Cherie is a hard core Catholic and probably too busy with her own voodoo to take notice of the plight of A-rabs.

I think he got a cuppa tea out of it.

More a case of "anti"-racism groups using the usual political and judicial bludgeons to support their own causes than anything else. Fact is if you used that method of slaughter with non-religious justification you'd be in trouble. Speak out against it though and you'll be "stoned". It's like the cyclist>pedestrian>disabled pyramid of "moral" power. Fop momentatily morphs into Christopher Hitchens.

definitely there's very few famous people I wouldnt do just so i could tell my mates down the pub! if i wasnt married of course I can just picture it. "Alright lads, yer knaa that Patrick Moore?... Shagged him." A prolonged period of silence.

She's got a very sexy gravelly voice apparently. I'd phone sex it. I'd be up for that, as long as she didnt come out with any anti-arab shit halfway through. That's unnacceptable. Might spice it up if it was part of a 'performance'.

Isn't it just they want people to use less health care? By living to be 100? The single biggest issue that is facing healthcare policy makers is the 'greying' of the population i.e. people living longer. You have distinct camps as stakeholders though, the public health do-gooders and those with an eye on the money being spent. Can't we make it like Logans Run?

A Paris prosecutor yesterday called for French film legend Brigitte Bardot to receive a two-month suspended prison sentence and a £12,000 fine for inciting racial hatred in a letter. Brigitte Bardot, now an animal rights activist, has been convicted four times since 1997 on similar charges In December 2006, Miss Bardot, 73, now an animal rights activist, wrote to President Nicolas Sarkozy of France, then the interior minister, criticising the Muslim practice of slaughtering sheep without first stunning them. In the letter published by the magazine Info-Journal and handed out to members of the Brigitte Bardot Foundation, she wrote: "We're fed up with being led by the nose by this population that is destroying us, destroying our country by imposing its acts". Several French anti-racism groups filed for charges of "inciting discrimination and racial hatred" against Muslims. Miss Bardot was not in court, citing "difficulties in getting around", but her lawyer read out a note in which she said she was "appalled" at the "harassment" of anti-racism groups. "I will never keep quiet" until animals are stunned before ritual slaughter, she added, saying she was "tired and weary". "I too am tired and weary", said the prosecutor Anne de Fontette, pointing out that Miss Bardot had been convicted four times since 1997 on similar charges. "She might as well write that Arabs should be thrown out of France", she said. "It is time to hand out heftier sentences". Arabs and France eh.

J K Rowling, whose Harry Potter books have been under scrutiny in a copyright trial in New York, experienced an unexpected setback when the judge hearing the case said that the names of her characters and places sounded like gibberish. In an an exchange with a witness, Judge Robert Patterson Jr admitted that he was not a Harry Potter fan. His only experience of reading one of the books was during a visit by his grandchildren when he read them half of Harry Potterand the Sorceror’s Stone, the first in the series. He found it hard to follow Rowling’s “magical world”, he said, as it was filled with strange names and words that would be gibberish in any other context. “I found it extremely complex,” he said - even more so than the novels of Dickens that his own father read to him as a child. Judge Patterson suggested there was genuine worth in an encyclopaedia like The Harry Potter Lexicon, written by Steven vander Ark, that Rowling is attempting to block by claiming that it breaches her copyright. Jeri Johnson, a dean of English at the University of Oxford’s Exeter College, the witness he was examining, agreed - if the reference guide was done properly. Mr Vander Ark, 50, a librarian from Michigan, is a passionate Potter fan and compiled material from a website that he had been compiling for many years. RDR Books, a small publishers that created The Harry potter Lexicon from the wsebsite, argued in court that it was little different to any other reference guide to an important novel and should be allowed to go to press without any interference." With all that money she's getting a bit silly now.

so its not on the increase then ? Fact is that the amount of people coming into the country, unable to speak English, sponging off the taxpayer ie you, and taking up whatever spare affordable housing there is, increasing strain on public services, is increasing, and shows no sign of slowing down, but don't let what your brainwashed hippy schoolmaster told you influence you whatever you do. Not just you Alex. Splendid paper the Guardian like. That advert where the bloke doesn't wipe his arse with it really makes me laugh. Before you start, I don't read the Mail either. I blame Yurop.

