Hows our own American keeper coming on? Havent heard much about him recently. Cody something or other.

Its a temporary repent though - there'll be more wailing and 'Adkins isnt up to it, the club only win when they play the way I think they should' next time we lose. We'll then have another dozen or so changes of mind concluding with "I knew that would happen" at the end of the season.

The NHS really is incredibly complicated to manage. Most private companies provide a relatively small number of standard products which they make or sell to a smallish number of customers. Once you get into bespoke tailor made products / services things tend to get complicated. Providing individually bespoke packages of care to 3 million 'customers' a week from a huge range of specialties is like no other private business.

That roofline is way out of true.

Perhaps the most likely history of Palestine is that modern day Palestinians were orginally Jews who stayed in situ and later converted to Christianity and subsequently Islam. Modern day Jews left with advent of Christianity - thereby presumably forfeiting their right to the land 'given to them by God' because they abandoned it. Palestinians meanwhile stayed and retained that right. Its a bit rich to turn up in an area after 1,500 years demanding the return of the land your ancestor sold to his brother. http://epiphenom.fieldofscience.com/2009/01/shared-genetic-heritage-of-jews-and.html

How many tactical mistakes is Adkins allowed? (Part 2)
buctootim replied to Dibden Purlieu Saint's topic in The Saints
Put in an excellent performance against an in-form top PL team and get beaten - wailing, Adkins is a numpty, woe is me. Put in an excellent performance against a god-awful bottom PL QPR team and win - plaudits, Adkins gets it spot on, fantastic. -
The problem isnt lack of land in the area - its a lack of viable productive land. Surely one option would be for Jordan or Egypt to provide a largely empty slice of desert to become contiguous with the Gaza strip and part of the West bank and for the international community to pump money in to create a viable state. Theres only about 4 million of them. £20bn pa spent on roads, water, schools, jobs and electricity infrastructure has got to be a better and cheaper long term solution than 70 years of war, confrontations, instability and terrorism.

Accounts are relatively meaningless when a company is owned by an individual - whats counts are their intentions, and we just don't know those. The Glazer's used Man U's cashflow to load it up with debt and keep the rest of their empire afloat and got away with it, just. People like Abramovich just want a plaything or a vehicle for tax writeoffs. Saints debt might be something or nothing - without the Liebherrs saying then no-one knows.

Those slow aircaft carriers are **** too. They can easily be caught by a destroyer. Speed is the only thing that counts yunno.

Plus its frigging bleak when you get there. Alright for two weeks in July with electricity, blankets and a supermarket. Long term survival stone age style on a Scottish Island erm no thanks. Supermikey hasnt really thought through why most of them are so empty already

So you agree with me then. Because of the holocaust and a determination to not let it be possible again they destroyed the homes and forcibly evicted 750,000 Palestinians who had nothing to do with their suffering. Perhaps Britain should have kicked out the Catholics when France and Spain declared war on us?

Really? What would you call the 1948 ethnic cleansing of 750,000 Palestinians then?
-
The Palestinians got screwed as a by-product of the desire to give the Jews a home. What happened in WW2 meant you had a rushed and imperfect state creation with insufficient protection for minorities, and an Israeli Government with many of the same views as the people they had just suffered under.

The Uruguayan President is a bit of an eccentric who lives a frugal lifestyle on a farm and gives 90% of his Presedential salary away. Ive no idea what his policies are - but I like what he says and how he lives - if only because its a total contrast to our own self serving, bend the truth sound bite and image obessed leaders. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-20243493

Drive Safely now that winter is here - Don't end up like this lot!

A lot of those clips are from Russia. The Russians have a whole different psyche which takes wrecklessness to a new level. I drove once from Ekaterinburg to Samara in the Urals. Seems like about one third of drivers have a deathwish and another third have totally defective vehicles, brakes and tyres. Would never do it again. -

Norwegian.com - about £100 if you book it well in advance. Check tripadvisor for hotels if you dont get first hand recommendations.

This, or cannabis. As long as the horse wasnt doped I don't see it matters that much.

I had a fling with a Recorder once (junior judge) so when we had sex I became Injustice *******

Crimes or not the man the PST are proposing takes control of Fratton Park has a long history of shady dealing, marginal legality and maximising benefit to himself. By contrast he seems a little light on past philanthropy and altruistic assitance of others. He will be looking to get control of FP as part of a wider agenda of enriching himself - not saving Portsmouth FC.

Who are the expensively dressed mostly blonde women who sit near him most games. Are they Liebherrs?
