OMG. :eek: I was better off confused and feeling stupid because I didn't get the joke. That tall guy looked like a Pizza Hut delivery guy, but at least he'd have something to offer. I hope for all our sake's they don't rap anymore. I'll never look at Michael Buffer the same again.

Me, too. Reminded me a bit on Kriss Kross. Only they were even more screwed...Excellent satire!

I must also admit thinking for a sec it was Jaffa and one other Fantasy Manager on that pic...he had that sig sometime ago...(well, we still don't know for sure...,eh?)

He did have that sig didn't he? Hmm. I bet he was close to that age in 94 too. I was. The plot thickens...;)

I'm intrigued to know which one you think I am! Although it must be pointed out that while I'm roughly the same age as them I'm also a good half a foot taller, I'll have you know! :p

They're Ant and Dec, a couple of UKish TV celebs who always appear together as a double act. These days they're mainly to be found hosting family friendly Saturday night TV shows and the like. However, they first became famous in a kids TV drama a good 20 or so years ago now, and subsequently became infamous with some rather rubbish singles. At the time they were known as PJ and Duncan, the characters they played on the kids show.

We were discussing their earlier career a few weeks back at work, the younger staffers were unaware about the kids show and records so we found a few clips for them – that's where the sig I'm using at the moment came from. Incidentally if I just say that the discussion started on paintballing, anyone in my age range will understand how we ended up discussing them. :D

So, to clear things up – me and Fizzy certainly aren't PJ and Duncan, although admittedly we do have so many lyrics we're frightened to use them. :p

Anytime you two ^^ want to put together an EPL rap, save it. The world's not ready. :p

First subbuteo and now these two. What will Fantasy Football teach me next?
 
Some disturbing news...

But on a happier note, here's an update on the MacRumors Cup. Before the international break, our matches ended as follows...

Sporting Dual-Cores 34 - 41 Neutron Heath
Omaha Latics 52 - 35 Pachyderm FC
Woodingtonhampshire 32 - 23 T!llionaire Toyshire
Horizon Heights 63 - 51 Brainerd FC
Elisbury Hill 26 - 35 Pinstripe City
The Stoplights 38 - 47 Hardly Athletic
Tall Saints 43 - 50 Fizzy's Flyers
Argy-Bargy 45 - 31 Thigh High Socks
LITH United 40 - 34 Mancunian Mopheads​

That leaves the table looking like this...

Agreed, let them know! @antanddec

We mention it as a joke as Newcastle and Let's get ready to rumble gets mentioned, the next thing they've re-released it!

Saving that WC for the MR Cup. We measure our success by hardware and The Stoplights have been on a dry spell since the 2010 World Cup. Fear not though, we're getting prepared. The boys have a picture of your avatar in the lockeroom. I told them you're the reason Ant and Dec has been blaring over the loudspeakers at practice the last 2 weeks. They're pissed. I'd be careful out there this weekend. Could get ugly.
 
I started that Let's get Ready to Rumble crap?! Oops, I'm so sorry! But how gracious of you to honor my, fairly average at best, picture! It's in my locker room as well! Creepy you say?

But let's get serious, should I bring in Caz for Walcott? :D

It's great to see that our little League is influencing the UK music charts. :D

Hmmm, we were actually speculating on your own, rather peculiar if true, involvement in said 'music' 'group' before....this coincidence, I don't know Jaffa (and Fizzoid)...Tilpots is right, this could get very ugly.

I'm going to make same phone calls and see what I can find out...

Both! I love those guys. They've been down a bit of late though. Due, I'd say.

BTW, who is that guy on your 'tar? The world must know. He's so stoic. And his hair...

OMG I THOUGHT YOU WERE JOKING! And it went to #1? What's wrong with this world?


(Just bought it on iTunes and it's something I secretly like. Psyche.)

I am serious. And don't call me Shirley. Why? What don't I know? Thought they were playing Reading? Oh man... Off to the research dept...

Curious find during the research: Kool Keith. AKA: Black Elvis. I will not post a link here. Do yourself a favor and DO NOT YouTube him. You've been warned.

Who are you characters I'm playing fantasy football with? I thought you were all decent fellows...:eek:

I'm double checking the League rules now, but you might just have incurred a points deduction for that. :D

-1994 pts. I deserve it. :D

OMG, you've found out! :eek:
But then again, what did you expect with teams named t!llionairs toys club...
.or sporting dual-cores??? Pretty fantastic in my book. :D

One of my assistant-scouts told me Theo is injured.

But what's Shirley got to do with it? Leave her out of this, I tell ya!
