  1. Which I do.
  2. The flags aren't bad, but Unions Flags beat the St george cross every time IMO.
  3. For 6.5-7.5k you can get a really nice audi/bmw/merc. Why buy a boring Ford or a Vauxhall or some French crap when something decent is in your price range?

    There's nothing worse than unscrupulous practices. In business we seem to have lost a lot of honour or decency. Is this what you are getting at?
  5. Round of applause for Penguin news. http://www.theweek.co.uk/americas/falkland-islands/45164/falklands-newspaper-calls-argentine-president-***** ffs, the swear filter on here invalidates the link. Here's the story... Falklands newspaper calls Argentine president 'b1tch' Outrage as Penguin News gives picture of Cristina Kirchner an offensive filename THE NEWSPAPER of the Falkland Islands, the Penguin News, has provoked outrage in Argentina after calling the country's President Cristina Kirchner a "b1tch". The insult came to light yesterday after Penguin News reported the fact that Kirchner was going to complain to the United Nations about what she saw as Britain's "militarisation" of the South Atlantic. As the Argentine newspaper La Nacion reports, an image of Kirchner that accompanied the Penguin News article online was given the filename "*****". When an Argentine political scientist took to Twitter to ask the Penguin News editor, Lisa Watson, if she knew the picture had been labelled "b1tch", she replied: "Erm, oops - not now you'll find." She put the faux-pas down to the "dry humour" of Penguin News staff. This morning, the offending image had been replaced with one called, simply, 'Kirchner'. But the insult had already gone viral on social networks and Argentines were outraged, says the The Guardian. Comments on the La Nacion article included an insult to the British royal family, which a reader said was "full of homosexuals". In Watson's defence, "b1tch" is pretty tame compared to some of the insults she herself has had to put up with in recent months as the Argentines have ratcheted up the pressure over Falkland Islands sovereignty. Watson told The Guardian last week: "I receive threats and insults via our work email address and on Twitter. The threats I try not to take seriously, particularly as the individuals tend to sign their name and even offer 'besos' (kisses) after claiming they are coming to the Falklands and their first task will be to kill me. "Mainly I am referred to as a prostitute, liar, thief and pirate - other words I really wouldn't like to mention."
  6. If I was an advisor to David Cameron my advice would have been to have scorned the witch and and draw her fury. She is clearly deranged and the more exposure she gets the better.
  7. He's waiting for the munchkin doctor to certify him completely dead.
  8. A few comments from an american paper that has reported the story.... Looking through her article photos, and especially the one today on CNN, this woman looks like an hysteric. We have a couple relatives like this: Any stream of facial contortions to try to frighten unprepared listeners into believing her sincerity. From those facial expressions, she needs to be certified. The Benito Mussolini of Argentina. ........................... Sigh. Time for another arse-whoopin' ........................... The Argentinian President would like everyone not to notice that she's running her country into the ground. She needs to take control of the Falklands like she needs another hole in the head. The coolest thing for us about the European takeover of the Americas is that the smart folks came to North America. You can never underestimate the lack of common sense on the part of most country's leaders once you get south of the border.
  9. Cameron should have slapped the witch. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/southamerica/falklandislands/9342624/David-Cameron-and-Argentinas-Cristina-Kirchner-in-clash-over-Falklands.html
  10. I'm not overly concerned about Spain, and we can only meet Germany in the final I think.
  11. Good performance. We can win this tournament.
  12. Great defending from lescott
  13. Haven't seen any bananas on the pitch yet.
  14. They need the line judges from wimbledon or a cricket umpire. They'd have seen it.
  15. Thank **** goal line technology isn't out yet.
  16. Milner the new Guly?
  17. Gone back to MSE, it works and doesn't slow the putor down. Running fast again now.
  18. To be honest i'll never like the commie scouse git. His half hearted (forced) attempt to remember the words to GSTQ didn't fool me.
  19. Get in Shrek
  20. The mong band are back then.
  21. Watch fat boy Rooney not sing the anthem
  22. Who the f/ck wants to hear the views of Roy f/cking Keane.
  23. But do you really think he'll be picked again if he doesn't perform or behaves like an idiot? (btw i do realise he is an idiot)
  24. For once Rooney, and all the others who think they can pick themselves for the team, know they can't. Roy Hodgson is imo the best manager we've had in years. Let's do the job tonight then dispatch the Spaniards to the raptuous applause of the people of Gibraltar!
  25. James Milner will line-up for England against Ukraine in tonight's Euro 2012 clash. The Manchester City player has been given the nod ahead of Theo Walcott by manager Roy Hodgson. Walcott has been troubled by a hamstring injury, and although he made an explosive impact in the previous game against Sweden on Friday Hodgson has decided not to risk him. England: Hart; Johnson, Terry, Lescott, Cole; Milner, Parker, Gerrard, Young; Rooney, Welbeck
