  1. Earlier Monday, league spokesman Brian McCarthy regarding the video: "We requested from law enforcement any and all information about the incident, including the video from inside the elevator. That video was not made available to us and no one in our office has seen it until today." Impressive stuff from a multi-billion dollar company, repeatedly getting scooped by TMZ.
  2. Cowboys are going to be great for fantasy this year. Mainly cos they're so shit they're going to be flinging the ball around like mentalists

  6. How did Flacco ever win a super bowl lol
  7. I might be crazy but did Donovan McNabb say on the Sky pre-game that the Rams were his 'lock' of the week?
  8. I think a lot of people regard political parties as clubs and they support the same clubs as they were brought up to by their parents. Quite sad really but unless people go to University they aren't really encouraged to undertake independent thinking. I also think to too many people, politics is quite a distant, remote idea. That's why we get all these comments about Westminster being out of touch. If you think that go to one of your MP's surgeries and talk to them about an issue. Politics is just not real to a lot of people but there's really not much of an excuse, there's not a lot of competition in local elections, if you want to start lower, start going to your town or parish council, most of them struggle to get anyone under 50 to turn up. How many people have ever gone to a council meeting? They're open to the public. People can't really keep saying we want more of a local say in politics and then do nothing consistent on a practical level consistent with that statement.
  9. I know politics can be more emotive than analytical but I'm not sure what people want really. Westminster is where the UK parliament is, yes it's a bit of a bubble but so is Washington DC, so is Brussels, that's the nature of cities with physical parliaments. Politicians don't really need to be 'in touch' with the entire country, they should legislate based on data, reports, debate and of course whatever they put in their manifesto and forward plan. Most legislation is created and developed by technocrats not politicians anyway, MP's are just the faces, essentially the PR people. If people are so against being run by Westminster then where do you want the parliament? Do you really want more local elections? Because there doesn't seem to be a big appetite for local democracy when you look at council elections, European elections, PCC elections. We could go down the route of federalism and regional devolution. I think that could be a good thing if it energises and politicises people more but I'm not sure it would really. Edit to say I agree parliament needs more diversity if that's what people mean by 'out of touch', even then though I think this idea of being 'in touch' is largely an illusion. Politics should be about aggregates, doing what's best for the entire country, not about individuals, not about understanding the concerns of every individual.
  10. To be fair Roy Keane could probably get in as CM if he can be arsed
  11. The NOTW is out of business so I dunno. I got more excited about the Malky Mackay story than the Jennifer Lawrence nude pics so maybe I'm just out of touch.
  12. Just flicking through the line-ups. Way too much N'Zogbia. Harsh on Gabby (ahem, top Villa premier league goalscorer anyone), harsh on Weimann (yeah he's shit but he tries hard, no?). Not enough Bakes. You're my boy Bakes!.
  13. Scotland get a pretty good deal from being part of the UK. If they want to piss that away for 20 years of North Sea oil then they can go ahead. Be assured though the SNP do not want the **** of governance issues independence would bring. I really don't think the UK would be the biggest problem in terms of EU membership. Try Spain with their autonomous regions, Catalonia with their independence claim, they would be the first obstacle.
  14. To be fair I think Villa have done well. He has every incentive to play out of his skin if he wants the 'big bucks' or a move to a bigger club. Even on the off chance he does just that we have the first option to convince him that he is best served staying here,
  15. People just need to wise up, nothing sent electronically is secure, deal with it and adapt accordingly.
  16. Which politicians are you hoping to see with a face full of jizz?
  17. Guzan Hutton Vlaar Baker Cissokho Sanchez Cleverly Delph Weimann Gabby Tekkers You're my boy Bakes
  18. Yeah, cos cleverley has often been compared to Cole throughout his career How exactly is Joe Cole going to get into the team. He's too slow to play out wide and has five mid fielders ahead of him.
  19. I think one thing's for sure now. Joe Cole is not going to get a kick this season.
  20. My overriding emotion from the whole thing has been amusement at seeing Justin Verlander's podgy ass. Also, if you have tried and really can't find them, then you really fail at the internet.
  21. I'm getting pissed off about the whole thing. The SNP don't even want independence. Do you really think they want such a headache? All they want is for the vote to be close enough to claim there is a mandate for more devolution. More devolution is what they wanted in the first place, what they wanted on the ballots and what they will want when the independence vote fails. I didn't mind when it wasn't getting any coverage but all the smokescreens are pissing me off now.
  22. Yeah they have me A+ and projected first so it's obviously nonsense.
