  1. I work in London, and have about 36 people working for me They are a mongrel collection of English (white black and asian) some southerners a couple of brummies a manc and a bloke from bristol. There are a couple of scots and an Irish bloke(not sure if he is from the republic or north or how long he has been in London) There are also a few europeans (lithuanians french some sort of slovak a couple of serbs a portugese and 2 from spain) an egyptian one half indian half portugese, a couple of kiwis and a srilankan. Of these half a dozen are muslim that I know of, I am aware they are muslims because they prefer not to handle alcohol, so we try to get other drivers to handle those deliveries. There may be other Muslims I dont know, we dont check religous affiliation on hiring. If I had had to guess which were Muslims I would probably have got two out of the six. The point I would make is my day to day interaction with theses people of various races, backgrounds religous taks place without any problems of racism non integration or religous mania, apart from one happy clappy christian who gets on my tits a bit. I have lived/worked in London for knocking on 30 years and on the whole I just dont recognise this urban dystopia that Stevie (for example) seems to find so terrifying. - Just working blokes trying to put food on the table for their families, or earn enough cash to go to the football or whatever. As for white males being repressed - I am white ,my office staff are white, my boss is white, the exec board the md and the ceo/chairman of my company ....yep all white (one woman in there mind) There are problems with the country certainly, religious extremists, dole wallahs, greedy exploitative bosses, corrupt businessmen, the banking cartel, and the ill directed bigotted anger of the ignorant. Fortunately I find that a lot of people that dont make as much noise are actually open minded inclusive and just want to work play and get on with their lives. I also think that on the whole the population has become more open, accepting of minorities ethnic and sexual, and will continue to do so. Almost makes me proud to be English
  2. Do they? Certain posts within this thread prove it. Jingoism iyam
  3. They have nothing to hide. Put your address up on the internet Rob. This bloke I know not a friend, more a friend of a friend, had chinkies and pizza's delivered and abusive phone calls all night last night as a result of this. It's a disgrace these people who stand for the same principles (on the face of it), I do, should be treat like this. If more people were like them, we'll never have a muslim government, as things stand, we will have, not today, not tomorrow, but it will happen. These muslim fanatics could now go to peoples houses and fuckin take liberties as well. Mmmmmmm pizza. Ill join up for free fast food
  4. No sympathy from me- If you are willing ti join the bnp you deserve everything you get. I think it is fantastic thaty this list is published and I wish shame and harrasment on anybody on it. The more people who lose their jobs the better
  5. Sacked for calling somebody a Nazi HaHa
  6. Looks interesting, I will try and give it a go.
  7. I'm still reeling from realising. Forty fuckin years. The family spongebob are in for a right boring time over the dinnertable tonight. I shall be regailing with tales of valour and misery all night long Peanuts hoyed out to you The supporters club opposite the Strawberry The 5 minute flag Floodlight pylons Saint James Wrestling Hall Football league supplement in programme Walls for bogs The Magpie club Lord Westwood Spike rawlings guesting at testimonials Trees by the Popular Jinky breaking that kids leg Supa Mac's goal versus Leicester Gordon Marshall swinging around the post and the ball going in Writing your name on the bog rolls Playing with the grit Come on you old bastard a few more obscure memeories,not just the famous ones Mental celebrations where you ended up 50 yards from where you were less than 20 seconds ago Bogrolls chucked on to the pitch when the teams ran out Sitting on barriers Keepers running up to the Gallowgate at the start of the game everyone clapping the keeper would clap back, and the whole would go AAAAAAAAAGHHHHHHHHHHHHH giving him wanker signs Sit down protests, when we were shite, everyone would go "sit down sit down sit down" to the tune of play up Pompey, fuck knows what that was going to achieve Norman in the corner on the barrier starting the songs so pissed every time he tried an Ossie Ardiles black n white army, it came out as Oheeee Aree ehh Aniiii aaeey Abusing police (every game) How man hey mans in the Gallowgate Keegans hotdogs with onions outside the Strawberry Sambrero's in the Gallowgate when Mirandinha signed and hats with 3/4 toon, 1/4 brazil, rangers or celtic on. Toon fans enthusiastically cheering Stimson getting sent off Paying 2 quid to get in and thinking it was expensive Having literally hundreds of jock toon fans when we had a big game, honestly we had loads When it was warm in August and the ground was full, like it was against Tottenham, genuinely they were the very very best of times, going to the match everyone expectant, you couldn't beat it. The average Newcastle fan then was fuckin brilliant, the best with no equal, Alan Hansen said as much in his autobiography, every fucka said it, even opposition fans respected us. The average Newcastle fan now is a cynical humourless boring cunt. Owld Tommy - little white bull Donno what you mean mate. Another thing was the bloke making Indian sounds in the East Stand, and something I used to like...The Corner used to go in the seats in the seats in the seats in the seats in the seats in the seats in the seats in the seats in the seats in the seats iiiiiiiin the seats, and about 50 0f them would stand up and go UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUNIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIITED UNIIIIIIIIIIITED UNIIIIIIIIIIITED, the corner would join in then the scoreboard then the whole ground. It's nice having little memories like that. Those were the days when different paddocks in the ground used to encourage the others to be vocal. Loads of "Sing in the corner", "sing in the scoreboard", "sing in the centre-west", "sing in the leazes", etc... There's no way we can't have that carrying on these days, but we don't... We should start abusing the Gallowgate more I think in Level 7. Get ye flasks out for the lads. Spongebob, what were you on about you didn't explain yourself at all? Owld Tommy? I remember him from away games now I come to think of it, early eighties . There would be a bit of "tommy "chant go up, and this old half mental threequarters pissed bloke would climb on a barrier and start singing "Once upon a time there was a little white bull" everybody LITTLE WHITE BULL and so on Still see tommy a lot. He was jailed after skirmish with Brum I think. Once there was a little white bull. Anywhere any ground Tommy would do it. West Ham Millwall Leeds the lot. He's a legend. So am I off the "doesnt supply obscure enough memories" shinton hit list then?
  8. I've been a life long sufferer of chronic eczema all my life, so have some experience about this. I've been admitted to hospital several times and I am currently on strong topical immunosuppressants, which work (and have trial evidence to prove this, of course). First of all I'm really glad your boy recovered early in his life and didn't suffer the pain I have had to live with. But what I have found out about eczema its a really strange, chronic relapsing illness. It can literally disappear over night for no apparent reason, only to rebound back years later, again for no apparent reason. I have just come from a period of it being clear for 6 years, only to be struck down yet again, when I thought I might have finally grown out of it. I'd suggest that the use of homeopathy in your son's case was a coincidence, as you've already alluded too. If nothing can convince you otherwise then that's your perogative. But ask yourself this. If it works, why has there been no high-quality trials to prove this? In fact, iirc, the first person that can show any difference at all between a homeopathic solution and distilled water will win a million pounds from James Randi. Secondly, why is homeopathy only ever of any use for self-limiting illnesses? At the end of the day I have no problem with people using whatever CAM they want, most will benefit to some extent from the placebo effect or simple regression to mean, and that can actually unburden the NHS. However, it should be treated like every other medical intervention; if you can't prove it works, then the NHS shouldn't pay for it. Serious question - Have you ever considered a homeopath? Just to pick one point out - the reason homeopathy hasnt had high quality trials to prove its usefulness is because the sort of trials you are talking about dont test how homeopathy works. You cant have a control group in homeopathy the whole point of it is treating the individual. I have no idea about homeopathic solutions- iirc the boy was given sulphur tablets. I dont know what a self limiting illness is so I cant answer that. I discount the placebo effect because he was too young to understand he was even being given anything. I cant disprove coincidence, but to my eyes it seemed a process took place over a number of visits that culminated in a excma free child. I completely agree that it shouldnt be anything to do with the NHS though Im not trying to convince anybody of anything tbh, I am just saying I went from a position of total cynicism to beleiving it worked for my son Homeopathy is an ideal intervention to perform a double blind, placebo controlled trial on as it happens. You simply let the homeopath do their stuff, then when the patient goes to recieve their 'prescription' they are given the genuine article or a sugar pill (placebo). The important point is neither the patient of the homeopath is aware who gets what. It's actually a lot easier to test than many other interventions such as acupuncture. I actually think your son benefitted from regression to mean, which is another way of saying he would have gotten better any way, which is typical in people with eczema, especially when they're young. But without a double blind RCT there is no way of knowing. I haven't tried homeopathy personally as I regard it as a waste of money and I would not benefit from the placebo effect, being a non-believer. Homeopaths have actually agreed with me that my scepticism would effect the efficacy of it, so what does that say about it? It's essentially faith-based, that's what (if it really worked my scepticism should make no difference). Imo it's even worse than religion, as it's a mumbo jumbo pseudoscience. So there. Worse than religion - now Im narked. I realised as I was typing earlier I sound like a religous nut. In your position I wouldnt agree with me either tbh. My position is best described as I think it might be helpful to some in certain situations. What do you think about acupuncture by the way?

