IP Ban the boring obsessed cockney shitehound. He brings no insight, no humour, no opinions worth a wank. He spams the board with his worthless Wum bollocks and makes it a worse place. He hasnt written a post worth reading in months, and he constantly ruins threads with the same old bollocks. I say get rid of the useless cunt

OMG I had forgotten the old Atlantis theories- I used to love all of that stuff. I used to love arguing that it was true with people to wind them up (foptastic) and ended up believing it myself. my personal favourite theory being the Antarctica once having been Atlantis and for Hapgood's Earth Crustal Shift hypothesis You got me there... Never heard that one treat yourself - its a great read Fingerprints of the Gods - Graham Hancock Review Poking about through an assortment of grand earthly mysteries, Hancock (The Sign and the Seal, 1992) cobbles together a fascinating theory that proposes a lost civilization lying behind the conundrums. Why is it that the ruins of central America appear to show such a profound knowledge of spherical trigonometry millennia before that branch of mathematics was to find currency in the West? How is it that the great temples in Peru and Egypt show a clear understanding of the precession of the equinoxes way prior to its "discovery" by Hipparchus? All of these ancient monuments depict bearded Caucasian men in their sculpture. Pourquoi? Drawing on an amazing wealth of materials - from a close reading of mythology to geological texts, from archaeo-astronomy to rarefied mathematics - Hancock devises a theory that posits a highly evolved civilization that was wiped clear off the face of the earth during the cataclysmic happenings that attended the retreat of the last ice sheet. A resulting massive crustal displacement in turn might have buried the evidence of this advanced culture, leaving only a few survivors to pass on their knowledge to succeeding generations. Egyptian, Olmec, Mayan, and Aztec civilizations all speak of men - Viracocha, Quetzalcoatl, the bearded men - who brought great wisdom into their midst (though why they didn't pass along the principle of the wheel to the Maya is an equal mystery). Where did these learned men come from? Hancock has evidence to suggest Antarctica, explained via a combination of crust movement and the odd fact that the topography of Queen Maud Land appears on a map dated 1513, when it was - and had for millennia been - under ice. He also has evidence that the next apocalypse may be just around the corner. A fancy piece of historical sleuthing - breathless, but intriguing and entertaining and sturdy enough to give a long pause for thought. (Kirkus Reviews)

so what does their job description say ? Technically they are self employed sub contractors which means they are free to offer or refuse there service for any delivery or collection we have available. In reality we can usually find someone who has no objection to handling alcohol to make the delivery. We also have people who dont like delivering into central london, some who dont like long journeys on a friday night, and those who like to finish in Horsham before six o clock on a Wednesday for football training. We try to accomodate any specific dislike or reequests they might make, in return we find if we need people to do the less rewarding jobs they will help us out. I have found if you treat people fairly and with respect they will work harder and more efficiently. Of course I terminate the contract of anybody who refuses too much work, or who I dont feel is treating me or my staff fairly and with respect. -

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 -

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 -

Your Lowest Point Of Supporting Newcastle Ever??
spongebob toonpants replied to Cheetzy's topic in Newcastle Forum
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? -
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)
