Late night threads don't seem to be as good as they used to. But might as well give one ago.

There's a fair few of you about this evening. I didn't realise it was so late.

What you all be up to?

i just watched 2 hours of the mighty boosh live on youtube. now im going sleepy. night xx

Christmas Shopping,im determined not to go to a shop this year.

So far ive got a Wii dance mat with High School Musical thingy,a Dublo Combine Harvester and a In the Night Garden Play Doh thingy.

In the Night Garden is fucking ace. It is the CBeebies thing yeah? Chilled out, easy to watch, yet strangely creepy, all at the same time. Masterful.


I went to see the new live Boosh show about a month ago in Brizzle. Was pretty good. More music and random character playing about and less mad surreal story than the last one, but still good fun. I understand why people don't like The Mighty Boosh but I love the bizarre surrealism of the whole thing. It's like a pantomime for adults. Sometimes it misses the comedy mark a bit, but when it gets it right it's awesome.

im watching charlie brookers screenwipe. im constantly amazed at how i am starting to sound like him day by day.

I watched that yesterday morning,think I fell asleep before the end though.Think i'll write an award winning comedy it sounds quite easy.

Charlie Brooker is ace. He's sort of my idol. The writer one last night was really interesting. I'm going to start posting loads of sketch scripts to the BBC in the hope of getting a job.

The way he cuts in observations is ace, the bit in the first episode of the new series when C4 news (actually might have been BBC, can't remember) did their opening bit with loads of drama about the Brand-Ross thing and then cuts to the "also" genocide in congo (or wherever, that's really bad) was awesome and chilling at the same time.

There hasn't been a classic on the level of the "news special" screen wipe last series though. That was ace, especially the mini-documentary done by Adam Curtis. I think he's doing a new spin-off show called News Wipe starting early next year. Sweet.

The first time Charlie Brooker was on Have I Hot News For You, Ian Hislop came out and said after that he was the most intelligent person ever to have been on it. As I said before, he's sort of my idol.

tim key came to my club last week and i tried to chat up his older sister :)

Niiiiiccccce

Is he a Brighton bum boy then. He looks pretty scary. I like his Charlie Brooker poems, although it takes me a second listen to understand what the fuck he's on about.

dont think he is, didnt say to him "youre the shit bit on screenwipe"

if he is anything like his sister hes well endowed.

by the way, cracking match on setanta 2 at the moment copalibetadores internacional v estudiantes, gone to extra time, argies v brazil. cracking atmosphere.

i got thrown out of the union for abusing the dance-off judges. we (cricket club) clearly owned it.

Uni sports teams are almost always complete knobheads.

uni sports teams =  public school tosspots. good work dave, would hate for you to turn away from being a complete fucking cuntflap :)

Unlucky davey boy I played for Bath RFC and oxfordshire in cricket, rugby and football.

goal in the football by the way.

by the way are you taking the piss out of me going to football with my dad? is it not down with the kids?

I had fun when I was at uni in Exeter. Full of the cunts who couldn't get into the better uni's even though their parents had wasted loads of money on them. They all joined the Rugby teams of course, and how they loved their drinking games, which either end up with them getting pissed really quickly and going home, or conveniently pacing their drinks so they're drinking slower than everybody else.

Before I knew they were all cunts, and still trying to make new friends during the early months in my first year. I bumped into Pisshead Dan. Dan was actually a nice chap when you got him on his own. He was from Oxford and we had a bit of banter about it even though he knew nothing about football. He'd got the name "Pisshead" from his new rugby mates because he'd been the only one to pass the initiation drinking without puking (the night out bit, not day before when they make everybody eat dog/cat food. What is it with public school kids and the need to make everybody eat petfood?)

Anyhoo you can see where this is going. I drank him under the table blah blah blah brag brag. But I didn't even know it was a competition. He bought me a pint and I bought him one back, I thought we were just doing rounds. Then he crawled under the table and was sick on my feet. Good times.

Yes but you've picked out one example for the rugby club, everyone knows rugby club members are mugs. On the other hand cricket/golf/footy clubs are obviosuly brilliant and would drink you under the table.

so which one am i lying dave? im intrigued to find out which one is bollocks? im sure if you could bring yourself to ask my uncool father he would back me up.

I normally pay for my dad dave.

silence from dave?

hope you do well in your test at 9am tomorrow.

It was a while ago, but from what I remember. The footy club was pretty quiet on it's nights out, but I had a mate who'd had trials for southampton who quit because it was ran as a Rugby Team side project, and you didn't get a place above the 4th/5ths unless you knew someone / had played in one of the rugby teams

Don't know if there was a golf club club, I presume they had the dignity to keep themselves quiet.

