Meaning Evil. Stirring trouble

I've had digital encounters and he's always encouraging.
Good luck to him.

Which Ashley are you talking about here, Preece or Young?

I had to go back a couple of pages but glad you chaps had all the age inappropriate comments covered, good to see standards maintained while I’ve been busy

You're wrong. Only Connect is the best show on TV, possibly ever.

And what's more, this very fanzine was once a clue on it.

I like it, and it's possibly the best quiz show on TV.

*even if the missing letters round is the only round I'm good at.

I love it but I absolutely have to fast forward the singing. I cringe so hard that my balls retract so much they enter another dimension. I have no idea why she likes it so much.

The Claret and Blue youtube podcast is decent - but I'm not sure how Reach/Evening Mail make any money from it, as I can't see that it drives people to their website or the paper itself.

Even if it did drive you to the website, you'd better have a good adblocker!

If you get over a certain number of views per video (don't know what the number is) you get ad revenue straight from YouTube.

I auditioned to be on Only Connect once. It was for one of the early series, when it seemed like an attainable goal as not many people watched it. Me, my brother and my mate went up to Manchester one Saturday morning for it, but the night before we had got absolutely smashed in Snobs, so we were still drunk on the train going up. When we got there, they were running late, so we went across the road to a pub to 'settle our nerves'/top up the already dangerously high levels of alcohol in our systems. Anyway, when we got in there, before they started with the questions, we had to explain how we knew each other - what our 'connection' was. As team captain, my brother looked at me and said "well, he's my brother, so when I was 3 my Mum just brought someone home" to which I replied "yeah, and nine months later, I was born". The combination of alcohol and nerves led me to find this the funniest thing I had ever said, so I spent the rest of the audition chuckling at my own joke.

We didn't get on.

That's a great story

We do exactly the same.

It's the reason we never watch it live, we miss the first minute or two then watch from the start so we've got room to fast forward through the hideous singing parts, and the equally awful monologues she does, which are the least funny things on television.

excellent.

Someone from here was actually on it, I seem to recall.

Martyn Smith maybe?

Doesn’t Mastertwat have a ‘colourful’ background as an enjoyer of football?

Yep, convicted hooligan. They had one episode years ago where they had a challenge doing some catering in the kitchens for hospitality at Chelsea. He wasn't filmed in the ground, presumably because he's got a banning order.

I think I read he was in his teens on the only occasion he was nicked at Millwall, I'd guess he's in his early 60s now (?). Were there banning orders forty years ago and if so would they have lasted until he was presenting Masterchef? Only ever heard of 10 year bans.

Ther were bans then although they tended to be club-specific and not as long as there are now but it's good for the image innit?

Excellent, haha.

I can't remember the last time I heard one of her monologues either as I do the same and as soon as I know the score it's off before she can do her bit at the end. It's strange as I actually still really like her and I'm weirdly happy she's with David considering I don't know them.

Apart from sport though I never watch anything live. Entertainment shows have too much bullshit filler in them so I can say I like a show but really I've probably cut the run time by at least 30%.

The main headline in Birmingham Live today was around how all his little pals were congratulating Joe on getting to the CL final.  That belongs in the MEN not here you twats.
