  1. A nice little additional tucked in at the end of the article;

     

    Blues parent company Birmingham International Holdings Ltd (BIHL) have announced a profits warning for the interim accounts to December 2012.

    These unaudited figures are expected to be made public after a BIHL board meeting on Friday.

    While I would love to see this happen, I doubt them figures are going to come out any time soon.  How are they getting away with what other clubs have received points deductions for?

    And they call us jammy!! :rant:

    She was what the UK needed in 1979, a focused individual who recognised the evil of the socialist ideology that had held the country to ransom via the unions throughout the previous decade. She faced it down and destroyed it, thus saving the country. The old socialists will never forgive her for that, but so what?

    So basically destroying lives was OK was it? - Shows a lot of the people that supported her then and now, finding it acceptable.

     

    Reforming of the issues of that particular society at that time could have, and should have been done with more consideration to the impacts on human lives. But of course that would have been at the expense of profits and that was the driving force behind her and her supporters then (and now). Bugger to society and balls to those who get hurt along the way.

    Had she not defeated the Unions then Britain would have ended up as a third world economic basket case, but instead she battled and defeated them and in so doing turned the country's declining prospects around. Is it good that some people lost out as a result? No of course not, however had the Unions not fought to maintain their stranglehold on the UK economy there would have been no battle in the first place.

     

    Your entiled to your opinion - but do you honestly beleive that ?  - even in times of economic downturn the UK economy & infastructure is one of the strongest in the world - and you have to look at who profited from the upturn -

    "Third world" was an embelishment on my part, but we were serious economic trouble and the Unions were literally strangling the country. It was an unavoidable battle, imo.  Regarding the upturn, the majority of people benefited from it, despite the focus you'll find on this board on groups who did not in order to try and create a picture that is simply false. If the majority had not benefited then Mrs T would not have won crushing election victories throughout the 80's, would she?

     

    Perception is everything - why were Satchi & Satchi hired ? - a poor opposition, the rise of the SDP , and the Falklands played a big part in those victories.

    I'd add the fact that the most popular paper of the day, the bloody Sun, licked her ring and put an admiitedly weak Labour party down every day.

  3. Aye, war pigs is no comedy song.

     

    Not comedy. Cartoon. It's all a bit "14-year-old boys playing Warhammer" for me.

    Like an early Bullet For My Valentine, you mean? ;)

     

    Sabbs were ok, but certainly not the greatest.

  4. It's great that so many other teams are slipping, slipping, slipping into the mix while we pick up points. I think we're always going to score goals, whilst teams like Sunderland the Stoke hoofers are struggling.

  5. I thought it was an interesting twist on geography and AA routeplanner that Call Me Dave Camoron said today that NK has missiles that can reach America and therefore they have missiles that can reach us.

    Mmmmm, remind you of anyone...............?

  6. Labs rule, that's why they're trusted to be guide/helper/sniffer dogs. Plus some of them are bonkers (ours is anyway)

    Simples.

    Though I may have contradicted myself there............ :D

  7. I boycott the Daily Mirror because many moons ago when I used to buy the thing every day, they did the usual thing of putting a spy shot of a sunbathing non-celeb on the front, a story about a half baked soap star on page 3, similar crap on pages 4 through to 14 then buried a story on the 15th page of a poor 10 year old girl who needed a liver transplant to save her life. I wrote to Piers Morgan the then editor, asking why the girl wasn't on the front page. He replied with the biggest, patronising load of clap trap I'd ever read, so I stopped buying his poxy paper and haven't bought it since for that reason. Oh yeah, plus the fact it's shit.

  8. I must admit, as far as Apple products go, i wouldn't buy a Mac cos my steam powered Dell laptop does for me, Ipads are out because, well, why would I need one? Similar with Iphones, I'm not 14 and I don't need entertaining 24/7. But, give me an Ipod any day of the week, I bloody love mine.
