Aye, followed by the great Anschluss stitch-up. Correct. Led to the final group games being played at the same time. See that's the difference between British and integrity and the rest of the world. England and Scotland would never have dreamed of doing such a thing. It helps that England and Scotland largely hate each other, at least in a sporting environment, while Austrians are just Germans but with a greater tendency towards inbreeding, mental illness and xenophobia. Didn't they used to run Germany in the past?

We'll beat USA by 3 or 4...Every tournament they get hyped and they are basically shit. Good shout regarding Algeria a proper footballing nation.

Looks tasty this lad. Get him fit and get him starting games.

This is a very winnable tournament for us. We should really fear nobody bar Brazil and we even gave them a good game in the last meaningful match and that was before Capello.

Taylors agent probs hawked him around and he probs only signed when there was no significant interest.

It's the World Cup not Die Hard 5.

I'm going to be in Nashville when that's on. Yeehaw. England and Italy got the best out of that then. And Brazil-Portugal-Ivory Coast-North Korea is a peach of a group. Couldn't be happier for the Portuguese.

Groups of death B and G. We should stroll our group and probs get Nigeria.

Chased him down the drive with a golf club and shit.

Given the coverage we get it's to be expected that axeman sees 'our' torturing of innocent civilians as something clean, with no lasting effects, done with a grave heart only out of extreme necessity for the greater good of humanity. While 'their' torture of innocent civilians and soldiers is a particular kind of evil, without purpose, which stems from a barbaric bloodlust that is inseperable from their religion. isnt it?? thats a joke btw! (just in case) you guys are funny! Backing out graciously?

I think you missed my point (perhaps intentionally). Torturing people doesn't help keep ANYONE safe. Consider if you were a peaceful farmer minding your sheep and a relative of yours was plucked off the streets of Baghdad, rendered to Cuba, and tortured to death without charge or trial. Would that make you more or less likely to take up the fight against the people that did it? I take your point Happy and i agree with you that torture is not a good thing. dont forget tho that both sides partake in torture. normally without the humanitarian (if that is the correct word) aspect that the US shows its 'prisoners' in that they remain alive afterwards. Again, i reiterate, torture is WRONG. but that will never stop people from doing it. If you're in it to win it, you'll do anything! ask Thiery Henry What a load of relitavised bollocks.

tbf Happy, i dont think you can compare Guantanamo to the other concentration/death camps mentioned in this thread. scary stats there. not sure what i would answer to those questions as i have relatives in the army who have been on front line duties. So a little bit of torture and murder is ok? At least he had the good grace to put a respectable face on his torture programs. I'd have thought that having family on the front line would ensure your opposition to the use of torture, given it's power as recruitment propaganda for radical jihadi's. i dont recall saying torture was ok? but if the information gained by the 'intelligence services' has helped save the lives of my relatives on the front line then i guess it puts me in a bit of a quandry. ie. its wrong but i'll gladly take the wrong to protect my own. a shitty state of affairs to be sure, but i dont know anybody that would sacrifice a member of their own family for the sake of their 'principles'. Have you got any hard proof of that? of course not, what a stupid question. But have you any hard proof that it hasnt? I dont agree with torture. I believed I had made that clear. Parky = WUM I don't think your underlying sentiments make it clear at all. Even if your mum was on the front line...Torture is illegal and no Western democracy should condone it or let it happen on the sly.

If it was put out a few times a week it wouldn't do that. yep, but he’s too frightened! You've made him like that.

He's a famous black man, this will run and run...

They want to organise Europ how they want and they don't want details like democracy getting in the way.

Not talking about me watching them am I..? I'm talking about the amount of airtime it seems to be taking up and is a country with the worst food in Europe really suddently so interested in cooking??!!! Is it fuck the worst food in Europe. It's arguably the best food in Europe now, iirc London has more Michelin star restaurants than Paris. We benefit from not having a very strong national cuisine and importing other countries foods. I've has some truely woeful food abroad as well as really nice stuff. As for German food, well, come on. We definitely have better baked beans: FACT.

agreed - the Swiss are parasites - they never do anything, join anything, start anything. They live by hiding cash stolen from poor folk all over the world - a nation based on fencing stolen goods IMHO Spot on.

Parky's probably busy browsing his Gordon Ramsay cookbook for ideas aye you can watch sport or gardening or reality shows ......................... I think I'll can my TV soon Quite agree. While I was away I started missing telly, then when I got back I realised why I used to never watch it. That Country House rescue programme is the best thing on telly by a mile...

River Cottage is quite relaxing, but honestly he can't cook for shit! He had some lettuce leaves on a BBQ the other day... I don't care he does potted rabbit and can carve a lamb carcass. I like River Cottage. There is zero chance that I would ever forage in a hedgerow for salad ingredients or brew my own hooch, but it's nice to believe someone somewhere is mad enough to do it. Is this Good Life type of shizzle catching on in the UK? It's a sure sign a country is fucked when men start incessant babbling about cooking and ingredients.
