Cheers. Yep, most of the bad reviews of these remote streaming solutions seem to point the finger at video lag so, as you say, maybe it'll be find for the flash audio feed from Saints Player...

Has anyone tried this iPhone app? http://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/photon-flash-web-browser-full/id453546382?mt=8 Seems to get mixed reviews. It claims to stream any Flash Player content from servers in the US. They say "It works best over WIFI compared to 3G" which, again, goes part way to defeating the object of listening/watching on the move.

I think you're right there. I got an advert for joining mensa.... ;-)

I lived near Colchester for 5 years in the early 90s and it's pretty much equidistant from the M3 junction to the A12 junction regardless of which way. The clockwise route was probably the busiest (on balance) but you've got the toll tunnel/bridge going anti-clockwise. I'm not being very helpful, am I...?! ;-)

Best Saints captain ever or what?

http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/14457271.stm TEAM NEWS Southampton midfielder Richard Chaplow sits out the first of a three-game ban after his sending-off at Barnsley. Defender Radhi Jaidi (knee) is still out, so Dan Seaborne and Aaron Martin will play at centre-back. Recent signing Danny Fox is in the squad. Eh...?

Horse's mouth?

^This (I fear)

Yes, at least a year ago.

"When you said you'd found somewhere to launder our money (allegedly), I naturally assumed it would be cleaner than this place..."

In the next 6 months? Or sooner?

In the next 12 months? Or sooner?

I'm also hearing the pope is a catholic.... ;-))

In the footballing world, a public denial is usually a sure sign it's about to happen....

Not that I wish to exacerbate my Devil's Advocateness, but.....I believe they are referring to the underlying current of 'liberalness' that has reigned-in the natural instincts of the Tory party (to a certain degree) In other words, it's the clamour of both main parties to secure the centre ground, i.e. the part of society that is typically underpinned by liberal values, that has diluted what the Tories would instinctively instigate, particularly in the area of law and order. There again, maybe not...

