  1. I don't think I've ever read a more conceited sentence.
  2. Huge corporations in trying to make a profit shocker! This is no different to any other business except that people get much more emotive when it's about healthcare. It's an industry like any other. It's not. It saves lives. Time Warner just take your mind off all the death that surrounds you. The better argument would be that the huge profit is an excellent incentive to for companies to keep producing the next life saving drug. Lot's of things save lives, directly or indirectly, and many pharmaceutical products (e.g. Viagra, analgesics) have nothing to do with saving lives. If you're going to keep peddling this idea that pharmaceutical companies should be governed by different rules, please direct me to a system that works better for the patient interest. I think you have partly answered it yourself in the last line mind. You don't believe the health industry is any different to....say.....the porn industry?
  3. Irrelevant. Generics companies dont do research. Sorry, I thought Ewerk had referred to phama companies getting paid back for their research.

  5. I'd make the point that the public make a significant investment in the research that goes into those drugs too (£700M in tax credits per annum in the UK) but I'll get abused for it and reminded that they pay a LOT more taxes than they manage to get cut.
  6. Cutting off the nose to spite the face. An expression used to describe a needlessly self-destructive overreaction to a problem. "Don't cut off your nose to spite your face" is a warning not to act out of pique or pursue revenge in such a way as to damage yourself more than the object of your anger. "Don't be a patronising wanker"

  8. All this unconstructive pessimism makes me sad Would it be preferable to bring in O'Leary? Genuine question btw, what would you do if you were Llambas the llama farmer?
  9. We're keeping Joe Kinnear, so take off all your clothes I am get-ting so hot, I wanna take my clothes off
  10. Any specifics on where you think he lied btw? "I had just parked the car in a lay by to have a nap because tiredness kills"
  11. I'm a designer of the popular child support system.
  12. Not that I know of. Marnie Stern - This Is It and I Am It and You Are It and So Is That and He Is It and She Is It and It Is It and That Is That Damn good guitaring.....for a girl.
  13. "The club still owes millions of pounds in transfer fees. I shall be paying out many more millions over the coming year to pay for players bought by the club before I arrived." -Ashley, 14 September 2008 In January 2010 he'll be able to start paying a bit more towards new players.
  14. The leaders went for a meeting with the cockney mafia and never came home.
  15. Which of the players coming to the end of their contract would you offer a new deal? Difficult to say because I don't trust the current regime to bring in adequate replacements. Looking at the players who could go I don't think it would be that hard to replace most of them tbh. The only player I wouldn't want to lose is Owen but I don't think he's ever had any intention of sticking around longer than he has to anyway, the rest can be replaced easily enough even if it means promoting youth players to replace Harper, Edgar, Cacapa etc. Viduka, Owen and Ameobi walk and you think we have the youth to replace them? Martins and Duff first choice front line.
  16. The other being that he's probably dead. If he's died of Kidney failure it's not quite the act of martyrdom one expects of the most extreme extremist of our times.
  17. When Danny makes a prediction, you can pretty much bank on it.
  18. The Dodos - Ashley If only they were popular, we could have a new chant for our chairman. A-A-A-A-A-A-A-Aaaaaaaaaaashley
  19. Cheers mate!! Being a Spurs fan, you rated 100% of my personal cunt test, just like the majority of Spurs fans. Congratulations! Before I turn this into a personal vendetta, cheers for all the comments guys, again much appreciated. Hopefully it'll continue to grow and get better over the next few weeks so keep an eye out! He's got your number danny
  20. I think you get more if you stop up like. Plus your club retains its value.
