so did Stuart Hall.

I don't have Facebook. Simple reason, I think it's utter shite, simple as that really. Just because i don't have one people just can't get there head around it and question this decision, "Why not? Everyone has Facebook !" Just leave me alone. Hopefully facebook will die soon enough and everyone will be gutted to have spent maybe 700 hours a year checking it (2 hours or so a day = 30 + full days a year looking at what people have for dinner or pregnancy countdowns FFS). Just saying like :-)

Well said. RIP Bob. Agreed, imagine if the members of the current Government showed as much commitment and fight about Britain and British people in the same way he fought for his members a better country it would be. IMO.

Cameron might not be sitting bare-chested on a horse like Putin but the message is the same. "Welcome to Narnia, call me Dave"

You just know it's the speaking clock (doing a David Brent ), he is just embarrassing himself. (Might be on the to Brooks, or the porn down loader or maybe Coulson ?) Does he realise what he looks like or does he actually get told what to do by PR people and he is just to weak to say no ? Well lets see what this leader does when a country gets invaded. People vote for this bloke

If he has defeated it then he won't mind getting injected with it again live on TV. To be honest nearly everything that comes out of religious countries is of comedy value only, especially where facts and science are concerned. Funny how he chooses to ignore the fact that some god gave it him in the first place :-)

Ok, in theory . Anyway, It would probably be held up in Rugby or something knowing my luck and I would end up on a replacement bus service, that would actually get overtaken by chipmunks on a skateboard. (TIP: Buy them plastic skateboards, not as good for tricks so i am told but ...well...wooden ones....well you can just guess

The closer you get to C the slower it all goes around you as far as I know. I think its like if you are on a train going 99.9999 % of C then if you run forward up the carriage everything MUST slow down or you would hit the 100 %. No matter what one does you can never quite get to the 100 % if anything ever does then its all gone wrong. (Its not just light it covers everything in the universe light / matter / doughnuts / chipmunks on a skateboard / top hats / loads of other things.....

I never really get hungry. If I am on my own in the house I forget to eat and only remember as i am going to sleep. Not my favourite thing eating, wastes an awful lot of time.

I'm all for exploration and I'm glad plans are being made to get to Mars. At the risk of being labelled a yoghurt knitter we need to sort out this planet because it is going to be **** pretty soon. Well it is for stuff we wonder about. I dont know what yoghurt knitter is ? Anyway, we don't have enough time or space to fix earth in time, that's what I am getting at and also. We will never find anything sitting on our hands.

I see what you mean but the alternative is to sit on this rock waiting for it to die. I am thinking we should be pro-active in this area. The funding thing is a problem yet we waste billions on wars about religion and various gods that have never and will never exist so sending stuff around the universe is far more productive than what we are wasting on here anyway.

Since the Voyager missions were quite a success and one is still going from what I understand why don't we do this :- Make 1000 + Voyager type craft which are basically fired into the regions of the universe we think looks interesting (from a goldilocks type perspective). The change is that when these are built they are built to travel only and report back what they see, forget all that. Get them to be able to hit the surface of a planet and basically explode. Load em up with as much interesting organisms, bacteria and basically anything that currently does not get on these craft. Fire them out with the only task, find a planet , tell us where it is, get through the atmosphere and land spreading the earth type goodness (send something to see how its going in a few hundred years. Why ? Why not. What would it do, who knows, got to be better than looking at it all (Space) and well looking some more. This is our job to do IMO and who says its not ? Who decided not to do this, maybe something did similar with earth billions of years ago ? (Religion / I believe in god(s) and all that **** has no right to infringe on this as its a disease / illness of the mind and thus a personnel thing entirely IMO).

Well we are playing championship style of football. We would fit right in with no real change in tactics needed, for once we are ahead of the game so to speak. With the low wages in place and no plans to increase Villa Park (as promised) coupled with the style of football and general slow death of the club from the outside I could see how it looks like that's where we are actually planning on going. It would be a disaster but that's obvious but the disasters have been going on season after season, decade after decade. Just smaller ones with less immediate impact and less headline worthy. I was having a clear up last week in the house, I found the little A2 sized wallet (Claret colour) from when Lerner took over. A little postcard fell out, big letters.... "We plan to challenge for an play in the Champions League every season" Never mind list of players saying good enough, not good enough, needs time etc. Waste of time, there are maybe 10 % of a squad worth keeping IMO. The shirt, the ground, the history the badge and the fans together were AVFC. All gone, all I do is sit and watch it week after week slowly getting worse. It's not fun, waiting for the goals to go in against us. On Sunday I paused the game live just as the ball flew up in the penalty box. I knew it, you all knew it that Newcastle were going to score. Newcastle, they are in crisis, wtf are we in then ? Dunno if it's my age, (42) but this is not going anywhere near how it should. There is no one party to blame for this, collectively they are just a pantomime of a football club that is a hall of mirrors reflection of what we used to be. Rant Over.

Can you really handle the truth ?

Is it a Gold pen because you are old or does it have special powers like a light saber ? Just wondering like ?

Is it Orange Nope definitely not (and not green either). It drops less calls than all the other networks including the network that owns the masts

I work for a Mobile Network in Holland. I don't have 1 job title as I do a bit of Billing, Network stuff (SIMS and stuff), Finance and I.T. This suits my ADD / ADHD and the other things fine. Many times we have tries to pin it down to one thing but that relies on no one asking me to do stuff. Real interesting and we have just invented a product that no one else can do in the same way. Been here 13 years so far of an initial 6 month try out in another country,

Quick Question, if they go and they do it without the pound I would say they are going to fail. (They are a sidecar choosing to leave the motorcycle) but when they inevitably fail and fall on their arse would there be a way back in for them at any point ? Could it be turned around so we have a referendum on if they can come back in ? (Now that result would be funny, I would say 80 % plus of English people would want them out but thats a guess, maybe we should have a poll ?) Also, they claim that they will keep the pound no matter what, even if Westminster says no: That has got to be illegal somewhere along the line ? If that's the case then Wales could just start using the Dollar if it went also ? + if someone from England went to Scotland (Fook knows why but ...) and went into a shop can we legally buy something using a currency that does not exist in the country i am spending it in.

I see what you mean, thanks for the great reply. It's super complicated that's for sure. I thought I was onto something but back to the drawing board so to speak. Thinking about it, if there is a dodgy person in one's community then I suspect that the community as a whole will be keeping a very close eye on them I suppose + the additional checks for jobs working with children has shut some obvious doors to them. 3000 posts for me

I wonder if, over the last 30 years if the amount of coverage and the increase in people caught for stuff like this and paraded on the news has inadvertently increased the problem ? Now, my thinking is that before everyone had internet I suppose the temptation was just not there for these people but now you have the news basically telling these people there is "Stuff" online if you care to find it. This is not really blaming the media as they report what has occurred but in this type of criminal activity it kind of feels like a self fulfilling prophecy. So the more we report it the more it will happen. Basically is the amount of abuse carried out now comparable to say that of 50 years ago ? I would say no but that's a guess tbh. Thoughts, (I have a migraine so it might not make any sense)

Poor Dave, so out of his depth. Painful to watch.

Could be ADD / ADHD. Its the impulse to say stuff and there not being a mechanism to stop it coming out into the world. Sounds like it as the lack of swearing / spitting / ticks and stuff points to something else. (get him to do one of the 100's of tests on the internet) It makes me tired to try and keep my mouth shut, especially in meetings and things. (Not great with emails or even worse, instant messaging at work. ) When I said "Me love you long time, 5 dorra" to the Philippine cleaner at work for example. Not my best moment :-)

As one of my mates observed. "Londoners enjoyed public investment of £2,731 per head, far outstripping any other region. The north-east received a measly £5 per head." http://tinyurl.com/opcd7gb I suppose England can't do a Scotland also and get out, leave the South as a (new) country on it's own ? Pro's and con's but Birmingham would be the Capital of England for a start. Below Watford could be called "TonCrusty" or similar.

I read them and really enjoyed them also. I have been on the lookout for something of a similar type. I was on Amazon the other day and it recommended me a book call "Wool" by Hugh Howey. I am 70 % through it and it is very enjoyable and with a girl as the main character. All takes place in a Silo and has a massive time scale which i like. It is a series of 7 or 8 books but I got 1-6 for about €6 from amazon in Kindle. I am proper enjoying it so far.

Cut ciggies down from 20 a day to 2 a day + 1 x Dutch special ciggie before bed time :-) (Its funny what being a new grandad will do to one's outlook on life) Also..... betting is a funny thing, I was €200 down this season 2 weeks ago and now I am up €350. Everything I bet on in the last 2 weeks came in.
