  1. I've been an advocate of the BBC losing their charter for years. They no longer serve the British public with news coverage and programming, its all self-serving and politically motivated. And all the quality elements, like some of the best telecommunication engineers in the world, have been subcontracted out because they are too expensive.
  2. Yes, my spelling and grammar were a bit awry in this post. I will correct it.
  3. Erm, no it didnt : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Challenger_disaster#Crew_escape_was_not_possible
  4. Reminded me of that scene in 2001: A Space Odyssey
  5. Did I say that ?
  6. He pulled his chute 20 seconds too early and blew one record. I've just discovered that my wife's sister knows Baumgartner, and thinks hes a bit of an arrogant arsehole. I do know that in a recent newspaper poll, two-thirds of Austrians indicated they didnt give a sh*t about what he is doing.
  7. 16.01 is safe then ? Because my bloody PC has just automatically updated to it. Seriously thinking about switching to Chrome.
  8. Just like the temple priests of Global Warming have tried to ignore Lovelock's about-face, you mean ??
  9. Oh, because Phill Jones and his mates at East Anglia have behaved impeccably all along, havent they ? You either believe in global warming or you dont. The two sides are entrenched, and invariably get abusive towards each other, junking the data from the other side.
  10. What an odd, paranoid, agenda-driven post. I created this thread because I was deeply annoyed at a very delusional arrogant man putting the team I love down in the national media.
  11. Cant see Nike making much effort with a kit for us. They will just offer us something from their standard range. I think we will change manufacturer, though havent a clue to whom. Like some others, I absolutely detest Kappas chav-styling, so hope its not them. Patrick still do nice kits.
  12. Nearly 40mins to score. Pathetic. Hope we dont qualify, so we can by-pass the ridiculous "we gonna win" build-up in the English media.
  13. Its an honourary appointment, and one he barely deserves. Lets not forget how he nearly derailed Euro 2012 with his red card in the last qualifier, then his mostly non-existence when he did play, and in South Africa.
  14. A sensible view at last, amongst all the shrieking "how dare you say Rangers and Celtic arent big clubs". I dont like the term "big". It seems to be some moronic unthinking generic term used to pump up some clubs and belittle/abuse others, just like Green has done. Are Blackpool still a "big" club, consideing their massive contribution to the history of English football ? Preston North End ?
  15. Didnt he play for Villa once too ? Probably explains why he singled the two clubs out - sour grapes about him.
  16. How many non-prequal CL places do they currently get ? I am guessing none. No way they will get in an Euro Super League
  17. Which needs a lot of cleaning up afterwards after the home leg.
  18. Come on, be serious, Woy, or find another job.
  19. Like me, you havent got a clue about the stress of being in a war zone. Drop it. This isnt like that Yank bird who premeditatedly abused prisoners over a period of time by dragging them round on dogs leads.
  20. You're a better man than me. I would have brought my rifle butt down between his eyes.
  21. I'd like to comment on this without sneering from Viking Warrior and TDD... I find this news disgraceful. As Martin Sheen's character says in Apocalypse now, prosecuting soldiers for murder in a war is like handing out speeding tickets at the Indy 500. And I am fed up with how the Army High Command throws its people to the wolves in order to keep cosy with the PC-motivated MoD, in order to keep their cosy pensions.
  22. I'd like you to corroborate that statement.
  23. He is quite rude about Aston Villa as well, and they are not "small".
  24. What a c**t. http://www.dailyecho.co.uk/sport/9982396.Rangers_chief_brands_Saints_a__small_team_/ What is this delusion of granduer about Scottish football ? No-one outside Scotland (except a few select sectarian areas of Ulster) gives a shiny sh*te for Sweatie football.
