With what Popjustice called a suprising re-invention (and suprisingly they seem to like him!) however I'm not suprised as it just sounds like he's doing what he did with the last Ordinary Boys album but with more direction! Official Myspace featuring 'Teenage Zombie' - http://www.myspace.com/prestonofficial The album will be called 'Whatever Forever'

What kind of world do you live in? :mellow: I think this is a great deal for us personally! This way we could move Rooney to a more central position and he'll be a good shout for top scorer next season and we could get Valencia, possibly sign Tevez permenantly or get Benzema instead! (we certainly need another striker if we sell Campbell) We should keep Park and see about getting someone else on the left too! Maybe now they have so many attacking players maybe we could get Arjen Robben to play on the left from Real?

BREAKING NEWS: The title of the new album as I've just seen in their myspace bulletin is... Humbug! A very summery title eh? :P

Because they're the most popular team thus they will pull in the most viewers, plus a lot of the time they make it into a huge drama causing heart attacks to their fans :lol:

I was walking past the Emirates today and heard her sing Bleeding Love, Forgive Me and Better In Time and I just wanna know was she miming or not? Because I thought she was when I heard Bleeding Love but she sounded like she was singing Better In Time :unsure: I could still hear her when I got to Highbury & Islington station. :lol:

Other bands are just as much about putting on a show as Britters! Look at Iron Maiden for example! They do all their instruments and singing live AND they put on a great show and the fans leave thinking it was worth the money! My problem with Britney is the fact that people let her get away with miming and saying they just love her but the question is WHY? If she doesn't sing live or have anything to do with her music then what's to love about her? I have spent nearly £300 on my upcoming gigs which are Blur at Hype Park, Reading Festival and Green Day at O2 Arena and I bloody hope that every one of those bands I see on those bands that I see play perform live or I'll definitely feel ripped off!

But they don't seem to have changed much especially with Cameron being in charge who basically idolises her -_- I didn't live during those times but I certainly see her legacy still here now particularly in the north.

I think we need to cage you both to lighten the mood :kink:

Plus if I'm not mistaken you're northern so you would be in $h!t anyway :P I always loved watching question time when Blair ALWAYS trashed Howard and Cameron and it really shows how bad the Conservatives are when Cameron can't even win against the charisma free zone that is Gordon Brown :lol: I did have a big lol at the fact that Brown made it obvious that Darling is gonna go. If only the Lib Dems had a decent leader (i.e. Vince Cable) then maybe we could have a party to vote for that we genuinely want to run the country rather than just voting for one to keep a worse party from getting into office! Thus of course as I would never vote Tory I'm swinging towards Labour again and will probably deface a photo of Cameron for my sig like I did with Michael Howard for the last election. :lol:

Overhyped? When the same thing happens to female artists the whole thread is usually full of ':cheer: :cheer: :yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo: :cheer: ' everytime their popularity bars increase. It's a great band coming back with another good song and a lot of other people think that too! Much better than this time last year when the song that was #1 on iTunes all week and ended up #1 in the chart was there because it was what the winner of Britain's Got Talent danced to :rolleyes:

So he wanted to leave Villa to play in the Champions League and he leaves to a club that isn't in Europe at all? :blink:

This is stuck in my head now so that's a sign it's probably gonna be #1 and deservedly so! I've always preferred Kelly to Beyoncé myself!

Where's Go Kart btw? :o (unless they've changed the title) that was my favourite of the new ones!

Someone PM me a link for Remedy please! I'm banned from MM right now :lol:

I hope ten songs means this album will match the quality of the first two albums! :dance: Liking the titles a lot :D

Yeah I agree you do need someone who can cover for Torres but of course as a United fan I'd love it if someone like Owen came in and you tried to change your system to play three :P And I've never got the Berba hate personally.. the apparent lazy player covered at right back for a few minutes before he came back into position a few weeks ago, he doesn't run around like Rooney and Tevez do but he subtly covers the same amount of ground and he contributed a hell of a lot of assists this season, look at the stats and you'll see! Anyway I've learned in 20 years as a United fan to never question Fergie's judgement about anything ;) As well as Nani and Tevez, Park has also been rumoured to leave which I wouldn't be happy with as I think he's done pretty well for us this season! If they do all leave then I hope we at least get someone who can play on the left! *has dreams of stealing Ashley Young from Villa*

I'd love someone like Owen or another big name striker to go to Liverpool because then they'll try to them them AND Gerrard and Torres which will probably completely mess them up! :cheer:

Ed0tDGLTrUE Hmm very catchy, I quite like it myself and would like to do well but I'm not completely sure.. Opinions?

