George R. Stewart. Great book. I'm reading "On The Beach" right now (Nevil Shute).

But yeah, it's the dude from The Big Lebowski.

it's the dude from The Big Lebowski.

He's also in the Iron man film...... (not that I can remember his name!)



I want this as my sig, but I have a feeling its too big, so I'll post it here!

It's Jeff Bridges. I forget his character's name in Ironman, but he's been in a kazillion movies, many of which were memorable but enough that were eh to make him occasionally forgettable.

[Rainier]

He's Obadiah Stane/Iron Monger in that movie

Awesome (or maybe it's fearsome) pic, Simon.
Can't find the limits for signature pics, but if that man-boobed beer-bellied doctor (MD? ME? PhD?) or some other staff member would post it here, I'll hook you up with a larger one.

Readable on my screen 17" flat @ 1280x1024. So hopefully even more readable at 1024x768.



Also comes in .PNG which may be better/sharper.

[Swedish_Seb]

Yes, the picture, Simon, what the bloody hell else would it be?

And a vulture nested here. Wonder why...?

[Lostroth]

anyone else watch the UEFA Championship final game? was a good game.

[farmboy]

I DID!  I'm red till I die, but our second half display didn't really prove we deserved the cup.  God, if the pitch had been decent, terry wouldn't have missed and we would have rightly lost.  Then again, if the pitch hadn't been shite, van der Saar wouldn't have slipped and chelsea would never have scored, so I guess that's how things go.  Anyway, we've got the silverware now and the only question is can Ronaldo be convinced (yet again) to stay at United, or will he move on to new pastures now that he's nothing left to acomplish in England?

[Da Fish]

I did too.... Blue to the very last drop.

I hate penalties, they are more down to luck than anything else. And that's where my complaints end. After hitting the woodwork twice, a very good shout for a dangerous tackle in the box (which we didnt get) and generally playing the best football Ive seen Chelsea play all season I cant really complain that much. There isnt much point complaining about bad luck.

I just hope that Drogba, the slapping bitch, leaves (as a chelsea fan he is more like Wolverine than a footballer.... every tackle he rolls around like he has fractured every bone in his leg twice, then magically gets up once he has everyones attention and everything is alright! I probably wouldnt complain if he scored a lot, but he doesnt!) and Ronaldo eventually learns to play football without falling over everytime the wind changes direction. Whether Ronaldo stays or not is another thing.

Oh and big Congrats to Ryan Giggs. Most games played for Man Utd ever, and that deserves a bit of respect!

Blue to the very last drop.

As long as it's not sky blue

[Da Fish]

lol, no! Definitely not Sky Blue!

I've been reading in the papers that Fergie is considering resigning. Bad news for Man Utd if its true. But I'm pretty certain he is the glue that holds Man Utd together and it means that the rest of the premiership (Chelsea) might stand a chance!
