  1. So all the other 1000 or so peaceful drinkers were idiots. Thanks for the heads up. Seriously man the police almost started the trouble with their behaviour. Water cannon ffs!
  2. A lot ripped directly from (you guess it) though. Still it's looking like the best MS release since Win2000. But what about all these things that take over your machine?
  3. I had a dream last night that Carra was sent off and we won 0-1.
  4. SA had more or less the same shit we have now to work with.
  5. I always stop reading at "America says...." Iran execution provokes outrage. America has the death penalty Fopper. Dozens are exucuted in the South every year. Aye but she almost certainly didn't do it, and they executed her despite a stay of execution order by the judiciary (because she was politically inconvenient and they wanted rid). Te ex-Mrs P worked on death row in South Carolina for a year if you want to trade miscarriages of justice. They ever execute someone with a judicial stay of execution on them? Especially someone that everyone knew was innocent anyway? Just to get them out of the way? They mainly execute blacks of lower than average intelligence who didn't do it and normally around election time. Against a judicial stay of execution? If so then at best they are just as bad as Iran. I'm not aquatinted with the legal frippery, it's just that at election time some blacks must die.

  7. Just in Sternchanze for a few beers. We were outside due to the weather, both sides of the street were lined with peaceful drinkers etc having a nice evening. On this road there is a kind of punk/anarchist collective in a building called Rota Flora and due to the date there was I guess 25-40 odd dressed in black being a bit rowdy - barely being noticed. Out of nowhere riot police and 3 water cannon trucks pulled up at around 9.30 and the little group of ran into the park behind and lobbed a few stones. Locals reckoned it was a yearly show of force by the police. Now and again one or two trouble makers would run upto the trucks and take the piss etc... Really nothing much at all. The cops megaphoned telling everyone in the street to go home , ridiculous asking a street full of peaceful drinkers who done nowt to go home, so nobody moved. About half an hour later they water cannoned the whole street. Ridiculous, cowardly and dangeroud. People literally being thrown against windows by the power of the jet etc.. I got a tiny bit on me leg as I darted into the bar.
  8. Even if it was this isn't 1918, but frankly it's all been exaggerated from the off. Largely by the media, but also Mexican authorities in a panic. It could still be nasty of course (1918 the 2nd mutation was worse). I love it when a good track mutates over time.

  10. The could buy Australia and set up a new world there.

  12. If you read Sham: How the Self-Help Movement Made America Helpless You see, that stuff doesn't appeal either Me neither. I'd never heard of the bloke. I just saw that book amongst the list of criticisms against him on Wikipedia. Proper Wiki Warrior me. You read a fair bit of non-fiction though, don't you irrc? Basically stuff I'd like to read in theory but can't be arsed to in practice (Naomi Klein, etc.). Aye. I love that shit. About 75% of my 'to read' shelf is non-fiction. Though I still like a bit of fiction. Just read Metamorphosis last week which was funnier than I expected. Just getting towards the end of Shantaram now too. Which has been epic. I'm reading Shantaram atm.

    As above as it is below.
  14. One day he may actually make a move that looks like it has the clubs best interests at heart yes. Thing is Im nearly 40 and not sure I'll be around to see that day, more worryingly Im fairly confident that this football club wont be around either if he continues. And Im not sure he does have good intentions, Im interested to know what outsiders see as his good intentions. He's been whimsical, reckless, huffy, foolhardy and that was just the first month.
  15. Goal difference might be the difference this year. So very imp to keep the goals down.
  16. While all this was distracting us they did something real bad.
  17. all a mere footnote in history in comparison to the passing of a god. That overtaking on the outside in the rain. Will never forget that.
  18. Has anyone anywhere in authority actually stated that this strain is any more dangerous than the normal strains that go around. The Germans are adamant that the Mexicans are clueless and nobody would have died if it had been in Germany.
  19. None apparrently! Go on, give him a go. You have nothing to lose ane EVERYTHING to gain. Isn't the idea of life to find one's own way?
  20. It frightens me how many don't see past the basics. I've got a friend here who is a 'healer' and people pay money to him for chats and the like. He's completely clueless and often divulges to me how he totally 'lucked out' with this 'healing thing'.
  21. If he moves into my territory he dies.
  22. My hero, why the twat tag? The way he goes on, the shite he spouts. To each his own like. How the fuck anyone believes that self-help patter is beyond me though. But have you tried it? If you like him mate, that's down to you, as I said. I perceive him as a con man though. It's obvious to me not everyone can achieve their goals by reading his books. How can everyone possibly be successful in life, business etc.? It's just Californian pyscho-bullshit imo. Fair enough, but you usually come across as the sort of person who does not dismiss a subject without fact or reason. If you ever get bored and at a loss, buy one of his books (awaken the giant within) off ebay for a couple of quid and I guarantee you that after one chapter, if nothing else, you will no longer view him as "Californian pyscho-bullshit". If you or anyone else prefers, theres also a very good audi book called get the edge on mininova. What's he saying Chrissy?
  23. Lloyds bank chief Eric Daniels given £3.8m to stay on Eric Daniels, chief executive of Lloyds Banking Group, was awarded shares worth £3.8m last year to prevent him leaving. The first annual report of Lloyds Banking Group, formed when Lloyds TSB acquired HBOS, also shows that the bank considered boosting potential bonus awards for Daniels and other executives following the deal, which doubled the size of the bank to give it one of the biggest balance sheets in the world. But the bank, which is 43% owned by the taxpayer, admitted yesterday that it had backed away from the idea and was instead almost halving the potential size of share awards for board directors. Daniels, who tripped up at a Treasury select committee meeting in February by saying he was on a "relatively modest salary" of £1m, waived his entitlement to a cash bonus in 2008 after the government injected a total £17.5bn into the enlarged bank. The American is still potentially able to receive about £5m in salary and bonus for 2009 if he hits all performance targets. The report shows he took home £1.1m last year, down from £2.8m in 2007, while his pension pot increased by £385,000. He and other executive directors will leave the final-salary scheme in 2012. The report shows that Mike Fairey, the deputy chief executive who retired in June before the HBOS deal, took a £6.9m cash payment out of his pension, some £4.5m of which was tax-free
  24. And happier I'd wager.
