The knives are out for UKIP. Think this will backfire, imo. People just aren't as arsed about this sort of stuff. EDIT: Sorry. Didn't see this was TMS. Phwoar, etc.

I'm sure it will be an extremely popular scheme in the Flower Estates. Great for identifying potential grasses while they're young.

Yes, it does make it slightly better tbh, I may well get a Mac at some point to complement my existing setup. They are pretty nice machines for everything apart from gaming or Android connectivity; I've still got the PCs for everything else. I'm with you on almost every other game (unless it's broken!). However, with FM I genuinely feel like it can be too damn random. Oh, didn't win anything this year? Never mind; just spend another 14 hours of real time trying next year, yeah? I've long said I'd like a mini-version of Football Manager (smaller than classic, even) that just tells me how great I am at managing football teams, even though it's demonstrably untrue.

They're not f**king "jifs". They're GIFs. Graphical Interchange Format. Yes, I've heard stupid people (particularly US folk) use jif, but I expected better from bTripz.

Hampshire Hitlerjugend? Get that political reliability sorted quickly!

It's a hundred quid you could have spent on games or putting toward your inevitable PS4

For those still looking to get a One, this outlet is now banging them out at £329.00 with FIFA. http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CO-114-MS&groupid=1720&catid=2448 Found at Eurogamer. http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2014-04-24-xbox-one-and-fifa-14-bundle-spotted-for-329 Serious question to One owners; are ye miffed that you've effectively paid more than £100 than people picking up the machine now?

-1000 geek points +1000 twát points Your time. Your money. Do as thou wilt. I'm amazed anyone has the time to play this without cheating.

Don't worry. We've got our French allies. Rock solid in 1940. They won't spend decades arguing amongst themselves at all

"Land monopoly is not the only monopoly, but it is by far the greatest of monopolies – it is a perpetual monopoly, and it is the mother of all other forms of monopoly." Churchill RT's Max Keiser riffs on the theme this week. It focuses on the changes in home ownership in the UK. Keiser repeats Thatcher's point about socialism being great until you run out of other people's money, making the case that the private rented sector is essentially the same. [video=youtube;5tBd-ZzXW7Q] Careful now. The above show was made with Putin's money! It's obviously not going to paint the UK in the best light, but at the same time, we all know that we have chronic problems with housing. Is land monopoly the biggest factor at play here? Are we moving from a nation of homeowners to a nation of renters and rentiers?

Ooh! This is a nice coincidence. Ties in well with the Occupy beatdowns

The problem is that we never have, and that extends to most of the institutions responsible for the propagation of Christianity, especially the Catholic Church. Forget all the mumbo jumbo about the Son of God. What does religion actually allow you to achieve if you're running it? Depending on the time you choose to examine it, it's anything from empire of the mind to tithing money-spinner, and often all of those things at the same time.

Utterly subverting the intended message via social media is becoming one of the most populist forms of dissent. There's a lot of it about. It's amazing that NYPD even gave this a try, given the number of photos that have been fired back their way. A few bad apples in the Big Apple, or part of the big zero tolerance approach and tacitly supported by the mayoral administration? Either way, it's a little bit worrying to see the f**kers tooled up like they're going to war.

Here's a slightly more upbeat one, evoking a classic theme. Fat copper with night stick vs ninja wielding an invisible sword.

I was wondering that myself. It looks like some kind of shin-pad with a boot guard. His planted foot looks weird because it's off to the side. Dunno what its for though. Extra kicking the f**k out of someone capacity? Active denial system for the stamping of toes? Scuff protection? We must have our stormtroopers looking their best

It's bollócks, and a bit racist if you think about it. Here's a picture of a NYPD cop with an interesting gun to cheer you up.

I really dislike finger-printing at airports in any country. The default is to treat you like a criminal? Yeah, thanks. Horrible practice.

It's not good if like me, you're enjoying our Roy of the Rovers youth team wet dream (metaphor, people!). However, I can live with it when clubs don't take the píss. Arsenal have been decent when dealing with us. Can we honestly say that United are taking the píss with this sort of offer for a young player?

Don't want him to go, but agree with all of this.

I'm not a fan of the way the US does authority. Arriving at one of their airports gives the worst impression of the country. My general experience is that they've been terse, rude and somewhat scary - whereas British coppers are capable of a bit of a laugh.

My guess is that one hand doesn't know what the other is doing. Look! A dog being frisked

The Strokes did a song back on "Is this it?" called New York City Cops. According to the lyrics, they ain't too smart. The latest Twitter shítstorm is unfolding after the New York City police department decided to go on a charm and marketing offensive with the #myNYPD hashtag. http://www.theguardian.com/world/2014/apr/23/mynypd-twitter-call-out-new-york-police-backfires Things went badly awry the moment the public started associating their own photos with the hashtag. Who else loves the smell of police brutality in the morning, especially with a garnish of backfire?

Lol, I don't hate the man. As I said before, he needs time out of the game before coming back (and possibly a primer on attacking football/substitutions). Don't want him here, though.

Don't change the subject. You were asking for evidence that he's a bad manager, on the day after he's been sacked for turning last year's champions into this year's joke. Not got enough?
