You ask whether Britain would be better off if we'd sided with Hitler. [Obviously not, BTW - if you know anything about the nazi regime.] And then you title your thread "The Christian Attitude of the British". Explain to me how Christians could support Hitler. Perhaps you should read some history; and then read some theology.

Where's Ron Davies? Surely he deserves to be there more than Alan Shearer?

Ahora Si! by Cachao, the great Cuban mambo musician - bassist and composer.

But she's only 13 years old! If she succeeds, the glory is all hers. if she fails, the cost and effort of rescue is all ours. If individuals - especially immature or inexperienced individuals - want to engage in dangerous adventures, that's their choice, but they (or their families) ought to have an insurance policy that will cover any rescue costs.

They did go silent when Mexico scored (but only for about 34 seconds :mad:). I prefer the sound of the crowd singing, or the sound of silence.

Correct. One of four squad members who played for England during the '66 World Cup tournament, but didn't play in the Final.

Strip now in the Megastore.

Which game did Terry Paine play in during the '66 World Cup?

Arron Davies

I remember that - my brother was at that game.

Silly sod! His mother should turf him out of the house.

Right?

Easy. Glen ****erill. He's the only one with asterisks in his name.

Take your pick:

Or: Different Ownership and Management (doing a great job turning the fortunes of the Club around and building a fine team) - but same old summer, regardless, of premature and presumptuous moaning. Alpine, some questions for you: 1) Are you confident that the Club is in good hands? 2) Do you think that they're working behind the scenes to bring in new players? 3) Do you think that they should be working on their timetable, or yours? 4) Is patience a virtue?

Plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose. I was very impressed with the group of players that Pardew brought into the club last season. So I am confident that Pardew and his team are working hard behind the scenes finding new players for the upcoming campaign. Strange as it may seem to some, they are operating on their own timetable. It always amazes me when fans adopt the solipsistic attitude that if the Club is not satisfying their impatient demands, then everything is ****ed. Relax. Take time off. Enjoy the World Cup. Get outside. Go on holiday. There'll be lots of time to moan later - if moaning is your thing.

Thanks for that. Some amusing stuff there.

A glass-half-full person writes a happy post about the glass being half full. A glass-half-empty person immediatley writes a post to complain about the glass-half-full person not realising that the glass is actually half-empty. Other glass-half-empty people write posts complaining about the glass-half-full people. They feel a need to show solidarity with other glass-half-empty posters. The glass-half-full people write to remind the glass-half-empty people that when the glass is half-empty, it is also half-full. The glass-half-empty people respond with scorn that a glass-half-full person just cannot see that it's really half-empty. From where I sit, when you're really thirsty, you celebrate when your glass is half-full. If you're really, really thirsty, does it make sense to dwell on the fact that your glass is half-empty, instead of recognising that it's actually half-full?

I'll remember him most for Easy Rider and the crazed photographer in Apocalypse Now.

You are correct. His early phase with Mercury Records was brilliant [The Rod Stewart Album ('69) - Smiler ('74)]. When he met Britt Ekland and moved to L.A. to be one of the rich and famous, his music went into swift decline. Seemed to become more of a sex symbol than a singer/songwriter. Shame. Just put on Gasoline Alley, or, Every Picture Tells a Story, though, and all is forgiven!

Why? What was special about the 2,403rd. star?

Free As a Bird. Impressive production on this one. How many references to other songs of theirs can you spot in this? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=glUFjjkYuAk

One of the best ever: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hqyc37aOqT0

Wrong. As head of state, the Queen reads the speech prepared by the government. She does not necessarily agree with it. Pretty basic concept!
