I'd like to leave them a health service free at the point of delivery. Theyre running it into the ground so they can privitise it iyam. Maybe with the help of some of these MP's... (list from before last years election but I think we can see a pattern here )

I've noticed most companies I've contracted to lately are stacked out to be fair. The order book for my present company runs to the middle of 2017. However, I've also noticed quite a lot of this... http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2015/nov/22/tories-autumn-statement-george-osborne Not that you give a flying fuck...

It's been noticeable for three seasons iyam. We've basically given up at various points every season since we finished 5th. It comes from the very top of the club, it's inherent in every single part of the set up. No one properly gives a fuck.

Here's some light reading to brighten a Monday morning.... http://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2015/03/what-isis-really-wants/384980/

Certainly is, but as someone said I'd only heard Matador and a couple of others this year. Went to see him in an old church hall on Thursday night, he mentioned the awards in passing towards the end and got a predictably huge cheer, I saw a mate in the pub afterwards and we agreed he had no fuckin chance, sad to say we were right He was brilliant btw, just him, a few guitars, a keyboard and a beat box/sampler thingy. Also played Moving and a rioutous Caught by the Fuzz as an encore. I think Matador beats the shit out of his previous solo offering and for me he remains an huge talent.

Its certainly is, its the nowadays lesser spotted DubiousBobcat, he was living up the road from me and I was going to see his band but he seems to have dropped off the TT radar.

Nice. You still in Kinson mate?

Very much this. Am struggling through Touching Distance at the moment. Every time I pick the thing up I end up fuckin fuming and put it down after a couple of chapters when I compare then to now. I understand things have changed in football overall in the two decades since but ffs the club is a fuckin husk. Theres nothing in it of any substance.

Looking forward to the trip to Croydon next weekend, Pardews lot will tear us a new one...

Am presuming you mean Shia v Sunni?...completely agree, and that's the one reason we stopped short of removing saddam in 1991, he was a necessary monster in that particular region. It also makes the decision to invade a decade later even more ludicrous. The west could've "managed" his successor a lot easier when he eventually left the scene if they hadn't intentionally set the two factions against each other in an entirely predictable way.

True, but have the wars we've prosecuted in the last decade been the Islamists chief recruiting tool? That's been ignored in this debate so far and for me it's very important.

Offside. Fuckin lino wants shooting.

Huth is an odious Teutonic wanker

Aye Barca. Strange night, Shola scored in the Nou Camp They were a pretty poor outfit at the time, Riquelme, Mendieta,Kluivert, all past their best. Dyer will always have my contempt for banging one of the nails into Sir Bob's SJP coffin. In a way though it was blown out of all proportion by the media. I doubt if hes the first player to tell the manager where he wants to play. I don't think hes the biggest tosser to play for us recently either, as well as being amongst the best, when his plasticine hamstrings weren't giving him gip.

Indeed. What's the exact relationship between the UAE government and Man City? Is that mansoor gadgie doing all the good works off his own bat or is some or all of it direct from the governments coffers?

Shit got real with Scargill-haired Murdoch lackey Andrew Neil on his talk show last night.... http://www.snappytv.com/tc/1036780

Ladies and Gentleman I give you Frankie Boyle...

Normally I'd agree but I don't think it's fair or in particularly good taste to start picking on Islam or it's plainly moderate and sensible followers 4 days after a bunch of oxygen thrives hijacked the belief system of 1.5bllion mostly reasonable and blameless followers and murdered 130 people. Aimaad has made some very thoughtful and pertinent contributions and didn't really deserve a grilling from the fuckin Geordie Inquisition.

Happy birthday to the other Lion of Gosforth

Weeeelllll..... Say if aimaad was a work colleague and you were quizzing him about his beliefs and openly laughed in front of witnesses about some of them and somebody reported it. You'd be on a spot of bother with HR at the very least. I know this is the Internet and this does sound very pious and PC but it proves a point in a way. The road to real trouble between communities starts with this sort of small time stuff. Of course it begs a much bigger question, should we tolerate intolerance?...it's tricky, it's the line between freedom of speech and respect for any religion. You don't respect Islam, fair enough, but the right to religious expression is enshrined in EU and UN conventions.

