I listened to about 20 Mayo&Kermode podcasts, then I realised that about half of the content consisted of running jokes and pretencious emails, so I dropped it

The emails from listeners are so bloody annoying. That's why I just watch the reviews and interviews on youtube, as they generally cut all that crap out.
 
Well known gaffers are generally cool people eg Fady.

GAF celebrities are annoying tossers that keep saying annoying things to stay in character and be "cool" eg Blame Space.

I never really noticed a consistent theme in blame space's posts to the extent that he was universally regarded as a gaf-celeb

Internet fame is meaningless. A friend of mine here in Japan is a fucking icon online – he has legions of people who practically worship him on Gaf, many other forums, and Facebook.

In real life he's quite miserable. He spends all his time online now. He's pretty much given up his real personality in favor of his Internet persona.

Average email:

Dear Simon and the Good Doctor,

Having recently become a father, one can't help but find a decent amount of spare time to be an exceedingly rare occurence. Due to this abject change in life situation, one has found himself increasingly often going to the local cinema, in which the screens are empty enough for I, the wife, and the newborn son to sit in peace without the constant worry of interrupting another fair cinema-goers experience, which should always be delectable.

Having seen first-hand the sparse attendance at the cinema, one wondered to himself what Mark would do to strike the almost impossibly fine balance between audience comfort, and cinema profitability?

We called the baby Mark btw, and his nickname will be skiffle lolololololololol

Thank you for your time

James Jameson

PS. Hello Sophie, I'm on the radio





I mean, who the fuck communicates like that?

Odd why are you talking in third person?

I've personally been a long time advocate of buying back Alaska so we can go through CONCACAF qualifying for the World Cup.

lol I know that feel. We've been finishing a couple of points behind Uruguay the last 3 world cups. I remember in 2005 I got up early in the morning to see them get eliminated by Australia in the playoff. So good

We have a lead now but we have also had one the last couple times to I'm not getting my hopes up yet.

Our team is good but our CB's are fucking garbage (Yepes, Perea)

This game against Portugal tomorrow is basically the first leg of 2 leg playoff since the rest of the teams in our group are pretty poor. Wouldn't be surprised to have Capello try to grind them out to a scoreless draw. Cursed 4-4-2!

I'll be cheering for you guys in spirit! Portugal is cunt overload
 
Mitt Romney is America's Rou Hodgson. We've seen what happens when you sack Rafa Benitez. Don't fucking do it again.

Hodgson kind of earned the chance to manage at a higher level though. From what I can tell, by all accounts Romney should be nowhere near to competing with Obama. It would be more akin to Barry Fry skipping uninvited into Hicks' office with histrousers round his ankles, doing the Gangnam Style, taking a shit on the desk, signing his name with the aforementioned faeces, and backflipping out of there. Policies, general knowledge of the systems he'd be presiding over, personality, 'target markets.' He completely fails in all of those categories as far as I'm aware.

I feel sorry for anyone who has legitimate gripes with Obama. Imagine wanting a change, and then basically being told that Romney's the only realistic alternative. Surely the Republicans can do better than him?

You better be seeding Nathan!



Definitely skip.

Let's not have irrational hate here. There are some interesting international matches in this break. Russia-Portugal and Argentina-Uruguay tomorrow. Spain-France on Tuesday should be good too.

Edit: Just looked, there's actually quite a few good international matches during this break. Ireland-Germany, Italy-Denmark, Germany-Sweden... do or die matches in CONCACAF too.
