Limited only to the 1967 borders, not the stolen parts which they occupy/have occupied. On what basis can they have those?

Ok, badly put. Nobody would invade N Korea as they have nukes.

If they occupy for military purposes then they build solely for that reason. No need to build towns! We are in Afghanistan. Those nasty insurgents keep shooting at our boys. Should we build nice little towns nearby and move a load of Brit's in? By your thinking that should be acceptable.

That's ******. If they have occupied for the reasons you say then why build settlements, and continue to do so whilst driving Palestinians from their homes?

Do they have a right to the occupied territories in West bank and Golan? Do they have a right to erect settlements? The UN seem to think not...

Would South Korea go on the offensive with North Korea in the hope that their warhead is a bit iffy? No - the deterrant does it's job. Either way, your point (at least I think it's your point) that if it wasn't iffy then it may well have been used is groundless. Pakistan is perceived as a loose supporter of terrorism. India is not thus I did not mention them. However, the fact that they have a weapon is likely to deter Pakistan from using theirs. Israel may well have intended to use theirs, and may do. They could without fear of reprisal as their immediate neighbours do not have similar. If Iran did have similar then Israel are less likely to use theirs. How many nukes did the yanks and the ussr fire at each other?

Alpine, we have differing views that I would love to debate but work calls. Isreal is a hideous state. It's seizure of foreign land and building of settlements is unacceptable. Whilst universally criticised its' actions have gone unenforced. Despite this (and the constant helicopter attacks on gaza and the west bank) Israel recives funding and support from the Usa whilst other countries face sanctions. Easy to see why the Palestinian supporters feel a little upset. As to who is more likely to use a nuke, I think the reality is neither. The last 50+ years give us the best evidence of that. If a bad regime in control of a nuclear weapon meant that a nuclear strike would occur then the North Koreans, Pakistani's, and dare I say it, Israeli's would surely have used them by now.

With respect, what is simplistic (and silly) is to assume that Iran may use a nuclear weapon if they had one. The only act of an aggressive use of a weapon is by the usa over 50 yeras ago. Since then many countries have owned them but not used them. They haven't because others have had them and fear of reprisal. Simply, possession of the things creates a deterrant.

I was partially with you until I got to the word "accusations". The main tension in the middle east is Israel / Palestine. Nobody will ever convince me that the real aggresors in that region are not the usa sponsored Israelis. Lets not forget the wests little act if aggression in Iraq either.

Agree. I don't understand the notion that a nuclear bomb is perceived as a deterrent in the hands of some nations, but a threat in the hands of others. This is all about control. If Iran develop a nuclear bomb it will deter the yanks and Israel from doing what they want, whenever they want. Leave them to it and there is more prospect of peace imo. On all the evidence available every country (except the usa) have used their nuclear arsenal as a shield rather than a sword.

Aplogies, not the intention. The trial is in March, hence the reference to the run in. He'll be available at least until then and hopefully beyond. We cannot overlook that IF convicted that this delay, and the timing of the trial, are a massive bonus.

He'll be in court so not training, and his head will be all over the place. I never implied he would be in prison!

Wtf are you on about? Where did I convict him? I said "if convicted". My point is that the delay for barney, and us , is a positive.

Frustrating that he wont be available for all of the run in but otherwise a great result. If convicted sentence will probably be delayed until the seasons end. He will have the mitigation that he has suffered with the delay beyond his control, and a chunk of any custodial will be served in the close season.

Vag or mondeo from that list. Vectra and laguna awful cars. Alfa 156 worth looking at. The diesel lumps go on forever and are very powerful and economical. Lots of kit too.

This. Try a difference input method too as that may help.

No. Not a great phone either. If you want a budget android, get an orange san Francisco. Similar spec to wildfire but better screen and half the price. Rooted means hacked basically, allowing updates of roms (os) and other stuff. Have a look at modaco.com for advice, tips, buying guides.

You can try but no guarantee of success. Those expenses seem reasonable, but you have a duty to Keep your losses down. You can't just sit back and let your losses build up.

They have had every chance to put it right but have not. I am not sure why you want leverage for repairs from a garage who are not up to it and/or dont give a monkeys. You are left with two choices. 1. Suing for your cash back with no car inbetween, and no guarantee of success or 2. getting it fixed and suing for the cost, with imo every chance of success. Plus the proceedings will be simpler and cheaper. Either way you will need proper evidence of the problem, and what is needed to rectify. If you were a client if mine I would urge you to look at option 2. End of the day its a car with a mechanical problem which will be fixable.

You are missing the point. You get it fixed and bill them.

I have owned iphone and android phones. Apple can only upgrade their phones. Android phones in contrast, change and improve frequently due to the volume of suppliers. I honestly cannot see what Apple offers over Android. Can somebody who has owned both tell me what I have overlooked apart from a slinky case.

In a manner of speaking! To be fair he is a better full back than politician, but a top drawer entertainer.

Cheers, Armitage got banned in the rugby for less. Moreover, who gave him the number ten shirt?! Madness.