See! I told you we wouldn't win! As I thought we would would do we basically played exactly the same way we did against Arsenal with Giggs replacing Anderson which may in a way make sense as in some ways Arsenal are similar to Barcelona but Barcelona pose a completely different kind of threat to Arsenal thus we were ripped apart! Fair play to Barca they basically won back all the respect I lost for them by actually justifying why they think they're the best team in Europe by beating the now 2nd best. :( Now I just hope that was not the last time I saw Tevez in a United shirt.

Grrr! I'd like to the pull the Hot Honeyz to the side and show them how it's done <_< Their performance just had no energy in it at all! :blink:

Well I getting more at the whole having a Director of Football thing! Managers should buy the players THEY want, no one else! It didn't work for you, it didn't work for Newcastle and it doesn't work for anyone in the Premier League!

I never thought I'd be in a pub and have Man United as the game I'm NOT interested in :lol: But then again in the end we sat in a place where we can see both Hull v Man Utd and Villa v Newcastle, I wanted Newcastle to stay up but in the end I'm glad it was Hull who did it because I wouldn't have liked Phil Brown to be haunted for the rest of his career by that on pitch team talk plus I want to see the reverse fixture which was a nice 4-3 win for us! :D This might be a good thing for Newcastle as they're gonna need a COMPLETE overhaul and they're gonna need to give a manager TIME and let him actually run the club from top to bottom! The way the club is run just doesn't run in English football, they should have looked at what almost happened at Spurs until Harry came in and did the same when Keegan went! Oh and congratulations to Burnley! Look forward to seeing them next season! :D

Well if a BNP politician DOES come then if he tries to talk to the Queen then she can just fend him to Prince Phillip, I'm sure they'll get on :P

