Sorry, I try to avoid the jokes, but quite frankly you are a target for vitriol on the scale of Harriet Harman, and therefore fiendishly difficult to resist

Its in the Guardian. I wouldve thought that was the equivalent of the old grey beardie-weirde on Mt. Siani clutching two slaps of stone to you...

Strange, I was watching 1984 last night. Orwell would be proud of his prophesizing...

*code for lecture others about unity then pursue the national interest exactly the same way as the nations they are abusing*

Yeah, must be Britains fault; it cant possibly be that the treaty is sh*t and undemocratic

So maybe the Iranians are telling the truth that they electronically hijacked it ? Maybe it never received a self-destruct command, or it was countermanded.

Yeah, well unfortunately sea and sky is blue.

Nice idea, especially if it ended up in China like the F-117 that was shot down in Serbia, but I doubt that the US would expose billions of dollars of Stealth technology development unecessarily. I mean, look at the RQ-170, its a scaled down B-2 Spirit, FFS...

Who likes my attempt (see avatar) ?

Afghanistan is a sh*thole in the middle of nowhere with nothing of value except a reasonably strategic location, but at one time or another, it has attracted the attention of every world superpower for the past 200 years, excpet China (give it time, their hegemony is still young..) The only other point it may be related to is that it is responsible for a huge percentage of the worlds heroin manufacture..

Trying to work out how the OP illicited such nasty responses..

Change the tree for a Spitfire.

Two thoughts occur: 1. How "stable" is Iraq now really, and what is stopping Iran taking over now ? 2. Its very easy to slag the US off for starting this, but the US clearly had an insecurity/revenge complex post-911 and who can blame that nation for collective loss of rationale at that time ? Americans arent stupid, despite what certain elements of the media tell us. Bear in mind that the last time something like this happened, 7th December 1941, we benefitted from it greatly.

Which side are you suggesting will U-turn ? Its clear to me that whatever Clegg, Cable, Hughes and Eastleigh-W*nker are doing, the Tories wont shift an inch, and the olive branches and second thoughts seem to be coming from the other 26 nations, with perhaps only France still as resolute as it was last weekend.

That description states "especially", not "exclusively". Add insufficient grasp of the English language to your list of misdemeanours...

Nope, just have a problem with deluded people. You really should change your moniker on here to Comical Ali.

Oh, wake up and tune into Reality FM, FFS !!! The only reason the Euro still exists is because the pound and the dollar have both been managed ineptly too ! Deal with it, the Euro is f**ked.

Sarkosy is only playing to the domestic electorate. He must be. Even he aint that thick.

Which just demonstrates what a bunch of f*ckwits are in the Labour and LibDem parties, both quick to condemn, yet both unwilling to say they would have signed. British politics became a one-horse race today. And to think I was a lifelong Labour voter...

Aw sh*t, all the best to her, hope she isnt too traumatised. Just heard an 18month-old baby girl lost her fight for life over night. Awful..

Perfect. Set to the tune of a nursery rhyme to account for the disadvantaged mental ages you will be dealing with. Whats the point in clever lyrics that they wont be able to understand ?

Great read, now I am even more nervous. This is the BIG one. I couldnt give a f**k about promotion for the moment. We have to beat them. that Fratton game in 2005 must be avenged.

Oh, do leave it out. The Euro is falling further apart by the minute. Already a consensus is developing that last weeks' treaty aint going to work. A re-alignement away from the EU is seriously in order now; Europe stands on the verge of turning into an economic wasteland.

Frank, you do have something worthwhile to say, it just frustrates me that you use 10 words to say it when 1 will suffice... You come across as a wind-bag that makes reasoned comments, if one has the patience for you.

"Long Live Mecca Bingo" ??? How f**king old is this ? My mother was the licensee there when it was the bingo hall, it was turned into a looney Christian church months ago.
