FFS, another bottle blonde. Nothing special...

I have some good news for the site. I have to leave in about an hour for an overnight hospital stay, part of my latest therapy, so I will not be on the match thread. In fact, because of the strict hopsital regime, I might not find out the result until tomorrow. Not looking forward to a sleepless night.... Anyway, good luck to the team COYS WIFM

Oooooops......

This is the dude who got James Cameron to re-shoot the starfield above Titanic sinking, in the film, by nagging him for over 10 years about it being wrong compared to the time of the sinking, isnt it ?

Erm, no I dont think I will. It is clearly easier to chase off a Russian sub with a track on a US or UK missile sub in the N. Atlantic because the resources are in place to do so, and thanks to the SOSUS element of the IUSS, we know when a Russian sub enters the N. Atlantic. You might think you know it all about submarining, but for all we know you bake the bread in the galley.

Yeeeeessss, but I'd rather we were playing a less schizophrenic team, not managed by a bloke named Ferguson, at this juncture of the season...

My 12 year-old approached me last night about getting some sort of game for the computer called Minecraft. Having just read about this evil arsehole playing a game called Warcraft or something non-stop for a year before the atrocity, it was unfortnately bad timing. Suffice to say my son went away with a flea in his ear and absolutely no doubt about my answer.

I agree. Thats why I think he should be locked in a padded soun-proofed cell, all alone, no visitors, no recreation. And I dont know what the f**k his defence lawyer thinks he is doing, especially has Breivik doesnt want to go for the insanity angle.

Its a toughie, Turkish. Most normal decent people have a real problem in believing that humanity can be so inherently evil and sane (in control of ones actions) at the same time. This f**ker was shooting 14/15 year old children in the head. And it has never been concluded whether Thomas Hamilton was insane or not when he shot 16 5 and 6 year-olds dead in Dunblane, though our nature means we have to believe he was insane.

I didnt mean patrolling in the gaps, I meant that monitoring the gaps makes defending the sub easier if it is in the N. Atlantic.

Yes, but this b*ll*cks about having intelligence about one of our Trident subs patrolling down there as some sort of military escallation was so ridiculous the Yanks must have started questioning her sanity. OK, so the Falklands would be a nice safe haven away from the normal shipping lanes to station such a sub, and the missiles have the range to hit their predesignated targets, but it is also very difficult for us to defend the sub if we found out that Russians have managed to get a track on her. I expect them to be located in the North Atlantic with the US and UK on either side and the GIUK gap monitored for Russian activity, or maybe in the North Seas around the Shetlands and Orkneys

This thread has run for 24 hours and 4 pages, and when filtering out the small fraction of worthwhile comments from the rabid drooling it appears that the general body of opinion is that some sort of fix of this games result is an inconceivable scenario. I am not sure why, for me the arguments have less than convincing, but I for one am happy to leave it at that. We will never know for certain, and it will never be investigated. The question was simply about whether it should be. Happy for a mod to lock this before any more knicker elastic snaps.

There is growing concern in the Americas about her general behaviour, apparently. The Falklands is only one small part (and a pretty unimportant part to the other American nations) of the story. She is getting too left-wing and too chummy with Chavez, and this sounds this Spanish oil company issue sounds like something Chavez has prompted her to do. She is also getting too chummy with Iran. Brazil and Uruguay are getting fed up with her threatening the Falklands and the British too, since they enjoy good relations with the UK and want to keep it that way. Of course, tosspot countries like Peru, Venezuela and Bolivia still support her. Apparently she stomped out of the Cartagena conference early, because support of Argentinas position on the Falklands was not included in the protocol. She did very well before Xmas to get the Mercosur countries on here side, but it is falling apart now; apparently the US and Canada vetoed its inclusion in the protocol. The Carribean support of Argentinas position is paper-thin since Prince Harry's visit to Jamaica. The US position on the Falklands for me is clear. They dont want to be involved, they dont want to offend either side. It seems Obama (tries to) call them the Malvinas in American nation discussions, and the Falklands with us. I think eventually their diplomacy would be driven by what is right and what is wrong: e.g. if Argentina invaded again, the US would support the UK position under the auspice of the rights of the Falkland Islanders.

Fantastic stuff. A pity there arent any Mosquitos that have been dealt with the same way, but then again the Mossies probably wouldnt have survived because of their wooden construction.

He seems to be getting really worked up at the prospect of being classified as insane. He wants to be tried as sane. Apparently, one psych report has him as insane, and one as sane, so the 5 judges have the "casting vote" so to speak. Since being banged up in a mental hospital and have his beliefs ridiculed as insanity seems to be the only way to get back at him, I hope they do classify him as insane. The rest of his days in solitary, sound-proofed room, rubber wallpaper, no-one to listen to his drivel. Sounds perfect punishment. *expects this to be proposed as a way of dealing with me within the next hour*

Also Newky goal from me. 2 goals in the top 10 over 20 years. Top stuff.

What rules have I broken ? Yes, you can always ignore if your fragile ego cant hack something written by someone else.

Its called desperation. *Cue Bonnie Tyler*

Here we go. Another ridiculously expensive f**k up decision in the pipeline... http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2130612/EXCLUSIVE-Cameron-makes-humiliating-u-turn-future-Britains-aircraft-carriers.html I think by avoiding the cap-and-trap costs, they think now they can keep both carriers operational and get them sooner. B*ll*cks. The next round of cuts to fund benefits will still see the second carrier in mothballs, whilst the first goes around with crap toy planes on it. The whole F35-B concept is utter w*nk. The Russians proved it. And I've heard the US are very close to cancelling it. It just doesnt make sense, carrying the lift fans round as dead-weight. Better off converting both carriers to C & T and saving the money on the planes by cancelling F-35s and getting off-the-shelf F/A-18Es. Useless bastards. I really wonder about the top-brass in the Navy nowadays. Oh, and the reason the carrier costs have spiralled is because of the delays. So saving money in the short-term ends up costing the taxpayer much, much more in the long term.

Yep, and the c**t didnt bat an eyelid, but he wept profusely when they played his YouTube manifesto and it reached a picture of Vlad the Impaler. Seriously, the human race is better off without this useless evil tw*t expelling CO2.

Yes, you are so embarassed and outraged, that you posted on it again. Not too bright, eh ?

This is great news and a much-needed shot-in-the-arm after Hammonds recent performance. Maybe a case for putting him on the bench and giving him those few extra days before Middlesbrough and Coventry ?

bit of a chicken-egg situation that. I see practical issues with identifying any wrong doing, such as on what basis an investigation should start. I suppose I would go with the suggestion of earlier - start an investigation if any odd betting was taking place.

Is something going on at the AMEX stadium ? Surely these dates would have been known months ago and all the clubs told to keep them clear. Still looks like some special dispensation. Perhaps a little reward for helping Wham out.

confused.com. Hes worried about Saints beating Chelsea ???
