  1. Right, so it seems having a go at me is more interesting that the possibility of another massive nail being driven into the UKs coffin... Symptomatic of the obsession with self that preoccupies the UK nowadays. Glad I left, but mourning for days gone by...
  2. Do you have a reaction to this, or does it just present you with another chance to have a pop ? Your continual abuse of me is getting obsessive, childish and pathetic.
  3. One sweeping generalisation about Scousers replaced by another - about coppers.
  4. About to be taken over by EADS, meaning the UK loses most of its independent defence manuafacturing capability , one of its most important manufacturers in any case, and a lot of the depth and intimacy of the UK-US defence co-operation will be lost. Oh, and a lot of legendary names from fighting the Germans and keeping the nation safe since then such as Supermarine, Hawker (Siddeley), Blackburn, English Electric, DeHavilland, Vickers, Avro, etc, become majority owned by the French and Germans. The government has the golden share to block this in the national interest, but I am guess the spinless tw*ts that run this country will bottle it. They must have already given this an informal OK for the discussions to get as far as they have. Then watch the shareholders and board members run off into the sunset with massive briefcases spilling money out of the side, as Britain sells off the final piece of family silver...
  5. How much did the skates get? Enough for Voldemort to get another loan in ? EDIT: Yes !! 76.000,- !! Sod all chance of that being used to compensate ripped-off charities, I suppose.
  6. Nope, not really. Fairly ambivalent about it, tbh. The families feel some sense of vindication after continuing to dredge this up for a quarter of a century. I hope it brings them some pain relief. Only the revenge part to go, I suppose....
  7. Two words that p*ss on yours and the governments nice, cosy, politically correct and inert conclusions. Heysel Stadium. Oh, of course, just a bad co-incidence. Strange that... I am not blaming the fans of LFC exclusively or absolving the police. But we live in a grey world not a black-and-white world.
  8. How come you've never been banned ? You are one of the most aggressive boorish pieces of trash to frequent this site.
  9. Also gave Woy time for that nice cosy little one-to-one chat. You know the one. The one that goes along the lines of "Son, you want to become a squad regular and play for England, find a bigger club"...
  10. Yes, because institutional incompetence and covering up gets given as much focus on other occasions, doesnt it ?
  11. Hmmm, I genuinely dont think the voices of the people in southern constituencies get listened to as much as they do in northern constituencies. I still get annoyed how successive governements turned their backs on VT and gave all frigate and destroyer contracts to northern yards.
  12. Hmmmm. they did their job and sensationalised the story, but surely the story was originally fed from the police lies ?
  13. So, its nearly quarter of a century on; what do you suggest ? come on out with it, its all down to money. They can hold an individual enquiry for each of the deceased, it still aint going to bring them back, sadly. Arent the relatives just reliving and reliving some extremely painful memories by keeping this going ? Jesus, look forward to whats left of your lives, I say.... Would this still be dragging on if it had happened to the fans of any other team, fron any other city ? Would the police or the Governement give or had given one iota of a flying f**k if it had been Saints fans in the Leppings Lane end ?
  14. Brilliant.
  15. Yeah, but its a pain in the arse when she cant wait until we get home though....
  16. You're a bird ? Congratulations, btw.
  17. I take the missus and send her down to the bar 5mins before HT. She gets them in, and I get laid after the match as well because a few pints always gets her fruity.
  18. I doubt that very much. Still plenty of self-pity and emotional blackmail to come............
  19. Truly the real successor to MLT.
  20. Life's a piece of shiit When you look at it Life's a laugh and death's a joke, it's true.
  21. Great, our failure to properly reinforce the CB positions is going to have another consequence - our record signing cant be utilllised properly.
  22. Well, thanks for that. If I ever lose a member of my family through accident, illness or other circumstances, I will force myself not to grieve and be so self-pitying and self-indulgent by remembering your post....... FFS.
  23. Yes, and Area 51 was the setting for the Moon landings.... I knew someone would nit-pick about my "game-changer" comment. Some people are anally-retentive enough to do so. Nuclear weapons would never have been developed if WW2 hadnt happened.

    9/11

    11th anniversary today. Nearly forgot, how stupid of me. I still remember sitting in the lab at work, doing measurements, when a colleague rushed over and told me after the first tower was hit. I thought he was insane. We watched the second tower get hit live. I still have trouble with fully understanding the reality of what happened that day, it seems like a movie plot. And I wonder if any of us realised what impact that day would have on the world and our lives; arguably, its way the biggest game-changer since the Germans invaded Poland. For the 2977 innocent lost, and espeically the 1,122 still formally unidentified, 68 Brits and the 8 children on American Flight 77 and United Flight 175, I wish you all RIP. For the 19 I hope you are all rotting in hell.
  25. Congratulations Andy Murray. Long time coming, but you did it. I had a nagging suspicion that Olympic gold might unblock the mental dam that has been holding him back. I hope that your much-missed school mates were looking down and enjoying that too.