The reason being by defintion a homeopath cant treat a group. I dont really know though - I dont want to be the boards resident new age crank. I do go to the accupuncturist once a month though (not on the nhs renty)

  12. Its an indictment of the sad state of affairs that this going through would surprise me not one little bit. Come January if were not sold we could well see an exodus

  14. I can see how you would use that sort of thing as a last resort and it just shows it can work. The case in the OP is tragic though and I can't understand why the doctor wouldn't have been the first port of call under those circumstances. I agree about op obv. I was as convinced as Renty that homoeopathy was quackery at best - I just wanted to share my convwersion. Ill be really pissed of if I have the same revelation wrt Jesus - I will have to kill myself if I start beleiving that tripe
  15. For the first three years of his life my son had excma so bad his elbow and knee joints his feet and hands were like open seeping wounds. Neither he nor my wife or I had an uniterrupted nights sleep in all this time. We had unending hospiatl and doctor visits, which would mitigate the symptoms to some extent but never approach improving his condition in any real way. The poor bugger was in constant agony My wife decided to visit a homeopath, reccomended by one of her hippy mates, who rccomended sulphur tablets. I was convinced it was complete quackery - one week later I had completely changed my view. It was genuinely like a miracle cure. yadda yadda sample size, controlled environment, correlation causality etc.. I was a complete sceptic and cynic beforehand but nothing now will convice me that the homeopath didnt cure my little boy.

  21. I was at that one, it was unbeleivable how crap we were Yesterday was the 40th anniversary of my first match. (FORTY YEARS!!) and today I feel as gloomy about the future as in any of those years.

  23. To look at it another way if we do go down there will be no bugger left to get us back up again. The number of players coming out of contract with nobody to sort it out is very worrying
