Saint in Paradise

Ah so they are not all bad then, I still can't find a report that that Hoddle person was a good manager.

Often the word "Legend" is not really true but in the case of this gentleman is certainly is very true indeed. He was also known as, IIRC, "The Lion of Vienna" for his exploits for England.

But everyone said that those two nice men, Mr Blair and Mr Brown were more like Tories than proper Labour

Well done you Tories with your defence cuts. Mr Goon, co-founder of the Air Power Australia think tank, said the US and its allies had been ''caught flat-footed'' by the J-20's maiden appearance. The J-20 has been described by some analysts overseas as ''unimpressive'' and a ''mish-mash of Soviet and American design features''. But Mr Goon said he believed it was clear from the images of the plane and other material that it was far superior to the JSF, and even to the US's top-of-the-range F-22 ''Raptor'' jet. ''It is basically a lot more stealthy than the JSF, will fly faster and higher, be more agile, and because it's a much bigger aircraft it can carry more weapons,'' Mr Goon said. ''This thing has been designed to compete with and defeat the F-22. They haven't even bothered with the JSF, and why would you?'' http://www.theage.com.au/national/chinese-fighter-has-changed-power-balance-20110114-19rcw.html

Oh no they ain't Do you put dimethylpolysiloxane, an anti-foaming agent made of silicone, in your chicken dishes? How about tertiary butylhydroquinone (TBHQ), a chemical preservative so deadly just five grams can kill you? These are just two of the ingredients in a McDonald's Chicken McNugget. Only 50 percent of a McNugget is actually chicken. The other half includes corn derivatives, sugars, leavening agents and completely synthetic ingredients. As for the buns After sitting on a shelf for 14 years, the hamburger bun has yet to develop a single trace of mold or even shrivel. If you read the list of ingredients in these buns, this mysterious mummification becomes less of a mystery: * calcium sulfate (Plaster of Paris) * calcium carbonate (Antacid) * ammonium sulfate (Harmful if swallowed) * ammonium chloride (Causes irritation to the gastrointestinal tract. Symptoms include nausea, vomiting and diarrhea) * calcium propionate (Preservative) * sodium propionate (Mold inhibitor) http://www.huffingtonpost.com/dr-mercola/whats-infast-food_b_805190.html .

Sorry but I think this is safe for work http://nz.sports.yahoo.com/galleries/g/8646818/girls-of-the-ufc/8646819/

Which one do you think this is ? http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=6c5_1294854336

What makes it worse is someone else quoting all of it :lol: Only joking keep up the good work chaps

Perhaps he thinks that you do it so much better and knows he couldn't compete?

Farmers have known about it for decades. Theoretically, they can steal electricity wirelessly from the overhead cables that travel through pylons on their land. "It was anecdotally a nifty way to nick power," says Dr Anthony Thomson whose company, HaloIPT, has launched the world's first commercially available wireless charging for cars. HaloIPT is using the same technological knowledge to charge electric vehicles. Simply park over a HaloIPT induction pad, which looks a bit like a rubber mat, and begin charging. It cuts out the hassle of using a charging cable, which car manufacturers know put off people buying electric vehicles. If HaloIPT has its way, eventually pads will be built into roads and cars will recharge by simply driving over them. HaloIPT uses technology developed by professor John Boyd at the University of Auckland in the 1990s. It's a surprisingly simple concept that was first discovered in the 1880s, and is increasingly being used for everyday devices, from electric toothbrushes to inductive cooktops.

Desire Petroleum, the British oil and gas explorer, dealt investors another blow this week by revealing that it has so far failed to find any hydrocarbons in a further drilling hiccup in the Falklands. The update on the Jacinta Prospect well in the North Falkland Basin comes after Desire said an "oil discovery" at the Rachel North well, unveiled last month, had turned out to be water. After that episode, Desire plugged and abandoned the Rachel North well to focus on the Jacinta Prospect. But having drilled to a depth of 1.3km with no success, Desire said yesterday that the Jacinta well, in which it has a 100 per cent interest, would now have to be drilled to the planned total depth of about 1.67km. Yesterday's admission sent Desire's shares sliding 18p (36c), or almost 30 per cent. Could this be a major bluff to try and keep the Argentines away from the Falklands ?

I know it did over here but you lot in the uk are a year behind us so didn't think you would notice

Made me think of that saying no-one seems to use anymore "Harsh but fair" Surprised no-one has mentioned it's the start of a new decade either, well it is already 2011 and the new decade here in NZ and has been for 8 hours and 20 minutes. .

Contact the airport and they should be able to confirm any cancellations.

A US man who could face up to five years in prison for reading his wife's emails has labelled his arrest as "insane" and "outrageous". Michigan computer technician Leon Walker was charged with felony misuse of a computer after he used her password to log on to his wife's email account. Walker, 33, suspected she was having an affair — and he turned out to be right. "It's outrageous, it's insane," Walker told American TV network ABC of the charges. "I definitely feel it was okay to confirm (the affair) by reading her email in our home." Walker was able to access his wife's email account because she kept her password in a book beside the computer. http://lifestyle.msn.co.nz/nzmenslifestyle/gadgets/8189953/husband-could-go-to-jail-for-hacking-wifes-email

Anyone else have a sneaky feeling that England are playing for a draw? I mean the field placings seem very defensive to try and save runs rather than attacking to get batsmen out. A bit disappointed with Strauss to be honest.

Please will you tell me who on earth this "Hoddle" person is. You keep on and on about him but I cannot recall any successful manager with that name. I have even tried something called "Google" with no real result apart from some bloke who used to be an average player quite some time ago, is this who you talk about?. .

Russia has always been paranoid and she spies on everyone regardless of whether she regards those countries as friends or foes. Her own people are also suspected and watched very closely. Mind you I suppose the same could be said about all countries these days it's just that some conceal the fact better than others. Don't forget all the CCTV cameras in the UK for "preventing crime" yeah right. :lol: Anyway it is almost 09.40 Christmas Day here so Merry Christmas to all who read my drivel.

http://www.dailyecho.co.uk/news/8748499.Lone_taxi_driver_scuppers_cut_in_Christmas_fares/?ref=mr A TAXI driver has been dubbed the Grinch Behind The Wheel after he scuppered a bid by trade bosses to cut fares this Christmas. Marc Smith, 50, called the festive goodwill gesture “truly bizarre” and claimed many passengers did not care what they were charged to get home from a night out in the city at Christmas.

I suspect a certain poster on here has OCD about a certain politican and political party. No names, no infractions In all seriousness though OCD can be a very life disturbing trait.

Some of you might as well not bother going to Holland now THE HAGUE, Netherlands - The Dutch government moved a step closer to barring tourists from Holland's signature marijuana bars with a ruling by the European Court of Justice yesterday that the ban would not violate European laws. http://msn.nzherald.co.nz/crime/news/article.cfm?c_id=30&objectid=10694892 .
