  1. It was possible and it was done, alongside covert operations. But the IRA were fighting a guerrilla war and that is the same problem we are facing we are facing with Islamic extremist groups.
  2. Now there's a guy who knows which side of his bread is buttered.
  3. kanga
  4. Ron has ruled himself out of the Netherlands job in the immediate future. "Not for now, not for next year, maybe in the future."
  5. It may be a silly hypothetical scenario to you but it sure as hell will not be for the next family who suffer a loss through terrorist action. As for my ineffective trade embargo idea, everything we have done so far has worked really well eh? You still have a very aggressive and confrontational posting style. Chill out FFS, it is just an internet chat forum.
  6. Vic is "mentally and physically" ready to be considered for game at #WBA on Saturday. RK
  7. In your opinion. He is prone to making basic mistakes that lead to goals.
  8. I went 18 years without sex. Any advance?
  9. Sepp Blatter?
  10. Some players are labelled harshly it is true. But Yoshida is a liability.
  11. I guess we can look forward to Harry Kane breaking the record in no time then.
  12. Nice bit of patronising. And you wonder why people have a go at Americans? It is all there, in that one reply. By the way, why do you use the name St George? You do know it is the patron saint of Limey's, right? Now if you will excuse me, I am just off to report my neighbour for dropping recyclable cardboard in his rubbish bin. Shame I am not in America, I could shoot him.
  13. Didn't know that. Are any of them getting money from the State through other sources? I assume Charlie still gets a wedge from the Duchy of Cornwall?
  14. Jimmy Greaves and Gary Lineker both scored their fair share of tap ins and we used to employ a certain Ted MacDougall who scored more than his fare share from a yard out. A goal is a goal. Rooney has also scored more than his fair share of spectacular goals. I cant believe some of the comments on here. He may not be a likeable character but it is some achievement to score 50 goals for your country. Only in this country do we knock success so much. As I said before, if he played for us would the thread be so churlish? Would you not want Wayne Rooney in your team?
  15. Liz has been a consummate pro, so fair play to her. As for the other hangers ons, who needs them? The Civil List should be limited to the Queen/King and their consorts and the rest should get proper jobs. Also I don't get the tourism bit. People come here because of The Queen? They do know that she doesn't greet them at Heathrow don't they? Buckingham Palace from the outside is one of the least impressive buildings of any capital city. Surely people come here for the history, not for a glimpse of an old biddy in a dodgy hat?
  16. I was looking forward to this when I saw them plug it on The One Show but was very disappointed with the programme. I liked the BBC2 thing too but other than that, they seem to have lost their mojo.
  17. Would this be the same Andros Townsend that they have been trying to ship out for the last year?
  18. Thank you for answering my questions. Let us just hope that if there are any reprisal attacks that no one we know is involved. It is interesting to note that you would accept the loss of your loved ones as a price to pay for the drone attacks. Re no 4. Ok so you think I am being naïve, but there have been plenty of examples of so called intransigent factions ending up coming to the negotiating table for any number of reasons. It has happened all the way through history. It is not impossible and I think you are naïve if you don't see that situations can change. Clearly it isn't going to happen any time soon but it doesn't mean it will never happen. And yes, it may mean that some of the main perpetrators have to be killed in the process, I get that. But your language (again you use the word "crush") shows that you believe that we can just take them all out in one swift action and that just isn't going to happen. There are too many of them spread too widely.
  19. No I don't, if it can be avoided. I wonder if Sainsburys will work a drone strike into their Christmas ad this year?
  20. A bit like if UKIP got into power?
  21. Before Ramsey did away with wingers Charlton was an "inside forward." We used to line up with 5 up front 3 in the middle and two at the back (full backs) and the forward line would have to make a W formations with the inside forwards slightly behind the Centre Forward and the two Wingers. Our PE teacher used to stop the game every few minutes to make sure we were all where we were supposed to be. The Centre Half was in the middle of the middle three. Oh how things have changed!
  22. I am not sure I want someone as King who said he wanted to be Camilla's tampon.
  23. cr*p
  24. Which was my point. War was declared in 1939. I have never condoned their behaviour.
  25. Would this be the same Rebecca Brooks who knew nothing about phone hacking yet was sleeping with someone who did?
