Your End of Year Lists

Seeing as 2006 is on the way out it’s time for these end of year type threads. It might also be handy when picking up christmas presents and stuff? :slight_smile:

So what were your favourites during the year?

Albums? Books? Films? TV Series? Documentaries? Matches attended? Matches watched? Anything else?

As it’s a sporting site stick in your sporting moments of the year, team of the year, achievement of the year, sportstar of the year, one to watch in the future etc etc.

I’m going to have a little think about this.

Website of the year tfk.com Wahoo!

And I’m a sceptic!

Film of the year for me is Borat, which I saw last night and really shows some of the yanks up to be the stoodpist coonts alive.

Match attended of the year - Celtic 1 Manchester United 0

One to watch in the future - Cillian Sheridan

TV series of the year - Shameless

Can’t think of a song or album released this year that I really liked.

Favourite saying of the year:

“Suck me shoe”

Film of the Year - The Departed

Still struggling to come up with a song or album

I have seen very little films and heard very little albums from this year

I generally take stand out songs from the charts and give them a place in the year end list
This year’s winner is ‘Crazy’ by Gnarls Barkley

For me single of the year is deffo the Scissor sisters. I don’t feel like dancing, dancing…
What a cracking pop tune as Louis Walsh might say!!

The departed or Borat for films.

Sporting highlight to follow in due course.

I’m going to get murdered for this but I agree with the Scissor Sisters - I think it’s a cracker. The other single that I think is smashing is Chelsea Dagger by The Fratellis. You can listen to it on the soccer video thread on the latest McGeady video.

Others to follow in due course also.

You need a HB account to view that thread Bandage.

Shame for the rest of them then.

Most embarrassing moment: introducing myself to ClarkeyCat outside the Harbourmaster when meeting him for the third time. The guy’s face just hadn’t registered with me yet.

Funniest moment: Sam shouting “show us yer tits” at Bandage’s female work colleague who was having her work leaving-do at the same time as the great man.