I knew two people who both quit the cricket team, although for separate reasons. One dude who was a Sikh, and didn't feel comfortable with the drinking culture and got frozen out. Another mate who just thought they were all knobs, I think he had represented Wales at some youth level. I was under the impression that he was pretty good anyway. I don't know much about cricket though.

uni rugby teams are cunts full stops. all other uni clubs/societies are cunts, unless you are part of them

dave, never claimed to be a great sportsmen, however i did play for Bath and i did represent my county in 3 different sports, what went wrong? Nothing went wrong, it bored me. Started playing for Bath and 99% of the people there took the piss because i was from swindon. couldnt be fucking bothered.

The choice between running round a freezing cold rugby pitch in winter or doing a pill and going to see the roses at the bierkellar with some fit bird from marlborough was  not a tough call.

I'm not actually sure what I'm getting at to be honest. Possibly all the sports teams that I ever had any contact with were very up themselves for the wrong reasons. I guess the rugby (and maybe the cricket team, I know fuck all about cricket) are suffering from the professionalism of their sports. If the top players of these uni teams were any good then the players wouldn't be at uni.

I guess it's tough on them that they've become more pathetic than they were before. Now they're not even that good at the sport they like to build they're culture around.

why you deleting your posts dave?

I'm from Marlborough (sort of) which fit bird did you shag? I suppose she's gonna be knocking on a bit but I'd love to smash a Mex Red reject.

read 'em back. decided my being drunkenly obtuse for the sake of it wasn't really that great.

dream on sunshine. if she was a football team shes real madrid to your oxford.

I've got no idea what you're on about either.

The not-that-good argument doesn't stack up thoug, purely based on down here, the first XI cricketers would walk into any county side, the first XI footballers would walk into any League 2 (maybe 1 side) and I'm the "worst golfer" in our team and I play off 5.

but she's bound to have lapsed over the years? maybe derby county to my oxford, at best.

last i heard she was modeling, katiecant remember her surname, she runs a publishing company in west kensington. randomly bumped into her a year ago on the tube. lived behind the high street in a fuck off big house.

That could be my mother, bar the modelling/name/publishing lark.

What's this about a 9am exam?

is your mother 32?

thought you had an exam at 9am

Nah she's about 43 I think.

I do. MCQ though, a bonus indeed.

Are we still friends? xxx Here I was looking at old stuff on here the other day you were meant to be my mentor with Oevil Red looking after Walrus. What's on there then? Can I inherit your club?

Aww I missed stuff.

ive quoted that so you cant fucking delete it. no. fuck off you queer and go to bed.

why did you qoute it? its not embarrasing or owt?

he has been deleting stuff, dave is a little drunk and emotional, hes tired and its been a long day. half an hour ago he was having a pop at my old man :)

What makes you think the first XI footballers would walk into any League 2 (maybe 1 side)? Does your uni have a team in the football structure like Team Bath? Or are they above that for some reasons?

At least I had enough about me to delete it, however yes I'm quite smashed and reacting badly to the abuse I've taken for merely getting chucked out of my own effing union. FWIW our dance routine was killer and we got robbed.

I never had a pop at Mex Snr he's lush (and I used those exact words)

Dunno, they're good though.

It's easy to start uni and desperately want to make friends. But don't get so defensive about your sports clubs just because your a member. Find proper friends who you share interests with, other than twatting a ball about. Once you reach the next year you'll realise that you hate all the sports cunts enough to make the new ones eat pet food or do something else stupid.

I guess what I'm getting at is that don't fall into the trap of defining your uni life by your membership of a team. A group of people that all you have in common with are a sport, some drinking games, and some bollocks initiation, is not a reason to feel connected to people. I saw a few people (who eventually up as mates) fall into that trap.

Playing the same sport, and because of that, going on the same nights out, isn't a reason to be mates with people. You'll only end up being miserable and grasping to the "team spirit" thing because it's all you've got .

Night.

the lacrosse team is quite heavy from what i've seen

to be honest, all cricketers with enough intelligence will go to university then pursue their cricket career in the summer holidays/after uni. eg. monty panesar went to loughborough

Dave that is utter tosh about the football.

In my first year the firsts won the league (beating team bath home and away) and the highest any of them played was Sutton United.

if they 'would walk' into League 2 clubs then why aren't the Team Bath players joining league clubs? because the standard isn't all that much higher from decentish Saturday league stuff.

I was fucking caned when I posted that me old fruit.

fucking love you dave.

i saw reg's avatar in a pub

Did you bump into Reg?

 Wasn't out...after Friday's excesses, the old body was telling me a quiet one was in order.   Shame I'd have liked to have seen SY in the pub, could have given him a game of arrars. (darts)

Mr Sanchez won the darts.

 Did he give anything away about the management situation?

Don't know. I was pissed.

where did you all fuck off to? I had an ace night, got in at half eight this morning :)
