Start at the very beginning; a very good place to start. Paul Dickov. I'd rather not.

You too Halo! x What's been happening? Have I missed much?

Chorleywood. Would he?

Very interesting papster. I'm going through a similar thought process myself at the moment. I've just become a STEM Ambassador. It's a program that aims to inspire children and young adults to take an interest in Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths. I'm the Tee is STEM, so I (will) go into schools and colleges to act as a mentor and hopefully inspire those young adults in my charge to hack into the Pentagon, or at the very least teach them how to code. I'll be doing this in my spare time, but I do have a mission to inspire our youth to follow a career in technology. My work involves wielding words nowadays, but I started out as a coder and I, like you, was completely enthralled by the process of learning to code. Nowadays it's very difficult for someone to master the complexity of developing software when they the stuff they can download for free is so complex that it would take them a decade to master the skills required to develop it. But if we don't keep shovelling technology experts into the economy, we'll be in real trouble in years to come. I'm not sure if I would be able to hack fulltime teaching, but my business does give me time during the 'working' week where I can do this. Plus working in TMS with Toke and the Bear has taught me that I am good with children. Mind you, I can't slap legs in schools like I can in TMS. What would you teach do you think? How about lecturing in PPE - it'd be a busman's holiday!

This isn't even the beginning of the end of TMS, Richard C. Oh, and by the way, the panel has decided that you are to be the winner of the prestigious saintbletch "Can't somebody else do it?" award. Here's your prize... "Post something yourself you whinging D!ck", is what I might say if I weren't the mild man of Muppetville. BTW, what's the C stand for? Crabs? D!ck Crabs? Does he?

Princes Trust. Do they?

I agree, but wasn't it always going to be this way Lord Duckhunter? I'm not sure it tells us anything that we didn't already know. The YouGov poll wasn't about the issues in isolation, it was more a popularity contest for the protagonists. For the record I should say that I also felt that Farage won the debate on jingoistic passion and rhetorical terms, and although I despise the politician Nick Clegg, I felt he won the debate on debating terms. Farage will therefore be seen as the winner, which lends any 'victory' that Clegg enjoyed a hollowness that makes it look academic and irrelevant. I had assumed that Farage would trounce Clegg, after all Clegg was up against a one-policy party and debating that one policy. That Clegg didn't in the end get trounced may give him a bounce and make him appear THE pro-European in coming elections. I thought it was a stupid move by Clegg before the debate, now I'm not so sure. Disclosure: I'm pro-Europe, anti-Clegg and I find myself warming to Farage the politician.

Ah I see. That's you and Mark Twain then. I'm sure the forum breathed a collective sigh of relief when it saw you back posting again. By the way, what's happened to your apostrophes, Glasgow_Saint? You are one of the posters in whose hands the English language and its attendant punctuation is normally pampered. Unless, you are dead and you've been hacked... Or you are dead, and you're typing from heaven/hell/a non denominational waiting area* and the ectogism is making it difficult for you to type... (*) delete as applicable

Gay Boot, can I ask what happened to Glasgow_Saint? Or rather, what did you think had happened, and where did you think he had gone?

Apologies for my ignorance on the subject, but I'm interested in whether these ping handshakes contained GPS information, however I haven't followed the whole debate. Is the contentious point that the airline refused to pay the £6 for a service from Inmarsat and as a result the location of the aircraft wasn't tracked? Or was there some form of mechanical / equipment issue that stopped the plane from reporting its position in the handshake with the satellite? Respect Sir. I am a however little concerned about your apparent familiarity with the inner workings a badger. You must be from the 'Forest.

Sangakkara, but I forgot the words.

In support of the cock in a sock meme... ...here's the best effort I've seen so far: Surely there has to be a Cock and Ed Balls in a Sock retort somewhere. Trousers?

What on earth inspired Mr and Mrs Bagg to give their son Carlos the middle name Tommy?

What does it mean if, after staring at this picture for a long time, you get a little tingle below the waist? That image has been photomagically retouched, Toke. pap had fainted and I, eschewing Vinnie Jones' advice, was providing mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. Of course someone has rotated the image through 90 degrees, and now I look like I'm sucking pap's face off. Very clever.

I think "actually correct" might be tautological, but I'll defer to Fowllyd's brother for an adjudication.

Your loss.

If I see you on the town Brash en Crazy, I will headbutt you between the eyes, rip your ****ing head off your ****ish shoulders and **** down your neck. Or, I'll buy you a pint - depending on my mood. I'm irrationally irascible at the moment. x

OK, for those conspiratorially minded, can these "posts over time" charts help us to identify double accounters? So attempting to fit the evidence to the crime, here's 27% Sarb / Dibden Paedophile Saint / I can't believe it's not Jeff / etc. Perhaps it's me, but there looks like a horizontal concentration around what I imagine would be lunch time (although the times appear to be slightly out). I'd also suggest that there is a similar level of weekend posting. Oh, and I can also tell that they were both "in Glasgow" at the same time.

Exactly so Fowllyd, The Pompeymandias - we looked on their works and despaired. It's an obsession that one. Here are some of it's greatest contributors: That's not bad at 3 posts per day. And I think trousers invented the concept of the short and pithy post.

This might take some time to load. Guess which thread this is? Is it me, or is there something spookily DNA-like about it?

That was quite funny Bear.

I will try to add some form of correlation with major Saints' events - results, new Chairman, England call up, rumours over stadium expansion. In the meantime, I wonder if someone would like to plot, let's say, wins and losses, on this particular poster's chart. It might also be possible to infer that this particular poster should get out more over the weekend.

OK, so this is The Man... ...and his partner in crime. Must try harder!

Look horizontally along The Bear's chart. When he's serving burgers or cutting foam to size, he's serving burgers or cutting foam to size. He's not nipping into cubicle 2 for a quick post. He's very business. But when the 4-Star General in McDonalds gives him some time off, he's on here posting.
