Not going to happen though, at least not as long as so many parents are allowed to bring up their children so shabbily- and it only takes a handful of wayward kids to drag a whole bunch down to their level. While in principle I would agree that faith an the state should not mix and admire a lot of countries who have acheived this situation- I don't think it would be the right time now to do away with them. A lot of faith schools still operate in an 'old-fashioned' manner (though not much) and gives a good indication of how successful or otherwise recent changes to the education system are. Mind you, as long as the government proceeds with their 'one for all' approach to education we're screwed in the long-term regardless. Education is a load better than it was ten years ago. It sickens me that they haven chosen to take this path now. I would make every kid go there local school and ensure that every child in the country had exactly the same spent on them. The only thing that makes me more angry than faith schools is private education. Actually make that the same angry they are both equally and totally wrong

I'm with you and am fundamentally opposed to them, especially the ones peddling more fundamental faiths, like Emmanuel college in Gateshead. They teach lies, discourage free thought, have luddite attitudes and are anti-science, and are devisive. Of all the things the current government have done this supporting these ridiculous, outdated schools is the thing I object to most, even more than Iraq. I would advocate an entirely secular education for all children. Faith schools appall and disgust me, there should be a complete and total divorce of church and state, no faith should have any input into running a school. I am steadfast in my support of Blair, but I really despise this

Most people who saw Dylan live at the height of his powers ('66) thought he was shit. Hence all the booing. Watching them back I can't imagine not being in awe, especially of the power behind the electric half of the set. As he'd sing to the audiences at the time "You know something is happening here, but you don't know what it is", very true. When he spits that at the audience in "No direction home" it is fantastic. I saw Bob Dylan at Earls Court in 1976 or so, it was alright but not one of the greats

Thats the fella

Here is the official Pokerstars statement I think my second income stream may be temporarily inconvenienced

Neteller news

US citizens will still have to pay taxes on poker winnings. The thinking behind it seems to be some sort of unholy combination of christian rightwing anti gambling fervour and protectionism for state run lottery/horseracing which is still legal. Re losing out on winnings, what I meant was they're losing out on tax from online winnings because presumably those that are going to try and play illegally now can't declare their illegal income as taxable. That idiot Bush will still be giving off about "freedoms" in his speeches. What a pillock. The legality of playing hasnt changed, just the legality of depositing. Winnings still have to be declared as before

100% Likely to be signed, was passed unanimously in the senate. Will be signed within two weeks

neTELLER are outside their jurisdiction, though. My information says Party haven't even pulled the plug yet, won't do so unless Bush signs it in. Am I wrong? Thelink I posted earliewr was the Party statement seems pretty cut and dried I think they have made it illegal for US banks to trade with neteller. Basically it is still legal to play or withdraw money, but not to deposit

Pacific (888.com) have also confirmed they wont service US players, I think they were 3rd behind Party and Stars. The legislation has been specificlly drafted to make it illegal to deposit with neteller or other financial institutions that service "the illegal online gaming industry"

Party shares down 57% so far this morning ouch

The big problem is the players who know what they are doing will be able to get round it, but the recreational fish wont. It seems amazing that they can do this, but the cynic in me thinks we will see the big American Casinos being liscenced by the us govt soon. Interseting times ahead I think

When the smb was quality he was one of the best posters on there That is sad news

Shocking news this weekend as America makes online poker illegal Party have already announced banning US players and other main sites expected to follow. The player pool has just diminished by 75% which means the games will get a shit load harder to beat. God Bless America, the land of the free

hope this isnt old

SHABBA I wish there was a Shabba smiley

Two lions walking through a shopping centre, one says to the other " a bit quiet here today"

Says the man who does sums for a living

Its like two bald men arguing over a comb

Spice Girls with guitars tbh. Woah there boys, I am not saying it was the best concert I had been to, I was merely correcting the manc mag. Oasis first album was a classic, sadly they quickly disappeared into pub rock boringness very quickly

Oasis at Maine Road. I imagine you'll want to delete your post now tbh. Coldplay were alreet when I saw them too. I wish I'd gone to the one at the COM Stadium last year to be honest, that would have been ace. Nah. Maine Road tbh. At their peak! Surely you mean "well past their peak" 1996 man woman man!!!! Whats the story just released. Home town. Their club. Lots of anti-red jibes. Cant top it. Cant top it - I bet I can. 1994 I think, Definitely Maybe had just come out last gig in uk tour at London Astoria. And went to the end of tour party at the Leisure Lounge afterwards, where I spent half an hour deep in conversation with Noel Gallagher, apparently. Sadly I dont remember that happening as I overindulged somewhat