This should keep the thread going for another few pages.... RICHARD LITTLEJOHN: The politics of envy was bound to end up in flames Much more of this and I’ll have to go out and loot myself a new television. There have been several times this week I’ve come close to putting my foot through the plasma screen. Frankly, I don’t know what’s worse: Harriet Harman on Newsnight disgracefully trying to blame the Tory ‘cuts’ for this week’s robfest, or the rolling news channels giving airtime to masked criminals. Why have producers been prepared to allow young thieves to shelter their identities beneath face masks, sunglasses and hoodies while they complain about the police? The BBC and Channel 4, in particular, have been anxious to portray these violent thugs and looters as victims. We’ve heard the usual garbage about social exclusion and police hostility to minorities. Every lame excuse has been trotted out, from lack of job opportunities to tuition fees. As I wrote on Tuesday, there’s no lack of job vacancies, it’s just that they’ve all been filled by hard-working Eastern Europeans attracted here after Labour tore up Britain’s border controls. The kind of hooligan seen throwing petrol bombs at the police and climbing through the front window of Currys to liberate 42 inches of hi-def, surround-sound home entertainment isn’t interested in a law-abiding, nine-to-five existence. Most of them don’t get up before midday, except on the mornings they have to sign on the dole. They’d rather live on benefits or the proceeds of gang crime. Yet we are told that if only the Coalition hadn’t slashed spending on youth clubs, they’d all have a more wholesome outlet for their energies and wouldn’t be tempted into crime and disorder. Do me a favour. We’re talking about a wolfpack of feral inner-city waifs and strays who spend their time smoking dope, drinking lager and playing Grand Theft Auto on their stolen PlayStations. The soundtrack of their lives comprises wealthy, bling-laden rappers, surrounded by near-naked booty, singing about smacking *****es and killing cops. Are we seriously being asked to believe that they are going to turn their backs on the glamorous gangsta lifestyle in exchange for a little light table tennis? Yeah, right. There was a hand-wringing report on the local news in London which involved a social worker taking a BBC reporter on a tour of derelict playgrounds and boarded-up five-a-side football pitches. The reason they’ve been abandoned is not because of the ‘savage cuts’, as the report would have had you believe, but because they have been firebombed, vandalised and colonised by drugs dealers. Plenty of the rioters on the streets this week are of school age. Few of them even bother going to school, so they’re hardly going to sign up for a youth club. The idea that they’re protesting about tuition fees is beyond preposterous. Up went the cry: where are the parents? Don’t be so naive. The babyfathers are long gone, if they ever hung around in the first place. In most cases, their mothers are stuck in front of daytime television or are out on the game to feed their drugs habit. Some of the parents were out looting alongside their offspring. The realisation is finally dawning in some quarters that we’re now into the third, or even fourth generation of inner-city underclass. There are plenty of decent mums on some of these estates, but they are fighting a daily losing battle against the gang culture. As Max Hastings and Melanie Phillips have argued eloquently on these pages, this is the inevitable outcome of 30 years of Left-wing social experimentation, aimed deliberately at destroying the social fabric of our country. Many of those politicians attacking the Met’s sluggish response to the riots have spent their careers undermining and emasculating the police. They have created the conditions for this anarchy. The police are hamstrung by legislation and terrified of being accused of racism. So it’s hardly surprising that instead of clubbing these looters like baby seals, which is what they deserved, they initially stood back and watched while shops were plundered and homes burned down. Just wait for the witch hunt against those Manchester officers caught on camera battering a troublemaker to the ground, even though the law-abiding citizens of Manchester and beyond were cheering to the rafters. The notion that all this was provoked by deprivation is nonsense. Many of those who have already appeared in court are opportunist thieves who hold down proper jobs. Even the unemployed are well-fed, designer-clad and shod, and equipped with the latest digital technology. One of the most ridiculous TV clips was a young, blinged-up black man telling London mayor Boris Johnson that ‘de yoof’ had to riot because they ‘had no food in dem bellies’. It’s a wonder McDonald’s in Brixton is still in business. Boris hasn’t exactly covered himself in glory this week. His Barnum & Bailey circus act is wearing thin. Instead of undermining Call Me Dave over police ‘cuts’, he could have pointed out that Labour closed more than 500 police stations, one for every week it was in office, and passed ridiculous regulations which denuded our streets of a visible law enforcement presence. Labour’s attempts to make political capital out of the disorder have been little short of outrageous. The majority of the rioters have grown up since 1997. They are Labour’s children. Ed Miliband may have made a few of the right noises, but he can’t help looking like a teenage rioter whose mum has made him put on a suit for his court appearance. Harriet Harman and Red Ken have plumbed new depths of cynicism, even by their own shameless standards. And has it occurred to Ed Balls that every time he blames ‘the rich’ for all Britain’s ills, his words are echoed by rioters as justification for torching small businesses? He may claim he’s having a pop at bankers and non-doms, but on the streets the ‘rich’ are anyone who has achieved something in life, from the owners of the local family furniture store to the proprietors of Patel’s Multimart and Papandreou’s Hair Salon — anyone, in fact, who is perceived to have more than them. This is where the politics of envy and class hatred end up. In flames. Parliament was recalled, though goodness knows why. Few of them looked as if they wanted to be there. More passion and anger was generated over phone-hacking. Cameron handled himself pretty well after recovering from a false start, when he hesitated to interrupt his Tuscan holiday. Now the Prime Minister has a once-in-a-career chance to seize the initiative, free up the police to tackle crime properly, build more prisons, scrap the Yuman Rites Act, bring in far more radical welfare reform than is currently being proposed, and use the tax and education systems to promote stable two-parent families. The public mood is behind him and if the Lib Dems throw a hissy fit he could tell them to go to hell and call an election. He’d be up against the BBC and the entire ‘liberal’ establishment, but he’d win. Sadly, I fear he won’t take this brief opportunity, any more than the courts will hand down exemplary sentences to those rioters who have been apprehended. Predictably, some have already been let off with small fines and conditional discharges. Probation officers are probably ordering a fleet of coaches to take the ring-leaders to Alton Towers to teach them the error of their ways. Why not just cut out the middle man and buy them all a nice flat-screen TV, instead. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/debate/article-2025021/UK-riots-2011-The-politics-envy-bound-end-flames.html#ixzz1Up3zGGg5

Totally agree.

Oh aye. His lack of sophistication is indeed very consistent.

Aye. Interesting debating technique. Shout as loudly and agressively as you can at the posh people.

The Saints of old would beat the likes of Leeds one weekend and then lose to the likes of Barnsley the next. The question is....will tmorrow be a blast from the past or a continuation of the brave new world...?

You don't think we'll get promoted then? Ah, I see, you reckon Newcastle will stay up. Gotcha...
