  1. Don't suppose you've got a video of that?
  2. What about straight men with big tits? I know they're a bit saggy and all, but do they not do it for some? Unfortunately I'm a bit skinny, so I can't really say. Any lardy gits care to enlighten me?
  3. The main problem with socialism is that there is no motivation to suceed. Why work hard at school, university etc to get a good education and become a doctor, scientist, lawyer etc. when the state is just going to take all your hard earned cash and give it to other people. You might as well just sit at home mooching off benefits. I can't think of a single socialist state which has been a success by any stretch of the imagination.
  4. I'm pretty sure they weren't planning to blow the US off the place of the planet with a couple of 767s. I'm sure they'd like to, but anyway this is going off on a tangent. I'll go easy on the metaphors from now on.
  5. In principle, yes they are. Of course this is nothing like 911 in terms of of scale, global impact, loss of life etc. but it's the same thing going on. People resorting to violence to draw attention to their political opinions.
  6. 911 drew attention to Islamic fundamentalism. Didn't mean people supported it though.
  7. In my ideal world, we'd get in a left footed version of Antonio and a mentally stronger version of Puncheon. That way we have a pacy option and a technical player for both wings. Agree that Martin could do the job and I don't get why he's not in the team instead of Jaidi, who is getting very old and is far too slow. Him and Fonte would be my first choice pairing. A new CB isn't a top priority, but without Fonte we look pretty dodgy. Guly can go back to Italy. I'm sorry he's just crap.
  8. So now we are outraged at hypothetical changes to the system which the ConDems haven't even invented yet?
  9. Specific players - Le Fondre, Beattie (thought I'd get in early with than one), Chaplow on a perm. General requirements A winger with pace and height. Antonio would be perfect, but we wont get him. A winger with skill and technique. A big strong, but much younger, centre half to replace Jaidi HCNDAJFU - Pulis, Forecast, Wotton, Holmes, Connolly, Guly and Jaidi. Getting rid of them may prove difficult in some cases.
  10. Rule ein.
  11. Just look at the options we had to change it from the bench. Connolly, Doble, Dean and Gobern. Two of them haven't even played for Saints yet, Gobern is hardly proven and Connolly... aside from that FA Cup cameo he hasn't done anything for the best part of a year now. Infact I've just checked, he scored against Walsall in last weekends fixture last season, since then he has 1 League goal. I don't get how we've signed so many players and yet are still so thin. It seems like there is a black hole sucking players in. Looking at it, he barely had a team to put out today, let alone plan B. Let's see what January brings before crucifying him.
  12. Any students who think this are just a muppet plain and simple. If you're thick enough to just go "aaaaghh, debt" without actually looking at the wider picture, then you probably shouldn't be going to uni anyway. There is no possible scenario under this scheme where you could ever end up paying back loan repayments you can't afford. I'm not sure exactly which degrees cost £50k in tuition fees and will only put you level on salary with a McDonnalds burger flipper, but I'd probably give that course a miss too. Maybe I just can't get into the mentality of someone from a deprived background, but if it was me I'd be saying, "great. I can go and do a degree that I can't pay for at the moment and I will only have to pay it back when I've got a decent salary coming in".
  13. Ultimate Force (They would have to resurect the original cast from Series 2. Series 3 and 4 were sh*t) Noel's House Party. F**k the Xfagtor, this was proper Saturday night cheese. 2DTV Trigger Happy TV Candid Camera
  14. I'm no Tory, but who are people going to vote for instead? Labour after they bankrupt our country and with Milliband in charge? The Lib Dems who promise voters gold dust and magic beans, then bail out on their promises with the coalition govt?
  15. 1. They're getting off their arses and doing something pointless. The country is skint, cuts need to be made and they are not exempt from this. 2. After the projected end of the recession? Quite possibly. After this country has wiped out it's MASSIVE amount of debt? Not on your nelly. 3. A bit of an ironic statement since the students are actually protesting AGAINST a change in the status quo. The changes that need to be made involve cutting costs and increasing income. A reasonable portion of that will have to come from education, same as any other sector. 4. So they went to one of the best schools in Britain and this got them a top government job. If you flip the coin and slated some "pikey" MPs just because they went to a basic comprehensive school, you would be labled an arrogant snob. Yet for some reason discriminating against the well educated is fine. 5. It was hardly a minority of the country. It wasn't enough of a majority to win the election outright, but it's hardly as if the Monster Raving Looney Party is running the show. 6. How many times does it have to be said. THIS NEW TUITION FEE PLAN DOES NOT PREVENT POOR PEOPLE GOING TO UNIVERSITY. There is no up front fee. You don't have to pay ANYTHING back until you are earning a salary. You can't "not afford" to pay £0, no matter how poor your upbringing. Gordon Bennett... 7. Yes we have a Monarchy. They have been living in luxury at the taxpayers expense in principalities accross Europe for several millenia. What the feck has it got to do with tuition fees now. Yes it will cost a bit. It will also draw in big revenues in terms of tourism, TV coverage and souvenir mugs. How many people do you reckon will line the streets of London for the wedding? A couple of hundred thousand maybe? All wanting food, accomodation, transport, souvenirs etc.
  16. Gash. Just gash. The only two Saints players to come out of today's game with any credit were BWP and Skacel. Sadly they left 18 months ago and I had to watch that shoyt. We were awful all over the park. It was like the Wilkins games all over again.
  17. I think the people outraged at the Lib Dems really need a reality check. EVERY election they can promise voters the moon and the stars, knowing they will never be in government and will never be required to act on these promises. Now they have a foot in the door with the coalition, suddenly they've got half a chance of pushing a few of their policies through. Unfortunately many of them are completely unfeasbile, like the promise not to raise tuition fees.
  18. I'm guessing not... "The wings will be operated by the drivers, who will be able to use them when they are within a second of a car in front which they are trying to overtake" It's a good idea IMO, but I'm guessing as soon as the car behind gets 1mm infront of the car they are trying to overtake, technically the overtakee is within 1s of the car in front and can use the moveable wings too. I predict lots of juicy controversy over this rule.
  19. It's the same for me. I have no problem at all with young people wanting to be educated so they can get a decent job. It's the people who don't think they should pay for their degree, even though all of them can afford it, and so thrown their toys out the Pram. Defacing a monument to war heroes and a statue of Sir WC isn't exactly endearing them to the rest of the nation.
  20. I know, that's why I took £30k. It's a moddest figure, which a qualified graduate could reasonable expect to earn.
  21. No it's not, there is a massive difference. If you get sacked tomorrow, you don't get to stop paying your mortgage. You can't buy a house and then delay paying it off for years until you've got a decent job. The deal students are getting is far cosier than any mortgage on the market.
  22. At a rate of about £15 a week (assuming for a second he gets a job earning £30kpa). So this bloke wants to go to uni, but isn't willing to give up 3% of his future wages to pay for it. Wow, he must really have a passion for his career.
  23. Yeah, it doesn't really help their cause when people like that are on their side.
  24. So on the one had there are students breaking into buildings, throwing rocks, snooker balls and feck knows what else. However you are outraged at the Police for running towards them. If you play with feathers, you get your arsed tickled. Anyone who is enough of a tool to start a fight with a bunch of riot police deserves all they get.
  25. I think 3 seasons in the treatment room is enough to draw a conclusion for me. Sorry Lee, useful player but time to move on.
