For the same reason they are taking on Amrican in space and the rush for assets and supplies planet wide. They would love nothing more than a proxy war. YOu're also forgetting how much aid NK get from China via food and oil and the fact that NK have at least 2 nukes which they might use against SK.

Isn't Napalm illegal under the Geneva convention? America couldn't sustain a total war with North Korea which would immediately start to get supplies from China.

What a load of shit. Contrails dissapear within minutes. Chemtrails are huge and hang for hours and widen and have atmospheric consequeces. The German military HAVE ALREADY ADMITTED IT ROB. Yet to see a contrail made up of micro-alluminium, barium and synthetic spider web material.

Don't foget the holocaust mate.

N.Korea should just attack S Korea and get it over with. This would be a good time as America is stretched and bancrupt.

Why don't Israel? Why should Israel? Why should Iran? Because the UN says so, and it happens to be a really nutfilled regime, , would you be happy for Iran to have the bomb?? The UN is a joke.

Use the same chart but factor in the type of porn you're viewing. Simples.

Yeah it's harder if you're taller simply cause your brain is further away from your muscles.

I can do 12.

Here you go mate. German military admits it. http://www.livevideo.com/video/FA4FC1DA155...of-the-fir.aspx

Totally. But I didn't for a long time. I first became aware of it about 8 years ago and just would read the odd article and put it on the 'maybe' pile. But IMO there is now overwhelming proof. Every morning in Hamburg the last few days the sky would start clear blue and then the spraying starts and as the atrtificial material drops the fine misty web develops what look like 'long' clouds. Most late afternoons are cloudy when they should be sunny. My mate went to the countryside over the w/e and said the sky was cloudless and the sun was a real burning hot (on the skin). There is another media clip somehere cause the Germans are the only country who have semi-admitted to it according to questions in the EP. I'll try and find it. Can it really be for gobal cooling? And why all the denial?

They are currently spraying the fuck out of Hamburg.

Good technique. My motto is why do it today if it can be put off until tomorrow! That needs to change though Doing things is wildly overrated.

Christ on a ufo.

Good technique.

Hardly ever makes the news the catastrophe going on there. Wonder why?

Rob are you ignoring the big world cup thread for a laugh??v

Good stuff.

Just what we need: sarcasm software * 13:22 25 May 2010 by MacGregor Campbell Computers are getting better at understanding human languages, thanks partly to algorithms that can analyse sentences for positive or negative sentiments, says Ari Rappoport of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Israel. But picking up on sarcasm is still a problem. "In many cases, sarcasm is difficult even for people to recognise", never mind computers, he says. Rappoport and colleagues wrote a sentiment-analysing program. They then trained this software to recognise sarcasm by feeding it sentences that had been flagged up by human reviewers as likely to contain sarcasm. The team used the trained program to analyse a selection of product reviews on Amazon.com and a random selection of posts on Twitter. Three human volunteers were asked to rate the same material for sarcastic content. The algorithm agreed with the volunteers 77 per cent of the time for Amazon.com product reviews and 83 per cent of the time for the tweets. Nice work, really "It is a very exciting paper, because it attacks a problem that I didn't really think we were ready to make headway on," says Lillian Lee, a natural language processing expert at Cornell University in Ithaca, New York, who was not involved with the study. David Traum, a language researcher at the University of Southern California in Marina del Rey, says that getting people to agree about what constitutes sarcasm from single utterances with little context is difficult. "Really all we can say is that for these cases computers are about as good as people at agreeing with other people about what is sarcastic." The research was presented at the International AAAI Conference on Weblogs and Social Media in Washington DC this week. The tool could be used by marketers to track online public sentiment surrounding brands. We've had our own version for years.

Well Blair's hair has gone all white.

Gaza aid flotilla to set sail for confrontation with Israel A flotilla of eight boats carrying thousands of tonnes of construction materials, medical equipment and other aid is preparing to sail to Gaza in the next few days, setting the scene for a confrontation with Israel which has vowed to prevent the ships breaking the blockade on the Palestinian territory. Three cargo ships and five passenger vessels plan to meet up in international waters between Cyprus and Gaza Strip before heading towards Gaza City. The Israeli military is expected to stop the flotilla and divert it to the Israeli port of Ashdod. One of the organisers of the flotilla, which includes three vessels from Turkey, is IHH, a humanitarian aid group supported by Ankara. Diplomatic relations between Turkey and Israel have deteriorated since the Israelis launched a three-week war on Gaza in 2008-09. An attempt to block the flotilla is likely to increase tensions between the two countries. The Turkish prime minister, Racep Tayyip Erdogan, has called on Israel to avoid this be allowing the boats through. "This could make relations between Israel and Turkey more complicated," said Yigal Palmor, an Israeli foreign ministry spokesman. On board the ships are 10,000 tonnes of cargo and about 700-800 activists and politicians from more than 40 countries. The cargo includes building materials, medical supplies and paper for schools. One boat is carrying a complete dental surgery including drills. Crayons and chocolate are also on board for Gazan children. The cargo has been paid for by donations. "We're trying to break the blockade of the Gaza Strip and tell the world that Israel has no right to starve 1.5 million Palestinians," said Greta Berlin, of the Free Gaza Movement, another organiser of the flotilla. "We are bringing in vitally needed supplies so the people of Gaza can rebuild their infrastructure." Israel has imposed an economic blockade on Gaza since the Palestinian Islamist movement Hamas seized control almost three years ago. Nearly all exports and imports are banned and only a limited supply of food and medical aid is allowed in. Free Gaza has organised six previous aid boats to the Palestinian territory, the last three of which were blocked from reaching their destination by the Israeli military. This is the biggest attempt to take aid to Gaza. "The previous boats were making a statement ‑ these boats will be making a real impact," said Berlin. The Israeli navy enforces a 20-nautical mile (23-mile) closure of the sea off Gaza, which has had a devastating impact on its fishing industry. "The boats will not be allowed to enter Gaza territorial waters," said Palmor. "This is a territory in a self-declared state of war with Israel. There can be no uncontrolled transportation in or out of Gaza." Berlin accused Israel of "sabre-rattling" in the hope that the flotilla plan will be abandoned. "They have no right to control Gaza waters unless they want to admit they are occupying Gaza," she said. "They are the illegal entity, not us." Israel claims it is acting within international law. The Turkish ferry Mavi Marmara was today docked in Antalya, Turkey, along with two cargo ships, waiting to be joined by boats from Greece. "We will all go together in the next couple of days," said Hosain Orut, of the IHH. John Ging, head of the main UN agency in Gaza, urged more ships carrying aid to be sent: "We believe that Israel would not stop these vessels because the sea is open, and many human rights organisations have been successful in previous similar steps, and proved that breaking the siege on Gaza is possible." Earlier this week, a UN report said that three-quarters of the damage caused to Gaza's infrastructure during the three-week military conflict has not been repaired because of the blockade. Mark Regev, the Israeli prime minister's spokesman, said: "It is strange that human rights activists are acting as apologists for a regime that is brutally repressing human rights. Hamas oppresses women, gays and Christians, has crushed independent media and destroyed all political opposition." He added that 15,000 tonnes of aid was allowed into Gaza every week. Dozens of boats manned by Israeli citizens took the water at the weekend in protest at the aid flotilla.

When I lived in Birmingham, my mate Jasvinder used to play for Villa reserves, but broke his leg and it ended his career. He used to play 5 a side with us (after the knee op) and was still better than anyone within a 5km radius.
