Good, but no cigar. Here is a cigar (or, in his case, a huge spliff which always he smoked before writing stuff like this). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p86BPM1GV8M

Watch your language. (Please)

But the ref didn't book him. If he had, then Rooney would have escaped any further punishment.

Then act on it. Don't pay your licence fee.

As long as thy don't throw his autobiography. That really could kill someone.

Keep up crabby. The fourth dimension is general relativity and the multiverse comes from string theory (among others). The anthropic principle may explain more than we might hope - the idea that the universe is ordered precisely as we would wish to see it. Which is why we keep hoping for aliens.

Have you read his autobiography?

Why so snarky?

Faced with either, which one would you choose?

You're wrong. A .22 can kill.

The scooby de nos jours.

And I'll assume you support the release of al-Megrahi, on the grounds that, in sending a convicted mass murderer back to a country that applied pressure on the UK government, it secured a few jobs for British oil workers (the ones now stuck at Tripoli airport).

Are the words too big for you? Okay, I'll put it a way you might understand. I take it you support Islamist terrorism so long as there are a few jobs in it.

I don't think you can read anything into this, other than that dune is a plagiarist.

I'm sure the victims of 7/7 and their families do not share your suffocatingly smug insularity. The Saudis actively finance Islamist extremism throughout the Muslim world with huge funds for madrassas. In Pakistan, Saudi-funded extremist schools have displaced state-funded mass education altogether in large parts of the country. Out of these schools, and others like them in other countries like Bangladesh and Somalia, will come a steady stream of 7/7 and 9/11 imitators - all fired up by a Saudi-approved violent hatred of anyone not fully signed up to Wahhabism. These madrassas are the very places that create the mindset that people like us - you - are worthy of nothing more than a slow, painful apostate death. And these are the mindsets that the Saudi have set out explcitly to create, in order to expand what was once only a medieval backwater of mainstream Islam. The Saudis aren't just some other tinpot dictatorship; they are wreaking havoc around the world. but that's okay with you because a few British jobs can be saved. How very magnanimous of you.

I know we lost it, and I'm extremely happy to hear that. The Saudi regime is THE largest exporter and financier of Islamist terrorism by far. Why the **** would you want to support such a colossally corrupt and violently medieval regime?

No one assumed you were able to argue anything. Your self-induced hysteria about al Qaeda is not worthy of discussion. Which I thought was about the BBC not being an extension of the Tory Party propaganda unit.

Can we start a campaign (or a mildly worded request) for the teabags to be removed from the styro cups more quickly? The tea is served way too strong for me, and beer is not an option.

That would be some kind of argument (a dishonest one) if any of it were true. It isn't. British companies bribe with the worst of them. So you're presumably happy, nonetheless, to see this cosy, corrupt dealmaking continue so long as it's 'good for Britain' when these UK-built weapons are turned on unarmed street demonmstrators and citizens?

Politican unhappy with BBC. What a surprise.

Horrible news. And sad to hear about the misdiagnosis. Time is precious with this disease.
