True democracy is dead, in Europe. It has withered as a result of the declining standards of education your post demonstrates, that has led to a woefully uninformed electorate who think they are owed cheap credit, to buy sh !t they don't need, paid for by wages they don't earn. To top it all, they expect free healthcare, money when they are not working and a pension. No wonder China looks at the West and laughs.

Democracy doesn't work any more and the sooner people start realising this, the better. The reason it doesn't work is that too many voters failed to inform themselves about the issues that may lead them to vote in an educated manner, beyond the front page of the Sun. They are at the mercy of professional politicians who are better at pandering to the masses and employing public sector workers who will support their socialist dreams. Anyone with a brain cell can see that the burden these state workers, a result of a socialist democracy, have caused, is the breakdown of the economies of countries like Italy, Spain, Greece and Portugal. Their policies are now dictated by the unelected leaders in the EU, who have even, as is the case in Italy, replaced the whole government with unelected officials. What we need is representatives that are selected on the basis of their achievements in fields other than taking a political degree at Oxbridge or being a shop steward for Unite. We need successful businessmen, academics, sportsmen, doctors, etc. who have been recognised for their achievements, to represent us, in addition to the elected rabble who have f*** ed this country up since WWII. What we need is the House of Lords, just as it is now.

The Higg's boson explains why Alpine has such a large mass. I don't know about the Higg's bosun. He's probably a Pompey fan, anyway...

You obviously spent too much time reading the "Bible" and not enough reading "Origin of the Species". On second thoughts, don't bother. Alpine hasn't and his life is testament to the benefits of ignorance....

Leave it out. It's not like the c*** invented it...

I know what you mean. That Alexander Fleming....what a tool and don't get me started on f***ing Charles Darwin...

Proof of funds was required, not idle boasts by a bunch of dreamers, led by that well known Southampton administrator, Antony Fanshawe...

Right, I'm switching your webcam on until you apologise.

I have no problem with people expressing their emotions on this site, if it helps them with the pain of losing. Luckily, the opinions of Internet geeks who have never had the football talent, to be worthy of cleaning the boots of one of our academy players, are going to have absolutely no effect on our prospects of promotion. Very few of them are even going to be present, to cheer the team on, when they conclude one of the best seasons I can remember. Not that they'd cheer that much, if they could afford the air fare... I happen to love our club and if not this season, we will reach the promised land soon. It is meant to be...

We're still going up. Then this loss will be forgotten...

and.... I feel a "Reading Takeover Saga" thread coming up.....

I did, actually:

and....

Of course, I did keep the text of the Antonov story before the account was suspended:

I was looking at it Monday, Steve, particularly the Antonov assasination attempt and those allegedly responsible. Today? "This Account Has Been Suspended"

Right, I'm switching your webcam on until you apologise.

Wolves, Wimbledon, Man City and Watford have achieved successive promotions.

I was told that an offer of around £2.5M was going to be made last week by Charles Lissack, the ex-Watford director, who is heading a consortium. As they were introduced to the "investment opportunity" by our old friend Tony Lynam, I don't think Pompey posters should get too excited....

It's fun to watch the vultures feasting on the rotting corpse.

In order to offer shares to the general public, a company must be a public limited company (plc). The key requirements are that the company’s name and memorandum should state that it is a plc, and that it should have an issued share capital of at least £50,000 sterling or its euro equivalent. If a plc wants to offer shares to the public, it must generally issue a prospectus meeting detailed legal requirements, and will also need to comply with the requirements of any exchange on which the shares are to be traded. The company will need to appoint advisers to handle this complex process.

Why, indeed...

It's not Brian Howe...
