Terrorist Attacks - WARNING: CONTAINS DISTRESSING IMAGES
benjii replied to sadoldgit's topic in The Lounge
I didn't say that I was upset. You are spoiling any sensible debate with your endless purile questioning routine and dumb-headed ramblings though. It would be funny if it wasn't a bit sad. Let me leave you with this.... if your posts on here do accurately reflect your outlook and intellect then I have to tell you this: you are a terrorist's wet dream; you are pure Jihadi-puppet master fodder. Bellicose and confused. Absolute terrorism-target gold. No wonder you're scared. -
Yes, exactly. This is obviously a sensible viewpoint. It does require the ability to defer gratification and think further than the end of your pint glass / cigarette / vape machine though so I can see why some people struggle to realise.

Terrorist Attacks - WARNING: CONTAINS DISTRESSING IMAGES

1) The premise behind the question is wrong. 2) Is it. Is it really? "A threat to western Europe"? Only if blithering idiots over-react and make things worse. Personally, I find ill-educated dinlows to be much more of a threat. A sense of proportion, boy, that's what you need. 3) "Taking over" towns and cities? I don't deny there are some areas which have become culturally dominated by Muslims, largely due to a failure of congregating immigrant communities to integrate and assimilate. I don't think your sort of tone or worldview is going to help with that though. And the suggestion that there is a general "take over" of towns and cities is self-evidently alarmist, pant-****ingly cowardly, and plain wrong. Out of interest, what percentage of the population being Muslim would you consider too high? -
Their wage bill looks to be at a manageable level, relative to turnover but the Fratton running costs are going to knacker their cash reserves unless they increase turnover over the coming seasons. Seeing how they pack the park every single match already, they're going to have to hike ticket prices. Or sell to a Yank.

Taylor cocks. Lol.

Ahh, the old say-something-stupid-in-haste-then-pretend-it-was-just-joshing routine. Good one.

Whatever you think of Farage, he has probably made the single biggest impact of any UK political figure other than Thatcher and Blair in the last four decades. His style is obviously unconventional but I think it's nonsense to say he lacks credibility. He had a conviction and he's seen it come to fruition. That's more than most politicians manage.

Well, it's £2,500,000 not £250k, actually!

You know people generally put a pound or two on an accy for a bit of fun, don't you, pal?

Freedom isn't free, there's a hefty ****in' fee. -
Lee Mason won't let us win.

We've had loads of one armed linesman and referees.

The diamond we played earlier in the season would have been perfect for a fit Jay Rod. As it is, though, it's hard to see him getting a run in the first team so probably best for everyone for him to move on if there is genuine interest.

My colleague went recently and said it was great. If you want nice scenery, weather, food, peace etc. then it's ace apparently. If you want Disney Land or all-night raving then probably not for you!

The trophy thing is utterly fatuous for any Skate under about 80 to mention. Literally, the only time they've been anything other than crap in the last 60 years was when they were spunking laundered money on unaffordable players. And that coincided with the one major trophy they have won in the post-war era. It's no wonder they are so bitter and weird though - 8 years in the top flight in the last 57 years compared to our 40 50 to 7 in terms of higher league finishes Kind of explains why they get so excited about an inconsequential 2-2 draw.

Hardly. One is an average centre back and one is an exceptional attacking player. Attackers are worth more.
-
I'm not sad by it. Just think we would all be better if you ****ed off as you have absolutely nothing worthwhile to say. And thanks for proving my point, frankly.

There's a v8 version of the Jaguar XE at similar price point and performance you might also want to look at. Or, play it safe and get an M3!

Your contributions to this forum are pretty pathetic. Posting silly little questions and then stupid follow-ups rather than actually offering any sort of evidence of thought is, basically, a pretty infantile way to carry on and evidence of a fairly limited ability to engage with issues meanginfully.

It's not possible yet. It needs to be negotiated. The "hard Brexit" cones from the EU not from our politicians and is a stupid and vacuous expression.

If Swansea go down then I'm sure Sigurdsson will leave but I also expect he will have a host of decent options.....

I think the main problem with education is not the structural organisation of schools but the abandonment of proper teaching methods in favour of hipster ideas about "self-discovery" and "creativity" etc. in previous decades. There has been a corresponding loss of intellectual rigour and love of knowledge/true learning in the classroom. This creates a self-perpetuating decline as the next generation of teachers have been educated in this way; diminishing educational standards, coupled with relatively poor pay deterring high-achievers from entering teaching, makes it very difficult to reverse the decline. I think the Tories are probably the only party likely to make a stand on academic standards (that doesn't mean I think they will necessarily sort it out but there has been a clear raising of expectations at primary level, for example, with much harder SATS at year 6). I'm not a big fan of a fork-in-the-road at age 11 and I don't think many people are. When people speak in favour of grammar schools, nowadays, I think what they really want is a re-emergence of some of the more traditional teaching methods and an assurance that the school values academic rigour and discipline over "self-discovery". That doesn't mean schools should be austere and militaristic or that creativity and expression should be curtailed but I think the balance shifted too far from actual "teaching", in favour of "learning".

Was that the one when Hart spilt a tame effort on the goal-line and Barry scored a pathetic own goal? Quite an entertaining match!
