Saint in Paradise

-1 ( minus not plus )

How about only people who pay above a certain percentage of their wages as income tax are allowed to vote. This would stop freeloaders voting for politicians who promote all kinds of "benefits" to the scroungers so that they will get their votes.

I suspect that the FL is in a hell of a panic and are afraid to refuse BC because of legal threats if they don't let him take over again. Bit like the UK Govt is too afraid to kick that hook scumbag person and his family out of the UK.

In your original post you said your replacement car was arriving the next day - 27th Sept so what happened ??

ZepSaint, you didn't really believe Bearsy about his having a female lodger ?

Loved the post by "adenuff" where he says and I quote "Pompey folk have more intelligence than most, and wont swallow it". :lol::lol:

The move, predicted by BBC Sport earlier this month, will be announced on Friday and will have huge repercussions throughout Formula 1. It has forced Michael Schumacher out of Mercedes but it it is not clear whether the German legend will go back into retirement or look for another team. Sauber driver Sergio Perez has signed as Hamilton's replacement at McLaren. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/formula1/19755236 Anyone care? or does anyone else think like I do that these drivers are even more overpaid than footballers and are also not worth it?

Now you said that I had a look and only you are between "him" and me so I have to post to keep above you.

You was correct D M :lol:

"Was going to take my 4year old to his 1st game this season. Have told him we probably wont be going at all today,and now he hates me even more." Maybe but not as much as he would have when he gets older and sees what Saints are doing - Then he would really have hated you.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/19696740 Owners Venky's have been in talks about Kean's position for the past 48 hours, despite the club being in an automatic promotion place in the Championship. Kean's Blackburn record Games: 74 Won: 21 Drawn: 16 Lost: 37 Further talks are planned on Monday, with a final decision on Kean's fate expected in the next 24 hours.

Well Glasgow Saint is unable to make up his mind because at 6.42 he said Yoshida was MOM then at 8.20 GS said that Gazzaniga was MOM Ah is he in touch with his feminine side as feminines change their "minds" quite a lot.

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/09/20/madeleine-mccann-update_n_1898023.html The mystery of Madeleine McCann's disappearance may lie under a driveway just outside a holiday villa in Praia da Luz, the oceanside Portuguese resort town where the 3-year-old child was last seen in May 2007. The controversy began in June, when Birch first examined the driveway. The property is owned by the mother of a former suspect, Robert Murat. Three out of four GPR (ground-penetrating radar) specialists who were shown Birch's scan agree authorities should excavate the area in question. "There are anomalous features in the GPR data that may be due to [human] remains, but whether or not the data indicate the presence of remains cannot be determined solely from the GPR data. You must dig to find out," said Gary N. Young, senior vice president of operations and development for Underground Imaging Technologies, LLC. Michael Wolmarans, of Imbila Location Services CC, agreed. "After scrutinizing various scans emailed to me, there is a strong possibility of ground disturbance ... At the 3-meter mark, at a depth of 250-300mm, there is a distinct sign of a void. This suggests that the ground has been disturbed by digging. Below the void there is an object, though it is not possible to say what it is without excavating. If this were my own investigation, I would have little doubt that an excavation of the area would be required and this is what I would do," Wolmarans said. Ralph Baird, a geophysicist from Houston, also suggested a dig. "What is shown in one GPR profile and in a local area is just that there are objects in the box/dirt-filled area. The process needs to just dig and remove the dirt. The area is small enough for that to happen under professional or videoed supervision ... dig it up or probe it and see what is there; it's a small task -- the digging," Baird said. Bryan Bacheller, president of Digital Concrete Imaging in Tampa, Fla., had a slightly different opinion. "There isn't enough for me to compare typical soils to. However, there are minor disturbances that can be interpreted as human remains. With that said, I think the area is too shallow and 100 mm below the surface is a tar layer. Highly unlikely that a criminal would dig through such hard materials and in the open space of a driveway. My opinion is that this is not a crime scene," Bacheller said. Carter-Ruck, the law firm representing Madeleine's parents Kate and Gerry McCann, said they stand behind the decision of the authorities not to dig. "Mr. and Mrs. McCann are guided by the expertise of the British and Portuguese police, both of which have studied the information provided by Mr. Birch and both of which have concluded it is not credible," Isabel Martorell, a partner at the firm, told HuffPost. There is, as Birch points out, only one way to settle the controversy. "Dig. If you think I am wrong, then I am going to ask you one simple question, a question millions of people are asking: why haven't they dug or put probes down there?" Didn't the parents lose confidence in the Portugese Police a few years ago ? I can't remember. Anyway IF it was my child I would want a dig to take place. .

