Might get four. Young and Carew look really sharp tonight.

They won't be able to contain the rotating Villa strikers once they start to tire.

3-0 to Villa no worries.

Villa 3 Hull 0 get on it.

I blame Ashley.

It shocked me that the players weren't eating together. Is your avatar some David Icke fantasy btw? It's insignia from a USAF stealth squadron. Very rare as these flight (groom lake) wings don't exist on paper. http://ljmilitaria.com/usafwingspatches/us...0th_to_99th.htm

It's gone up a couple of gears in the last year or so, more often than not you see 15-25 or so members logged on - when in the past it could be as low as 5 or 6.

I bet his house is like a Geordie theme park. Devoted to NUFC. Nicknamed 'Neverland'.

Noisy fuckers too. Not content with lacing the Germans in the war, they've now overtaken them in the poolside volume stakes on holiday too. Total domination. Not to mention the Ski slopes.

Bigger drinkers though.

I know what you're saying is sarcastic towards them but people actually believe it over there. It's like saying Libya were the main players in the troubles in Northern Ireland because they were arming the IRA, not to mention the yank cunts with collection boxes in Boston, and McDonalds. America gave us a few guns because it was in their best interests for us to do the krauts, then they came over 300,000 of them, less than 1/10th of the British forces involved in the push, and claim they saved us, fucking yank mugs. If anyone saved us it was the Russians, keeping them busy and utterly battering them on the other side The Russians were 0-3 down at half time come back and won 8-3 that is what happened on the Eastern Front. Two countries can claim to have WON World War 2, the rest of them, especially America, nah. Correct. Russia tied down 12 divisions and 6 Panzer divisions.

Banksy is basically a copy of Blek Le Rat, a french graf/stencil artist from the 80s. So that would be a resounding fail from Appropriate Media. http://bleklerat.free.fr/ Heard about him before actually. Where's all this shite from btw Parkinstein? First bit is from the Torygraph and second bit from Socialist Worker.

Nabakov was a Russian emigre and Kafka was from Czech. You can keep the rest. Howay man, what about Dan Brown? Thought you might have hit back with Henry Miller.

Socialist Worker: Street art 5: Banksy and guerrilla art Banksy used the Apartheid Wall to paint a better future for Palestine In recent years there has been a renewed interest in street art, coinciding with the rise of the anti-capitalist movement. One element of this is “culture jamming” or “adbusting”, where activists use guerrilla art techniques to subvert the advertising that pervades our society. Adbusting shows up how adverts sell us impossible dreams, by highlighting the massive gap between the promise and reality of consumer products. The British artist Banksy is the most prominent representative of this new trend. His work is now internationally famous – and he is also one of the most explicitly political street artists working today. Banksy’s message is one of opposition to war, the establishment and capitalism. He has travelled to Chiapas – the area of Mexico controlled by the Zapatista revolutionary group – and to Palestine, where he has supported popular struggles for freedom through his art. As part of his work, Banksy carries out stunts that aim to puncture the self-important bubble of the official art world, such as secretly “installing” one of his paintings in the Tate Britain gallery in London. Some of Banksy’s stunts are directly aimed at raising political issues. Last September he dressed an inflatable doll as a Guantanamo Bay prisoner – and then placed the figure within the Big Thunder Mountain Railroad ride at Disneyland in the US. Nevertheless, Banksy’s work also shows up the tensions that street art faces under capitalism. Being a street artist has not prevented him from becoming part of the art market. Some of his works now sell for tens of thousands of pounds. He also sells limited edition prints and exclusive art objects, just like a conventional artist.

"Capitalist created phenomenon"..??

The artwork - titled Mild Mild West - depicts a comic bear throwing a petrol bomb at three cowering policemen on the side of a dilapidated building in Stokes Croft, Bristol. But the artist's work was defaced as it was daubed in red paint by members of a protest group called Appropriate Media. The group claims artists such as Banksy - which it describes as "poor little middle class white boys" - are "gentrifying" urban areas by attracting the liberal elite. As a result, regeneration pushes up house prices and drives out low-income families. It is the second recent attack on Banksy's work - which could mark the beginning of an urban backlash against the street artist's move into the mainstream. A message on the Appropriate Media website labels Banksy a "guffhead of massive proportions" who is cashing in on the "capitalist created phenomenon of 'urban' art". It reads: "Graffiti artists are the performing spray-can monkeys for gentrification. "In collusion with property developers, they paint deprived areas bright colours to indicate the latest funky inner city area ripe for regeneration. "Pushing out low income families in their wake, to be replaced by middle class metrosexuals with their urban art collections." Gosh.

Intruder caught by camera hidden in cereal box An audacious criminal who set up home in a Sydney office block, returning every night after staff left to eat, sleep and shower, has been caught with the aid of a tiny camera hidden in a box of cereal. By Bonnie Malkin in Sydney Last Updated: 10:11AM BST 04 May 2009 Employees at The Marketing Store became suspicious when they were greeted at work each morning by small signs left by the nocturnal visitor. One senior employee noticed his office sofa was a bit crumpled, there was evidence that the staff showers had been used overnight, and up to six bowls a night of cereal was disappearing from the kitchen. Initially, members of staff began to accuse each other of entertaining in the office after hours, but no one could be convinced to come forward. The situation could have continued, had the unwanted guest not become sloppy. "About four weeks ago I came in and it was in a particularly bad state – there were some tablets lying around, and some tobacco or weed on the floor," Doug Chapman, the company's Asia Pacific president, told The Sydney Morning Herald. The mess was reported to the landlord, but security cameras had failed to detect any intruders. It was not until a woman from the company's kitchen came up with the idea of hiding a camera in a cereal box that the mystery was solved. "She knew we were either huge eaters or someone was stealing cereal," Mr Chapman said. "She got a cereal box and hid a small camera inside and put it on a benchtop in the kitchen." The motion-sensitive camera captured clear photos of the intruder, who had slipped into the fifth-floor office via an overhead ventilation panel and left via the fire escape. On his next visit, the man – described "particularly neat" and "very clean cut" – was greeted by a security guard. The company declined to press charges, but warned the unwanted visitor to stay away. Fop caught on camera at last.

Quite right. I can honestly say I shudder when I hear the accent in the flesh. The other irritating thing here is that many Germans have learnt what is called 'American English' and they seem stunned when I inform them that it isn't English. Words like flashlight, elevator, candy, Jello, check (bill), cookie etc just aren't really English words. They've even picked up the will to live wilting habit of ending sentences on a high as if everything they say is a question.

Generally agree, but two footed is tempting the red these days. fwiw I thought that Alonso could have rolled around a bit more and maybe arched his back in pain as if shot.

I think the 433 is better and Martins must play.

Won't happen.
