Just the tonic after wednesday

It would be a bitch of a commute for him.

MON struggles with rotation unless its forced on him with injuries. To be fair though, it is normally cup games where he makes a lot of changes. This time he played almost a full strength side.

Is that Megrahi dead yet? Seems like he probably should be seeing as he "only had 3 months to live" back at the start of August.

How good would that be! The ultimate mickey mouse club

Yes, the transport links are very poor. I think it might be a sticking point for the council in the planning application.

Miss "I" appears to be Jennifer Aniston and it looks like Mr "L" is possibly under suspicion for drug related offences.

I have completed the Monopoly board pub crawl a grand total of 4 times, drinking an alcoholic beverage in all 26 pubs (includes stations but no utilities) on each occasion (usually a half pint of bitter...)

That is the way the board and management feel too according to the general. Players should get all comfortable on the bench.

Good stuff, and 4-4-2 with petrov. Sidwells run continues.

There is another interesting article from Matt Tiabbi, like the one on Goldmans above, on one of the dodgier ways investment banks make money during financial crisis here

The Rolling Stone Magazine's take on the Goldman's empire: here Vs The Times columnist's take on Goldman's bonus payouts: Here

You think JP Morgan and Goldman Sachs are involved in Enron style fraud?

Financial Services are like the oil that keeps the economy turning and company's like JP Morgan and Goldman Sachs making profits is a positive story that the economy is moving in the right direction again. Neither of these companies recieved bailout money from the government of either the US or UK and by all accounts were well run allowing them to weather the economic crisis and come out the other side in good shape. A positive news story on the economy for a change. I'd much rather be hearing these stories than headlines about these companies needing government bailout money.

Well they should keep making them until they stop making money from them obviously. I have not actually seen any of them though.

Quite, although there are less people still alive who remember when that happened... Its not the same. The French & the English are separated by a natural line that is difficult to cross ie: the English Channel. the line drawn to separate Bangladesh & Pakistan from India, was just a line on a map. Also the European boarders were created by the Europeans themselves usually based on language and cultural differences. The dividing up of India in the 40s was fairly arbitrary and done by an outside power. But all country boarders are pretty meaningless at the end of the day when looking at a persons race which I think was what The Rev was getting at.

Of course, you now have to watch Fargo if you havent seen it already. Then you will get the "joke" of why everybody always says.. ..to Steve Buscemi. Already seen Fargo. Preferred it to TBL, if I'm honest. Ah but The Big Lebowski is at its funniest at about the 7th or 8th viewing. Report back then about which one you like more...

Wow she must have been quite the pro!

He has a mortgage and kids to think about don'cha know...

Yeah, when you were ten...

I agree that Empire Strikes Back is the best. However to call Return of the Jedi 'kiddy trash' is just madness. Madness I tell you!!! Yeah, cause fluffy "Ewaks" tripping over the elite republican soldiers whilst making cute noises isn't stupid. Not to mention the 'i'm your sister' plot twist which they messed up by having them get it on when they wrote the first movie.

Haha I voted for Phantom Menace but in reality they are all pretty crap movies except for 'Empire Strikes Back' which is actually a good film and 'A New Hope' which is not total rubbish despite the cheesy cliché plotline. The other 4 are kiddy trash though...

same thing! 8) It was the same thing until the British Raj decided to draw a line down the map a few years back....

I find it a bit frustrating with the reactions to the Carew/Heskey discussions. Carew lost the ball nearly every time he was passed it tonight, it was so frustrating because he was getting about the pitch and looking for the ball but he could not make them stick and gave it away even when not under a great deal of pressure time and time again. Heskey came on and was a lot more composed, held it up and found a player, won loads of flick ons to team mates yet he just gets slated on here. I know he is not going to be a goal threat but you can see why he is in the england side when he is so much calmer and stronger on the ball than Carew was tonight. Dunne was a monster though, what a top game all over the pitch. My only fault I could find was that I thought he could have come out to close Ireland when they scored their goal.
