  1. Sometimes people mistake views for feelings. Some of the pro-Europeans aren't really sure whether or not it would be financially beneficial to be in the Euro. But they feel an intense love for Europe, and follow that love. By the same token, some of the anti-Europeans, are also unsure whether staying out of the EU is financially beneficial. But they are very patriotic about England, and want England to decide its own destiny. I am very much pro-Europe, and even though I believe that a debt is a debt, and they can be incurred with sterling as well as with the Euro, and paying the debt back will be painful no matter what currency we have, I still will always vote for the EU, for the simple reason that I feel so very pro-European. I would like to have a referendum on whether Britain should stay in or leave the EU. People may well vote to leave, but even so, I would like to see a referendum. Democracy is always the best.
  2. Well, it wasn't me who drove him out. Correct Nick. It was his racist abuse of NUFC players, threats to rape people, etc wot did it M'lud. Strange. I haven't found anything like that among his posts. Can you provide some examples?
  3. You should've just fucked off or called whoever abused you first. Or you could just stick around and toughen up a bit and you could end up better for it. Never take anything from somewhere like this too seriously, paul. You're in big trouble as a person if you do. is that all you lot do on here is fucking insult people its a shambles It is utterly boring reading all the stupid, knuckle-draggin insults (and the worst of it is that as soon as you insult them back they go boo-hoo, he said something nasty). I intend to continue posting my opinions peacefully. And if the nuggets who can't stand people disagreeing with them don't like it they can eat cake.
  4. I've got one question which I'm going to ask twice to Conservatives, but others may also answer it (them). 1. WHat is the state of the British economy? (after Gordon Brown's premiership) 2. What is the state of the British economy? (Britain being outside the Eurozone, unlike Greece) (I get the impression that those 2 backgrounds, tend to drastically affect the answer to the question. esp. by Conservatives)
  5. If what you're saying is that Ameobi is more skillful than Best, then you really are having a laugh.
  6. You need to find one of Shakespeare's more violent lines, like 'Out vile jelly' when someone pokes someone else's eye out, in King Lear.
  7. I think Jimmy McGovern is the modern Shakespeare. He writes very strong dramas, like the film 'Priest' and the drama series 'Cracker'. Below you'll find one of my favourite scenes, written by Jimmy McGovern. The main character has gambled away a lot of money, and doesn't know how to explain it to his wife. He decides to get his nose broken, so that he can tell her he was mugged. This is how he does it (go to 6.30 to 7.40) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0mNdfIYnIh0...feature=related Is this not one of the greatest pieces of dialogue ever written...?
  8. Or maybe, the optimists view that fact that we were 1 minute away from finishing 9th this season, as the perfect answer from the club to its critics (including critics among its fans), 2 years after we were being held up as a circus. And doing it on a budget too. Isn't that possible? And we were just one game from being league champions once, what ifs don't count as results or success. We also won the league 4 times. Times change, Man City, Man United and Chelsea have become insurmountable since then, and we wouldn't have been able to compete with them at all then, even if the club had been as irresponsible with money, as it was then.
  9. I'm usually reading about half a dozen books at the same time. At the moment: Fiction: Preben Mørkbak: Eirik Raude (Eric the Red) It's a novel about Eric the Red (who discovered Greenland in the 10th century) and his son, Leif Eriksson, who discovered Canada in the early 11th century. I'm reading it in Norwegian, translated from Danish, although written Danish is very close to written Norwegian. Excellent. Henryk Sienkiewicz: Krzyzacy (The Knights of the Teutonic Order) It's about the Poles and the war against the Germans in the early 15th century. I'm reading it in the original Polish, and it's very difficult for me to understand. But I love the works of this writer, which I've written in English, and I'm very interested in Polish history. William Shakespeare Hamlet. I'm reading it in Polish. It's excellent, and I've read it so many times that I understand much of it. Hamlet is a tragic character, tormented by the burden on his chest. Excellent. Henryk Sienkiewicz Potop (The Deluge). It's 1656, and the Swedes have conquered the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. Then they try to loot a Monastarty in Clear Hill, Czestochova. This is to push the Poles too far. I'm reading the English translation from Polish. Excellent. P. G. Wodehouse Cocktail Time. Very funny book about a barrister who is provoked into writing a novel. Excellent. Non-fiction: Pawel Jasienica Polska Piastow. A history book about Poland under the Piast Dynasty, who ruled Poland from 966 to 1350-something. I understand bits here and there. I don't agree with Sweetleftpeg. You can enjoy War and Peace without background knowledge. I read it twice, and it is quality. I learnt so much about the Napoleonic War with Russia.
  10. Or maybe, the optimists view that fact that we were 1 minute away from finishing 9th this season, as the perfect answer from the club to its critics (including critics among its fans), 2 years after we were being held up as a circus. And doing it on a budget too. Isn't that possible?
  11. No - he's more like Jeeves. Not afraid to comment if my choice of tie troubles him.
  12. Is he? Well, well done him? Got a job earning 3 pounds an hour playing football??? Excellent Plenty of young men play it for love.
  13. Leon Best came back in January - he proved a lot of people wrong, and they shut up. Then he got injured, and after a few months, people began to forget about how excellent he'd been, and then the same people who seemed intent on putting him down, crawled back out of the woodwork. Oh well, he'll just have to come back and prove them wrong a second time.
  14. Is that a joke? Yes. Well, I know now to put things like this in this other games thread. But it certainly isn't obvious to a new-comer. Is that other games as in other matches, or other games as in other sports. (after all, it's the same sport, and Copa America is the same sport and the same gender). Other matches? Hmmm. Football threads aren't always about matches, are they? I'm not trying to be arrogant, but it's either that or be long-winded
  15. The Copa America is getting very exciting. Brazil and Argentina knocked out. Peru, Uruguay and Paraguay in the semi's. We await the result of Venezuela vs Chile. I predict that a Spanish-speaking country will win it.
  16. Not at all. I'll credit you with more intelligence than that. Everyone knows that people say 'all he has done is...' without meaning literally that someone has only ever done one thing. Ashley has downpaid the 57 mill which was outstanding on the stadium too, for one thing.
  17. Mike Ashley has saved us from going under. I edited it, because I wanted people to devote their attention to the point I was making. Not because I don't think he save us, because he certainly did.
  18. I believe we can conclude that he hasn't made any money out of Newcastle United.
  19. World Champions!!! They do football proud with their excellent skills.
