Ahhhh I might be sad, and I might be a mong, but I don't do facebook - that is well over me, as is twitter and bebo.... etc. Electronic socialising for me is pretty much done exclusively here. (How sad am I)....!

Thanks for that Lighthouse - this mong will be watching The Gestapo tonight, hoping against hope that they take out Sinita on IACGMOOH.

So you watched it then.....

I think there is immense pressure to go up this season for WHU. They are due to move to the Olympic Stadium and they also have high earners - another season (or even longer) in the Championship, could see them in dire straights as well.

Which if you look around only goes to show that the guy really does have great talent. Unfortunately for us, he got it wrong, these peices never look like going togeather very well - Ted looks better without a head...!!

Exactly, I don't think there's any competition here. Comparisons, maybe - but competition - no.

It would appear that TCWTB ruined it for some of them though, not particularly popular with a lot on there: "That sounds like a great song and we would have loved to join in. But sadly we were stuck 20 or so rows in front of JPFCW & the drummers. What a bunch of mouth breathing, atmosphere killers they really are. How does anyone in the Fratton End put up with them? The real downside of the alcohol ban was that they stayed in the stand at half time pretending to be "jazz drummers". W**kers!"

At the end of the day, it's all about balls.

Honestly, what was all that about. She's such a bloody liability - I wouldn't let her boil a kettle of water.... shhhessssshhhhh.

Interesting thread, would like to add my ten penneth, but to he honest saintbletch has put it into words far more eloquently and succinctly than I ever could have. Agree with him entirely.

A complete whooossh moment, or given the benefit of the doubt a complete tangent - has absolutely nothing to do with the point that you missed, and is not a point that I would have raised - because it is not true. I really can't be arsed to put you back on track - I just don't have the time or inclination anymore.

I think you might have missed out a crucial point of his argument, which if done on purpose makes you look fairly stupid, if done unwittingly makes you look both naive and stupid.

Justice was served...

Stunningly fick, stunningly......

Appears to me to be one of our own doing a little goading before Saturday - I'd rather wait until the final whistle before tempting fate. Most of the Brighton comments on there are pretty spot on tbf.

This.... ...and this.... ...would Rickie have scored the goals that he scored today - quite possibly. Didn't see anything in him that we don't already have better of.

You were actually correct with your first post though - most decent crt's will out perform most lcd's. But with the advent of widescreen presentation and the widespread availability of HD will probably see the end of old crt sets. That said, the lcd set that I had in my bedroom recently developed a fault, so we 'temporarily' replaced it with the old crt that had since been demoted to the loft. Added a freeview box for 20 quid - and the picture is noticably better than a bog standard lcd.

Tried your suggestion Steve - but made no difference. Tried all three modes but the result was the same. It's wierd, everything else seems to work fine except I cannot activate the text box. In fact, it appears that the text box is a frame within a frame (in IE), in Chrome I cannot see the frames at all, or the editing icons. I have the Quick Reply box with the Show your signature tick box - which I can activate.

Meanwhile in the real world: http://news.sky.com/home/world-news/article/16107134

Dune, please. Nobody changed their mind, because two nutters from the EdL got on the roof. Tasteless mockery is probably not the order of the day on this one.

Whilst I respect your opinion, I would have to disagree with some things. I understand your frustrations about how some young people may not understand the debt that we owe those who served. But perhaps that is just a product of poor schooling in conveying the importance and sacrifices of the WW. I don't really understand the rational behind relating the poppy to only those that fell during WW1 - many since have also died. I would respect your right to reflect privatly without the need of a poppy - but that symbol itself does heighten awareness and remembrance worldwide, whilst secondary (and less importantly) raising millions of pounds for service personnel charities. I seem to recall the saying 'wear your poppy with pride' and I subscribe to that, but also respect your view to merely 'remember with pride'.

Possibly so Pap, but football get's involved in all manner of politics, it is against racism and actively seeks to highlight and oust such issues from society - but racism is not a football problem. How often are 2 minute silences held in football stadiums for totally non related football tragedies. The poppy is a symbol of respect in remembering fallen heros - it mocks no other soldier or nation. Even if the players do not wear poppys on their shirts, I would imagine that they will be fairly prominantly displayed somewhere in the stadium - so they will be seen. Will be interesting to see whether any offence is actually caused I guess.

Some emblems of acknowledgement would be accepted. War atrocities should never be recognised positively anywhere, however, if you speak to many soldiers they do have respect for their enemies. I've met many soldiers who have nothing but respect for the Argentinian soldiers who fought in the FI, even though many were nothing more than conscripts. Today I work with service personnel and the Taliban as fighters are also respected by many soldiers. It's a difficult one to call, personally I would allow the poppy to be worn, but not allow it to set a precedence. It's not unusual for soldiers of different side to respect each other - they do what they do at the will of the politicians.

See, look, I was right all along: "A No 10 spokesman said Mr Cable had "rectified an oversight" and the matter had been dealt with." Fine, upstanding pillars of the community are our british politicians.
