Leyton Orient

Aug 08, 2004 10:38

It's not like there is a shortage of decent football teams in London. If I lived just a few miles away it would be Arsenal, Tottenham or West Ham, but alas, I live in Leyton so my local team is Leyton Orient. Personally, if I was a football fan, I would be inclined to support the second closest team, but I am not a football fan, merely a first ( Read more... )

Leyton are bitter. Their most famous local son is one David Beckham who instead of plying his trade for the east end nobodies instead went to Man Utd and then Real Madrid.

I often wonder if "David Beckham- Orient Legend" could have been a reality ? Then I laugh loud and long.

Really? It doesn't sound it. They should have it renamed so it sounds nicer.

Where is Cheshire? Is it up north?

Do you think if we asked endemol nicely they would put Big Brother on continuous looping repeat (of all 5 series maybe) until it's time for series 6 to give us something to do?

It's never the same when you know what is going to happen. I tried to feed my BB hunger with the series videos but it just doesn't work.

What they need to do is have three serieses of BB a year, with one starting as the previous ends. This would of course mean I could never go out on Fridays again.

I would like to think that this country doesn't have a large enough supply of that sort of people to make up 3 series' a year. But if I did thnk that I would be disapointed.
I think the socially responsible thing for endemol to do would be to do year round BB, but move eviction night to early evenings, about 6ish. That way we can still do things, and have our fix

Macclesfield's a pretty dull Northern town up near Manchester. It's probably most famous for its racist/homophobic novelty punk band The Macc Lads - who's hits include "Fat Bastard", "Now He's A Poof", "Beer & Sex & Chips & Gravy" and the tender ballad "Dan's Big Log" (about a 'floater' that wouldn't flush)...

For some reason I can't think of Macclesfield without assuming the entire town is filled with people like that.
