  1. Gotta have a scapegoat.
  2. 'Morgan Shneiderling'. Got back in from my lucky 43 mile bike ride, put on my Saints shirt and cardigan ( I am old enough that my daughter bought me a cardy for XMAS ), turn on Radio Lanky and the first thing I hear is "Clyne shoots - GOAL !".
  3. Related story - what a surprise, Yorkshire Police fabricated evidence against miners. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-25550053
  4. Exeter & Wycombe, for 2. One thing about the skates, I think they're the lowest placed 'fan owned' club in the FL.
  5. I thought you'd left the 'playpen'. "In the last 40 years close to 20% of the Amazon rainforest has been cut down..." - http://environment.nationalgeographic.com/environment/habitats/last-of-amazon/ "Brazil says the rate of deforestation in the Amazon increased by 28% between August 2012 and last July," http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-latin-america-24950487 Not sure of the direction of this point, but I reckon that chopping down a 300 foot tall tree and replacing it's 'footprint' with a couple of square yards of grass won't balance the carbon cost.
  6. http://webarchive.nationalarchives.gov.uk/+/http:/www.hm-treasury.gov.uk/media/C7F/7E/ch_25_reversing_emissions.pdf Go to Figure 25.1 on page 2.
  7. Australia's first innings scores : Brisbane: 100-5 to 295 all out ( Haddin 94, Johnson 64 ) Adelaide: 257-5 to 570-9 dec ( Haddin 118, Clarke 148, Harris 55 ) ) Perth: 143-5 to 385 all out ( Haddin 55, Smith 111 ) Melbourne: 164-9 to 204 all out ( Haddin 65 ) Sydney: 97-5 to 326 all out ( Haddin 75, Smith 115 ) If we could only have found a way to get Haddin out early.
  8. Says the man who uses such constructive phrases as b0ll0x, nerd, wacko, and 'mental case', to counter differing opinion. Oh, and he also claims to be 'a f()ck sight smarter' than other posters.
  9. We'd be behind you in the queue.
  10. Is this of any use ? http://www.bikeradar.com/gear/article/heart-rate-monitor-training-for-cyclists-28838/ I did see one cycling forum where a similar discussion of HR effectively stated that you worked out your maximum by monitoring your heart rate and exercising until you either got dizzy or threw up - your safe maximum would be just below the rate you had reached.
  11. Actually, IMO, they are not - deforestation and pollution of the oceans are part of the theory of AGW, as impacting these 'carbon sinks' reduces the ability of the planetary ecosystem to compensate for human action by removing CO2 from the atmosphere.
  12. GM, you have convinced me - you're articulate use of the word 'nerd', astute discernment of his being a 'mental case', and accurate assessment of just about every thing ever written on the subject as b0ll0x, are all the evidence I need that we are having no effect on the environment whatsoever; deforestation is definitely improving the landscape of Amazonia, dumping sewage and thousands of tons of plastic into the oceans makes for happier turtles and dolphins, over fishing means there is much more room for those fish that remain, and the whole AGW thing is a complete fairy tale. I am honoured to share this thread with such an advanced and superior intellect.
  13. Accrington Stanley - who are they ? A team that partly funded their rise into the Football League on the back of sell-on clauses invoked when Saints bought Brett Ormerod from Blackpool, ( about 25% of the transfer fee ). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CgYP1d5nN2o
  14. http://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2013/12/30/18748547.php "The Paradox of Antarctic Sea Ice and Global Warming Denial: Research vessel trapped in ice"
  15. I think I'll steer clear of the post match thread, and leave it it to the wrist slitters and manically depressed.
  16. That'll be the manager of the team in 10th in the Championship, having lost 4 of their last 5 matches, and losing at home to Forest.
  17. "Oscar's initial cross had taken a wicked deflection off Calum Chambers"..... from the BBC
  18. Cross deflected off Chambers' boot.
  19. Whilst the trilogy is mostly based on the one book, they're adding bits in and possibly partly closing the gap between the end of the Hobbit and the start of LOTR, based on the back story of the LOTR characters, and the Unfinished Tales. If any extras follow reasonably close to Tolkien's writing it might include more Elves, and also Strider ( Aragorn ), who captures Gollum in the Dead Marshes. ( Mind you, Jackson did make some notable 'variations' to the established story line in the original films ).
  20. Not sure of your point, T,; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_American_Soccer_League USSF Division 1 MLS USSF Division 2 NASL USSF Division 3 USL Pro Now it may be possible for a franchise to buy it's way into the top flight in the US, especially if there's an expansion of the League. Maybe one of our transatlantic colleagues could clarify ?
  21. Plays for Orlando in the USL Pro league, basically Division 3, in the States.
