Passive agressive. The only one where it didn't work is when he visited the redneck nazi's (he looked genuinely uncomfortable and scared in some parts).

Betting intensive day at the Turkish bookies.

Bravado Dave best yet.

Start with: "It's basically a death sentence, but one which is commuted just long enough for you to actually kill yourself..." Should get things moving nicely.

He's done well coming back after being written off by CT.

Home teams need to progress refereeing going on??

Racism while they were training? Scandal these scum are hosting the tournament.

Good stuff Mr Fist.

There's a lot of pressure these days to keep things under 2 hrs and that might explain some of the gaps (grasping at straws). It sounds like it looks beautiful but there is a certain 'aura' missing. Not enough 'darkness' and the mysteries that holds.

Yeah cause Soros is a top communist like. In foreign policy, Soros advocates working with the United Nations to resolve international crises peacefully. Although he built much of his fortune using off-shore accounts outside the U.S. tax system, he supports more progressive taxes. Like billionaires Bill Gates and Warren Buffett, Soros advocates higher estate taxes yet selects charitable organizations. Apparently the government knows the best use of everyone's money but his own. http://www.billionai...orge-soros.aspx http://www.soros.org/

Top post. I was waiting for you to lay the smack down. ...And it's one of the reasons capitalism has survived by redistributing wealth (to a degree) and keeping 'people in the game; qv Soros "The periphery".

Good post.

This better deliver or I'm gonna scythe into Ridley Scott and no mistake.

He likes it up the shitter that's worth a 100k of anyones money.

Think we need 2 draws and a win. Tricky group iyam. The German side are tense as everyone here expects them to win it.

Prefers talking to plants dontcha know.

Early plot points it used to be, back in the day gave time to 'buy into' the characters. As you say in 'Alien' they feel real with their humdrum concerns on the grimy and old 'Nostromo'.

Whether they understand them or not, all taxpayers have been sucked into the derivatives virtual reality game, and at great cost. By Eleanor Bloxham, CEO of The Value Alliance and Corporate Governance Alliance FORTUNE -- It's tax time -- and if you are like many people, you may spend a moment contemplating all the benefits your tax dollars bring. But amid all of those benefits, your money is also propping up the proliferation of derivatives in our economic system. Now isn't that something to be proud of? "Derivatives are financial weapons of mass destruction, carrying dangers that, while now latent, are potentially lethal," Warren Buffett wrote in 2002. Boy was he right, in more ways than one. In practice, they're destructive in three killer ways. Strike one: Unbridled manufacture of and investment in them continues to lead to bubbles, an erosion of trust in the capital markets, and they fueled our most recent financial crisis. Strike two: Used in compensation, they encourage risky behavior and economic instability. Strike three: Rather than going to other, useful causes, tax dollars are instead subsidizing both the corporations that dole out derivatives as compensation and the profits of the financial institutions that create them. Derivatives aren't real in any natural sense, like iron or coal or water. They are a manufactured investment product that is supposed to have a relationship to something that is more real, like a stock, a bond, a mortgage, or a commodity -- but that relationship is sometimes tenuous at best. Whether they understand them or not, all taxpayers have been sucked into this virtual reality game, and at great cost." http://management.fortune.cnn.com/2012/04/16/the-terrible-cost-the-u-s-pays-for-derivatives/

"OVER THE years we have written many articles which explain how Bill Gates uses the Gates Foundation to avoid paying his fair share of tax into the economy he is exploiting. We wrote s great deal about taxation tricks of Microsoft and Gates because there is a lot to cover there. Being a rich company and family, they get to call their evasion of tax “legal” and bribe some politicians to make it so. That’s crony capitalism. Mr. Salmon, a respectable journalist from Reuters (who recently criticised Gates for hijacking the press), writes about “problematic charitable-donation tax deduction” and includes Gates in there: It’s hard to answer the first question with any specificity. But the second is easier to answer. Take a look at the $360,000 salary for the director of the Neue Galerie — or, for that matter, the $1.5 million paid to the general manager of the Metropolitan Opera, or the other seven-figure salaries paid at non-profit hospitals, universities, and foundations. There’s a rich-people money-go-round here: Jeff Raikes of the Gates Foundation doesn’t need his million-dollar salary, but the foundation is paying it anyway, as a matter of principle, presumably to encourage other foundations to start paying similar sums. These 1% salaries aren’t being paid out of small-dollar donations from the masses; they’re being paid out of large-dollar donations from other members of the 1%. And there’s no good reason for the US tax code to encourage such things. "

"Many of the solar panels that now adorn European and American rooftops have left behind a legacy of toxic pollution in Chinese villages and farmlands. The Post article describes how Luoyang Zhonggui, a major Chinese polysilicon manufacturer, is dumping toxic factory waste directly on to the lands of neighboring villages, killing crops and poisoning residents. Other polysilicon factories in the country have similar problems, either because they have not installed effective pollution control equipment or they are not operating these systems to full capacity. Polysilicon is a key component of the sunlight-capturing wafers used in solar photovoltaic (PV) cells."

I dunno man, but he (Holdren) looks like a right dodgy fucker.

His daughter Alexandra confirmed that her father died on Tuesday night in Southern California. She did not have additional details. Bradbury wrote hundreds of novels, short stories, plays and television and film scripts in a career dating back to the 1940s. His most famous novels include Fahrenheit 451 and Something Wicked This Way Comes. The writer's grandson, Danny Karapetian, said: "He influenced so many artists, writers, teachers, scientists, and it's always really touching and comforting to hear their stories. "His legacy lives on in his monumental body of books, film, television and theatre, but more importantly, in the minds and hearts of anyone who read him, because to read him was to know him". The author was married to Marguerite McClure, who died in 2003. The couple had four daughters together. Bradbury was born in Illinois, and as a teenager moved with his family to Los Angeles." Only read Farenheit 451 a couple of weeks ago. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-18345350
