Guided Missile

Interesting post match reaction from Huddlestone:

Is this the story, Jimi?

"It's been a rough year for the musician, but at least he has his millions of dollars to ease the pain. 50-year-old Jarvis Cocker has taken the No. 1 spot on People With Money’s top 10 highest-paid musicians for 2013 with an estimated $75 million in combined earnings." Joe Cocker....you have to laugh....

Joe Cocker has a net worth of $60 million...

New Maddie Suspect: Amazing twist in investigation as cops hunt for suspect with a grudge The News of the World Lucy Panton, Crime editor 30 September 2007 * Sacked worker in 'revenge plot' * Anonymous tip to Prince Charles BRITISH cops launched an urgent hunt for a new suspect in the Maddie McCann case-after an astonishing tip-off from the PRINCE OF WALES. An anonymous email sent to the prince's official website insists three-year old Madeleine was kidnapped from the Mark Warner Ocean Club holiday resort in Portugal by a disgruntled ex-employee. The informant named a maid who was sacked from the apartment complex in Praia da Luz and claimed she snatched the child in a crazed revenge plot. British police are now liaising with Portuguese detectives over the dramatic new twist which is revealed 150 days after Maddie vanished.

You were right. It's f*** ing brilliant:

Tens of thousands....

Watch this while I get back to running a business and try not to dribble too much...

Rather than Colonel Blimp, I come from the school of philosophy that asks the question, "If You're so F***ing Smart, Why Aren't You Rich?". Well, I happen to be rich and I'm guessing from your deep concerns that someone's getting rich from your bank account, that you're not. So, excuse me if I don't rush out and buy any of the reading material that feed your envy. They have obviously landed you in a bitter place of lower middle class poverty that is somewhere I don't want to visit...

I'm assuming you don't expect to get rich through the next couple of years...

The thing is, there's was a fag paper of width between what cuts the Labour party would have made and that which the coalition have made after the banking collapse and any shade of government would have fed money into an economy starved of it. If you can haul your sorry, left-wing, blinkered arse out of the hole you and your brethren dug yourself by not working harder at school, you may be able to see that the current news regarding the economy is rather good for everyone. You will also see that the latest figures from HM Revenue and Customs show those earning £160,000-a-year – putting them in the top one per cent – will pay 29.8 per cent of all income tax. It has risen sharply in the last decade. In 2003 the same group accounted for just 20 per cent of the total income tax raised. You will also see that in France, where, you may have realised, there is a Socialist government, the economy is going down the drain and one out of four French university graduates wants to emigrate, rising to 80 per cent or 90 per cent in the case of marketable degrees. Thank God for Jim Ratcliffe, who worked very hard at school, lives locally and killed the Unite union, another bunch of 70's dinosaurs you must really love. The fact is, the left wing has committed suicide in this country. Thank God it wasn't a suicide bomb that might have taken a lot of hard working taxpayers with it...

One day, when the truth is known, you will stand back and realise how unlikely the abduction story of the child was and easy it will be to understand why this scenario has been peddled by so many people from the instant the child went missing. Personally, I don't think the abduction scenario will ever be proven and we will be left with suspicion, innuendo and no guilty party, which will suit a number of people.

So, no reason for the McCanns via their lawyers to suppress the e-fit Mr. Smith constructed 5 years ago, then.

Today's Times comments on the subject: Can anyone explain why the lawyers of Gerry and Kate McCann required that a report, which included an e-fit of a potential suspect in the abduction of their daughter, should remain confidential....?

Ignoring the usual nutters, conspiracy theorists and Met police desperate to appease David Cameron, by trying to solve a hopelessly out of date crime, I prefer to believe the Portuguese police conclusion, i.e. There was/is absolutely no evidence of an abduction, Madeleine probably died in the apartment and the parents were involved. Their conclusion is obviously not supported by enough evidence to support a conviction, or indeed the committing of a particularly serious crime. Why would the Portuguese spend the millions required to try and achieve a conviction, with the McCann's fighting such an attempt, every step of the way from extradition, to a probable very expensive acquittal, of a crime of concealing a body? I think it is significant that no-one in the Portuguese media has been prepared to air the recent e-fit in that country. They have also reached the conclusion, I have. Sometimes, crimes are not solved to level required for a prosecution. It is why Savile got away with it for years. As I said, I think the Portuguese are spot-on. The Met should spend money on serious crimes they have a chance of solving, not grandstanding in the media, while getting a tan at our expense.

I made a mistake calling you a clueless windbag. I cannot read you posts now, without thinking of a relentless ***********... Don't blame me, it's the Kraken's fault...

If Wes continues to **** me off, I am still able to resort to: The man's an absolute (rotter, scoundrel, stinker, louse, cad, swine, bounder, blighter, cur, bad lot, blackguard, scrote)* ! *delete as appropriate All similarly underused terms....

It was "clueless windbag", TBF...

Thanks for yet again exposing what a clueless windbag you are and in particular doing it in writing. I think what you are suggesting is that you were right about your managerial hero Adkins (ex-goalkeeper forTranmere Rovers,Wigan Athletic and Bangor City) being sacked and being replaced by a "relative nobody" Mauricio Pochettino (ex-Espanyol, Paris Saint-Germain and Bordeaux player, who represented Argentina for four years playing in the 1999 Copa Américaand the 2002 World Cup) and I was wrong. Since you gave Adkins your internet blow-job, he has taken Reading down into the Championship and they sit barely in the playoff positions on goal difference. Meanwhile we are in a European place. "I mourn the brutal ending of that dream...."

Time for another trip down memory lane, Wes: "I mourn the brutal ending of that dream...." I think this calls for another boycott, Wes...

...and....

Ahem...

This thread demonstrates the m​ost destructive traits commonly found within environmentalism: alarmism, technophobia, failure to consider the costs and benefits of alternatives, and the discounting of human well-being around the world. DDT, GM crops, fracking, fossil fuels.... "Silent Spring" kicked of half a century of junk science for the lazy, ill-informed, well-meaning liberal activists, a tiny minority intent on imposing their misguided views on the rest of the world.

In 1894 the Times of London predicted that by 1950 every street in London would be buried under nine feet of manure. In New York it was estimated that manure would reach a depth of three stories by 1930.

As Oscar Wilde said, I would continue this battle of wits, but I hate to fight an unarmed man. "Bathymetry"...."correction equations"....hilarious. Now, you must let me get back to "non-reactive mixing together of powders, produced by others...."
