  1. Think they'll walk if he don't come back.
  2. Well done mate. What deal did you get with Amazon?
  3. Although I can't comment on Clarkson as a human being having never met him I find the pseudo-left -wing, guilty-privately educated- feminazi - posturing, stuck up, disconnected ghetto the BBC has become intolerable.
  4. Sky have wanted him for ages anyway. It's clear he plays up on purporse and it's silly to take it seriously.
  5. Too fukin right. The producers name was Oysin. I rest my case.
  6. Biggest money maker Beeb has. 215 terrirories or summink.
  7. On screen, in print and in person, he delighted in being anti-PC, once telling a Guardian female executive that her sandals were “lesbian shoes”.
  8. I agree, but in reality it just isn't possible. I mean 5-6 years ago I'd never catch myself saying things like that...But the fact is that competing nations like China and India are very resource hungry with leaping GDP's and will if allowed to cut us out of many future deals (Look at China in Africa and deals all over the place). BRICS over the next decade will become a serious threat to our hegemony on resources and financial dominance. The 'old world' elites will fight to the death (our deaths not theirs) to hold onto what they have and that includes priming new conflict arenas through proxy forces (ala Ukraine). The alternative of 'working together' and 'sharing' resources just isn't on the table. It will never be serioulsy discussed till 'host' poulations understand that 'resource adventurism' doesn't really benefit us the people. It benefits big companies who keep nearly all their profits these days. Capitalism relies on state armies to control its assets and state banks for emergency finance. As a model it was finished sometime in the 70's.
  9. To secure assets and resources for multinationals. The first companies to sign deals in Iraq were UK and Dutch. "Iraq's supergiant Rumaila oil field is already being developed by BP, and the other supergiant reserve, Majnoon oil field, is being developed by Royal Dutch Shell. Both fields are in southern Iraq." Al Jazz The idea of needig a military to defend a country has a cute and antiquated appeal. Their actual role is to be bouncers for oil, gas and mineral outfits. "Prior to the 2003 invasion and occupation of Iraq, US and other western oil companies were all but completely shut out of Iraq's oil market," oil industry analyst Antonia Juhasz told Al Jazeera. "But thanks to the invasion and occupation, the companies are now back inside Iraq and producing oil there for the first time since being forced out of the country in 1973." The discovery of huge veins of Lithium (batteries, laptops, circuits, mobile phones) in Afghanistan came as a surprise to all concerned apparently... “The previously unknown deposits — including huge veins of iron, copper, cobalt, gold and critical industrial metals like lithium — are so big and include so many minerals that are essential to modern industry that Afghanistan could eventually be transformed into one of the most important mining centers in the world, the United States officials believe. An internal Pentagon memo, for example, states that Afghanistan could become the “Saudi Arabia of lithium,” a key raw material in the manufacture of batteries for laptops and BlackBerrys. The vast scale of Afghanistan’s mineral wealth was discovered by a small team of Pentagon officials and American geologists. The Afghan government and President Hamid Karzai were recently briefed, American officials said. While it could take many years to develop a mining industry, the potential is so great that officials and executives in the industry believe it could attract heavy investment even before mines are profitable, providing the possibility of jobs that could distract from generations of war. “There is stunning potential here,” Gen. David H. Petraeus, commander of the United States Central Command, said… “There are a lot of ifs, of course, but I think potentially it is hugely significant.”
  10. In the old days an airbourne deterrent was tricky, but not nowadays with modern C&C systems. Spread the planes out over 4/5 secret airbases. Cheap as chips.
  11. Nice little track that. In a wierd way I didn't really get into Gas till quite recently.
  12. Beautiful. Should have produced a Jacko album. Didn't turn up.

    Is a Kookaburra a big parrot?
  14. Love the way he always looks a bit grumpy at having to slaughter his irritants.
