OK, I've been thinking, I have done loads of derby games in this country, Saints v Pompey, Liverpool v United, Villa v Brum, Wolves v Baggies, Arsenal v Spurs, Oxford v Swindon & done a few in europe too, been to all the Istanbul derbys, Milan & Rome derbys. But what would you say is the biggest in the world? I am planning on doing the Boca v River Plate on 15th May, I recon this would be the best one to experience. What derby would you say would be up there, and what derbys have you been to?

It's about time you got a sense of humour, you bearded Tw.at!

I wonder if Banj got his end away with all the trannies over in Amsterdam, or did they just blow him out as a Jeremy Beadle look-a-like.

Don't blame Gadaffi, he is a very nice person going out with a bit of flair and passion.

Does he still run the Black Bull in Moreton?

I would rather drive around in a Robin Reliant than a bleeding Skoda! Have you been on the sherry?

OK, we've done Vietnam, but what about WW2.

Do people still buy British cars, Ford, Vauxhall, Austin Rover? Surely you would only drive this shower of sh1t if it was Free or a company car etc. They just seem years behind everyone else, and still look sh1tty & plasticy as ever. I mean who on earth who consider buying a new Ford? They just look so crap.

Tourettes isn't a condition, it's just a load of blokes having the crack and getting away with swearing. My mates got it, it happened overnight, did it f***K but he gets £40,000 a year being diagnosed with it. C**T!!

http://www.chabka.es/ I have been to this fixture on 4 occasions & to be honest it is the best. Listen to the atmosphere.

Has anyone got any Live streaming links please?

You may one day rent your house out to NC.

You wine, dine & '69' your mum?

You lot should be f**king ashamed of yourselves!! Taking the p1ss out of the inflicted isn't funny, just remember when your children are born and they have 6 toes or cleft lips, or down syndrome, you can think back and remember those who laughed at this will burn in hell and have disabled children or retards.

I need some good suggestions for my mums 70th birthday present. I am looking for maybe a weekend away or something she can cherish until she drops dead. Any ideas folks? And be nice, it's my mum and she's lovely.

The root of the problem appears to have been an underground electric cable with faulty or damaged insulation, which allowed electricity to leak into the ground. The effect of this would have been to raise the voltage of the ground around the fault. The voltage rise would have been highest near the fault, falling away at distances further from the fault. This means that the voltage difference between a location close to the fault and one, say, twelve inches further away would have been small, but the voltage difference between a location close to the fault and one four or five feet away would have been much larger. This is the key to the mystery, as it’s not voltage that causes electrocution, but current. And it’s voltage difference that makes current to flow. Because people stand with their feet close together, the voltage difference between the feet of someone standing close to the fault would have been quite small, and only a small current would have flowed through their body. They would probably have felt a small electric shock, but have experienced no harmful after effects. This is exactly what the trainers reported. The situation for horses is very different, as there is a considerable distance between their front and rear feet. This means that for a horse standing in the vicinity of the fault there would have been a big voltage difference between its front and rear feet. This would have allowed a large current to flow, with the fatal results that were seen. Other factors would also have been involved. Horses have metal shoes that make good electrical contact with the ground, making it easy for current to flow, whereas people normally wear shoes or boots with soles that are electrical insulators and impede the flow of current. In addition, sudden collapse from electric shock is typically the result of heart failure caused by current passing through or near the heart muscle. An electric current flowing from leg to leg in a person, however, doesn’t go anywhere near the heart, whereas a current flowing from the front to the rear legs of a horse most certainly does. This explanation doesn’t make Saturday’s events at Newbury any less tragic, but it does offer a solution to the apparent mystery of why the horses and were affected when people in the same area were not. It also highlights the importance of regularly testing the protection systems that might have been expected to automatically disconnect the electricity supply to a faulty cable before the fault was able to cause injury and death.
