Smirking_Saint

I am a graduate, but a graduate that ensured i had a job at the end of it and didn't just wittle away more of the countries cash or raise my own personal debt level too high. I fully support this idea. Why should i fund the majority of people that just go to uni for the lifestyle ? Not only this but also the fact that there would not be such a 'supposed need' to have a degree to achieve a role. The country is in enough debt atm, we need people going to work, supporting the economy and achieving life skills, not sitting in a pub and every now and again doing some homework for a media studies degree.

Can't be doing with losing my Saints season on FM

Played them both now. I used to be a PES diehard, nowadays i just want a decent football game to play with. PES hasn't really been in the races since fifa09 IMO and last year FIFA10 really drove a nail in the PES coffin, this was pretty much when i decided to leave the PES franchise towards FIFA's and really really enjoyed it (having thought it is too easy before) I really hoped PES would fight back this year, and it has, a little bit. It has moved on to the dire performance it had last year, but some of this is that FIFA11 has moved on, but not by a large amount. I don't like the animation in PES, and i am not a great fan of the gameplay, it doesn't look as polished either. That said i have to admire the fact that the top difficulty level is actually challenging. FIFA has got harder but anyone that plays it a great deal will find EXPERT mode pretty easy to master, this is where FIFA needs to act. Online and against mates FIFA is far far superior but still i get bored playing the league mode as it is too simple. My overall review - Two decent football sims this year, FIFA wins again but PES has closed the gap a little bit. If only FIFA added an extra difficulty level then there would be no contest.

I prefer Raid 6 for my laptop

Give morgan a bit more licence to break forward and he would be an awesome player, he seems to get this licence for France and plays fantastic in that sort of position. So my two would be Hammond and Morgan. Hopefully Hammond plays like he did against Tranmere.

osmotic

lol

I didn't say he wasn't suited ? I was saying that implying he isn't suited is a bit mental, in comical Alpine_saint style.

STI's

Mental......absolutely f*cking mental

Is he wearing a massive invisible rubber ring around his waist ?

Lol at the Ormarod haters, just....well....Lol.

The opposition can't score if they can't get the ball. Yesterday we looked phenominal, Tranmere were pretty poor but honestly we would have blown most NPC teams away with that performance, definately one of the best i have seen us in a very very long time, in fact i really can't remember seeing a saints team play with such verve, slick passing and confidence. I think Adkins is exactly the sort of manager we need, he is an up and coming and more importantly current manager who understands the world of football at the moment, studious and probably quite scientific if needs be aswell. Yesterday could have been a rout, but we have also looked so solid in the last few games Adkins has come in, Seaborne is a new player, Puncheon is playing better, Lambert finding his feet and Barnard has been a beast. We are playing with width, playing to our strengths and hopefully he also understands the importance of a plan B (though yet to be tested). I am thankful to Pard's for the day out last year, but our future has begun now and hopefully we will be seeing some attractive (winning) football on the south coast for some time.

He did well today, had some good touches, strong when needed but for me didn't get in enough space to recieve the ball. Tranmere were very very poor though

Great game Great performance Gully had the midas touch today

No.....you look like a bubble, there is a difference. You look nothing like buble.

Wow, all time fave, dunno, but the first notes of this song make the hair on the back of my kneck stand up [video=youtube;YfpRm-p7qlY]

My 52 play 2.0 petrol Zetec was always an unexpected joy to drive, like having a rocket under an armchair in the fact that it was the comfiest drive i have ever had and also had the shifting power when needed. Hopefully the new one is the same, i will be looking at the company car scheme next year, let me know what its like as this was one of my favourites.

You must be feeling sick, losing your cup final to two dubious goals ?? Lol, it'll be ok, i expect you will be able to drum up 5-6k of fans at your place that either couldn't get tickets in the away end or aren't having thier hair permed. You have made a decent start to the season, let the big boys take over now though mate i am sure we will wave at you on the way past. I do hope you stay up though, i have always quite liked plucky old Bournemouth.

I know, and so does my wife

I'd make her look like a plasterers radio, just for the crack

Hmm yeah, electric cars, in one hand removing the carbon emmissions of the petrol in the other taketh away by pretty much doubling the amount of energy needed to be provided by the grid, energy that will need to be created somewhere. Although i am all for non-petrol cars i am much more of the opinion that the Hydrogen cell is the prefered long term option. But yes, you are right, it IS much better to head towards a greener path then we are taking now, however i don't think we need quite the amount of stealth taxes that have actually been imposed on us, unless you look at it and think, without the taxes would anyone actually make any changes ?? I am a denier, i don't think the science is out there to prove either way, does this mean i am not trying to use energy more efficiently ? No, i am, i just do not agree with the premise of global warming. A much more alarming situation will be around 2015ish and onwards, when we will be relying very heavily on energy created elsewere for our needs, this is because the government is mothballing many of the older plants (along with some coing to end of life) not creating new plants soon enough and the peak energy usage of the country beginning to grow and grow, even now as an industry we do not see the summer dips in peak usage as we always did because of the invent of A/C and heat pumps etc will only make it worse.

As a nation we don't use a lot of Oil, which is generally a pretty sh*te generating medium as oil fired power plants take a long time to run up and are not very efficient. We still use a lot of coal and gas, and if truth be known still have massive coal deposits, they are just high in sulphur, but if push came to shove we could use it. Nuclear is the way forward but should have started a long long time ago. IMO you are looking at 20-30 years before we have a decent nuclear infrastructure. Wind is another decent method but essentially creates 'dirty' power that needs to be properly rectified before entering the grid or else will cause a high percentage of losses along the power lines. It is also pretty inefficient way to create energy as it only works under a small range of wind speeds. Wind has its place, but is not the answer.

This. I also am a bit sceptical about the whole fossil fuels running out, i mainly base this on the fact that unless the governments were not essentially forcing the major generating companies to develop green fuels then they wouldn't be doing much about it at all, i mean, surely if they KNEW that there main fuels and so main form of income was running out would they not be busting a gut to develop new ideas ?
