Nah. I know plenty of miserable bastards. Most are just content to wallow in their own misery. GS seems more about schadenfraude. If the misery doesn't exist, he'll generate it by posting. I've never called for anyone to be banned, but I do think this site is woefully behind the times in terms of features.

Fk, so now I have autism as well as Asperger's? Et tu, bletchus?

Should be a piece of p!ss for aintforever to defeat them all, then.

I'm not as active on weekends either. Been particularly quiet the last couple of weekends. Could be me.

And to think, after the denouement of the Barry Sanchez episode, I thought I'd never get to use this again. It's conveniently universal.

Tell you what, if you're so confident that you're actually wiping the floor with me, and not just a flacid component of a wider mob, go create an account on David Icke's forums. Use your floor-wipin' ability to convince them all of your ideas. Let us all know your username so we can track your progress. You won't, because you've nothing to say if one of the skirts you're hiding under didn't say it first.

To be fair, I was going to make the point about any self-respecting mechanic having his or her own tools, probably top-notch ones at that. We'll call it a draw, KRG.

Yeah, it'd be like footballers playing FIFA. That never happens.

Sorry mucker, Verbal has just arrived. Jousting with him is a far better use of my time and resources. Perhaps when he has done his 3 posts I can address some of the filler.

Of all the things I have witnessed on this forum, few have given me as much personal satisfaction as watching you become a reaction to me. You're like the forum version of a bee. Sure you can sting, but not without killing yourself in the process. Sayonara sayanim

I don't accept that as a good enough reason for your conclusions.

What the f**k have I been doing with my life?

You can apply some common sense. If it's a suicide bid, why deactivate most of the tracking systems and keep the plane flying for seven hours?

Amazed to learn that myself today. EU citizens can move there, right?

Disassociated. The Fast Show link is only relevant because Colin Hunt had a flight simulator, and would force his relatives to endure real-time transatlantic flights. So a bit of a fantasist.

If the tragic version of a Fast Show sketch is the most likely scenario this board can conjure (and crucially, get behind), I worry for the power of critical thinking. I'm 38; I've known a number of people to take their own lives. Some were completely out of the blue; some were part of a wider problem or local statistical bump (I lived in a town where a frighteningly high number of people per capita committed suicide). None of them have ever taken anyone else with them. I acknowledge that it has happened; we've seen it happen on airlines. However, I really don't buy it here. There are the seven hours of satellite pings to consider. What's that all about? I get grief on here for some of my suggestions; those of you that have got behind this line of thinking are essentially saying that you think this chap was so depressed that instead of just taking his own life in a locked garage or something, decided to become a mass murderer instead. I'm not behind any particular theory at the moment. There really isn't much to go on. However, after a week of searching there isn't one piece of physical evidence to back up the suicide hypothesis or even the notion that the plane actually crashed. I find it a bit of a stretch to adjudge a pilot of mass murder because he has a flight simulator in his house.

Traditional wisdom (parroted several times already, I might add) is that the players are already on their holidays. This wisdom is to be applied to any club in our situation (comfortably mid/top table and shouldn't get above themselves).

I used to laugh at the "Glasgow is a skate" theory.

The Times of Israel has a story playing the Iranian angle. http://www.timesofisrael.com/ex-el-al-expert-iran-likely-involved-in-mh-370/ Some decent quotes here re: the "Colin Hunt theory":-

As a father of two girls, I find your comment sexist. That said, yes. http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/digitalfoundry-2014-titanfall-next-gen-face-off Next-gen face-off for Titanfall.

Scratch that, isn't that exactly what Town Quay was in the early 90s?

I've had this debate in my own head. Is it nationality or the footballing framework that's important? Certainly you could argue that a great deal of Schneiderlin's development is down to his time in England. That's fair enough, but my fear is that Football Associations around the world will exploit this and leave international football meaning nothing. I know the French and the Irish have benefited from the loose definition of nationality and have already muddied the waters, but as the originators of the game, not sure we have that option.

Yeah; whereas my feeling is that it could just as easily be a tool of the trade. The grade of his gear would support that ( most flight sim stuff aimed at a recreational audience tends to be less authentic ).

With much less respect, your ostensible level of intellect means you are not best placed to judge others.

The monitors could be angled that way if it ever takes my fancy. The point is that 3 screen setups aren't that unusual. Been supported by major vendors for years. Most of those controls are unusual, but no more out of place than medical gear in a doctor's gaff.
