Unless you know of something different not in the public domain, I assume because of improvements in C3 technology.

I know you cannot tell us, but I would love to know what the contingency for loss of communications with the outside world on an "R" class or "V" class sub are/were in the case of our equivalent of Defcon 1..

And the probability of CO and XO (not to mention the WO) all going loopy is what, exactly ? It worked for over 30 years, I just dont see your point, mate.

Strange how two people can see things so differently. No launch orders were valid unless the XO repeated them. Hackman broke the Naval code by trying to replace Washington with the comms officer to repeat the orders. Members of the staff officers obejcted and removed him from command. (FWIW, I thought Hackman was in the right, and Washington was disobeying standing orders)

RIP, a visonary has been lost. Now watch Apple go tits-up. Samsung are sharpening the knives in the patent tit-for-tat (you might never be able to buy an iPhone4S if they have their way), and the absence of the "new idea" iPhone5 this week, in conjunction with no iPod updates for ages, is a huge message...

You sure you watched this film properly ? I though the whole point was that Denzil Washington disagreed with the standing order, preventing launch, and the conflicting positons caused the conflict between crew members on the Alabahma. So its hardly one man making the decision. The XO has to agree. First time I watched this, I thought "great film" until the last 5 mins when Denzil Washington got his unecessary and out-of-place agenda-driven racism jibe in.

Redknapp and the England set up are made for each other...

hehehe

Completely uneccesary.

Always thought the logo on the home shirt was f*cking crap. Glad we bought the away kit this time round.

The person I blame above all others (except Lowe) for our fall-from-grace...

I thought her and Sollecito had their convictions quashed and were released because of unreliable collection of DNA evidence, not because it had been demonstrated that they didnt do it...

Come on, "liar" is a totally inappropriate use of the word. If it were that, do you think NA would come out and say it, thereby giving the fans of every bloody team we play this season the chance to disturb the focus of one of our strikers ? Silly boy...

Our superiority to them means jack sh*t until we've beaten them at least 4-1 at Krap Nottarf. That 2005 defeat on our way to relegation still hurts. Until then it's all on paper. As for the longer ramifications, you dont know what is round the corner, so I am just going to savour that moment when it happens.

My main concern is whether they disrupt our momentum. Seeing as we drew, then lost and now won again, I was ambivalent about this break, but now thinking about it I am p*ssed off. I would like us to have built on the Watford game.

Have the screens still got dead pixels (black patches) in them ?

If it were yer average NPC player, then no, I wouldnt contemplate it. But he has demonstrated a bit of sensitivity to chanting from the crowd with the "back from the dead" song.

Want to see how we do against Derby, Boro and the Hammers before hanging out the bunting. But cautiously optmistic. We wont go down, thats for sure.

dont really watch the game on the big screens, and they cant be used for replays anyway, I seem to recall. But they are useful for checking time left at-a-glance. Couldnt care if the club dumps them but would want a digital clock showing time elapsed to replace them.

So, was DC really injured on Saturday, then ?

And now Derby on their way to defeat. A perfect Saturday. (still a little bit worried about our capability to get results against top-half teams...)

If Beattie is almost begging to play for us, and he performs well in a trial, I would deffo give him his chance. NC, over to u...

Down to one striker then, it seems.

Can anyone tell me where the f**k Connolly is ?

Yep, we must get back on track and prove NA has not been sussed out.
