You're assuming there aren't any problems with the parachutes.

Merry Christmas / Jolly Saturnalia / Happy Hogswatch, whichever you feel most affiliated to.

There is already a thread where character assasinations and political slurs can be flung willy-nilly. Saintsweb seems to be developing it's own version of Godwin's Law, where any thread will end up in a peurile, Brexit related, school playground brawl. (edit) FFS !

People should be ashamed of the way this thread has gone off course.

You would think that Sussex Police have a modicum of common sense; Policeman knocks on somebody's front door - " Good evening sir, could you possibly account for your whereabouts on Wednesday evening ?" "Of course, I was working in Kent". "Can anybody verify that ?" "My Boss". Policeman then asks "And what about Friday ?" "Oh, I was driving my boss's daughter around, you can check that with him as well" "Ok, thanks. Oh, by the way, do you, perhaps own a drone ?" "No" "Ok sir, sorry for bothering you".

When did we last score 3 goals in successive games ?

"He's not the Messiah, he's a very naughty boy".

If they do find the perpetrator, they shoul simply march him/her into the departure lounge and lock the doors. On a serious note, what a clear example to future terrorists of a low risk, high reward method for disruption.

Reaction from his own party; "Republican Senator Lindsey Graham, who is one of Mr Trump's supporters and sits on the armed services committee, called the withdrawal decision a "huge Obama-like mistake", which would have "devastating consequences" both in Syria and beyond. He said he feared it would mean ceding influence in the region to Russia and Iran. Another Republican senator, Bob Corker, who is chair of the foreign relations committee, went further, saying it was "much worse" than Barack Obama's decision to pull US troops out of Iraq when he did. "This is a transactional, political decision. It is not a decision based on facts on the ground," he told the BBC. "It is going to harm us, it's going to harm the people who care about ridding the world of Isis (IS), it's harming our relations. It is a colossal mistake and it needs to be reversed." https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-46632657

Can't get to this one due to our family Christmas get together, so I'll have to keep checking for updates on the match thread via my mobile phone.

It looks like it's only the US personnel in northern Syria that are being pulled out. This ensures that they won't get in the way of Turkey's planned attacks on the Kurdish held areas.

Are you saying that the 'divorce bill', whether it be £35Bn or £39Bn, is extortion and blackmail, as DaneGeld would have been. I thought it was to cover the UK's financial commitments up to 2020, which, incidentally, will include the pensions and 'golden goodbyes' of all the MEPs - Nige is rumoured to be due £150K.

GM, having quoted "Dane Geld", are you implying that the EU are threatening an armed invasion of the U K ?

Rudyard Kipling, described by George Orwell as "a jingo imperialist", who was "morally insensitive and aesthetically disgusting", and who's poem "Ulster" was described as a "direct appeal to ignorance and a deliberate attempt to foster religious hate".

GM seems to have sent the PM a candidate for seizing the title of 'Longest suicide note in history' from the 1983 Labour manifesto.

If it reads like , it probably is .

And the 80million Turks just waiting for Turkey to jon the EU and give them an express lane straight to Calais.

Sounds a bit like 1930s European dictatorships.

Bruce or Hughes, both Man Utd legends, or big fat Sam - always a good bet for struggling teams who sack their manager at Christmas. Or for real lols, Wenger for the rest of the season.

Arsenal spent a fair bit of time passing it around in their own half.

That is my view, ( and I voted remain ). I'm not sure how to resolve some of the issues that come with it; NI, Gibraltar, Anguilla, etc, but I took leave to mean leave, and damn the consequences.

Which "leave' would you vote for ? 'Hard' Brexit May's fudged deal Norway, ( with however many plusses you care to add ) Canada, ( ditto )

But, does the Maybot's proposal "implement what 'we' decided" ?

Cedric is #1, Valery is currently a competent backup, who hopefully will continue to develope and challenge for the starting place.
