Park Life

Very rewarding. Like Jimbo it took MrsP a while to get into.

Thing is Iran will get some nukes and there isn't really a lot the U.S. can do about it short of invading/letting Israel do it. People forget Iran is a massive country and the nuclear programme is spread far and wide.

The wire is utter class.

KK tried to sell him to Ipswich, but they got a straw man cheaper apparently. I thought he failed the medical ? Nah straw man outran him.

I've done it now you useless cunts.

Ok, I've got a folder with the film in and a sep file with .srt with subtitles on. What do I do when I burn a disk? Better to burn a dvd or data disk or xvid or what? The easiest way to get the subtitles to work please. Thanks.

It says in the paper "Both sets of fans created a rousing atmosphere", I thought I'd ask a random armchair supporter, how it came across on telly, because even though I've lost me voice, in general I thought the atmosphere wasn't that great and we could've done more, particularly with 10 men. Re: Shola, that flick on to nobody in the second half and his general lazyness, I can honestly say I have a degree of sympathy with him for the abuse he receives, but 90% of it is completely justified. Balls flashed across the box, and he is just so lethargic and laid back, without sounding racist he would be better suited in temperament selling watches on a Jamaican beach with a big spliff in his mouth, than playing in the high octane Premiership. I have now without question reached the end with Shola. Stop before the white stuff spurts out!

Is it on a record or anything?

I've exchanged e mails with David Lynch.

was he a git when you met him? i love the smiths, i'd be quite disappointed if i met morrissey and he wasn't a sarccy moody shite p.s i'm just waiting for a certain person to post about the time he met the great MVB It was in a pub just off Earls Court iirc. He was sat there reading Metamorphosis by Kafka. I was really nervous, but my mate Darryl kept prodding me to go over. I took my pint over and just sat down opposite him and stuttered " How's it going"? To which he replied "Fine untill now"! But with a very sardonic and cool Mozzer smile. I think he was living in Amrica at the time and was over here for some court case. We talked about "Queen is Dead" and I told him how I first listened to it in the bath on a camping site on a cassette deck. He said he wanted to live in Paris, but didn't like the French...Can't remember much else, I remember for the first few minutes I was so much in awe I couldn't here a thing he said it was like drowning.

What about when you met MvB

Oh and Bob Mortimer at the comedy warehouse at the bar. Parky: What you doing here? You on later? Bob: Stealing jokes.

I've met: Gazza Peter Shearer Michael Burke (miserable voice off 999 and the news) Ant Dec Kat Deeley Mark Little (Joe Mangle) Eric Cantona Jorg Albertz Claudio Ranieri (best person I've met) Based his whole management career on things he learnt in his dads fish shop.

There was that bit where he scuffed a cross and the def just picked the ball up and started running away with it and Shola (5 yards away) just watched. Like a Cheetah (or the legendary Zarian carnivorous Giraffe) he's got to save his energy for when he needs it, if he doesn't score within the first 7 seconds of getting the ball, he has to slink off into the long grass to rest and patiently await more prey.

I've met: Morrissey Nelson Mandela Holly from FGTH The Mayor of Hamburg. Derek Jarman Cherie Blair Michael Mansfield

Maybe, maybe not. (as both Blair and Bush were/are relgious nutters anything is frankly possible) But it doesn't matter in the context of Saddam actually being removed and hopefully democracy replacing him. Nor does it absolve Iran from their calculated murder; whether the USA was doing the right thing, or using Iraq as a football, Iran was kicking back for nothing more than self-gain (and by that I mean Iran in the context of the ruling hard-line Islamofascists, not the actual people of Iran). Countries doing things for self gain, whatever next??!

Well you'll never convince me removing Saddam was an absolute bad thing™ (whatever the reasoning or lack of planning); leaving him in power was killing Iraqi's day in day out (directly and indirectly) and oppressing vast amounts of people with a police state that controlled things down to the very street level. Saddam had directly killed many hundreds of thousands of people over the years (through direct policies, not with his bare hands), and indirectly killed millions. Leaving him in power would have certainly made the last few years less bloody in Iraq, but that's an argument that can be applied to almost any conflict or tyrant no matter how bloody and brutal (it can be applied to Kosovo in fact). Ignoring that for now though, you need at least two sides to have a war. Iran was supplying several sides in the recent Iraq civil war (directly and through Syria), its intention was not just to honk off the USA, but also to destabilise Iraq by encouraging as much sectarian violence as possible. Iran directly killed many thousands of innocent Iraqi's (Kurdish, Sunni and Shia) for political goals, people that would not have died had Iran not supplied weapons money and other support to several sides. No matter how much you may or may not hate the USA, Iran was nothing but a "bad guy" in Iraq with much blood on their hands, any US guilt does not absolve Iran of that. Was it about removing Saddam?

Enjoyed The good shepherd.

Just watched it there for the first time since at the game. FFS how did he miss? Bad body alignment at moment of strike. Hit the ball wide of the goal as well. Schoolboy.

The funny thing is the shia control the Govt. in Iraq.

True, but they were fairly open about it, and were replacing Saddam. The difference with Iran is they were basically fighting a shadow war and denying all knowledge of it (much like their nuclear weapons program). Yet clearly they were doing it. Also Iran was fuelling the violence, even if every US troop had been pulled out Iran had vested interest in a unstable Iraq that at best eventually came under the control of Shia religious leaders, but even that they wouldn't have like very much (a 3 way split would have been more preferable for them). Or do you believe that Iran was justified in stoking Iraq's civil war (it was of course stoking sunni/shia violence too) simply to honk of the USA? They weren't open about it at all. It was a tissue of lies that started with WMD, then went on about democracy and ended with 'we just didn't like the cunt'.

Funny though.

Quite.