How do you make that out? to be honest, Fop will stick a smiley on the end of a lot of posts inferring a greater depth to his words. Often times his words are pretty staid and as poignant as anybody else's, bu this addition of a smiley, in his mind, affords him some degree of gravitas and profundity... when really he's said nothing of note. Mancy is right (as much as anybody who's geographically and stylistically inept can be) but Fop will merrily carousel until the boredom sets in and at that point he will declare himself the winner. Anyone who deems fit to challenge will again be met with a barrage of inane detritus wrapped as sense and formula. Edit:- I'm a true blue sesquipedalian My feeling was and without resorting to his normal largesse Fop was holding his own against a pretty early use of condescending small weapons fire. On the other hand Manc tried to back out early doors seeing the morass his lectors had been drawn into caught as they were in a ravine flanked by the two hills of Fops unwavering quasi-rationale. His Romulus (Sunday supplement style phraseology) and his Remus ( the instinctive need to have a pop at plod).

Media bollocks or not, 90k per week would be mental for Martins. And it's not like we don't have a bit of a track record for paying people way over the odds btw. A difficult cycle to break, even with a brand new management team. I can't believe those numbers for Martins.

How do you make that out?

Thanks for the advice, unfortunately they had already picked me up an hour before you posted. I asked them about how the bail would affect my travelling and they said there were no restrictions on it and immigration on the US side wouldn't know anything about it. I didn't take a lawyer with me though to be honest I don't think having one would have been much of a benefit, it was basically as they told me, just a discussion of the incident (which lasted two and a half fucking hours). I seemed to be lucky in getting two sound coppers, they weren't there to trick me or catch me out, they just asked me straight forward questions and were straight down the line with me about what the allegations were and what would happen next. After the tapes had stopped rolling and they were showing me out they did even comment that the whole thing was 'fucking mental' which gives me a bit of confidence in them. I'm back home at the minute and had no plans of returning to Manchester in the forseeable future so that's why I wanted to get it dealt with today though my bail states that I have to return back on the 14th May which I imagine involves me getting a flight the whole way there, turned up to the station, signing something and then getting on a plane again. It was Grey Mare Lane Station in Eastlands, not the classiest joint in the world. Oh and Parky I did have to give a DNA sample as it was a recordable offence I was arrested for and I was told that even when I am cleared it is highly unlikely to be removed from the database, but if I'm doing nothing wrong then I've nothing to worry about. But you haven't committed an offence dimwit.

Maybe, it's still quite true though. Life's not always fun and game, even for me. It's a bit a strange though isn't it? I mean, if I've followed this right - your principles involved the belief that benefits should only go to those who need and deserve them. Yet, you were in a position where you could have legitimately claimed (so you wouldn't have been going against your own principles anyway) since by that I take it you meant you had a genuine ailment (or whatever) yet you undertook financial and other hardships on the basis that you just thought you should. Have I got that right? Because if I have it fucking reeks of bullshit. Well I had an option for work, which in fairness not everyone would have had in my situation (and without that I would have had less choice in the matter), but I still would have been better off not doing so and taking the benefits option at that time, not only in monetary terms, but also in more general quality of life terms too (and most people told me I should, but then when do I listen to most people? ). I really don't like to sponge or be in debt in any way, it's just how I am, it's not the most intelligent way to live certainly, but it is my way. Not that it has anything to do with the arguments here though, other than "well what do you know", and that I could have milked the system if I'd wanted too, even though I did have other options open too me (and as I said a system like that is bound to be milked on balance). One option is to introduce company payments into the healthcare system/welfare per worker or summat... Let's drive business abroad. ...moreso. It's the perpetual debate here about the strings attached in employment law la di dah...The right wingers want more our system. I can't help feeling ill when I see those massive mulit-national and bank profits.

It's where we're heading T....Perpetual war and all that...

Just get an accountant it's a lot cheaper than you think and saves you a lot of hassle. They are good at warping reality as well.

This whole E.U. is getting more fucked up by the day. I was thinking of moving to Prague but they're in the fucking EU as well...

You've got to be tapped to think that Noel is the bigger cock of the two. And has he heard the stuff Liam has written? Don't think that's what he was saying. It's not about Liam's writing either is it...? Sounds like exactly what he's saying to me. Regardless, he clearly hasn't heard Liam sing in about 10 years, his voice is awful now. He can only sing a handful of songs live, that's how they pick their setlists now. lol the idea of Mark E Smith criticising Liam's voice for being shit is hilarious! you have heard him sing havent you? Hallo! Another with reading issues...? Where is he criticising Liam's voice? sorry mate perhaps i didnt make myself clear, what I was getting at is that of course the fact that 'Liam's voice is awful now' is not gonna mean jack shit to MES who is himself technically a shite singer. I was on your side mr defensive. By the way I love the Fall! In that case I'll let you off dear.

Who are they? (sorry if I'm missing something obvious here, I've just woke up) The accountant for companies house or whatever it's called these days. New rules dontcha know.