Scientists have unveiled a 47-million-year-old fossilised skeleton of a monkey hailed as the missing link in human evolution. Source: Sky News The search for a direct connection between humans and the rest of the animal kingdom has taken 200 years - but it was presented to the world today at a special news conference in New York. The discovery of the 95%-complete 'lemur monkey' - dubbed Ida - is described by experts as the "eighth wonder of the world". They say its impact on the world of palaeontology will be "somewhat like an asteroid falling down to Earth". Researchers say proof of this transitional species finally confirms Charles Darwin's theory of evolution, and the then radical, outlandish ideas he came up with during his time aboard the Beagle. Sir David Attenborough said Darwin "would have been thrilled" to have seen the fossil - and says it tells us who we are and where we came from. "This little creature is going to show us our connection with the rest of the mammals," he said. "This is the one that connects us directly with them. "Now people can say 'okay we are primates, show us the link'. "The link they would have said up to now is missing - well it's no longer missing." A team of the world's leading fossil experts, led by Professor Jorn Hurum, of Norway's National History Museum, have been secretly researching the 1ft 9in-tall young female monkey for the past two years. And now it has been transported to New York under high security and unveiled to the world during the bicentenary of Darwin's birth. Later this month, it will be exhibited for one day only at the Natural History Museum in London before being returned to Oslo. Scientists say Ida - squashed to the thickness of a beer mat by the immense passage of time - is the most complete primate fossil ever found. With her human-like nails instead of claws, and opposable big toes, she is placed at the very root of human evolution when early primates first developed features that would eventually develop into our own. Another important discovery is the shape of the talus bone in her foot, which humans still have in their feet millions of lifetimes later. Ida was unearthed by an amateur fossil-hunter some 25 years ago in Messel pit, an ancient crater lake near Frankfurt, Germany, famous for its fossils. She was cleaned and set in polyester resin - and incredibly, was hung on a mystery German collector's wall for 20 years. Sky News sources say the owner had no idea of the unique fossil's significance and simply admired it like a cherished Van Gogh or Picasso painting. But in 2006, Ida came into the hands of private dealer Thomas Perner, who presented her to Prof Hurum at the annual Hamburg Fossil and Mineral Fair in Germany - a centre for the murky world of fossil-trading. Prof Hurum said when he first saw the blueprint for evolution - the "most beautiful fossil worldwide" - he could not sleep for two days. A home movie records the dramatic moment. "This is really something that the world has never seen before, this is a unique specimen, totally unique," he says, clearly emotional. He says he knew she should be saved for science rather than end up hidden from the world in a wealthy private collector's vault. But the dealer's asking price was more than $1 million (£660,000) - ten times the amount even the rarest of fossils fetch on the black market. Eventually, after six months of negotiations, he managed to raise the cash in Norway and brought Ida to Oslo. Prof Hurum - who last summer dug up the fossil remains of a 50ft marine monster called Predator X from the permafrost on Svalbard, a Norwegian island close to the North Pole - then assembled a "dream team" of experts who worked in secret for two years. They included palaeontologist Dr Jens Franzen, Dr Holly Smith, of the University of Michigan, and Philip Gingerich, president-elect of the US Paleontological Society. Researchers could prove the fossil was genuine through X-rays, knowing it is impossible to fake the inner structure of a bone. Through radiometric dating of Messel's volcanic rocks, they discovered Ida lived 47 million years ago in the Eocene period. This was when tropical forests stretched right to the poles, and South America was still drifting and had yet to make contact with North America. During that period, the first whales, horses, bats and monkeys emerged, and the early primates branched into two groups - one group lived on mainly as lemurs, and the second developed into monkeys, apes and humans. The experts concluded Ida was not simply a lemur but a 'lemur monkey', displaying a mixture of both groups, and therefore putting her at the very branch of the human line. "When Darwin published his On the Origin of Species in 1859, he said a lot about transitional species," said Prof Hurum "...and he said that will never be found, a transitional species, and his whole theory will be wrong, so he would be really happy to live today when we publish Ida. "This fossil is really a part of our history; this is part of our evolution, deep, deep back into the aeons of time, 47 million years ago. "It's part of our evolution that's been hidden so far, it's been hidden because all the other specimens are so incomplete. "They are so broken there's almost nothing to study and now this wonderful fossil appears and it makes the story so much easier to tell, so it's really a dream come true." Up until now, the most famous fossil primate in the world has been Lucy, a 3.18-million-year-old hominid found in Ethiopia in 1974. She was then our earliest known ancestor, and only 40% complete. But at 95% complete, Ida was so well preserved in the mud at the bottom of the volcanic lake, there is even evidence of her fur shadow and remains of her last meal. From this they concluded she was a leaf and fruit eater, and probably lived in the trees around the lake. The absence of a bacculum (penis bone) confirmed she was female, and her milk teeth put her age at about nine-months-old - in maturity, equivalent to a six-year-old human child. This was the same age as Prof Hurum's daughter Ida, and he named the fossil after her. The study is being published and put online by the Public Library of Science, a leading academic journal with offices in Britain and the US. Co-author of the scientific paper, Prof Gingerich, likens its importance to the discovery of the Rosetta Stone, an ancient Egyptian artefact found in 1799, which allowed us to decipher hieroglyphic writing. One clue to Ida's fate - and her remarkable preservation as our oldest ancestor - was her badly fractured left wrist. The team believes this stopped her from climbing and she had to emerge from the trees to drink water from the 250-metre-deep lake. They think she was overcome by carbon dioxide gas from the crater, and sunk to the bottom where she was preserved in the mud as a time capsule - and a snapshot of evolution. But amazingly this final piece of Darwin's jigsaw was almost lost to science when German authorities tried to turn Messel into a massive landfill rubbish dump. Eventually, after campaigning by Dr Franzen, the plans were rejected and the fossil-rich lake was designated a World Heritage Site. But no doubt there would have been one person happy for the missing link to have remained hidden. When Darwin famously told the Bishop of Worcester's wife about his theory of evolution, she remarked: "Descended from the apes! My dear, let us hope that it is not true, but if it is, let us pray that it will not become generally known." Now, it certainly is. ---------------- So how do we think the religious nuts will react to this then?
