The One With Super Bowl XXXXXX

So it's the biggest game of the year... Chelsea versus Liverpool, with Torres pittin-... eh?

It's Super Bowl Sunday?

Oh.

That's kind of a big deal, isn't it?

The One Where I Swear A Lot To Prove A Point

Hmmm.... Pretty overwhelming in terms of being anti-censorship.

Gray unfollowed a racist last week. Sky got rid of a sexist.

The question is, is it OK to say what you want, when others are listening?

I've said myself over and over that I resent the idea of someone telling me what I can and can't do. On twitter, though? And on Facebook? I think there may be room for it.

Look at the way twitter got engulfed in the Kenneth Tong story.

Was that healthy? Should he have been allowed to get his message across to so many people, in such a short time? (His story is HERE, for the unitiated).

I'm not sure.

I'm also not so sure how you would police that particular example. What I would suggest is maybe a few yellow cards from other twitter users to flag someone up as a concern?

I'm accutely aware I have a potty mouth. Especially on twitter. Is that right?

I guess if you don't like it, you can just unfollow.

But it may be too late by then.

Again, maybe have it so swear words can't be typed? Like on certain video games, where you try and put your username in as "cockjugglingthundercunt", and it won't let you.

Or again, for those days where you just need to say "Fuuuuuuuuuuccccccck you", maybe you could have an allowance? 3 a day? Maybe 5? Clearly it gets complicated, and wouldn't work. If society banned swearing in general, people would just find other words.

Plus what would I do? I'd be fucked.

Cheers for taking part. This weeks vote is on both my site, and GCs. So go take part, you daft fuckers.

Also... No one was brave enough to tick the third box? Arrogant fucks.

The One Where We Vote On Sexism

This weeks vote had to be this. Yeah, it's been done to death, but its been a week.

That's enough time for some reflection, right?

So the question is... Were Sky Right To Sack Andy Gray?

Undecided? Heres some evidence...

This is the first time I've posted the Vote on GCs site - so cheers letting me do that, mate. 

The One Where You Forgive Sean For LOXG

Well holy shit for Sean Connery.

The vote is in, and unless Jax really did sit there hitting Connery over, and over, and over... well, it was pretty unanimous.

I'm not really surprised.

I have great memories of going to see The Living Daylights at Aldershots flea pit cinema, so I have a soft spot for Dalton. That said, Dad went to see Licence To Kill with out me, so fuck him. (Dalton, not my Dad. Obviously).

Then, I remember the re-launch of Goldeneye. Dad and I qued around the block to see it at Camberley. Great times, and for me, still up there as the best Bond film. Studying it during Media Studies at A-Level should have tarnished that. The fact it made me love it more speaks volumes.

Then Casino Royale kicked us all in the balls. QoS is underrated, (in a way similar to LTK, for me). And Bond 23 is green lit. Sam Mendes is in, which is awesome.

But lets not pretend we don't want a Tarantino Bond movie. Maybe with a Connery cameo...

Oh, and my favourite Bond film with Connery? Never Say Never Again. Deal with it.

The One Where We Vote On Twitter Censorship

Ryan Babel fined £10,000 for a RT of the above picture.

Silly boy.

Bringing the game into disrepute? Being unprofessional? Or just having a bit of fun?

So this weeks vote is... Should Twitter Be Censored?

Pop back tomorrow for the write up on Who Is Your Favourite Bond.

The One Where You Have To Go Back

So I said to GC that the vote for last week should be Should You Ever Go Back?

Strangely it became more and more relevant as the week went on...

The One Where We Vote Bond... James Bond...

Well about frickin time. Bond 23 is go. Sam Mendes directing Daniel Craig.

Bring. It. On.

This weeks vote then is fairly obvious...

Who Is Your Favourite Bond?






Write up for Should You Ever Go Back? goes up Monday night. Thatnks for all the Votes and RTs and Likes and that.

The One With Who Will Win The EPL In 2011

And so the votes are in...

I asked Who Did You Think Will Win The Premier League In 2011?

And here are the results...

Interesting, eh?

United are favourites, for sure. But look at the twists midweek.

The thought of Spurs lining up with Becks to try and shoot us down next week...

Look at the spending power and "allure" of City.

That there is next to know pressure on Spurs, and arguably City, as they are ahead of where they thought they would be.

I hope we win it. I really do. It's been the most exciting and open Premier League Season ever. And I don't want to have to deny that come May, if it's not us holding the trophy.

Don't forget to take part in this weeks vote, HERE.



Notice anything odd about the video...?

The One Where we Vote, Should You Ever Go Back?

So... Should you ever go back?

Where too?

You choose.

That dream holiday location. Scene of a crime. Anfield. It's ambiguous for a reason.

Thanks for voting.

The result for last weeks vote, Who Will Win The Premier League goes up tomorrow night.

The One With The First Vote Of 2011

It's always a big year, isn't it?

Next year will be bigger than this one, etc etc.

But has there ever been a better Premier League than this one? For the title run in, at least?

Lets kick this vote off, and seriously test whether it will work in this format...

Who Will Win The Premier League In 2011?

The One Where "Other" Is The Best Xmas Movie Ever. EVER!

OK. Confession time. My choice of Xmas movies was very tongue in cheek. The selection of "other" rolled on from my amazement about last weeks vote.

But I want to clarify two things.

One, if a film is set at Christmas, even if it involves Ho-ho-hoing with machine guns, it's a Christmas movie - or at least, can be.

Secondly, the same applies if a kid gets a little cute alien thing for Christmas... Even if that little creature thing turns into (many) psycho creatures. And they put each other in blenders.

Thirdly (bare with me), Love Actually is a beautiful film.