The football club has taken its demands to new heights after calling for an all-female flight crew for when they take to the skies. But although it may seem like these hot-red blooded men are just looking for a novel way to relax pre-game, the truth is actually much more bizarre than the fiction. According to reports, the Barcelona boys prefer to be served by ladies cause the male cabin crew are too interested in their on-pitch prowess. Barcelona’s sponsors, Turkish Airlines, is responsible for organizing away game travel for the Spaniards and have confirmed that many male attendants have been show a red card for being too starstruck. According to local reports players at the Catalan club said they have received ‘extreme interest’ from male attendants during flights. Luckily for club the airline has agreed to their request and will hand-pick only the finest female flight attendants in future. http://nz.sports.yahoo.com/football/news/article/-/14902328/football-superstars-call-for-women-only-cabin-crew/

PARIS (AFP) - Psychopaths have a remarkably poor sense of smell, according to a study published on Thursday. Researchers in Australia tested a theory that psychopathy -- a severe personality disorder characterised by lack of empathy, antisocial behaviour and callousness -- may be linked to impaired smell ability. Both phenomena have been independently traced to dysfunction in part of the brain called the orbito-frontal complex (OFC). Mehmet Mahmut and Richard Stevenson of the Department of Psychology at Sydney's Macquarie University trialled the olfactory skills of 79 individuals, aged 19 to 21, who had been diagnosed as non-criminal psychopaths and lived in the community. Using "Sniffin' Sticks" -- 16 pens that contain different scents, such as orange, coffee and leather -- they found the participants had problems in correctly identifying the smell, and then discriminating it against a different odour. Those who scored highest on a standard scorecard of psychopathic traits did worst on both counts, even though they knew that they were smelling something. http://nz.news.yahoo.com/a/-/mp/14909149/psychopaths-have-poor-sense-of-smell-scientists/ . The finding could be useful for identifying psychopaths, who are famously manipulative in the face of questioning, says the paper, published in the journal Chemosensory Perception. A thought has just ocurred to me, perhaps the FL should test prospective new owners sense of smell ?

Beheshti says he didn’t file a complaint against the woman who attacked him, despite going through “the worst days of his life.” According to Mehr, the case is being reviewed by the judiciary. The region’s prosecutor told the news agency that the case is being investigated but wouldn’t give any details. The prosecutor has referred to the case as an incident of a "public beating." Of course, when the same type of incident is reversed -- a "badly veiled" women beaten in public by police -- it’s simply a necessary enforcement of the dress code.

I used to wonder why that IF Appy was as good as some thought why didn't WBA make more of an effort to keep him. ( I stopped wondering a while ago now )

"I politely [told] her to cover herself up," said Hojatoleslam Ali Beheshti, an Iranian cleric in the city of Shamirzad in Semnan Province, describing a recent encounter with a woman he believed was improperly veiled. "She responded to me by saying: 'You [should] close your eyes.'" She then went on to:- "Not only didn’t she cover herself up, but she also insulted me. I asked her not to insult me anymore, but she started shouting and threatening me," Beheshti said. "She pushed me and I fell to the ground on my back. From that point on, I don’t know what happened. I was just feeling the kicks of the woman who was beating me up and insulting me." He said he was hospitalized for three days following the attack. :lol: http://www.rferl.org/content/iran-badly-veiled-woman-beating-cleric/24711685.html

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-19635239 Don't know what to say words fail me.:(

Only if it uses steam engines don't want manky diesel fumes.

Actually I find it funny at my age to see how all the younger folks want the most up to date gadget and how they swap from phone to phone. I confess to posting to have a bit of a laugh I don't intend to be spiteful and as attacking others choices. I don't care if my phone is out of fashion, doesn't do what these iPhones or Samsung or whatever can do as all I want is a phone that makes and receives calls and text messages. The rest is totally un-needed by myself and is also much cheaper. This last point is very important

On this football forum you have to conform with those that consider they are the elite or else you will be shouted at. :lol:

Video of new iPhone 5 Shows what the sheeples are like re Apple :lol:
