According to somewhere I read/heard they are blaming an arabic religious holiday as interfering with the day funds where meant to be transfered. How. F**king. Lame.

I never had a digital arial in the first place, thus rendering the digital box they sent me in return for resigning to a contract I had no intention of straying away from anyway totally useless in my area. If anyone wants this piece of junk PM me.

#On topic# I have no infractions but 1 'referal,' whatever the hell that is. Ok, back to the thread's tangent.

The only worry is that it could be very easily and maliciously editted. A list of 'approved' users would probably have to be drawn up who can add and amend entries. #submits own name for list#

Really looking forward to January. It's great to be feeling positive about a transfer window.

What a weight off our minds it is, not just out, but 2 points clear. And we can push on further, only a couple of points gap from mid table, and then the playoffs.... they are attainable!!!

Have to agree that the US wouldn't come to 'our' aid per sé. I would expect them to send a token relief force but most logistical and financial help would probably come from the EU. The US would just use this as a case for further war and a case study as to why more action needs taking against rogue nations. Further repurcussions at a time when the UK is at it's knees could include a new Argentine invasion of the Falklands, Spanish pressure for the return of Gibraltar (in exchange for 'aid') and cherry picking of any further remaining colonies. The British Commonwealth could cease to exist as the independant nations within it could see no further economic point in remaining tied to it. What a stunning film Threads is though, if anyone needs a reason for Nuclear Dissarmourment, that is surely it. The choice to die in a painful drawn out way or instantly, which would be better? -
Just went undercover to ask what he thought their chances are of paying debts when in the Championship would be. The answer was a typical 'er, it'll be more difficult!' type answer, no further details, just dismissive. Heads in the sand.

My thoughts exactly, I look forward to being proven wrong.

Ok, using this: http://www.carloslabs.com/projects/200712B/GroundZero.html I have dropped a 400kt bomb on Hythe (Near to Fawley) Hythe would be destroyed, totally vapourised therefore there would be significant fallout and blast turbulence damage effecting the whole of Southampton, the New Forest and the Isle of Wight. The city would have to be evacuated and would cease to be habitable, an Evacutaion of the IOW, Southampton and Neighbouring villages would take place, it can be estimated that about 700,000 people would need to be relocated. Immediate casualties would probably number the total population of the immediate Hythe area and a fair proportion of Southampton, say 50,000 or so. There would be no city anymore, imagine a Pripyiat type wasteland. Eventually, say 50 years or so repopulation could occur, but only after the radiation had returned to background levels, I wouldn't imagine a full relatively quick rebuild a lá Hiroshima or Nagasaki would occur. The fleeing poplace would have to be scattered to Wiltshire, Somerset and Berkshire. Any relatively open space (Salisbury Plain etc) would be set as immediate evacuation areas with Winchester and Bournemouth/Poole acting as redeployment centres. I would expect rapid growth of places such as Basingstoke, Newbury, Oxford and Yeovil, maybe through the relatively sparse West Country as the refugees scatter. Internationally, there would be outcry. There would be a UN response but I would expect the US would want to use this as the catalyst for an invasion of Iran/Pakistan and any associate nation that could be perceived as having a Nuclear threat and terrorist associations. As for what happens next, buy 'Threads' from Amazon.com. I could see total horror should anyone blink and fire the first weapon. -

Say Pearl Harbour had never happened, that was mentioned earlier in the thread, that would be a very interesting one. Japan would continue their rampage across Asia and it would be a straight scrap between the Uk/Russia and Germany. Japan would surely have focused it's energies on supressing China and then expanding into Russia forcing the Red Army to fight on two fronts. This would take the full heat off of the German effort in Europe, Russia would have fallen and then innevitably so would the UK. The Axis powers would effectively have controlled Eurasia leaving the US exposed and isolated, war would then have followed, America would then have eventually folded. Maybe..... -
Frankly if it was me I would save whoever I could get to first. The true definition of a no-win scenario.

I have a HD tele and it came with a Blu ray player. I no longer order DVD's as the quality is infinitely better, it's tricky to notice in some films though untill you go back to the original resolution as they are ported from formats that do not support the full capability of the format.

There are loads like that between Kettering and Peterborough, single carriageway national speed limit and they do 40 EVERYWHERE! Through the country, through villages past primary schools, the lot. The sort of doddery feckers who believe they are the safest thing on the road when infact they are just a moving roadblock at best. HATE them.

He would be welcomed like royalty, and besides, isn't he (allegedly) a Saints fan?

Dad tried to go in there after the Charlton game last weekend but it was shut and had a 'For Sale' sign over it's entrance, has it closed down or is it just opening at limited times?

Watching 'Hard Candy' right now. Ellen Page is a remarkable young actress.

Mark Wright or Alan Shearer

Anywhere I can download that? I think I just came a little listening to that.....

Mine was Sheffield Wednesday in 1999/2000. Sat in the home end. We won 1-0 by a penalty, kept quiet when we scored out of fear. Havn't seen us win there since. (Ok, was never going to win, but wanted to share.)

Same, but on Blu ray. Loved it! Wanted to hate it, but loved it.

Another great chance to prove ourselves. I would anticipate McDons in the final afterwards, and then Dirrrrrtay Leeds.
