Herge was a nazi sympathiser and the pictures are inherently racist. I don't know if it helps create a subconscious negative image or not, but I watched tintin as a kid and was never racist so maybe the effect is limiting, I also had a pretty decent education though so any notions of stereotyping would have been bashed out of me at a young age.

Stackridge - Purple spaceships over Yatton enjoying these stackridge fellas

To be honest, the flat earth idea wasn't as prevalent as often thought, pythagoras got to grips with the roundness in the 6thC BC, and it only became more well known again recently in the 19th century, with the intellectual clash between science and religion, where it randomly began to develop more support, from fundamentalists eager to dispute the silly scientific notion of a globular earth. Of course during the space race, their attempts to defend their beliefs became somewhat more tricky.

IN truth I don't care if there is one, or two, or a collection of thousand little invisible flying turnicorns influencing our day to day activities. I only get bothered when religous rocket polishers try and influence everyone elses' lives, live and let live im in total favour of, but will always get pissed off when I see a certain group trying to **** with kids heads by demanding more creationism horse shit, or believing they're not suitable to be criticised etc.. latest thing, iranian fuckwits accusing britain of islamopphobia because we gave rushdie a knighthood. They can bloody well **** off. A talented author is recognised, and he's free to write about what he wants. Those tolerant muslims forced him to go underground for 10 years. Bellends.

i concede the stories about the civilisations are fascinating, certainly far more so than considering the lyrical wit of rap as dylan moran apptly puts it: I have tried, believe me i have tried to like rap...and it makes me feel so very, very old. I have tried to get HOME with the downies...I cant do it. I understand blues music, y'know, its wonderful the story of the people's disenfranchisement. *strums* i aint got nuffin and theyv taken that away too... i havnt even got a guitar im strummin ma fucken belly button here! ...wonderful names all those guys, yknow, blind dead mcjones... with rap its not like that its all bout what people have got, about attainment yknow its very agressive. "i got pecs, i got bitches, i got limos ...my limos powered by bitch juice and all my spare pecs are in the limo..." they never say anything nice...ever... its always "im guna **** u up, im guna dig up your dad and shove him up your mom and drink your blood thru a drinkin cup ya ****!"

that's cultural stuff I guess. I'd consider myself an Atheist, but I wouldn't be aghast if my future wife wanted her day in a white dress in a church. Again, whilst I wouldn't want to christen my kids, if the future mrs me decided she wanted to, Id probably give in, or at least use it to get off housework for a year or something, test her resolve etc. Not bothered about funerals really as I won't be there to 'enjoy it'. Also I really don't think it's a massive contradiction celebrating certain festivities, either. I enjoy the xmas holidays, as there's families together, the odd good film on telly and the exchanging of gifts, so fadging what if it's done nominally in the name of some dead guy?

three groups believing in the wealth of power control and human manipulation? yeah that seems about right to me

atheist / church of the flying spaghetti monster - but that's only because I want to dress up as a pirate on wednesdays, being the religious atire of choice. In fact on consideration, I'm probably a spagnostic. Organised religion in general is gobshite. God, or a higher being, I have no problems with, that I can understand, but the coercvie elements of it, and the odd desire people seem to have to read from the same hymn sheet ( pun intended ) rather than develop their own conclusions disappoints me.

scouting needs to be improved, and I'm sure it will, now MoN's got more time presumably to plan and think to the summer.

sources close to Ellis? well if he comes up with the goods it'll be worth it presumably. Sidwell yes please, Marlon King not on your nelly.

"I think Gabby and Big John upfront could be a devistating combination of pace, power and finishing. Power and pace blended into one goalscoring machine. On top of this Maloney showed yesterday some flashes of what he can do Attacking Midfieilder confident and comfortable Left, Right and Centre!" provided we play like we did against blackburn and not just lump it up long ball to JC each time

what they played rush goalie? Blimey we really are shit.

il be at a cocktail bar then getting very drunk so not going to watch a pointless easy win for england which will reveal nothing positive about the side, a boring 3-0 win really

I voted Dalton, if only to be different. Connery was very good, and I can't comment on Craig yet as I havent seen the film but he sounds like I Bond I'll enjoy seeing based on comments here. Lazenby was woeful, Roger Moore hilariously bad though he did seem to get the films that were competing with Star Wars... Moonraker anyone?:lol I liked Dalton's two films as I thought he was appropriately miserable. I haven't got anything really against Brosnan, he's just a bit too sleek really I guess, although Goldeneye is one of my favourite films.

explains plenty of my old school friends recent "body expansions" then I suppose

aaaarrgh this thread is ,aking me yearn so much for a good old british chippie at the chipshop usually salt and vinegar, ill add the sauce later when i get home, altohugh if you're talking about a grab nrun n scoff then i'll have the old ketchup on too. Never seen the mayo fascination myself mind. Mayo is the preserve of chicken salad sandwiches imo

I'd love Geremi too, but Jose rates him too highly to let him go I think. CHelsea need him as their competing on 4 fronts still, but maybe in the summer id like to see us go for him

I have to admit to not having a hatred of any of the sides really, but I should qualify, i have never lived in Birmingham and hence know hardly any of the rival clubs fans. Of all of them, the stench emanates greatest from SHA, and their porn dwelling upstart boards with slag in tow, and I do have a slight wish that they somehow crash and burn and fold, but I wouldn't call it hate. Pity perhaps. Still beating them is very enjoyable nonetheless, but tbh I couldn't give a monkeys about the other sides, and frankly I'd love to see Derby, WBA and Wolves all go up this season as I'd love to have a few decent derbies to go and see.

Id be gutted if ze bought a left back in this window, Bouma has been playing really well for starters, and mon may want to see how jlloyd does if bouma gets injured. priority one mccannesque signing priority two another striker priority three winger / perlaanent right back ( summer )

er they did pay 10mil for him

yes it would be bloody funny to see Young just turn around and go " erm yeah right mate, I want the GOOD side in claret and blue"

taken off another forum though so can't provide exact link. Steve Curry's Dail Mail though isn't he?

west ham have had accepted a 10 million pound bid for ashley young they can have him for that price, no wonder managers buy overseas

Players like Young will always look to the future as well, and will see that ours is rosy, but if that future can be realiased quicker elsewhere then they'd take it I think. If bids are accepted for Ashley I think we're still lowdown in the pecking order sadly interesting odds from sky though.
