  1. Quality.
  2. I simply distrust, even dislike, experimental/research scientists. Nothing against theoretical physicists such as Dr. Higgs himself. If that makes me a tool in your eyes, I'll live with it..........
  3. I take it thats a no and you are a fan of plain vanilla.
  4. You want some strawberry sauce over your vanilla Higgs ???
  5. Its a f**king "boson". Its nothing to do with sailing f**king ships. If there really is more than one, the Standard Model they thought they had proven could be about to fly out the sodding window, triggering anothe mulit-billion Euro research application (how convenient..)
  6. Loved the package deal with pink plastic tweezers. Spat coffee on the screen, still wiping the tears from my eyes. Getting funny looks. Scientist are such pretentious w*nkers. "non-comformist Higgs", FFS. Did they really call it a "vanilla Higgs" ? Does it come with chopped nuts and chocolate sauce too ?
  7. Well, we know that already, I suppose, since the EFA doesnt seem to want to do anything about the complete f**king pig-sty of a club down the M27...
  8. Whats coming out of all this is just how weak and pathetic the Scottish FA are. They are letting the SPL chief pressure the SFL into admitting Rangers into Division 1 with threats of doom and disaster, whilst ingnoring the precidents such as the one you described. Imagine how bad they would run their country when they cant even run a football competition....
  9. You are assuming they will go into division 1. 10 of the 30 SFL teams have already come out against that proposal, and Sky are implying they arent going to stand by a Rangers-less SPL for more than one season.
  10. Ok, take it back. Sorry. I perhaps should have written that this thread has been used as an opportunity to b*tch about Harris.
  11. Yes, because women are so devoid of imagination and intelligence that it has to be exactly the same as the book. Deary me. Its all about money, isnt it ? So is it the shopping or the sex that gets them moist ?
  12. Just it may be, but it might also be the death knell of Scottish football.
  13. According to the live feed on the BBC, Scottish football is really up sh*t creek without a paddle....
  14. As VFTT says, why dont they just live the fantasy instead of reading about it ?? Its just the latest f**king bandwagon. Pathetic creatures.
  15. Idiots. Watch the SPL clubs now put pressure on the SFL to let Rangers into the first division. If the SFL dont allow it, the SPL have committed suicide. Turkeys voting for Xmas....
  16. Its not particularly fair to Airdrie Utd or Stranraer if Rangers go into the first division.
  17. Happy to go through this step-by-step. Yes, it was malicious; it was with extreme prejudice Yes, it was deliberate No, it was not without motive No, it was not reckless or careless Was uncalled for / without regard for what is right / humane ? Suppose these are the points that have been discussed over the last 60 years. It appears you and I disagree on them, however. For me this is all moot. These words may come from Churchill, but he approved the strategy in the first place, and Harris was ordered to implement it. Not Harris's fault if Churchill suddently got cold feet. The orginal intention of this thread was a b*tchfest at Harris, remember ?
  18. Imo you are reading too much into Churchills comments. He didnt say "acts of terror" and "wanton destuction" wouldnt help win the war, he just said focusing on things like oil and communications would be more effective. I think the use of the word "mere" was not intended to belittle or question the strategy, but to emphasise relative effectiveness in ending the war compared to strikes on oil and communications. I dont see a moral question at all, just an effectiveness question. So, the Allies woke up to a more effective apporach - going after oil storage and railway yards for example. They accordingly switched their emphasis in 1943-44 and accordingly the results were more effective, accepted. Discovering a better approach later does not invalidate the earlier approach. The moral dimension has imo been added later for questionable political purposes.
  19. All I said is it appears to be taking some time to close the deal, FFS.
  20. All that statement indicates is he wants the bombing to be more effective and efficient with regard to winning the war. I dont see a moral quandry being really suggested by this comment. In fact, he refers to missions like Dresden as "impressive"
  21. There you go again, troll..
  22. Yes, I absolutely climbing the walls over this
  23. Dragging on a bit, isnt it ?
