump of sh*t that sits there, smells and does nothing
A nerd is often a lazy lump of sh*t that sits in front of a PC guzzling junk food down his throat for countless hours, sometimes getting paid for it.

Turdanerd is born folks!

What does Shawnraven's user name mean ?
Does he like Shawn Michaels and raven and what to have their offspring ?
Is his name Shawn and he really likes ravens? Or wants to be one ?

Thank Christ! I think I may have found my soul mate! There is NOTHING more annoying than a Munster rugby fan. Oh wait there is, two munster fans. "Ireland by birth, Munster by the grace of God." Is such unmerciful drivel. This bloody devine right that know more about rugby just because they're from Cork or Limerick. I played rugby for Leinster but because I'm from Longford, my opinion doesn't count, or isn't as valued as theirs. It's my major pet hate. I also hate people from Cavan, Kilkenny, Galway, etc supporting Munster. You're from cavan, support Ulster. Kilkenny, look for Leinster, Galway check how Connaught are getting on in the Magners for the love of God.Supporting the Irish doing well will the argument thrown back at me but that Munster team is getting so far from being Irish it's ridiculous. I support Leinster, Munster are our biggest rivals so I'd sooner see them lose than win and that will be he case tonight.

I can however answer the Fields of Athenry query. The Athenry they refer to in the song, is Athenry in Waterford and not Galway.

The OTB page is phenomenal.

Oh i know this one! i know this one!!
You're half right, the first part.

I hate Scott Levy with a passion though, if there was an award for the worlds biggest knob jockey, he'd get the win in a record amount of time.

I play bass, and one bassist who i had a lot of respect for passed on last year was former Killing Joke and Ministry bassists, Paul Raven.

So i combined the two names together.

Firewalkwithme

Hey Shawn, what do you think of Tony Levin?

Red Sleeping Beauty

But that Johnny Polo guy was so cool. He was teh sex (sic) :pac:

Was your previous user name anything to do with music ?
I quite like Killing Joke actually. I got that single "Love Like Blood" on vinyl either at the record fare last year or in Glasgow earlier this year.

I don't find them atttractive. That coupled with thinking the show is crap sorta leads to me giving it the ghey award

No it didn't. Just came to the top of my head
(What's with peoples obsession with my nicks? :pac:)

The entire Night Time album is one of my favourite Killing Joke albums, always disappointed me that either Love Like Blood or Eighties (That Nirvana blatantly ripped off for Come As You Are and nearly got sued for it only Cobain had killed himself and Coleman dropped the lawsuit) was never featured on the GTA Vice City games.

The wheels will fall off for Liverpool around Christmas I reckon. I just don't see them as legitimate contenders compared to Chelsea. In fact, I don't think they will even finish 2nd.

I've heard concerns about it alright. There were rumours going around that Fox was blaming Sarah Connor Chronicles for PB's poor numbers in the ratings (it's on before PB). Now Sarah Connor Chronicles has been moved to Fridays for Season 3, a night where TV Networks send shows to "die".

Red Sleeping Beauty

I'm pissed off that only channel 6 show Sarah Conner. And even more so that they're only showing series 1.

*Am in the realm of 16channels atm*

TV3 are showing Season 2 ain't they? I just watch it online though.

Red Sleeping Beauty

Online ? pffft!!

I haven't watched Sarah Conor Chronicles yet. Might give it a go some time.

Now Lost, can't wait for the new season. Sure alot of the mistery is gone but people would be complaining if they didn't give away any answers. Also, Battlestar Galactica, that show is awesome.

And I play Xbox Live, currently gaming Too Human (sucks), Gears 2 and fallout 3. Looking forward to the new NFS, need an arcade racer hate the rubber band AI in Midnight club LA.

That's the best way to view it and when a gem of an episode comes along like the Desmond time travel one, it feels so good.

Indeed, what a great episode. I really enjoyed There's no Place Like Home Part 1 & 2, so many possibilities came out of that finale.
