What are 8/10s? Is it some sort of alcopop?
A girl who is 8/10 in looks and body. i.e. Susan Boyle would be a 2/10 and Megan Fox is a 10/10.

I only date 8/10's and 9/10's though (no 7/10's or below. yuck) because I don't want to be seen with a girl who is better looking than me.

A british 8 is like a rest of the world 6 though.  Megan fox's toe thumbs make her a 2 in my book.

Kendrick has just tweeted

@MatKendrickJust found out #avfc might do bit of business in and out before deadline. Chance to sign mystery target has emerged. Don't know who

It's all becoming clearer now he's handed in a transfer request.

Blackpool have turned down a bid of £6.5m for Adam from Liverpool and his father has slagged then off in the press saying 'Blackpool are a cheapskate club'- Adam said to be furious that the bid was refused.

Liverpool have confirmed that they have recieved a written transfer request last night fron fernando torres.

Seems like as kendrick says a mystery target has now become available for us ,I wonder who , Westwood? Coventry have confirmed they will sell him if their £1 .5m valuation is matched as his contract ends in June.

It's a little more complicated than you're all making out. You should really include a decimal place. We need to go into the tenths column.

For example, 8.7.

8 = how good looking they are (out of 10).
0.7 = how good you think they'll be in bed (out of 1).

You can't give them 10 unless you have actually booned them.

For me, Megan Fox would be 9.9, as she's pretty damn good looking and i reckon she'd ruin me in bed. Obviously I haven't thrown a fuck into her yet so can't give her a 10.

Of course you could go the other way and simplify it. One of my mates has the very simple rating scale of:

"yeah, motherfucker!" if he would.
"nah, motherfucker!" if he wouldn't.

Am I slightly off topic here?

I've just looked on a Liverpool forum, they are so deluded, they think they are better than everyone else, belittleing every other club.

So may I take this chance to say Ha Ha Ha Ha Fernando Torres Liverpool's number 9

Sweet Jebus! It's like I've walked into a Skysports technical rehearsal!
I shudder to think what's involved when you've "BOONED" someone? Can't get rid of the images of Michael Elphick and Neil Morrisey spit roasting Megan Fox now!

I think maybe Beye could leave? He is nowhere near the first team. Have no idea who the mystery in could be.

Is this booned as in gave them a blessing or booned as in delivered something by motorcycle courier?

Warnock out and a left back in perhaps?

I fear we're stuck with Beye for a while longer yet.
