Oscars! They're on this weekend and another chance for actors to fawn all over themselves. They're actors! They act and tell stories. That is all! The world treats them like heros and they stand there in tears as if they've just achieved a miracle. <deep breath>

What pisses me off about the oscars is that the best movies never get the "Alleged" best award. Looking at the most treasured movies in history only a fraction achieved success at this backslapping bonanza. You won't have films like the Dark Knight or the shawshank redemption win even though they are brilliant just because it doesn't fit the "theme" of that year.

Load of senile old the boys the academy, all the awards will blatantly go to the silent film ****e this year
 
<laugh>

In all seriousness though who would really give a **** if Colchester United ceased to exist?

I don't think its a case of not caring its a case of not noticing

Colchester United could have gone out of business a month ago and no-one would have noticed.

And don't get me wrong, I left League one with a new found appreciation for the lower league fan. When you see Carlisle fans come clean across the country just to come to a match were we were guarnateed the trophy and they were guaranteed mid-table just so they could have a party with us and have a good time following their lads it gives you hope for the power of football. It makes you realise the real backbone of football isn't at Man United or Arsenal it's in crawley and Tranmere and Stockport. These fans are simply amazing and a credit to Football.

But Colchester, Colchester can go **** itself.
 
Getting to grips with debt? If you believe that you'll believe anything!! Attack the NHS and bash the disabled but when it comes to their own? A bank which is basically state owned makes a loss of 2 billion pounds and yet the Tory chums get £785m in bonuses. Don't come out with the crap that they will go elsewhere - if a 2 billion loss is the best they can do then good riddance. Was the Labour Party in charge of all the other Countries with financial problems? No - so there must be another answer and guess what it is - the Banks!!! The only things that the Tories do well is look after their own and con the electorate into voting for them. There is only one thing worse than this lot and that was Thatcher - I will join Ricky Tomlinson at his street party when that ******* moves on. Have a nice day.

Just to point out, Labour began the attack on the disabled - it was they who signed the contracts with ATOS, it was they who created the rhetoric of hate, it was they who cut the funding for mental health services and imposed the nonsense of CBT, and it was they who attacked the Tories original plan of treating all benefits claiments as individuals - but let's not let the facts get in the way.

I won't respond as I fully accept the previously expressed ' reprimand ' that this a Football Forum and not a Politics Forum.

unexpected item in the bagging area.

Call centres in general but BT in particular.

Not just call centres, but all COMPANIES that use overseas call centres utilising cheap labour !

No politics and you go and mention cheap Labour. In the spirit of balance I feel you should mention cheap Tory and cheap Lib Dem and to save space cheap Minority parties including UKIP.
