Couldn't have put it better myself Badger. What we witnessed today was a f***ing grotesque insult to the 'age of austerity' we are living in. If the amount of public money spent on security etc.. for today could have been used to save one public sector job or prevented a single Sure Start childrens centre from closing then the public who support it should be ashamed of themselves. Yes the royals are a quaint reminder of our glorious (?) past but IMO they have absolutely no place in a modern, supposedly democratic society and they should be condemned to the pages of the history from which their pompousness descends.

So you think the failed communist experiment in Russia is a good justification for maintaining the monarchy?

Weren't the Typhoons assembled in Bristol? Or was it just the engines?

Good to see him keeping up his reputation for inappropriate fancy dress, although he might have over-stepped the mark by coming as Colonel Gaddafi.

Rickie bigs up the defence

That's either a reflection of the incredible power of propaganda, or the incredible level of stupidity among Americans; or both. Either way, it's scary.

But you'll be there cheering on our future king and celebrating your Britishness though, won't you?

Now why doesn't that surprise me I wonder. I was watching the news earlier and they showed loads of people lining The Mall draped in Union flags getting ready for the royal wedding tomorrow. Was one of them you by any chance dune?

It may be four years to the day today, but surely we should celebrate the anniversary tomorrow, being friday and all.

Surprised it hasn't been taken down already TBH!

It wasn't all hot air. I was a mod on this site at the time and was privvy to certain information, and I have it on good authority that the board of SLH did indeed meet to talk terms with representatives of Paul Allen, though he was never directly involved personally. I assume this was so that he could deny any interest whatsoever if/when it all fell through.

That's one. Two more and we're over the line. Don't know if my nerves can take it though because you can bet that Hudds will push us all the way, and if Brighton defend like they did today against Hudds next week then you wouldn't bet against them winning.

WOOOOOOT FOR DAGGERS!!!!!!

Fantastic. That's given us a fair bit of breathing space. Could do with Daggers getting a goal to ease the pressure but we're keeping our side of the bargain and that's all that counts right now.

B0llox. It was my nun what done it!

Well, we've just got to keep chipping away. And if that doesn't work, maybe we should drive the bus through their defence.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-africa-13184594 The most blatant violation of the terms of UN resolution 1973 yet. There will be a lot of backlash about this I reckon. While ultimately I believe that the removal of Gadaffi is morally the best option, the allies are now playing a dangerous game by openly trying to kill him using air strikes as it will only generate sympathy for him from so far neutral states. This isn't going to end quickly or easily.

I'm slowly upgrading my PC. Just bought a new ASRock N68C-S mobo and gonna get a new processor to go with it when I get paid, but ideally I need to replace my ageing Geforce 8500 graphics card as well. I don't really want to spend silly money, and I came across this one and was wondering what people think about it or if anyone has any other recommendations.

... to incur so much hatred and vitriol from the Brighton fans and manager?

Yes, they can. They are on 93 points and have 3 games left.

Does anybody know why Brighton and Hudds fans call us SCC?

???????????????????????????? How does he work this out??? Claridge has never made any secret of his hatred towards Southampton and still cannot bring himself to praise us in any way despite our current position.

Somebody mentioned earlier on this thread that there has been some bad blood between Poyet and Clarke at Hudds already in the game at the Galpharm this season so I imagine he will be treating the game exactly the same as he did with ours yesterday - making up a little rivalry where none exists.
