  1. That bloke Terry seems to appear in a lot of photos wearing kit when he hasn't actually played. He did it last year and now this year.Rather odd I feel so perhaps someone should remind him he didn't play ? IMHO he should stop diluting the real winners sense of achievement by appearing in photos when he doesn't deserve to be in them.
  2. Now and then whilst taking people around a certain tourist attraction I mention the Pilot, by name, and his excellent crew that saved that flight and how dangerous volcanic ash can be. Slightly off topic but I bet that a tremendous amount of pilots are very scathing about these idiots. http://dtinews.vn/en/news/017004/29073/vietnam-airlines-captain-to-face-fine-for-allowing-model-to-pose-in-cockpit.html The idiot in the pic is the first officer and I wonder if it was the captain taking the photo? Anyway no pilot was in control.Doesn't matter if the auto pilot was on as they can be disconnected by accident. I would have thought that they would have lost their licences for ever but they only got fined a small amount. The captain Nguyen Ngoc Nhu Y was fined $333 and the co-pilot Nguyen Xuan Hai $143
  3. Are you sure? Only the Kick Off is approx 23.00 hrs Perth time on Sunday 12th. It is 04.00 hrs Monday here in NZ when the match kicks off.
  4. Doctors are warning that a drug-resistant strain of gonorrhea could be more deadly than AIDS, and are urging members of US Congress to spend $54 million for the development of a drug that would fight it. "This might be a lot worse than AIDS in the short run because the bacteria is more aggressive and will affect more people quickly," Alan Christianson, a doctor of naturopathic medicine, told CNBC. http://rt.com/news/superbug-gonorrhea-aids-sex-900/
  5. I am a bit worried that Swansea might have a soft spot for Martinez and take it easy with Wigan scoring the winner in the last couple of minutes.

  7. Well if you don't mind someone staying in your country at your expence after being told to leave 3 times good on you. Oh yes and he has several kids who also are sponging off the taxpayer So glad I don't live in Aussie
  8. We better bloody not go down - I have just bought a new TV and paid to join Sky Sports so I can watch a better picture than via the internet !!! I shall write to the Club demanding money if we go down. I will also instruct my UK legal people to track down and sue that Dalek for compensation as well.
  9. I really love Cream, Pink Floyd, AC/DC, Led Zep and far too many more like them to mention. However I also really enjoy Nat King Cole, Neil Diamond, Judy Tzuke, Carol King and again too many others to list. My wife loves someone called Cliff Richard and also Elvis Presley, Can't stand either of them though.
  10. Pilots suspended for handing over control to air-hostesses for a 40-minute loo break:- http://mumbaimirror.com/mumbai/cover-story/Pilots-suspended-for-handing-over-control-to-air-hostesses-for-a-40-minute-loo-break/articleshow/19847210.cms Those flight attendants look quite tasty so I wonder ?? However an interesting comment on another website says:- "The inside dope. F/o on toilet break. As per SOP one C/C called in but invited to take P2 seat. Shortly after second C/c walks in , incredibly offered the P1 seat. Capt standing and teaching them how to fly a A-321 at 33000 ft. F/O comes back from toilet and all resume normal duties. Insiders say the F/O reported the matter to Flight Safety on arrival at DEL.Capt Soni and the two c/c are under suspension." MORE:- http://www.avherald.com/h?article=461b7ada&opt=0
  11. They have a bast*rd like qatada in Australia as well. Here is a clip from 2 years ago. .
  12. Didn't I read that only individuals can get the discount and not members of a syndicate as even that pdt lot realise that would cost too much?
  13. Why does everyone think we will get beaten by Spurs? Have you forgotten we beat Chelsea, Liverpool and Man City as well as almost beating Man Utd ???
  14. How on earth can you properly defend yourself when accused of something which supposedly happened 47 years ago especially as you are now 81 years old? I can't remember much stuff from 47 weeks ago so heaven help me if I am accused of anything from the distant past. Surely this shows there is a case of statutory time limit within which such allegations must be brought or forget it altogether.
  15. I really hope that you are correct...BUT I have a sneaky feeling that somehow they will manage to ignore / get around that somehow.
  16. Might not be any real girls but there are some big girls blouses on here. No names no pack drill
  17. For some ( Bearsy, Tokyo and Turkish ???)who post in TMS threads a question for you. Would your man wear 'manties'? Here they are just for you fashion lot. http://nz.lifestyle.yahoo.com/fashion/galleries/photo/-/16868346/would-your-man-wear-manties/16868354/
  18. I am not really religious these days but I do find it amusing for someone to harp on about how religion is a waste of time etc when the poster with these views has as his posting name M Le GOD :lol:
  19. Hopefully I will be deceased and been cremated for at least 51 weeks by this time next year.
  20. Please would someone explain in more simple terms what he means. I am a bit baffled. He is going to be the new coach at Toronto in the M.L.S. starting Feb 1st. "Nelsen's background as a central defender informs his philosophy as a coach: as far as he's concerned, the best form of attack is defence. And that means the team as a whole, not just the back four." "When you don't have the ball, that's when you can really work on the team - when you've got 11 bodies and one mind, without the ball," he said. "We really want to defend to attack - we want to score goals when we don't have the ball. "That's a philosophy I've always had. It's hard work, it's organisation, it's repetition, it's a lot of training." As a coach, he says his emphasis will be on grit as well as flexibility. "This team has to be adaptable, they have to grind out results but they have to play with style and panache. "Winning's hard - it's hard work to win games and the players have to understand that." http://nz.sports.yahoo.com/football/news/article/-/15958503/nelsen-finalises-coaching-blueprint/ .

  22. Just seen this on the BBC website:- http://scam-detector.com/ Quite interesting for us older folk to read.
  23. See we have stupid stuff over here as well as the UK case of sticking a dummy to a baby. A South African who faked work references and lied about his qualifications and experience has won $10,000 ( Approx 5000 Pounds )compensation for unjustified dismissal. But Friedriech Gostmann's former boss Gordon Faber says Mr Gostmann's competence as a refrigeration engineer was so poor he almost electrocuted an apprentice. Mr Gostmann was dismissed without notice from Independent Refrigeration and Electrical in Whakatane in August last year after making a series of costly and serious errors. In one of the incidents an apprentice asked Mr Gostmann if cables had been isolated when they had not. The cables short-circuited when the apprentice went to move them and he narrowly avoided electrocution. When Mr Gostmann was interviewed for the senior position early last year, he told Mr Faber he was a refrigeration engineer with 15 years' experience in South Africa. But when he could not perform basic duties alarm bells rang. "He always seemed to be jittery and I was always scared to work around him," Mr Faber said. He asked Mr Gostmann to resign or undergo a notice of dismissal process but said the 55-year-old did not come back to work. When Mr Faber made inquiries with Mr Gostmann's former employers in South Africa he was told Mr Gostmann was merely a handyman. His only qualification in the industry was the equivalent of a two-week course completed for immigration papers and that a reference from his former employer was actually signed by an unwitting office person. "He was actually a big bulls******." Mr Gostmann said he had never lost a job and he was shocked by the situation and wanted to move on. For the rest of the story:- http://www.rotoruadailypost.co.nz/news/compensation-worker-who-lied/1731185/
  24. Would you swear on a Bible in a Court that the last 5 words are really really true???? :lol::lol:
