  1. I've got a plan to teach my dog to swallow semen. It's coming on a treat.
  2. He is dreadful. Hope this helps.
  3. Nope. I was working last Saturday and missed the Watford game. I've got this Saturday off and it feels completely wasted. Appart from the F1 I'm bored off my tits.
  4. Why would anyone actually care how much is written about Saints in the papers? For me going to a game and reading people's opinions on here is sufficient. I can live without reading some badly informed half page article from a lazy journalist who probably wasn't even at the game and get's most of his material from websites like this anyway.
  5. He was drunk and probably meant to say, "I'm likely to sing"
  6. On the other hand... The UK did deals with Gadaffi recently and hardly has a clean history when it comes to human rights. America has huge problems with racism. Women, homosexuals and various minorities are oppressed in many other arab states. China... etc. I don't think there's any country on Earth which can really point the finger at the UAE.
  7. I know it get's up into the 40s there in the height of summer. I'd have an air conditioned appartment, car and the heat wont be a problem at work either so it's not a massive turn off. I've been told by a friend already out there that alcohol isn't really much of an issue. Being drunk in public is frowned upon and I know there are massive prison sentences for drug use. On the other hand I've heard there are loads of great bars out there. Regarding slavery... I don't like it, but I can live with it and the workers do chose to go there, in spite of the conditions.
  8. Not been offered anything yet. Thinking of applying for a possition, which I'd stick in the "managers" bracket. The job is awesome, that's not the issues. It's the "could I live in Dubai" issue that I'm interested in.
  9. If he'd scored against Aston Villa and got a Hat trick against Rotherham, I doubt people would be quite so excited. For some reason I can't seem to fathom, foreign sh*t teams are (apparently) better than English sh*t teams. Not knocking him, I don't begrudge him his move and wish him all the best, but lets not get too excited. £12m is a lot of money and spening £100m on Jermaine Wright wouldn't make Chamberlain any better.
  10. Considering an employment opportunity out in Dubai and I know we have a couple of posters on here who live out there (I'll take a guess at "Dubai Phil" for one). Just wondering what it's like to live out there. I know it's an awesome holiday with great weather, beaches etc. but what's the actual day to day life like when the honeymoon period wears off? What are the things you like most about being out there and what are the things you miss the most? What problems can you foresee for a munchkin like me who's never lived out there, aside from the obvious not being able to go to Saints games?
  11. We won at Reading under Poortaloo and I nigh on froze my tits off. I also went to Leeds under Pardew and froze my nads off as well, leaving me completely A sexual and somewhat unconvinced by my findings.
  12. I was waiting at the customer service desk at East Midlands Airport once, behind a Northern woman and her elderly mother. After 5 minutes of arguing with the girl on the desk, they turned around, the daughter phoned up one of her relatives and said in a loud Lancashire accent, "they wont let mam on't plane with 'er bus pass!" Made me laugh anyway.
  13. I think she's always been a bit 'Ronseal' TBH.
  14. He cannot be prosecuted, that's the point. Capturing him alive in Yemen is highly unlikely for a start. Sending a drone up to fire a missle through his French windows is one thing, sending in a crack team of special forces is quite another. If AAA was on the move, as many terrorists are, the chance to get him could well have been lost. Ignoring all of that and assuming AAA surrendered to US force and was flown safely to the US, he just wouldn't get a fair trial. As I said, the jury wouldn't be able to see most of the evidence and the jury is likely to be highly biased in their judgement. This is a country with Pastor Terry Jones and his clan of Quran burners. A high profile Islamic fundamentalist would be found guilty before he got off the plane.
  15. Aside from the logistics of extracting a man from Yemen for trial in the US, that trial would be a farce. For a start most of the evidence against him would be top secret and US intelligence would be compromised if it and it's sources was leaked to the public. Imagine that in court. "Next up the trial of Anwar al-Awlaki... oh there isn't any evidence we can put forward... okay you're free to go and live in a beach house in Miami"
  16. So his supporters now hate the west and want to kill us. How exactly does that differ from when he was alive. It's all well and good them calling him a martyr, but a dead body can't orchestrate terrorist activities. To get the reputation he has AAA must have masterminded some pretty evil sh*t. I'm glad the world is rid of such a sick mind and I really can't fathom why people think differently. It's almost a 'die and let live' philosophy.
  17. US citizen or not, if the US government has proof that he is responsible for planning terrorist attacks, they have the right to take him out. What I find odd is why these journalists talk as if they know everything about government intelligence. As if just because the govt hasn't released their information, it can't exist. Obama is hardly going to come out and say "we have proof, it was sent to us by Durka Durka Mohammed Jehad, our top secret mole within the Al Quaida top brass." Is the world a better place because of this assasination? We'll never know either way I guess.
  18. Wycombe had the best HT entertainment I've seen when we went there a couple of seasons ago. A penalty shoot out between 2 local kids teams, with Saints supporting the team shooting into our goal and Wycombe shooting into the goal at the other end. The Saints fans were all properly getting behind the kids and cheering loudly when they scored. Nice to see, especially as the kids were actually from Wycombe.
  19. 'Northam Lite' probably sums it up.
  20. Tickets booked for this. Cheers Spuds.
  21. Vignal, Skacel and Pahars all had a perfect record for us too.

  23. Hair makes up 46% of the human body mass. Make of this what you will.

    Well, he has got to prove himself to be better than Jermain Wright, Rory Delap, Tomasz Hajto and Lloyd James. Some world class tallent right there.
