seeing as how we are now talking about submarines, I have never understood the point of having Trident when it just collects dusts. yeah, yeah, I totally understand the principle of mutually assured destruction and keeping a threat is better than being threatened but wouldn't it be far more fun to actually use Trident every now and again? Just loose off a couple of billion pounds worth of nukes at an unfriendly regime every so often. Would be fun. After all, we all paid for it. Otherwise it is like promising your kid that you will have a fireworks party and then keeping the Fizz Bangs locked away.

No one should 'trade' the markets. That is the problem. When I used to work in the City I remember there were offices setup down the street enticing anyone to rent a desk and start speculating as if they were professionals. This more than anything optimized the casino culture. People with no training, maxing out the credit card to sit in front of a screen with a chart going up and down and taking short-term positions which could be as short as ten minutes or less. This is not investing. This is not capitalism. This is gambling, pure and simple. Go to the casino and have more fun.

Well I am usually half-cut at the football and believe me, it is surreal at times.

get with the program! The city accounts (or should that be accounted) for fully one fifth - YES, 20% - of national GDP. Sod manufacturing, Sod agriculture. What has been the engine of 'growth' in our economy has been roulette in the city and the derivative of consumer debt based on wacky house prices and the retail spend. Guess what? The city is bankrupt, and will be much more heavily regulated now which ever party is in power and the consumer can no longer use the house as an ATM machine - which is bared out on the highstreet. It doesn't matter a t0ss if we are nominally the 4th/5th largest economy. So what? Have you been to Cleveland in the US recently? Take my word for it, it IS a third world city in the largest economy in the world. The last decade will be known as the age of debt. The next decade will be very different.

Be honest - which division should our team be playing in

You're right. Everything is ****ing rosy. I shouldn't really moan. I wouldn't need to if we could have a general election so I could see the back of these morons. Frankly even Cameron's bunch of feckless chinless wonders would be preferable to the washed-up ****s we have at the moment. But then seeing as they don't need to hold an election for another year why not stay and keep milking the system for all its worth. £24,000 to live with your sister FFS!!!! IT IS A JOKE. -
Daft. This is just like saying "things always stay the same". Do you even have the faintest idea how much DEBT gordon brown is putting on the shoulders of the nation? The system is simply not designed for this event. Some thing will give and almost certainly it will be a run on the pound... meaning everything we import will be a lot more expensive - and we import pretty much everything these days including the bulk of our food and energy. don't make the mistake of thinking Britain is a big player and can ride this storm out. Our economy and public finances are completely wrecked. Totally wrecked. Taxes WILL go up, which will be a break on getting us out of the depression, or public services will be cut. And it will only take our government bonds to be downgraded by Moody's for things to really get nasty. What brown should have done is his ****ing job in the first place and regulated the idiotic greedy ******s in the city. He did not. Now the country is ****ed and somehow he expects me to believe him that it is not of his doing? Bull ****. He is completely responsible.

yeah, but real capitalism is when some one first saves up through hard work and thrift (the hard work being making something) and then invests that capital in another project and assuming the risk if it all goes pear shaped. What we have all across the world over the last two decades is DEBT fueled consumerist nonsense. That is no more 'capitalist' than my left nostril. The Victorians knew about capitalism, but they made things. We just consume crap we don't need on credit cards we can't afford to pay off. That is not capitalism. That is pure crazy dumb-rsed nonsense and we are all now monumentally stuffed as a result. Well, not all of us. The t0ssers who got us in this situation in the first place walk away with all their bonuses safely squirreled away.

I can't afford the rope. -
The FA will rule that because we are so **** we should take all three relegation spots.

who cares. There is no hope. The western world is dead. We should be in the Prem. But we will ultimately be playing in the sunday pub league. Lowe out. Brown out. Me out. -
even the egg-chasers are crap. I came back from the pub at half time because there was a loud mouthed jerk-off being a knob-head. Nearly ****ing punched his lights out. The state of mind I am in at the moment I wouldn't be surprised if I get nicked before the end of the year. Came home to the **** hole I am forced to call home and watched the Victorian Farm on tele. Now there was a better age. Back-breaking work and lower life expectancy but a frick lot simpler. Not a credit derivative in sight. I reckon on balance they were a happier lot. Not like today's consumerist society. **** Brown.

I am close to breaking my embargo on calling for the head of the sitting manager. -
**** all point in turning up to be honest. Just concede the lot and start preparing for div three.

Administration is around the corner. as is a ****ing revolution where we burn the vermin politicians at the stake and usher in a new era in this country.

"A gobsmacked Mark Wotte was left wondering in amazement as his side came away from Ashton Gate empty handed…" Always the same isn't it.. we we're unlucky... well in my book when you only win 1 game in 14 then you are not just unlucky but you are doing something wrong...
-
A scoring problem? So that's it! Silly me for thinking we were banging them in left, right and center...

I can see a revolution coming. The country is ****ed. Bankrupt. Adrift. Gordon Brown is a t0sser, DEBT DEBT DEBT DEBT DEBT DEBT DEBT... why not stop and ask the question: If DEBT got us into this mess, how exactly is more DEBT going to get us out of it? Doctor: I am very sorry to say but you have lung cancer. Patient: Sh!t it is the end of the world! Doctor: Don't worry, smoke even more and you will be fine! Duhhhhh! How ****ing dumb is this idiot running our country? There is no hope. The world as I have known it all 33 years of my life is about to get very different. And to cap it all, I can't even have a bit of light relief with my football club, cause that is also a train wreck. So, here am I at 33 years old. Well educated, articulate, bright and yet I am having to work harder and harder just to stand still. I live in a ****ing tiny box of a rented flat, crammed into a block with 12 other families, in a ****ing dirty **** hole called Brighton, in one of the most densely populated parts of the country which doesn't even have a functioning parliament anymore - only a puppet parliament bowing down to their European Masters. Where exactly is this Golden Age the new millennium was supposed to bring? ****ed if I know. I have no savings worth speaking of (although I will save £450 next season by refusing to buy a ST), I don't even know what a pension looks like, but the Brighton council has just put up my council tax bill so that they can fund their employees pensions. Politicians are totally corrupt, not asking am I genuinely entitled to this expense claim, but instead asking "is it legal, can i get away with it". ****ing disgust me all of them. Vermin. Parasites. Arrogant swine. In all honesty I would rather I didn't do well in school. If I was a dumb illiterate dole-monkey I would not care. The problem is I have always been led to believe that if you try and better yourself then you can achieve. Not in this ****ing country you can't. **** it. I am going down the pub to watch the egg-chasers. Hope we beat those taffy bastards. Need something to smile about. **** this country. I will always be an Englishman but at the moment I am NOT proud to be one.

What a w@nker. -
it is a moot point. Just like me saying "if I was a millionaire". No half-decent manager is going to want to come to Saints what with the current **** we are in and the t0sser in the board room.
-
**** the bright side of life. I want to see gordon brown and rupert lowe up on those crosses.
-
Country is in deep depression. Country is infact bankrupt. Vermin politicians sucking up as much on their expense accounts as possible. Unemployment rising rapidly. Council tax bill has just gone up 5%. Price of a pint just gone up 10p. Rich keep on getting richer. No work after March. And to cap it all my football club is relegated. ****ing glad I am British. What a ****ing great place to live at the start of the 21st century. there will be riots soon, and i will be involved.
