I've been scouting around for a deputy and our company has employed a headhunter. Today he came back to me with a couple of names of people who already worked for me. Didn't he think for one minute that if they were appropriate for me, I'd have asked them myself? Just how stupid do you have...

Following MoH's shock announcement that he's never seen It's a Wonderful Life, what are the well-known films that you've managed to miss? For me it's Gone with the Wind, all of the Lord of the Rings and all the Star Wars films (apart from Star Wars itself).

I know that there a few fans on here (FWY being an obvious one): anyone heard the new triple album yet? Is it any good? I normally buy all TW stuff but I have a marked aversion to triple albums as they're often an excuse to put out a load of old tat.

My boss is taking me out for lunch and says that I can choose the venue. Naturally, I want to hit his wallet hard and get some decent scran but where should I go? The catch is that I'm a veggie and I want to go a place that treats veggies with respect and not some sort of afterthought or...

There's a site somewhere that has all our old scores but I can't track it through Google: anyone know what it is? I'm specifically looking for Albion v Scunny on 31 August 1996.

The Guardian has asked 49 musos what their favourite osbscure album is (some of haven't really grasped the concept of obscure and named people like Leonard Cohen and Simple Minds, but we'll let that pass). http://arts.guardian.co.uk/filmandmusic/story/0,,1888085,00.html Got me thinking as what...

I've been invited to play in a match at Fulham's training ground under the watchful eye of a Premiership ref - it sounds like too good an opportunity to miss, but I chucked my boots away a few years ago as I didn't think I'd need them again. Anyone got any size 12s boots they could lend me...

This might sound like a stupid question, but ... I have a new turntable and (unlike all the other turntables I've bought) it requires a counterweight to be attached to the arm to stop the stylus skidding across the record. Unfortunately, the instructions don't make it plain as to where the...

:lolol: :lolol: Oh dear http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/wales/south_east/4794753.stm?ls What staggers me is that no-one noticed until they'd been done. God knows, I'm not fluent in Welsh but even I noticed that there's no word for cyclist there (nor an imperative).

I believe that I can ask anything on NSC and get some decent answers so here's a question for all you DIY whizzkids. I'm trying to put up some window blinds and after 30 minutes of solid drilling I'm making no further inroads into the window lintel, I have a 550W hammer drill. Do I need...

...Gawd help us. http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk_news/story/0,,1835128,00.html What a list of shockers.

Top of the County Championship and top of the fizz league too. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/southern_counties/5201406.stm I had some of this stuff at Christmas and it was great.

Mrs G managed to run over the lead to the lawn mower. I put the plug back on the truncated flex but the mower doesn't work. Has anyone got any suggestions as to what could be wrong? Or know someone who fixes lawn mowers? I know it's a long shot but I believe that you can get the answer to...

Went to see the production of A Midsummer Night's Dream on Preston Manor lawns last night. Although the production itself isn't that great, it's not truly awful either and is entertaining enough. Lovely setting though: take a picnic, a bottle of wine (or two) and chill out. It's on again...

Surprised no-one's mentioned this. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/5153936.stm So super patriotic 'comedian' doesn't actually live in this country and is a bit reluctant to pay taxes here. Ain't it always the way? At least we won't hear any more from him about supporting 'our boys'.

MoH are I were commenting on Bild's coverage of the WC yesterday but it's surpassed itself today. It includes eight photos of Swedish fans, all of them young and female. Needless to say, it also found the young woman wearing just body paint on her torso...

Does anyone happen to know what the spreads were on a) the number of pens and b) the number of red cards throughoit the tournament? We seem to be very light on both - in fact, I don't think we've had a pen yet. Someone selling could be very happy right now.

...apart from the obvious choices of Argentina and Germany that is. For me it has to be the USA. I'm really hoping that the septics get their faces ground into the dirt. Is there any WC team that you really want to see humiliated?

For the German readers on NSC, Das Bild has an interesting forum. http://meinung-live.de/f101/beitrag-1607.html I especially liked this post: " ...Ich schaue mir den World Cup im BBC an und kann nur sagen 'Hut ab' fuer das Reporterteam (Hanson/Lineker u.a.). Sie reden ohne Vorurteile und...
