  8. Given the capacity of The Globe is a tad over 6000, as the Yanks would say 'go figure'. As for the Le Tiss evening, I work with the editor of their match day programme, and he says it was an excellent evening, and over £2000 was raised for charity by auctioning signed Premier League shirts.
  9. relations
  10. Multiculturism has not failed, but the press, especially the Heil, the Torygraph, and the Currant Bun like to tell you it has.
  11. Every week we fail to win 8-0 this board is plagued with the most miserable, pessimistic sods you could ever meet. IF we fail to make the play-offs as a minimum, IF we fail to win through to the final, and IF we don't make promotion after the last ball of the season has been kicked, then hold a post-mortem, but there are still 19 games to play. Chillax.
  12. There will be quite a few plastic mancs saying that this evening.
  13. Makes us as good as the Arse then.
  14. Posh put 5 past Sheff Wed at home, 4 past Hatlepool, 5 past Oldham, 4 past Huddersfield, and have now scored 45 at home in the league this season. It was never going to be 0-0. Cracking game, just fits the pattern of the day.
  15. I put in my postcode and got "Sorry, we couldn't find a policing area that matched your search." I know there are spending cuts, but getting rid of the entire Lancashire Constabulary !

  17. There is nothing in the Muslim religion that 'forces' women to wear the burka, the niqqab, or any other full covering garment. The vast majority restrict themselves to a headscarf. Wearing the full 'set' derives from tribal traditions far older than the religion that it is now seen to represent, and persists in areas where these historical opinions & beliefs still hold sway. Additionally, some Muslims have adopted such dress as a visible affirmation of their faith, perhaps as a self-assurance in a society where they feel pressured or 'under attack' from intolerance and bigotry. There is absolutely nothing sinister in it, nor is there in the traditional garb of Jewish Orthodoxy, or the Amish 'uniform' of braces and straw hats. I think that you can probably say of the Koran what is often said of the Bible : "It is for the guidance of wise men, and the obedience of fools".

  19. Not sure who 'Malatesta32' is, but I found this to be a good read : https://malatesta32.wordpress.com/2010/11/15/edl-mac-same-thing/ There are few other interesting snippets on there.
  20. http://www.thejc.com/news/uk-news/41040/jews-against-edl-launch-unity-voice The "Not in our name" group's founding pledge states: "The Jewish community has always been at the forefront of anti-fascism. From Cable Street to defeating the BNP at the ballot box, we have been unafraid to speak out against those who seek to spread fear and hatred in our communities. "Now our community faces a new threat. The EDL claims to be our allies in the fight against extremism. In reality, they are violent racists with BNP members and Nazi sympathisers among their ranks. "It is time for the Jewish community to come together as one to expose the EDL as the racist thugs they are."
  21. Obviously a well supported group, this is what it says at the bottom of their web forum : "Welcome to our newest member, ADMIN" LOL !
  22. There is only one opinion that matters in this transfer, and that is NA's. He thinks that Forte improves his squad, and based on that NC has backed his manager. That's good enough for me.
  23. Like all bad pennies.
