Sadly, it's a no.

I can be on hand to confirm Barry sightings. Post any suspected Barry's on here. I'll verify. He's about 5'10'', goatee-capable and strides about looking like he's rushing for something at the other end of the room.

Blimey, ottery I've always viewed the "straight-to-insult" thing as a mixed blessing. On the one hand, you've got people saying nasty things, but on the other, doesn't really play that well over the long term. Verbal has been pulled repeatedly for the consistently negative way he goes about (ahem) "debating". He's played the anti-semitic nuke so many times that it fails to be impressive anymore. Besides, according to Netanyahu, anyone who supports the BDS boycotts is anti-semitic. A lot of people fall into that camp, myself included. Now call me elitist if you must, but if I've got the choice of who gets to falsely apply that weaponised term to me, I'm going to take the Israeli leader's endorsement over that of an impotent internet cockmunch any day of the week.

Have I missed something here? Someone off the forum stalking you?

I wouldn't let him rile you. Never has a shark been so utterly toothless swimming in its own waters as Verbal here. It's not like these accusations are even new. It's repeat play from 2012. The accusations of cowardice might be new and they elicited a rumbling chuckle from me. Captain Anonymous calling anyone a coward

Enjoy your bingo and beer, plebs. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-26660530 Incredible.

Some interesting stuff from the BBC, of all places. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-26653295 Ukraine TV boss hounded by far right members of Parliament and forced to resign under duress. Video. These are the people we might be putting our sons and daughters on the line for. *sigh*

I'm somewhat acclimatised to the scouse accent, so to me. Rickie just comes across as a down-to-earth lad with a healthy measure of objectivity and detachment. You can just imagine Osvaldo responding to a negative tweet. "Tell me where he live!" It all ends well. They get close and have a headbanging party.

Good post, JackFrost. I wonder where your friends, or indeed the likes of Minsk on here, place the Eurasian Union in the equation. How big a political project is this for Putin? The West has managed to gain some degree of permanent sovereignty over many former satellite states with the stroke of the pen through the prism of the EU. Is the Eurasian Union a counterbalance to the European Union? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eurasian_Union

I've been catching up on Walking Dead after much prodding from the missus. I took my hiatus before the Governor episodes and am now three episodes into my backlog, concluding with the mid-season hiatus cliff-hanger. I used to get narked at LOST for all its side-shifting in favour of forward movement, but the show's focus on this thoroughly evil bastard was riveting stuff, from the murdering to the manipulating to the all out war. Very nice trilogy of episodes, and am starting to understand some of the OMGs I saw on Facebook at the time. People died, the fate of many is unknown - and you have to wait a few months to find out. Bastards. That's how they got me with TNG. I must say that apart from the vast majority of people you've ever known being eaten and zombified, and the certain knowledge that you'll be zombified when you die, the world of the Walking Dead does have its positives. With a couple of exceptions, nearly every adult on the planet is attractive. Zombie preference is clearly m!nger.

Tweet the club, dude. I just have.

I've seen it loads and don't know of too many people that have. Amazing how repeat watching can turn something into a personal classic. However, we're not alone. It's listed as a cult classic too.

Sorry mucker; I didn't see your post. But she'd be a good shout regardless.

Suarez's situation is closer to Morg's one, imo. Both established players that already have connections within the club. Osvaldo was a new signing gone wrong. Fair point on Kenwyne, but our situation was completely different then.

It's over, Saintandy666. Let them go

Kirk Acevedo for Cortese:- Rene Zellweger for Katharina:-

Haven't Liverpool successfully challenged this piece of conventional wisdom with Suarez? Agree with the rest of your post.

I almost chuckled when I read "four tonnes of mangoes". Do they really carry those on planes? That's equivalent to three, maybe four Americans.

Great post, as usual Hamilton. I think you've eloquently expressed the double standards at play here. Putin got a bigger clap, tho

You're technically correct, of course. Iraq (the political entity) is less than 100 years old, a result of the map-changing that occurred after the First World War. However, it also contains a region considered the cradle of civilisation and was once home to Babylon, the New York of the ancient world.

One laptop or hard drive could be worth billions, depending on what's on it.

Yeah, it looks impressive until you ask the killer question:- "96% of what?" It's rather meaningless if you don't have the figure it's based on. (nicked from NeoGAF)

I agree that you certainly wouldn't expect to have valuable cargo on a commercial jetliners, but it's not really a case of whether it's common practice or not. Comes down to whether it is possible. Besides, one man's trash is another man's treasure, especially in the digital age. Look at what Snowden managed to carry with him.

Now you're talking. Not on this list, though; http://www.smh.com.au/world/missing-malaysia-airlines-plane-flight-theory-tracker-20140319-hvkbl.html
