  2. Its ****** Pap. Made up to fit a view. Pretty common on here at present. http://www.fwi.co.uk/Articles/15/02/2011/125501/UK-self-sufficiency-in-food-how-bad-is-it.htm
  3. The Lion the Snatch and the Wardrobe.
  4. Good call. I just googled him and I think it is. Thanks.

  6. There is a Saints player tackling David Ginola on the picture on the Spurs page. Cant place him. Any ideas? http://www.talksport.co.uk/magazine/features/120426/all-time-premier-league-table-top-20-clubs-past-20-years-170665?p=14
  7. They already are. While China gets a lot of bad press for its new coal fuelled power stations (which are still way less per head than the UK or US) they are putting enormous amounts of money and research into both energy efficiency and developing sustainable energy - putting the west to shame. http://www.nytimes.com/2010/01/31/business/energy-environment/31renew.html?pagewanted=all
  8. Jesus you're tedious
  9. Sh ittysh ittygangbang
  10. I bet a lot of them want to but wont. If they are Pompey area based it would hurt their business to be known as a company that liquidated the local football club.

    Barca should have played route 1
  12. Birch on interest: No-one is making the noises that will convince me. I am still trying to keep them at the table So in other words 'they are just tyre kickers but I'm trying to stop them walking away because then I would have to admit I have no interested parties at all.'
  13. Im not saying they caused the problem, just that its in their interests to announce a press grabbing dramatic 'tunnel collapse' when maintenance workers have a grievance.
  14. RMT are blaming TfL for "a cavalier attitude to safety" on the exact day RMT memeber maintenance workers at Tfl are out on on strike........
  15. Good post. Lord Adair Turner (Former head of the CBI, FSA and Head of economics at the World Bank) gives a compelling speech on this. He basically says that climate change is real and happening - even a cursory review of the evidence tells you that. However even if you arent certain that man made change is occurring, sentient human beings must believe it is possible. If you think something is possible then you insure against it. People insure houses, cars and ships not because they think they are going to burn, crash or sink but because the consequences on what would happen if they did would be catastrophic. The same applies to climate change. Reducing carbon emissions by 80% is easily achievable even with current technologies. It isnt even expensive - costing around 0.9% of GDP over a fifty year period - ie we will be as rich in May 2060 as we would have been in January 2060 without preparing for climate change. Pay the small premium and avoid potential catastrophe, it isnt rocket science Would any of the posters here go through 50 years qwithout any kind of life, household, car or health insurance? I dont think so.
  16. Lulz. Thats fantastic! In the red corner we have a five times married, Deism adherent dead novelist (someone who writes made up stories) and in the blue corner the usual assortment of NASA, the Royal Society, nobel prize winners, department of defence etc. I guess you're in the cadre of Saintweb posters who are so desperate to believe what they want to believe they will just stick their fingers in their ears. Symptom of aging Im afraid. .

    This one of those French jokes I'm not going to get isnt it? Its not 'Chlorine' and now Im stuck.
  19. I'd take it. Ive also legally avoided tax before (albeit when I was getting divorced and was strapped for cash to buy a house to keep my two kids). Would I take £10 billion if given to me? - yes absolutely. Would I lie to protect my child from jail? - yes almost certainly. Do I speed on occasion - yep. It doesnt mean that the Government should enable tax avoidance, perjury and abolish speeding limits. Individuals will usually act logically in their own interests and those of their children. The government should act logically in the interests of all the people
  20. Thanks. I now know not to take any of your posts seriously again.
  21. Serious question. Do you actually read any of the links, or avoid doing so in case you learn something which contradicts the beliefs you want to hold? Why would paintballers, sawmills and Equestrian centres be in the CLA? This is why http://www.cla.org.uk/Members_Area/Why_join_the_CLA/
  22. The belief disconfirmation paradigm
  23. Yes, if you disregard Scotland, ignore the 25% of land which isnt registered because it has been in the same ownership for more than 20 years, ignore the fact that the average size of a farm in England is 123 acres and include country businesses such as small equestrian units, sawmills and paintballers you can indeed get the average holding of CLA members down to 686 acres. Alternatively it might look less head in the sand to simplt total up what the 2,000 largest landholders own.
  24. Well its more than a possibility, its a certainty. The question is, will they find a buyer? Unlikely but I wouldnt get my hopes up too high. I still Chanrai will buy them, sell Fratton and any players he can and then sell the rump for £1.
  25. You are wrong. "The 36,000 members of the CLA own about 50% of the rural land in England and Wales" http://www.countrylife.co.uk/property_news/article/506200/Who-really-owns-Britain-.html
