RIP - Stereophonics wernt my cup of tea but some on here might find this of interest Ex-Stereophonics drummer Stuart Cable believed dead Stuart Cable A 40-year-old man has been found dead at the home of musician Stuart Cable A 40-year-old man - believed to be ex-Stereophonics drummer Stuart Cable - has been found dead at his home. Emergency services attended Mr Cable's house at Llwydcoed near Aberdare, Cynon Valley, at 0500 BST on Monday. South Wales Police said the cause of death had not been established but there were no suspicious circumstances at this stage. Mr Cable, who left the Stereophonics in 2003, had hosted his rock show on BBC Radio Wales on Saturday. He had formed a new band called Killing for Company, who were due to play at Donington Park on Saturday. The band's new album is due for release shortly. His former band Stereophonics played at Cardiff City Stadium on Saturday. Stereophonics were formed in Cwmaman near Aberdare in 1992 by school friends Kelly and Richard Jones along with Cable, who was four years older. Within five years they were rising stars, supporting bands such as the Rolling Stones and U2 Cable has said he was planning to leave the band before he was sacked in September 2003. He had said he had no regrets about leaving the band.

and therein lies the question. I know a lot of people on here would rather slit their own wrists than trust them. Its gonna happen tho. bad times ahead methinks.

possibly, but maybe you are looking at the 'left leaning' sites as you call them because they are backing your predjudices? totally agree with you about Parky tho Anyway, from the Telegraph "Coalition government: the Canadian cuts model that the Tories wish to emulate In the early 1990s the Canadian government faced a serious financial crisis, with a $39 billion budget deficit - representing 9.1 per cent of GDP. Canada's cost-cutting programme saw its science budget halved, while agricultural subsidies, overseas aid and transport were also badly hit But a swift and effective cost-cutting programme turned this deficit into a surplus within five years, while pulling the country out of recession and into economic growth. Between 1992 and 1996 central government departments saw their budgets cut by an average of 20 per cent. Aware that efficiency savings and pay freezes alone would be insufficient, the prime minister Jean Chrétien ordered that all non-essential national government spending be cut. A handful of sectors – such as benefits for the elderly – were spared or saw their budgets increased, but only at the expense of more painful reductions elsewhere. The science budget was halved, while agricultural subsidies, overseas aid and transport were also badly hit. Under a system called Program Review, a committee of senior civil servants demanded that all departments nominate spending programmes that a lean national government should not be funding. They scrutinised these plans and recommended which schemes should be axed to a second committee of ministers, which in turn advised the prime minister. This collegiate approach muffled dissent from ministers who resented cuts to their budgets, by putting them at the centre of the decision-making process. The process was devised to alter the way the country thought about state spending, by exposing subsidies which were not essential. Marcel Massé, the cabinet office minister in charge of the ministerial committee, said the Program Review identified “what needs to be done by government and what we can afford to do”. By releasing details of the spending programmes and public sector salaries approved by Labour, and establishing a "star chamber" to advise on potentially controversial cuts, Mr Cameron is taking inspiration from the Canadian model. As provincial governments saw their health grants slashed, thousands of nurses were sacked and hospital waiting times soared. The shortage of new buildings also led to overcrowding and higher infection rates on wards. But Canadians credit the success of the programme to speed and depth of the cuts. The previous government of Brian Mulroney, a Conservative, had failed to reduce the deficit with a more cautious approach. Jocelyne Bourgon, cabinet secretary for the Canadian civil service at the time, said: "It is preferable to move expeditiously. It creates hope at the end of the tunnel." As the Canadian deficit fell the economy returned to growth, after shrinking by 2.1 per cent in 1991. Between 1992 and 1997 the tax burden increased only slightly, by 0.3 per cent." Fairly drastic but if it works................................

he didnt buy me one, the cunt!

I think that's the best thing about a place like this. Some people might ignore subjects unless they feel versed in them to a professional standard, but if I find a topic interesting I'll always google it and try to get involved, even if i have no clue (more often than not) cos that's how you learn more about it. I've learned shitloads from the sites I'd never otherwise visit unless it was to counter someone or other on here. To be fair to him, CT is one of the few posters willing to admit he's not sure about something and I don't think the threads where he's a lone WUM ever spiral into the bunfights previous wum's have descended to. If I do I tend to stick to authorative websites like government ones or the BBC. Each to their own, but I don't think you can learn anything meaningful if your source material is inherently biased. you dont think government websites are inherently biased towards themselves (ie. the government)?? And also didnt the bbc admit to being left wing biased not so long ago? I think you'll get more objective answers if you search the net. as long as you dont end up at www.iamamarxist.com or www.bnp.co.uk

christ man, pipe down! you're making a fool of yourself! the point is Renton, you are deluded. you try and convince yourself that just because someone asked a question to which the questionee didnt know the answer is in some way a 'victory' or a 'meritous occasion' for the party of the questioner. believe me it isnt a big deal or even an unusual occurance at PMQ.

very nice, how much? Just over 2k. Lush that like GR, but over 2k? for a watch?? An AWFUL lot of money! heres me thinking we were in the depths of depression!

Im confused Renton, I believed you when you said that you believed you were at the center of british politics not so long ago? now your saying you're staunch left wing? So in other words, you were lying when you said that?? or have i got the wrong end of the stick here?? Will the real Renton please stand up, please stand up, please stand up............. etc. tbh, Both CT and Renton are as bad as each other in this thread with neither willing to take a backward step.

Been to Fumes before for a big family night out (mothers 60th). It was shit with a capital 'S'! Cramped and basically the food was crap (and overpriced imo)! Fantastic location tho!

absolutely terrifying if true. means we'll have to start with shola and best up front next season :icon_lol: :o :o

No

R.I.P.

Aye, one of GB's finer moments when he was chancellor.

Ive got a big brother.

LM has a point tho. The guardian has SLATED us (Nufc fans) for being proper racist cunts (which many on here quite rightly feel EXTREMELY strongly about). However, when a 'right wing rag' to quote Renton blows the whistle on a dirty old bastard who obviously wants 'his whistle blown' from a so called lady many years younger than himself, you all get hot under the collar? Quite frankly the whole 'NUFC banning the Mail' thing stinks of ( a ) oportunism and ( b ) lost profit for the fat fucka in charge! And quite frankly, getting a lecture from Lineker, that paragon of virtue who recently left his lass and disabled bairn for a younger, tighter model is the ultimate in hypocrisy. All in all, everyone involved in this sordid tale is as bad as the next.

imo, Wheaters got the lot for a CB. Big, strong, quick(ish) and good in the air. I reckon he's going to be an England squad regular once Terry and Rio are fucked.

MY GOD!! WE AGREE ON SOMETHING!!

isnt this the same kind of sentiment that was expressed before the Korea war in the 50's?

I've done no excercise whatsoever for at least a year apart from some occasional chin ups when i remember too. Just done 20 pushups although when i was doing them regular i could easily manage 30+. I might give this a go.

there you go. read and enjoy! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zenith_%28comics%29

Dreadful! RIP!

I love the whole 'comic book' graphic novel stuff. did anybody else read the 'Zenith' series that was published in 2000ad in the 90's(?). got the whole set of graphic novels afterwards. Rivetting stuff!

watching 'RIP Paul Gray' on Scuzz channel right now Sky 374 Edit. Raising a glass of Jagermeister right about now!

R.I.P.
