Yep, maybe so. Don't see how that's the idealist's fault though. NuLabour's maybe. Not people who're voting Corbyn because they're sick of the same old shit.

Also possibly for stalking purposes.

Which country is that? Out of interest.

Being fair, no matter which way you colour it, it'll have been killed by non-well meaning right wingers. You can't blame idealists for wanting to make the system better. You can blame the people who vote Tory.

Fucking hell...

Is ohhh_yeah our official news source these days?

I very much suspect you're right. I guess if they do have mass walkouts, it might be painted as a crisis that only privatisation can solve.

He's majorly fucked up that whole thing. There's no winning scenario for the government now - the best hope they had was that he came to some kind of agreement with them, but now there's talk of full on walkouts even across emergency services. How in fuck the government thinks it's going to be able to stand up to people dying for Hunt's ego, I have no idea.

Yeah I'm looking forward to seeing him play. The longer he goes without playing, the more pointless bringing him here was.

Ah I guess if you're buying albums... I tend to buy single tracks for about £0.70p and think little of it. I suppose it all adds up. Google had a service not long ago (which they've since withdrawn, the bastards) where you paid £7/month and could stream youtube music videos on your phone with the screen off, and download them to play offline. They're still running it in the States but it fell foul of some kind of legal thing over here. If it comes back, I think that'd be a good proposition for people like you. Instead of paying £8.99 for an album, you would pay £7 for as many albums as you want each month. EDIT - That said, I assume that this is what Spotify does too. I've not used it but I'd guess the principle is the same.

My point was more that it's got to the point where illegally downloading music is more hassle compared to just grabbing it through Amazon. Prime has loads of free music for instance, most of what you want you don't even have to pay for anyway (technically). The ethics of the situation are entirely up to the individual, but I wouldn't judge anyone for illegally downloading.

Fuck it, forget I said anything.

There's always one...

I seem to recall that the problem with streaming from a prosecutor's point of view is that if everyone is using WiFi then it's really difficult for them to prove that it was your device that accessed the content, and not say, Joe Bloggs in the street just hijacking your connection. That seems to be the argument that people have put forward successfully in the past. That said, it's still better to have proxies in play. I think Netflix has done more to combat illegal streaming than prosecutions. If content was priced reasonably (Netflix) and not mentally (Sky, the Premier League) then they would face much less of this kind of issue. EDIT - the Music industry being a good example of this. Who illegally downloads music these days?

Presumably that's the kind of scenario where you can just update him at half three instead Doesn't sound like an insurmountable resource issue, that one.
-
He's clearly hurt that he doesn't have the unequivocal backing of his fans. Knacker that he is.

I...see... The religious bit makes more sense in terms of voter appeal. Still a rather bizarre election campaign in terms of the challengers. Does all this noise just mean it'll be Hillary in the end, or does Trump actually stand a chance?
-
Ah that explains it...
-
So Carson's appeal to voters is that he's nearly killed people in the past in a fit of psychotic rage? Wtf is going on in this election...
-
... Where is Parky anyway?
-
Should win, based on other performances this season. It'd be just like us. Even if we lose I expect it to be one of those 'good efforts' where we all end up rueing Mitro's finishing.

Steve McClaren sacked as Newcastle United 'Head Coach' (Manager)
Rayvin replied to Tooj's topic in Newcastle Forum
Horrifyingly, I find myself in agreement with CT. If he keeps us up, I think he should be given a run into next season. If it starts looking anything like this one though, I'd probably want rid of him. -
The fuck is going on in this thread
