Oh first cracks appearing, crashing already although I reckon its because my pc is no longer up to it TBH

The whole Freezing prices crap is probably one thing that has helped to push prices upwards, that and it completely decimated my shares for a little while. All in all though is its completely impossible to implement without the risk of blackouts. We take the majority of our fuel from the continent and so if we freeze prices we will not be able to buy it, therefore we will be forced to use what we generate ourselves which all in all means we will be short. Its an empty policy that rides on the back of popular opinion and is in itself, Id imagine, completely unenforceable. As per rising prices, the suppliers only receive 5% of that supply, the rest is made up of wholesale price, tax and government legislation towards green energy. The majority of this is the building of wind farms which are largely unefficient beasts but the government still ensures they are paid for their energy geberation even when they are turned off or not producing at max. The main issue IMO is government policy on generation, shutting down plenty of generating stations without any replacements. This ensures that we are buying in bulk from markets that overproduce, thus increasing our own prices. Fact is, the old energy minister from labours days has effectively caused this issue, whoever he was...

He was brought in primarily for an administrative role overseeing the implementation of a proper sports science division, academy set up and international scouting team. Despite his obvious previous failings as a manager it was clear to anyone not on the wind up that we were moving in the right direction under his guidance and that he had a fair amount of knowledge in this area Nobody really can complain about the position we are in now and so obviously he has done his job very well.

Hmm steam doing well so far, no cracks yet
-
Has it been released yet ?
-
Probably because when we comment on something like the italian transfer policy we are all wrong ?
-
Then you get the cheapest free ?

I agree completely Having a third should IMO be a financial opinion for the family. Plenty of free contraception and education on the subject
-
MLG why dont you ever admit you are wrong ? Why dont you start a thread on the main board without any direction asking what are saints philosophies ? I bet none would say 'we buy players from italy' If anything its promotion from the youth team or even to sign atleast 1 marquee type signing. But certainly not, sign from italy, I think it just so happens that the itslian market is cheaper. As per usual when I aquire this game Ill have to change things in the editor regarding saints

Welcome to the party pal...... As per saints, I sort of agree with Alps, if we keep the vultures from our door regards our top young talent we could be looking at top 6 finishes and hopefully trying to break into the top 4, hopefully we'll have some silverwear behind us too. It really is a great time to be a saints fan right now. Me ? I expect Id have my own company by then pimping out power grid resilience ideas.

Why being a striker at SFC is tougher than most
Smirking_Saint replied to Giordano's topic in The Saints
His touch was aweful and only really looked good for 1 1/2 seasons for us, he really wasnt that good -

Smirking_Saint replied to Giordano's topic in The Saints
Utter kak, without Ormerod working his nuts off beattie would have been shown up as the inadequate striker that he was. Yes he had a purple patch but a lot of the good we did that season came from a very hard working Brett which allowed us to pressure the opposition. -
When was the funny part ?

You scored 40 out of a possible 60 Close but no cigar – YOU'RE A BIT OF A HIPSTER! You love a bit of tactical talk and wear your 1991-92 St Pauli away shirt with pride, but deep down there's part of you who prefers a cavorting mess of a 4-3 to a well-disciplined 0-0. You heathen, you. Still, you're well on your way to zen-like hipsterdom Probably about right TBH

We all hate him

Well, southern electric is worried, all on emergency shift, planned work cancelled, asked to cancel holidays Somethings coming in, think we have avoided the worst of it, but we will take a bit of a hit.

Post Match Reaction: SAINTS 2-0 Fulham
Smirking_Saint replied to Saint-Armstrong's topic in The Saints
TBH sometimes I agree Roge is overly obsessed with Rickie, no doubt he is a wonderful servant but roge can be OTT nonetheless That said, cant see whats wrong with what he wrote earlier ? Early in the season I thought Rickie looked poor but tonight he was very good, why should he be dropped ? -
Except for the fact he always looks pretty good for england you mean and never lets a back four settle on the ball ?
-
Adam Lallana - has he flattered to deceive?
Smirking_Saint replied to Saint-Armstrong's topic in The Saints
Credit where credits due, he did look poor at the end of last season and the start of this but is looking excellent right now, fair play to him. -
Basically the way I see it, but lallana isnt a CM, and that would be where he gets in, nevertheless he should be around the team. The wide men would be Sturridge and Welbeck and rightly so. Clyne is very good, should be in the squad, walker is off the boil, johnson is ok but Clyne has both sides of his game pretty much sown up right now. Lambert is the best of the rest, looked good today.

Whilst I do agree, it falls back to the situation that is, 'yes you have a point, but what do we do about it?' Id say the latest policy is making the best if a bad situation and in essance cutting down the number of uni joinrs will eventually raise the profile of degrees again and then will allow return on investment to a graduate. That said, should someone want to be say a lawyer, and has the aptitude to do so I would say its still worth the so called 'debt', the repayments really arent very prohibitive.
-
The thing is you need to look at the root cause, for instance the fact many cannot get jobs with their shiney new degrees is because of the massive levels of take up and rediculous amounts of useless courses that are being sat. Ultimately this completely devalues the degree. I think it needs to go back to being the elitest establishment that it is supposed to be. Tuition fees are far from the crippling debt many make out anyway and much more a cheap loan on reasonable terms that Id say rarely are paid back in full. The majority of 'debt' is probably accounted for from boozing it up anyway and Im not really going to argue tgat point as realistically I was the same. Personally Id like to see universities being more linked in industry, I am degree educated but it was funded by my company whilst learning on the job. This sort of scheme effectively creates a better employee imo anyway.

Way to completely miss the point there fella
