Playing for Liverpool?

It increases every time that VVD increases in value.

The link describes the away kit as 'black with green stripes'

Global warming really is happening... (well, duh!)

Good idea. Shall we do it by gradually raising the temperature? -

It's women having kids that causes the problem. Just saying, like... -

Have you started a list? -

The sun is by far the biggest driver of our climate. Yes, CO2 plays a part but the amount that is generated by humans is not the only source and is offset by the increased sinks. You say that our climate is changing 'relatively fast' but if you look back over a couple of thousand years you will see bigger changes and we have been warmer than this before. Something else is going on too. We are overdue an ice age and the 'future of mankind' is under much greater threat from that than it is from warming. -

Don't be so snooty and try to open your mind a little. If you take a couple of seconds to Google "global warming solar activity" and "Jasper Kirkby" and "cloud-seeding" you will find that there is a lot of science being undertaken at the moment but the science is still in its infancy. What you call 'the screamingly obvious' only applies to tiny closed minds. Go and look up 'Maunder Minimum' and 'Dalton Minimum' whilst you're at it and try to explain the correlation between sunspot activity and little ice ages. This is not 'my cosmic ray research', it is taking place as we write but you wouldn't know about such things because you're blinded by what you think is obvious. -

The climate is always changing and always has. The question is how we cope with it and what we can do about it. I have mentioned this before but there is strong correlation between global temperatures and high-energy solar emissions (not total solar irradiation). Research continues... -

The current rate of change is very sedate. There is evidence that ice ages can start very quickly, within a decade or two. -

I know that I was trying to make a point that 'record global temperature' doesn't mean much if you're only going to look back a couple of hundred years. -
And you youngsters think that baby boomers always had a good time. Free love, my arse. http://www.feministezine.com/feminist/historical/Good-Wifes-Guide.html "Clever wives are ever on the alert for new and better methods of denying and discouraging the amorous overtures of the husband. A good wife should expect to have reduced sexual contacts to once a week by the end of the first year of marriage and to once a month by the end of the fifth year of marriage. By their tenth anniversary many wives have managed to complete their child bearing and have achieved the ultimate goal of terminating all sexual contacts with the husband. By this time she can depend upon his love for the children and social pressures to hold the husband in the home."

I had to look up what it meant

That can't be true. I'ms sure it was much hotter when dinosaurs roamed the earth. -
Absolutely this. No player is indispensable. They could get injured at any moment and be sidelined for most of a season.

Partly because 10% of the fee goes to Celtic. Does anybody know if that's 10% of the gross amount or 10% of the 'profit'?
-
Very good, but too subtle for most.
-
Strange logic there.
-
Why? Most of our shots are from distance and into a packed penalty area. Bare statistics tell you nothing.

It's pronounced 'Cashcow' If anybody's interested Tyreshack down on the Millbrook Industrial Estate give a very good service and good prices.

I think you'll find that the players won the cup, not the manager.

Certainly wouldn't be able to post on football forums and suchlike.

Are you sure it wasn't KFC?

Unlikely. I think Thelonious Monk has been dead these past 35 years. There again, he could probably do a better job than Puel

Yes, it makes you wonder why we employ him. Maybe it's to provide a face to the press and public.
