Right so - I did wonder. But then I thought that in terms of damage limitation - if I responded by making light of it and with a smiley, and you were being serious, it'd be a lot worse than if I played it safe..!

Pardew doing self imposed penance for swearing at Pelligrini - helping out boys clubs in the city somehow apparently: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/teams/newcastle-united/10580659/Newcastle-United-manager-Alan-Pardew-to-serve-self-imposed-community-service-for-foul-mouthed-tirade.html

I don't know if this is still accurate, but if you actually own it and then go on to download the movie on BitTorrent or something like that, it is (or was) legal. So you could just do that - would only take 5/10 mins.

I did wonder at that actually. Ok seriously, are you fucking with me or have I somehow managed to imply something like that in my post? If that's what has come across I think I'll simply never, ever talk about this particular topic again, apparently I can't be trusted with words. Can't believe I'm a racist, I never saw that coming.

?? Is this serious ?? Can someone explain this to me...

That was elaborate.

Only familiar with the business school but it had parking and good access conditions. Might be worth calling ahead? I'm certain there'll be parking wherever it is though.

CT's avatar is disturbing Its 'come hither' look most perturbing My eyes it is soiling My body's recoiling It needs immediate purging

I don't get it, why did CT just requote what Tom posted? This isn't twitter dammit!

I just wonder if it feels like that's the case for us simply because we're white though (If you are - apologies if you aren't, I speak mostly for myself). For instance, just because we believe that racial equality exists, doesn't mean that black people do based on their daily experiences and what they see around them. I recall reading concerns about the low numbers of black managers in the past, and it seems to me that perhaps having very visible black managers is a help to people. Also, I find it hard to believe he was hired just for that - no well run business would hire someone that important due to positive discrimination alone. EDIT - with that said, I'd certainly get rid of him now. Apparently ditched Blackpool's training today to sell off his son...

Something about a fella named Tarquin, something 'towering' and then what sounds like some kind of S&M session to me.

True on both counts. But his involvement demonstrates that discrimination (if it exists) is not insurmountable, and he may therefore be an encouragement to others.

The argument against speed cameras etc for me always seems to come back to this principle that they're using it as an additional tax. And tbh, maybe there's some truth in that - if everyone really wants to reduce speeding though (and fwiw I agree motorway speeding is a bit irrelevant) then they should use the cameras but give the proceeds to cover hospital costs for those hit by careless drivers or something like that (you get the idea), minus the money needed to keep maintain the equipment. Then no one could argue about it from the money point of view - which is a bit of a red herring on both sides now anyway.

Colo in there Also the David Luiz one gets me for some reason - just looks a right shifty bastard after being Hodged.

Wonder if he'll drop off the map a bit like Hargreaves did...? Surely a conflict of interest for Blackpool anyway, that their manager is seeking to sell off the prize asset for fuck all. He's a shocking manager tbf, much as I think his involvement is good for the game. Just wish he was a bit better at it.

It's also self defeating. Why inform people of this if you don't care what they think?

I love the new title to this We're fucked for certain now, however.

... Did I say something off colour? I meant that affectionately believe it or not.

If that's not this country summed up in one sentence, I don't know what is!

Yeah I can't quite square why the club champions this for us but I guess it's something we should take at face value really.

Ahhhh That's pretty funny

Fortunately Norwich lost. With barely any away fans making the trip, fittingly.

I thought you were a believer in aimaad starting these anyway?

I remember when I was studying in China we had a Japanese contingent studying in the same school; One of the American guys there took one of the girls back to his room after a party. It emerged the following day that she'd tried to stick her hand up his arse and he was so terrified that he fled into the corridor. Apparently Japanese girls think Western men are into that stuff. Beware more than just pixels. Sounds promising, I'd definitely go travelling then. Frankly, who knows if another chance will ever present itself. And the timing is perfect for the WC.

Also buliding on that - saw Gemmil's post. He's right depending on the kind of person you are. If you think you're a 'more often than not landing on your feet' kinda guy, then travel. If you're not, then don't. Ultimately I don't think you'd ever regret using it to do something cool, and you might regret not doing so.
