If he doesn't reply, drop Mario a pm, he's the resident fiend when it comes to Brazilian raers. (he doesn't visit this thread much, as he doesn't like all the soccerball talk.)
off topic, i know, but anyone know the best place for brazilian records in the uk?
From me! ;-P what style(s) are you looking for? They're not turning up much in London stores anymore from what I've seen (I can't speak confidently for other stores around the country though). Guys like Cliffy, Joe Davis, Ritchie @ spitalfields still have some, drop me a PM if you want to chat about it.
I hope this is not too serious for this thread, but I'm translating some material into (British) English for a doctoral thesis (not mine), and some of it is written in a very heavy dialect. Rather than make a mess of it myself, I thought I'd ask you gentlemen if you were willing to help me out. I have written the parts in standard English so your job would be to mangle the spelling and spice up the vocabulary a bit. It shouldn't be too difficult or time-consuming-- the word count is a bit less than 500.
There are two dialects going on here as far as I can tell, but since this is more for effect than anything truly scientific, I suppose one REAL dialect would do-- so the farther you grew up from London the better I suppose.
Please PM me if this is something you think you might able to do.

""I'm not suited to Bolton or Blackburn, I would be more suited to Inter or Real Madrid," Allardyce said. "It wouldn't be a problem to me to go and manage those clubs because I would win the double or the league every time. Give me Manchester United or Chelsea and I would do the same, it wouldn't be a problem."

I'm sure the amount of offers coming in from those clubs(who have changed managers often recently) is a clue,Sam.
Is he referring to the quality players he would have at his disposal??
He was booted too soon at Newcastle but was far from setting the world alight in a role considered a step up for him at the time.
The Allardyce piece reads like one long plea that he's still relevant. After a career of achieving practically nothing, I think he's beginning to loose it. I mean, have you read his twitter? http://twitter.com/TheBig_Sam
I'm sure some wise soul on here made a prediction about this fella before the season started.

Even I had to take my hat off to him yesterday. Nani, on the other hand, is a massive cunt, and I wasn't the least bit surprised to see Ferguson validating his antics on at least one occasion. We got what we deserved, which was nothing. Meireles was alright.

Also, no argument about Nani being a cunt here. As long as it's working in our favour though he gets a pass from me. Dear god I was convinced we'd blown it again yesterday, has to be the worst defensive start to the season in a long time for us. Shipping goals all over the place. I'm wondering how long Hodgson will be given at Anfield.
On the plus side Chelski finally have some actual opposition in their next few games so shoudl be a better indication of just how lethal they are this season.

Speaking of cunts, if the BBC are coming under more pressure to save money, they could make a far worse start than by sacking Alan Shearer. If there's a more wilfully ignorant, professionally negligent cretin being paid for his opinion anywhere on British television, I'd like to know who it is. Speaking about Hatem Ben Arfa on this week's MOTD, Shearer said, "He's come from nowhere, and nobody knows much about him". That's the French international Hatem Ben Arfa, who's won five league titles with two different clubs in France and would probably be playing in the Champions League for his sixth successive season if he hadn't been loaned out to the Spurs of the North. As opposed, that is, to some other, hitherto unknown Hatem Ben Arfa who doesn't have a lengthy, detailed Wikipedia entry that Shearer's own fucking kids could have looked up for him if their dad's too fucking idle to use the internet himself. Seriously, how does he keep his job? And with an attitude to research like that, how did anyone ever take him seriously as a possible Newcastle manager? Imagine getting paid for knowing fuck-all - I mean, where can I get a job like that? I know fuck-all about loads of stuff.
The 'Full List of Stuff White Brits Like' is a fail imo. If you're going to be such a hacky hack, you could at least put a UK spin on it, like; 'Stuff Northern Monkeys Like' or 'Stuff Soft Southern Pansies Like'.
The sight of Shearer The Saviour leading his team to relegation was one of the most beautiful images the Premiership has served up in many a year. Made me feel warm on the inside.

You can tell when a bird is lava when just looking at a gif of her with clothes on makes you feel guilty and check for the boss before you clock it.
I don't want to google "Now" images of her.

However, if you're looking for a more Northern approach we have a fair few of them in here too.

Oh, no question. I knew I'd step on some toes when I wrote "REAL dialect," haha. But the dialects in question are rather 'country'.
Okem, that's pretty funny. There's always next time...