Am wondering if you're aware of how close you are to mocking aimaads religion here? It's ok, am not offended am am not intending on taking offence on behalf of aimaad himself. Are you just taking the piss out of his beliefs as an excercise in freedom of speech, because of the events of Friday night (which as several posters in this thread have tried to explain has fairly little to do with mainstream Islam in general) or because he's a lone voice on here 1000s of miles away on the end of a broadband connection? Mixture of all 3?... Fwiw I tend to agree with a lot of what you say but phrasing it in the manner you're doing is abusing the freedom of speech you appear to be claiming full rights to here. With those rights comes the responsibility to use them carefully and taking the piss out of the single(?) poster on here who can give real insight into how mainstream Moslems think is for me abusing that right as much as you're abusing aimaads beliefs.

Fair play to elderly Belfast proto-punks Stiff Little Fingers.... Many have cancelled, for various reasons... http://www.bbc.co.uk/newsbeat/article/34826099/foo-fighters-u2-and-eagles-of-death-metal-cancel-gigs-after-paris-attacks Don't know what I'd do, its a tricky one...

We know already that Jeremy Corbyn will not help. There was a time when Labour could be relied upon to fight totalitarian regimes such as the Islamic caliphate ruled by Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the self-declared Caliph Ibrahim. I wonder if Corbyn has read Sami Moubayed’s superb book, Under the Black Flag, which describes precisely what life is like in the hell on Earth created by the zealots of Raqqa. I wonder, too, if the Labour leader agreed with the article posted by Stop the War but since withdrawn, headlined “Paris reaps whirlwind of western support for extremist violence in Middle East”. As tasteless as the piece was, it captured accurately the Corbynite belief that Islamist terrorism is the consequence of western foreign policy. And there is no doubt that the errors of Iraq, Guantánamo and extraordinary rendition have oxygenated the millennial death cult that inspired seven militants (at least) to kill as many Parisian civilians as they could. But it is wilfully unhistorical to claim that their ideology is to be understood solely as the hideous spawn of decisions taken in the White House and Pentagon. What drove them was the same impulse that drove their forebears to burn The Satanic Verses a quarter century ago. It detects grievance everywhere, throughout history: from the Crusades to the loss of the caliphate in 1924, to the foundation of Israel in 1948, to the emancipation of women and gay people in the west. It bans music and comedy. It is violently theocratic. You could withdraw all western forces from the Middle East and north Africa, abolish the state of Israel, end America’s entanglement with Saudi Arabia – and the Islamists would describe this as no more than a good start. http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2015/nov/16/isis-britain-david-cameron-air-strikes-armchair-generals

Agreed, but for me religion is just the conduit, or m.o. If you like. The root cause is just mans inhumanity to his fellow man. Lust for power status and wealth. Don't know if this has been posted.. http://gu.com/p/4e8b4?CMP=Share_iOSApp_Other

It's easy to hitch your hatred of others and lust for recognition and resources to a relgious cause and it's been practiced the world over for 1000 years or so. At the end of the day it's just men narcissistically hell bent on power,land and money using one cult (or political system, comrade, or Mr President, delete as applicable) or another to attract other evil bastards to their cause while good people sit around and stick their heads in the sand. That sadly includes us all. There's no hope for the human race, there was no hope when a few catholic Germans murdered 6million Jews in the living memory of my parents, nor was there any hope when orthodox Christians went into Srbenica and killed 6000 Moslem boys and men 20 years ago. am not comparing figures or size of tragedy or anything like that, but I don't see huge amounts of difference in any of it tbh. I know a lot of you are big on equivalence but am not really suggesting accurate or even general comparisons can be made. I think the best way I can put it is all wars are economic in some way or other, and the easiest way to trigger one is to turn one neighbour against another.
