Yes, it IS snowing up here.

If a film depicts the hero drinking a Pepsi, without commenting on the Pepsi either way...it's an advert for Pepsi.

Having seen it, can you say where the film will confound my pre-conceived notions?

Alan Pardew - Poltroon sacked by a forrin team
Happy Face replied to Kid Dynamite's topic in Newcastle Forum
If anything Pardew has less control over the nationality of players in this league than he did when he said that.- 10610 replies

But I've read enough about the film to know I am right Perhaps I'll watch it and be surprised at what a damning indictment of torture it is. How wrong all the writers I respect most were. With those involved in prisoner abuse or turning a blind eye to it made to look particularly evil. I won't hold my breath.

I think the torturers are the good guys doing whatever it takes to get the bad guys. At the end of the film you are supposed to cheer because they got Bin Laden, irrespective of what went before, including torture. Is any action taken to discipline the torturers? Do they end up on war crimes charges? Or the people that authorised torture? Is there an epilogue where the victims of torture sue the US government and get compensation. Or are those involved in torture the heroes of the day and the victims an irrelevance? The fact that nothing whatsoever that led to Bin Ladens capture was gained from torture is (at best) immaterial to the film. Some would say the film suggests torture DID reveal what they were missing....falsely. Either way, it's seen as just another avenue that was taken when all options were explored, irrespective of criminality. There is no condemnation of that. It's all deemed acceptable. A CIA advert for war crimes, with close working relationships between the producers and the highest levels of intelligence, who reveled secrets with a higher level off classification than anything Bradley Manning revealed. He sits in a cell for years awaiting a trial followed by life imprisonment or death...they get Oscar nominations. I'll watch it soon. Got it in my film directory

What is it about the purchase of 3 defenders and the sale of our most prolific striker during this window that gives you this impression?- 10610 replies

The new defence from Bigelow is that she isn't saying they would not have found bin laden without torture. They didn't you silly bint. That's the problem with your "torture works" advert.

This elegant departure of his didn't quite work out did it.

Exactly. Before Bosman it was inconceivable that a top player could walk away from his club with no compensation paid in any circumstances.

Wonder if this could lead to owt significant. European courts & Bosman stylee. If i find a job I like better than my current one I give 4 weeks notice and I'm away. Irrespective of my employers wishes.

Have San Lorenzo got no international quality players that could come the other way? Their number 9 was on loan at Everton for a while I see, but only scored 1 in 20.

There's a fad for you that would be some use to us. Learn Spanish.

Wonder how this will affect my registered disabled mother who lives alone in the 3 bedroom family home and receives some assistance for the mortgage. I guess she'll be forced to sell her home of decades and move into a shitty one room bedsit. Lovely.

My lass said he's releasing summat with GZA. Is that the one? EDIT: Googled and realise she was initialising J(ay)-Z. Bloody women and their hip-hop deficiency.
