  1. Every heard of Tubgirl? If not, please don't Google it. I am very disappointed that Jaffa Cakes only come third in this list. Well the SNP guy got fired for slagging people off on twitter.
  2. You will get both.
  3. We've improved in that respect no doubt. I think I remember saying, at around new year time, that we'd only beaten three teams in the top half. MK, Walsall and I think Southend might have been about 11th at the time.
  4. A couple take their young daughter on holiday to a nudist beach. After walking around for a while, the gil asks here mum, "why do some of the ladies on the beach have bigger boobies than you mummy?" The mother replies, "just ignore them darling, those women are silly." The girl walks off and comes back an hour later and asks, "mummy, why do some of the men on the beach have bigger willies than daddy?" The mother replies, "just ignore those men darling, they are just stupid." The girl walks off and comes running back an hour later shouting, "Mummy, mummy! daddy's talking to the silliest girl on the beach and he keeps getting stupider and stupider!"
  5. Respect to Pardew for the dedication. Just for the record, nobody on the last thread was questioning the fact that these men were heroes. It was a debate about whether a minutes silence was appropriate, which got a little heated. R.I.P.
  6. Again, you are ignoring my point. I wont respond out of respect, I think it's best if we lock this now.
  7. My sincerest sympathies. I assure you I mean no disrespect to you son.
  8. What a thoroughly well thought out and respectful post. Still, you can't beat completely ignoring someones point if you're trying to take the moral high ground eh. Their death was tragic and their actions heroic. I'm not denying that. It's a sad occasion. But what connection does it have to Southampton football club? There's a time and a place for everything, including grief. I fully support the idea of a minutes silence at their firestation, flags at half mast at all Hampshire stations, placing wreathes at the site of the fire etc. THAT is respect and it is appropriate. A minutes silence at a football match just strikes me as... irrelevant, for want of a better word. Lets say you are driving to an away match against Middlesborough. On the drive up, you come accross a car accident just outside Leeds with a 10 year old girl trapped in the burning wreckage. With no thought for your safety you break into the burning car and drag the little girl to safety. Then, as you stand by the side of the road, another car comes round the corner, hits you and kills you. Would you then expect the Leeds Rhinos rugby team to hold a minutes silence? It just happens. It may not be exactly 2 a day, but over time, that's how it will average out. But you could say that about any death. People dying is a tragic, yet inevitable and very regular part of life. It's sad but it happens every day. People die suddenly, painfully, slowly, or any combination thereof. Families are left behind. Children are left without parents. It's horrible but it happens every day. I'd rather not be reminded of this EVERY time I go to a football match. Nobody dies and their friends turn up and go, "actually yeah he was a c**t, we're all pretty pleased he's gone".
  9. Correct. I was refering to history in general as opposed to this specific incident.
  10. In its day it was a half decent aircraft, although it has never really been 'safe' by Western standards. The problem is it's day was 40 years ago. Russian pilots aren't known for their high standards either if I'm honnest. Russian airliners have crashed because kids were flying the plane and because both pilots were drunk.
  11. Must be a massive blow for Poland losing half their leaders just like that. Incidentally that aircraft has an appaling safety record. I'm amazed the government of a relatively well developed country, like Poland, is flying it's VIPs around in them. http://www.airdisaster.com/cgi-bin/view_manu_details.cgi?aircraft=TU-154
  12. It's dark matter interfering with the space-time continuum.
  13. Leeds winning 2-0 is good. I want them out of this League, one way or another.
  14. I would agree that the minutes silence is not really appropriate. Mainly for the reasons outlined above. Neither they, nor the incident, were connected with the club. It also dilutes the minutes silence if you keep having one every time someone dies. That may sound callus, but think of it like this. Let's say there are 45,000 Saints fans, based losely on the JPT final. Let us also assume the average person lives to be 75 years old. Therefore this means 45,000 Saints fans will die every 75 years, roughly speaking. 75 years is 27,375 days therefore 2 Saints fans die every day. Not a pleasant thought, but that is life for you. So, with all due respect... Why should we hold a minutes silence for 2 firemen who were killed, but not the 14 Saints fans who die every week?
  15. 27, on the right, would get it. Why 26 even left the house I don't know.
  16. I think it's sad that any of you actually give a crap TBH. Almost as sad as leaving Wembley Stadium having won the JPT, surrounded by fans singing Pompey fan on a string.
  17. You've just bought a set group of bikers and now you can't wait to... you're sick.
  18. Whilst that's very admirable, it's completely against human nature. Just making an example, but if a party came along and said, "I'm going to take another £5k a year from your wages and spend it on litteracy classes for single mums in Sunderland" I wouldn't be that inclined to vote for them. Maybe that's a bit selfish, but if you don't look out for number 1, nobody else will.

    Perhaps ironically not what he was thinking. The Nick Griffin on QT seemed like an extremely watered down version of the man we all know and love. They may well have better answers to some of the issues the mainstream parties tiptoe around, however there is no getting away from the fact that most of them are just biggoted racists with a whole bag of chips on their shoulders.
  20. It's annoying when one drops straight in, betwen your flaps.
  21. In fairness to Hamilton though, he moved first, Petrov followed him. There was nothing to stop Petrov just carrying on in a straight line when Hamilton moved to the other side. Petrov however chose to stick behind Hamilton. If Hamilton had moved once and Petrov had stayed on the other side, they would have just raced parallel down the straight as normal. That's not a dig at Petrov, you can see why he was trying to stay in the slipstream. To me it's just racing. It would be sad to discourage what little overtaking there is by punishing minor offences like this.
  22. That's sort of my point. Transfer values are all about how keen one team is to sell and the other is to buy. The way things are at the moment, I'd say we don't need to sell and can therefore hold out for more than Lallana is worth. Maybe up to £5m.
