CARROLL! geddin.

you've not been here long enough to know that's a fantastic response mate.

Bill Hicks or Dennis O'Leary? what happened to O'Leary?....drink or drugs? terrible case of plagiarism.

Sting, wasn't it?

"Here's another idea that should be punctured, the idea that childbirth is a miracle. I don't know who started this rumor but it's not a miracle. No more a miracle than eating food and a turd coming out of your butt. It's a chemical reaction and a biological reaction. You want to know a miracle? A miracle is raising a kid that doesn't talk in a fucking movie theater . . . I'll go you one further, and this is the routine that has virtually ended my career in America. If you have children here tonight—and I assume some of you do—I am sorry to tell you this. They are not special. I'll let that sink in. Don't get me wrong, folks. I know you think they're special. You think that. I'm telling you—they're not. Did you know that every time a guy comes, he comes 200 million sperm? Did you know that? And you mean to tell me you think your child is special? Because one out of 200 million sperm connected . . . that load? Gee, what are the fucking odds? Do you know what that means? I have wiped entire civilizations off of my chest, with a grey gym sock. That is special. Entire nations have flaked and crusted in the hair around my navel. That is special. And I want you to think about that, you two-egg-carrying beings out there with that holier-than-thou, we-have-the-gift-of-life attitude. I have tossed universes, in my underpants, while napping. That is special."

1 February 2010 - Press Release - Cash Rewards for Low Carbon Electricity and Heating * Feed-in tariff for small scale low carbon electricity finalised for 1 April introduction * Power from solar panel could earn £900, on top of £140 reduction on household energy bill * Blueprint published for world first incentive scheme for renewable heat * Tariff levels index linked * Micro combined heat and power piloted in the scheme to kickstart the industry in the UK Households and communities who install generating technologies such as small wind turbines and solar panels will from April be entitled to claim payments for the low carbon electricity they produce. Energy and Climate Change Secretary Ed Miliband today announced the feed-in tariff (FITs) levels and also published a blueprint for a similar scheme to be introduced in April 2011 to incentivise low carbon heating technologies. The renewable heat incentive (RHI) will be a world first. The schemes are designed to bring about a significant increase in the amount of locally produced green energy, as a contribution to the wider shift of the energy mix to low carbon. Ed Miliband said: “The guarantee of getting an income on top of saving on energy bills will be an incentive to householders and communities wanting to make the move to low carbon living. “The feed-in tariff will change the way householders and communities think about their future energy needs, making the payback for investment far shorter than in the past. “It will also change the outlook for a range of industries, in particular those in the business of producing and installing small scale low carbon technology.” From 1 April householders and communities who install low carbon electricity technology such as solar photovoltaic (pv) panels and wind turbines up to 5 megawatts will be paid for the electricity they generate, even if they use it themselves. The level of payment depends on the technology and is linked to inflation. They will get a further payment for any electricity they feed into the grid. These payments will be in addition to benefiting from reduced bills as they reduce the need to buy electricity. The scheme will also apply to installations commissioned since July 2009 when the policy was announced. A typical 2.5kW well sited solar pv installation could offer a homeowner a reward of up to £900 and save them £140 a year on their electricity bill. Mr Miliband was speaking as he visited low income homes in Dagenham being helped by eaga’s Clean Energy for Social Housing project to make the move to microgeneration. The scheme offers free clean energy technology to tenants in social housing which will lower their electricity bills and carbon emissions. John Swinney, eaga Director of Strategy and Corporate Services, said: “By utilising the feed-in tariff initiative and installing free solar technology this programme can cut energy bills for those most in need. We are also recruiting and training renewable energy engineers directly from the local communities where the green technology is being installed. “This innovative development can be offered right across the UK. We expect thousands of households to benefit in the first few years and up to 300 additional green energy jobs could be created as part of this programme.” The Department of Energy and Climate Change also published today plans for a scheme to incentivise renewable heat generation at all scales. This will come into effect in April 2011 and guarantee payments for those who install technologies such as ground source heat pumps, biomass boilers and air source heat pumps. Under the proposed tariffs the installation of a ground source heat pump in an average semi-detached house with adequate insulation levels could be rewarded with £1,000 a year and lead to savings of £200 per year if used instead of heating oil. The heat incentive could help thousands of consumers who are off the gas network lower their fuel bills and gain a cash reward for greening their heating supply. Details of funding for the scheme will be published in the Budget 2010. http://www.decc.gov.uk/en/content/cms/news...0/pn10_010.aspx

The exchange rate currently makes Australia insanely expensive. Mexico, Central and South America; particularly Bolivia and Peru, are lovely cheap places with good food, nice people, amazing scenery and fascinating culture. Although I love the place, the S-E-Asia backpacker circuit was really grinding my gears last time I was there. Avoid Lonely Planet if you have the stomach for it. New Zealand is absolutely incredible but fecking miles away. Oh yeah, India. It's like you are permanently on LSD and so is everyone else. Japan is similarly mental but the madness has structure. If it was me I would get a one year round the world ticket, spending longer in the cheaper countries and ideally working in Oz for 3 or so months.

It's not really that far down the 184&19

I'm in Liverpool next two nights On the pendolino now first class free food and beer

8 clubs at 25, no smoke without fire. Alcoholic is my guess. In fact, he looks pissed in that photo. Still numbers in and we need pace. Is he the sweetener before we sell Nolan?

I got you babe.

the play offs will be fun lads, trip to wembley man!

Lech Pils. Salty.

I can't grow a beard, not even a fucking goatie. Soft as a bairn's arse, my face. Saves me a fortune on shaving gear and time tbh.

might as well change your name .cock http://www.ukdps.co.uk/

Good post CID, thank you. Is the Gary Mckinnon story commonly known over there?

I understand the point and acknowledge the employment situation there is bad and greed is good and the place is built on the rights of the individual to have a gun and get rich. This approach seems to pretty much dominate government thinking. My semi rhetorical question then, is do americans not baulk at around 40% of their taxes being spent on 'defence'? Their government saying, 'Look. you can have guns, hell, shoot the shit out of eachother if you want, but obviously we are going to have the most and biggest and best guns'. The iniquitousness cascades. Depressing.

we are currently a shit club tbh

The above is nothing to do with the masses. It's just the top 3% protecting what THEY have and looking for ways to get more of it. The masses are basically not in the game. THIS is CAPITALISM dear boy. Obviously, old fruit. What is interesting is how easlily the masses are manipulated against their own interests - they revolt at paying for healthcare but think the above is somehow acceptable.

The U.S. Department of Defense budget accounted in fiscal year 2010 for about 19% of the United States federal budgeted expenditures and 28% of estimated tax revenues. Including non-DOD expenditures, defense spending was approximately 25-29% of budgeted expenditures and 38-44% of estimated tax revenues. The 2009 U.S. military budget is almost as much as the rest of the world's defense spending combined We will defend our interests and our nation but the fat, poor, bovine masses can die in the streets. What is amazing is so many americans think this concept of looking after eachother is a bad idea and too expensive but wtf are they doing about the above?
