"When I’m pining for a cigarette I think of all the free ones that I’d get If I killed myself and came back as a beagle" Lyrics from 'I Left My Heart in Papworth General'

Some quotes from the last few days : "die god damn you die!" "They quite simply cant keep getting away with it, surely ? " "how can they afford Mcleod ?" " They are going to need some good players to keep them out of Div4 and a lot of luck to keep them afloat." Obviously been infiltrated by scummahs !

http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk/2006/apr/05/otherparties.politics "The Conservative leader, David Cameron, was last night threatened with a libel action by the UK Independence party (Ukip) after accusing his rivals for rightwing Eurosceptic votes of being "fruitcakes and loonies - and closet racists mostly"." "The Tory deputy chairman, Eric Pickles, MP for Brentwood and Ongar on the Essex fringes where Ukip polled 4.1% of the votes in 2005, reinforced his leader's defiance. "A number of organisations ... accuse Ukip of spreading hate and bigotry and they say it's not just anti-Europe, it's anti-black, it's anti-minority, anti-immigrants, anti-asylum seekers," he said."

Having been taken off life support he has died.

Love the comment underneath : " This band are The Wurzels without the seething sexual undercurrent."

I suggest you do some digging into the planning for Local Government finances for the next 3 or 4 years.

Given the allegations concerning how their supply chain is constructed to ensure purchases of their principal product's ingredients are ultimately sourced from offshore, I doubt their net contribution amounts to much.

Chap on R4 yesterday reckoned that over £10bn tax is lost through tax avoidance schemes each year.

Nah - Pap's in the south.

I was under the impression that you had started expanding the scope of a thread about the alleged design flaws of the Astute class to include other RN sub classes - Trafalgar, Vanguard, and Upholder. I simply extrapolated the timeline.

If you go back far enough you'll find the WW1 K class, which took over 5 minutes to dive, ( as the funnels had to be lowered and the boilers damped down ), and in their entire war service sank no enemy ships, yet cost the lives of several hundred crewmen. http://brisray.com/misc/mkclass1.htm

Why set the bar so high ? Is it that an organisation whose 'Head of State', ordained by God, is Queen Elizabeth II, is at heart still holding the female gender responsible for 'original sin' ?

Despite getting a majority vote in all 3 houses - go figure.

But is this the case because it is a military tribunal rather than a civilian one ?

Here he is arriving :

Just listened on I-Player to an adaptation of 'On the Beach' by Nevil Shute. Very poignant, and the end of the world kicks off with war in the Middle East :-(

What right do a load of Germans, Hungarians, and Russians have to land that has been settled by the Palestinians for hundreds, if not thousands, of years ?

The best way to avoid an argument is to not go looking for one.

Alan Hansen : "Southampton were absolutely brilliant".

I know it's pedantic but that's twice I've tried to make the same points. Again, if you read the BBC story from earlier this week it states that the 1993 proposal for a 2-state solution in the West Bank is what the Israelis are currently wanting to put back on the table in exchange for the Palestinians withdrawing their application for 'non-member' status at the UN. The image I cut and pasted was directly from the BBC news report.

There you go again : Point 1 : an allusion to a possible historical perspective, harking back to possible Israeli motives for their 'aggression' towards their neighbours. A point discussed by several posters on this thread. Point 2: A query regarding CURRENT israeli political motives, potential aggressive acts to interfere directly in the government of a neighbour, and the viabiity of what the Israelis are CURRENTLY proposing as a 2-state solution. ( I get the feeling I'm beginning to repeat myself ).
