Rainforests have not been "trashed" to use your scientific term. The rate of deforestation is lower now than it has been for a long time and much of the deforestation in the world is down to the use of the land for pasture and growing soy beans for, you've guessed it, biofuels (Soy production has already destroyed 21 million hectares of forest in Brazil). I can understand someone being concerned that deforestation may reduce biodiversity, but to suggest that replacing forests with other crops may affect global CO2 levels and thus our climate, by any meaningful measure is absurd. Still, I think it is time for me to leave this playpen. The level of informed debate by the posters responding to me, has reached an intellectual level I'm finding hard to stoop to. Just plain lazy, uninformed and ignorant responses based on superstitious scare stories ...

Obvious? Seriously??? You don't even understand the definition of biomass and confuse the term with rainforests.

Enlighten me on the link then, Sherlock. I would say there is no link between the two whatsoever. De-forestation is caused by chain saws and plants need CO2 to grow. Actually, I'm going to start a new theory you lot will love. Obesity levels have only started increasing since CO2 levels started increasing. Reduce CO2 levels and we'll cure obesity... I'm a genius, I must admit...

You and View From The Top should keep posting and I'm sure you'll soon get a PM from a couple of villages that are short of an idiot.

Read badgerx16's post again. The contention in the post was that deforestation is part of the theory of Anthropogenic Global Warming. I don't know what your point was, apart from the contention that I am dumb...

You could always increase the health of the rainforests by increasing the level of CO2 in the atmosphere. Oh, hang-on, you want to remove it.... Brilliant...

Ohhh, I see, some Chinese nerd researcher, relying on funding for his computer modelling, has taken time off from his X Box, to postulate that it is the wind, that is causing the abnormally high extent of the ice cap, in the middle of summer, in Antartica. Pity him and the other experts on Climate Science didn't let the captain of the Russian icebreaker trapped for the foreseeable future, know about the problems before they set sail 5 weeks ago. Really, that paper is a scientific joke, full of b0ll0x. I've underlined the b0ll0x, so you can recognise it in the future: The best quote is from the mental case who got everyone to pay for the voyage. Or it could be that your outlandish theory is wrong, mate and man is having little or no effect on the extent of the polar ice caps...

The voice of reason from down under...

Meanwhile, in the Antarctic.... Thank God they have been saved by a helicopter and fossil fuel.... What a bunch of crackpots.

You're right...

Welcomed with open arms....

Any excuse:

Legg wasn't the only one...

You were also spot on when Cortese got rid of Adkins.... Being rounded on by you and the rest of the village idiots on Saintsforever was like being savaged by dead sheep, as they say. Then you all got together and commissioned this: It is not often I'm lost for words, etc., etc......

Take it from me, Cardington House is going the same way as every other enterprise Wilde has been involved in. As you are so keen to know what he is up to, check him out on LinkedIn here. Personally, I wouldn't touch him with a barge pole....nor would any other business man in this city, from what I've heard.

You obviously didn't read the Pompey fan's contribution here. I'm a lot better looking than him, as well. Must be the lack of inbreeding...

This is my only remaining link to that great site. I only saved the odd thread from Saintsforever, in order to expose the low IQ of the average football supporter, but nowadays Wes Tender is able to do that, without any help from me...

Here's something concrete, Wes, as further proof of how clever I am. Michael Wilde currently runs a small hotel in Jersey called Cardington House. I came across a recent review of the place, indicating that he has lost none of his management skills.

When one is threatened with legal action...

A final PM exchange with Keith:

Saintlee, Lee Hoos, Keith...... Like I said, suckers...

Reading this thread takes me back a few years: Infinity Homes Limited went into administration in 2008 followed in April, 2009, by Southampton FC. I kept a copy of the thread and there are some gems from posters still on here. Suckers...

It was turned into a rest home by the council, then closed and the land sold off for houses. Anyone who remembers Birch Lawn might remember sitting here: As far as "Sholing" FC, their history alluded to by the OP is as follows: In 1886, Woolston Works entered the South Hants & Dorset Senior Cup, defeating the Portsmouth Sunflowers 6–1 in the First Round on 9 October 1886. The Sunflowers were run by Canon Norman Pares, who had played for the Old Etonians when they won the 1879 FA Cup Final. The Works team progressed to the final where they defeated Wimborne Town with a single goal. The umpire for the final was M. P. Betts who won the very first FA Cup Final with the Wanderers in 1872. Woolston Works also reached the final of the Portsmouth & District Cup in 1887, where they lost 2–0 to Portsmouth A.F.C. (not connected with the present-day Portsmouth Football Club). Playing in goal for the Portsmouth side was "A. C. Smith", a pseudonym for Dr. Arthur Conan Doyle. In 1887, the club became joint tenants with the Pirates Rugby Club of the Antelope Ground. The Antelope Ground, which stood on the east side of St Mary's Road between Brinton's Terrace and Clovelly Road, had previously been used by Hampshire County Cricket Club until they moved to the County Ground in Northlands Road in 1885. In the same year, the club entered the inaugural Hampshire Senior Cup (whereas St. Mary's Y.M.A. entered the Junior Cup); in the final, they defeated Winchester by two goals to nil to claim the trophy. With St. Mary's winning the Junior Cup, the two clubs decided that they should compete to decide which was Southampton's top club. The match was played at the Antelope Ground on 14 April 1888 and the home side were victorious by three goals to nil; the Bournemouth Guardian report on the match summed up the clubs' season: Both teams have had a wonderfully good time of it on the whole and the people of Southampton ought to feel proud of their football population. In 1888–89, Woolston Works continued to occupy the Antelope Ground, sharing this with the Trojans Rugby Club. reached the final of the Hampshire Senior Cup, where they lost to a team from the Royal Engineers based at Aldershot, By now, Oswald, Mordaunt & Co. were in financial trouble as a result of which many of their better footballers had returned to their native north-east and Scotland, causing the works to put out a weakened team for the final. The Woolston shipyard was closed in April 1889 and Oswald, Mordaunt & Co. was wound up, resulting in the disbanding of the football team. Later teams During the First World War, a team from the works, now owned by John I. Thornycroft & Company was formed, known as Thornycrofts (Woolston) F.C. They survived until 1926 and reached the First Round Proper of the F.A. Cup in 1919–20 where they took Burnley of the Football League First Division to a replay. In 1960, Vosper Thorneycroft F.C. was founded. They subsequently changed their name to VT F.C. and then to Sholing F.C. who now play in the Southern League Division One South & West. My personal recollection is that Vosper Thorneycroft FC were founded in 1960 and were a Woolston football club playing at the VT Sports ground in Netley. To claim a shared history with football clubs that were disbanded many years ago and played in a totally different location is a fabrication, designed to attract a broader fanbase. IMHO, the club should simply let the quality of their football build their fanbase and leave the contrived history bullsh!t to Pompey.
