Is there an actor called Tom Cruise? Really? Never heard of him. Thanks Solent!

Like the look of the team. We'll rely on Lambert having a good game and Chamberlain and Lallana finding some space for it to work. I wonder which of the midfield three will play deepest? You have to just let Chaplow get on with it IMO as his game is built around harrying and workrate, so it's a chouce of telling Hammond or Schneiderlin to push on and one to sit. Whichever way you look at it though, that's a formidable central three - let's hope we trust ourselves on the ball and give it a chance to work. Sun shining apparently!

I think Dune is advocating a change of government to a Western capitalist model in order to facilitate open external investment; not what you suggest.

Very good, except the point being made was actually being made by way of a quote from someone else, nothing to do with the forum, and was quite interesting. So to say it was trolling made it look like you didn't agree/understand and could think of nothing better to say.

I realise I was talking utter coy-carp earlier. Thank you Sugartits69.

That is funny. I have also learnt a new phrase. To "dig someone out", meaning to expose their stupidity through words or by administering physical punishment.

Ok, and my point was that any system will exploit these resources. You can't deny that external trade and investment bring some benefits, surely? Better than just propping up a cadre of Thrasymachusian generals?

You're right. What would really help them is a nice Soviet system or a dictatorship or military junta or something. Capitalist liberal democracy is clearly the worst of all the options.

Seems like a proportionate and sensible response to me.

I appreciate it's not nice to be under house arrest and I think the Burmese regime is bad. But... I don't see why the excessive interest in this woman. It just seems somewhat fashionable. I think Burma is this season's Palestine.

I'm pretty sick and tired of Amir Khan, truth be told. Don't know why. I don't like the accent.

I made this point on a thread the other day but no one seemed to understand it apart from Mao Cap.

Oh right. Didn't know that.

The Beeb are interrupting Fighting Talk to bring a special report about this Burmese lady's apparent release from house arrest. I am the only person who couldn't give a ****?

I just wish we were as loyal and passionate as the Portsmouth fans. They are truly amazing.

You can never be completely sure that the nursery itself is not, in fact, a paedo in disguise.

Warning: funny video.

You want all muslims to move to the UK?

Re the "NAMBLA" link.... I actually Googled that because there is an episode of South Park featuring a spoof organisation called NAMBLA. That obviously is satirical and I thought maybe someone had set up a satirical site as an homage (no pun intended). So when I saw "nambla.org" as a result on my Google search, I assumed they had. As it happens it looks - somewhat remarkably - as though in fact a group of people were inspired to set up a serious version of it. Bizarre indeed.

Some northern monkey gets a lob on because he's taller than a couple of football players. I bet he's taller than Maradonna, Pele and Messi too. "Ugly bunch". WTF? Hammond, Schneiderlin and Richardson are fit. So is Pulis, but that's irrelevant.

If you're right about this one then it proves that Adkins listens to me. I am great.

Outer casing of a nut.

I didn't know that.

Maybe a midfield with Chappers, Hammo, and Schneido with Lallana and Punch/Chambo supporting Lambo then? Would be a very robust midfield. I've no idea how Carlisle usually go about scoring their goals though.
