Renton

I'd like her and Madge Bishop to have a lesbian lazarus storyline Now that would be instresting. 47380[/snapback]

Jesus Wept

To be honest I dont think you can honestly say what you'd be left with in that fixture if you removed the religious element. 47365[/snapback] St Mirren vs Partick probably.

Dunno, I can see limping off after 20 minutes and not play again for 6 weeks.... Hope you're right though.

Oh FFS, not another hamstring! :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :(

Probably. Interesting snippet. Sunderland's highest ever league win was against us when they beat us 9-1. Can't think of the exact year, but it was around 1900 I think. That same year Newcastle went on to win the league.

I don't know, I just know our lads were cheered by Mackems on their way back from London following our '32 FA Cup win so I assume it was at some train station that passed through. 47328[/snapback] Must be Durham. Mackems love to claim Durham belongs to them. Bullshit, its 50/50.

Bring back Helen Daniels!

Good post HTT, but since when has the east coast main line passed through Sunderland????

Presumably because they can't find the weapons.....

Newcastle airport aint much cop though tbh. Still at least Newcastle has a cinema. I always found it funny that Sunderland didnt have one til recently. How can any self respecting proclaimer of mackem civic standards have any come back from that?! 47280[/snapback] What's up with it like? In the past two years I have flown to Dublin, Tenerife, Nice, Milan, London, Paris, Berlin, Barcelona, Malaga and probably quite a few other places from it. Beats the hell out of travelling to Manchester, and it is on the Metro. And flights to New York are starting shortly I hear. Also delays are usually minmal because there is no congestion. Nice little airport tbh.

A lot of mackems have a genuine hatred for the city of Newcastle and their inhabitants per se, though.

Whitley Bay is though.

Cockney bastard. No, but in all seriousness, there is no fundamental difference between us and but for the grace of God any of us could have been born a mackem. However, there shit "city" (really a town) and football club, along with those hideous deck chair stripes, does make them a bit bitter, quite understandibly.

Agreed. Basically identical mate. 47256[/snapback] Who is this Choc Chip fellow and why does he not know they are a bunch of sad bitter bastards that are jealous as fuck because they were born on the wrong side of the Tyne?

Anybody would think it was the woman on trial here. Wierd.

I don't blame her for taking the money, it doesn't make her guilty. Neither does having an affair at the time (or having shifty eyes ). If her version of events is true, she's had to endure an awful event onl to be branded a murderer afterwards. 47236[/snapback] But shouldn't we hang her just in case?

Sorry Rob, I don't follow. People can always abuse evidence - any evidence, it doesn't lessen the power of DNA fingerprinting though.

Gayfest tbh.

See page 2! (but Renton wasn't happy with that reply! ) 47224[/snapback] I think you will find it was you that pulled me up on the term "exact science"; I was perfectly happy with the term beyond reasonable doubt. And molecular biology, of which DNA fingerprinting is part of, is certainly an exact science.

Absolutely non-existant - I'm a qualified engineer, I only turned to IT after I left university and decided engineering wasn't for me... Anyway, back to DNA, I got a response from him.... 47218[/snapback] Basically what I said then? There are even more sensitive/specific tests, but even so, if you have a positive DNA match and the person had opportunity and motive, I think you can reasonably say that the evidence from this test would be damning. Unless, of course, there was contamination or the police planted it. That's the problem I would have.

Incredible. What a stupid law, can someone explain to me the justification for it? If he did it, he did it. Also, I don't understand how this tallies with the fact he has been arrested, or with Ronnie Biggs for that matter.

Surprised Rob hasn't posted this yet. Naturally, if it is him, I hope he gets life, although I'm not sure what the maximum sentence is for this type of thing.

Yep, my brother did his PhD in it! So your brother knows a fair bit about genetics then. You though... ? 47104[/snapback] I dunno what you crazy Aussies do with your siblings, but we do actually converse from time to time.... 47128[/snapback] About forensic pathology?