As far as Christmas movies go, I confess, it may be my favourite.

As I said in the original post - none of that A Wonderful World bollocks.

A Muppet Christmas Carol won outright, from "non-other" votes.

A Wonderful Life got two votes, from @Debsa and @DomCoke within a few seconds of each other - both saying that was the end of the vote.

Gremlins got two.

Elf got three.

Love Actually five.

This new smart phone App means anyone wanting to vote in 2011, will need to go back to the web based Blog - which you can still do on the App (at the bottom)...Actually, exciting news HERE, on 2011 votes. Far, far easier than before. Embedded into the post, and if you vote on your phone, your vote gets added to the main vote. It's what we've always dreamed of, KT!

So that's that.

It goes with out saying, thanks for bothering to vote, suggesting votes, liking votes, RTing votes etc.

If you want to put something to the vote, just DM me.

Ho-Ho-Ho, Merry Christmas. Now I have a machine gun.

The One With "Testing, Testing, 1...2...3"

Bit of an experiment this one... sorry for posting several attempts, and flooding your twitter feed.

This is exciting for me though. (I know, I know. I need a life. But humour me... Mrs T and ET aren't here tonight.)

So... this basically would replace the vote bar at the side. I'd probably have a big picture still, relevant to that weeks vote... but the tick box itself would be inside the post. Kudos to GC for that idea.

Crucially, though. It tallies up with the new phone app. So if I voted on there, it updates the post. Clever, huh?

Good luck to "other" in 2011, I say.

The One Where George Michael Gets Rap... Er... Out Of A Vote

You sons of bitches!

I had no idea the lack of love Wham!, Band Aid and The Pogues would suffer this week.

It was painful to watch.

To be fair, some of the other suggestions were class...

The One Where It's Christmasss, And We Vote (Again)!

Right, none of that A Wonderful Life crap.

This weeks vote is for the greatest Christmas movie, ever.

Die Hard. Scrooged. A Muppet Christmas Carol. Snowman.

Choose one!

If you went "Other", what did you want??

The One Where I Don't Really Like Elvis Or The Beatles...

Last weeks vote was based around a famous Vincent Vega quote...

"You're either a Beatles man, or an Elvis man".

So the vote was Beatles or Elvis.

I learnt a lot.

Beatles fans like the Beatles. A lot. I put this down to what I like to call The Shawshank Sheep Effect.

Elvis fans?

Well, if there is many, they aren't very vocal. Or maybe they're too cool to vote.

The One Where It's Christmasss, (And We Vote)!

Right, it's Christmas, so I'll throw in an "Other" option. But only because it's Christmas.

This weeks vote... these three. Choose one.

If you go "Other", I'm intrigued... what would you go for, above these beauties...??

The One Where It's Christmasss!

The Blogs about 8 months old, so you better believe I've waited to do this...

IT'S CHRISSSSSSSTTTTTMMMMAAAAASSSSSSSS!

My Top Three Christmas songs are the following... From Friday 3rd, until Sat 11th, we vote on what is the best one.

What happened last year, getting that utter shite to number one, really annoyed me.

If you want to flick the Vs at Simon Cowell, fine.

But get a Christmas song to number one. One of these three, for example.

The One Where Pixar Kicks Uncle Walt In The Nuts

So... If this vote proved one thing, it's that Classic Disney is loved by Smart phone users.

It got 9 votes to Pixars 4. Dreamworks with just 1. Which I blame Mrs F for.

On the site itself?

Total opposite. It's all about Pixar.

And that's the way I'd go, too.

I have a soft spot for Lion King. No idea why. And Beauty And The Beast, as it's Mrs Ts favourite. (Eh? It's like she's trying to live the dream... what? Oh. *shakes fist*)

Other than that - Ethan is growing up with Pixar. Oddly, my fave, Finding Nemo is the only one we don't have. I'll sort that.

Monsters Inc. and the Toy Stories? Well, they are timeless already, aren't they?

Pixar seem to be incapable of making a bad film, which is something Dreamworks will never be able to boast. God, ET does love Shrek, though.

Classic Disney? Well, Bambi and all the others stand the test of time.

But is that because we feel like they have too? Is it because we're told they are classics - that it's rammed down our throats?

I'll be honest, we bought ET all of the available Disney Classics on Blu. He's pretty "meh" towards them. On watching Dumbo I could see why. Although it did send to sleep, so I can't complain too much.

It's hard to argue against that being a technological thing.

And I suppose it's sad there is unlikely to be too many cel animated cartoons ever again. But when Pixar movies look as good as they do... can we moan?

Flash can say what he wants about the new Karate Kid, and how the transfer is the best he's seen... he can't have seen a Pixar movie.



I didn't make that video. But I probably would've picked that backing track. Random.

The One With The Battle Of The Bands

So, on Saturday The Ledgers, Ledgerettes and assorted Ledger Mascot will rock Wembley. With the greatest band of all time.

In the meantime, lets vote and see whose crown they took.

Musically, there have been some huge, HUGE music stars.

Lets pit them against each other in one of the greatest Battle Of The Bands, since Scott Pilgrim Versus The World.

Ladies and Gents, as Vince Vega rightly said, you're either a Beatles man, or an Elvis man. Or woman.

Whatever.

Vote!

The One Where I Come Clean About Take That

Well, well, well. On the Blog itself, Howard Something (Howard Donald?), actually got more votes than any other Take That member.

Mental.

Obviously, the fact there was only three odd votes meant that his odds were improved!

Looking at the App though, which didn't break this week - or revert to last weeks vote - (progress!), it's all about Gary Barlow.

And I love Gary Barlow.
