yes they are white, but why draw attention to the colour? If I was to draw attention to a group of peoples colour when reporting, say a crime, i would be called racist. why not just call it 'Angry Men'? Because it's about angry white men. racist

They've got Leazes and Stevie bang on The author discusses the report here... Angry White Men Meh....... expecting impartiality from a BBC report is like asking LM about the Shepherd era. It's not a BBC report, it's an abstract for the report... http://www.politicalstudies.org/forthcomingissue.asp The BBC link is to an interview with the author. The report is going to be in the next edition of the Political Studies journal. My bad. I think the title of the report is a bit provocative tho.............. Imagine it had been called 'Angry Black Men' or 'Angry Asian Men' and it was about disafected people who were feeling threated by changes they couldnt control and felt that those in power wouldnt listen to their concerns? The people lining up to call the authour 'Racist' would be huge.

I thought you WERE the Intellectual Elite???? (well the closest thing to it on this Board anyway...............) ;) The leaders of the Russian revolution were all intellectuals. yeah, and that worked out REALLY well, didnt it? (the squiggle formerly know as sarcmark)

good player. sign him up!

have you still got a turntable? (must have a headphones socket). 1. get audacity off the net. its free so dont worry 2. run a lead from your headphone socket to your pc mic input (small jackplug) 3. run audacity. go into project and select 'new stereo track' 4. start the record and press the record button in audacity.(make sure the input level is ok) 5. do the same for side B you'll have to split the tracks manually but its a piece of piss to do. make sure you use the 'export as Mp3' option when saving the individual track. hope this helps edit: just remembered you'll also need to download something called the 'LAME mp3 encoder'. it explains how to do it on the audacity site. (iirc)

been pulled out of the squad tonight.

Very true. I wouldnt drink draught carling. thats just a one way street to pukesville!!

Scientists exaggerated impact of climate change, says Government's chief adviser Professor John Beddington: Scientists should be more open about uncertainty Scientists have exaggerated the impact of climate change and need to be more honest about how difficult it is to predict, the Government’s chief scientific adviser said today. Professor John Beddington added that experts should be less hostile to sceptics who question man-made global warming. And he condemned those who refuse to publish full report data, adding that public confidence in climate science would be boosted by greater honesty about its uncertainties. Professor Beddington was speaking in the wake of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change’s (IPCC) admission that it had made a mistake by claiming that Himalayan glaciers could melt away by 2035. That followed the 'Climategate' row over whether researchers at East Anglia University manipulated evidence to support a theory of man-made global warming. An investigation is now looking at leaked email exchanges to see if there is any evidence of manipulation or suppression of data which would call into question the research findings of the university's Climatic Research Unit. The centre's director Professor Phil Jones has stood down from the post while the inquiry takes place. ‘I don’t think it’s healthy to dismiss proper scepticism. Science grows and improves in the light of criticism,’ Professor Beddington said. 'There is a fundamental uncertainty about climate change prediction that can’t be changed.’ He said that the false claim in the IPCC’s 2007 report revealed a wider problem with the way that some evidence was presented. ‘Certain unqualified statements have been unfortunate. We have a problem in communicating uncertainty,’ he told The Times. ‘There’s definitely an issue there. If there wasn’t, there wouldn’t be the level of scepticism. All of these predictions have to be caveated by saying, “There’s a level of uncertainty about that”.’ Himalayan glaciers: Claims they will melt by 2035 were not backed up, the UN said Professor Beddington also said that large-scale climate modelling using computers resulted in ‘quite substantial uncertainties’ that should be communicated. He said: ‘It’s unchallengeable that CO2 traps heat and warms the Earth and that burning fossil fuels shoves billions of tonnes of CO2 into the atmosphere. But where you can get challenges is on the speed of change. ‘When you get into large-scale climate modelling there are quite substantial uncertainties. On the rate of change and the local effects, there are uncertainties both in terms of empirical evidence and the climate models themselves.’ Urging scientists to release their data to their critics, he said: ‘I think, wherever possible, we should try to ensure there is openness and that source material is available for the whole scientific community.

Socialism in ACTION!!

no bad heed, no pisses in the night, grotty mouth this morning. It was all worth it!!!!!

and there you have the problem. They, incredibly, STILL don't see ....... Anyway, please tell me what is wrong with hoping someone will come in and repeat what we did under the Halls and Shepherd. Don't you ? Do you think Ridsdale made a mess at Leeds? do you think the Leeds supporters didn't enjoy the Champs League run or do you think they would have preferred to be an up and down club like the mackems were ? Thats a ridiculous question and one which Hall and Shepherd bashers frequently ask as a stick to beat them with. I can quite categorically tell you that our period under the Halls and Shepherd beat the crap out of the "settle for mediocrity" eras which preceded it going back to the 1950's. I've said in my post above that they'd have thoroughly enjoyed it...and that we thoroughly enjoyed our shorter less succesful period in the spotlight. Enjoying something and it being wrong are not mutually exclusive. Actually, it's usually the opposite. I enjoy smoking a crack pipe, but the long term health benefits are debateable at best. You seem to think the crack pipe, as well as providing instant and enjoyable thrills, is also one of your five a day. Football is all about striving for success to your utmost capability. If you don't accept this or want it, there is no point in being a football supporter. Ask the mackems and a host of other clubs if they would have swapped their nothing existence to ours for those 15 years. I am telling you now that they would all swap it just like anybody else who has experienced true mediocrity the likes of which we are experiencing now. Would you like new owners to lift the club back to where we were under the Halls and Shepherd or not ? So that's a yes, you do think Ridsdale was a good chairman. Actually, I blame O'Leary too, but give me someone with ambition than someone happy to run a yoyo nothing club anyday. Would you have swapped our 15 years under the Halls and Shepherd for the mackem years under Bob Murray for instance or the vast majority of other premiership clubs who also got absolutely nowhere ? The kind of ambition that led to them dropping to the third division for the first time in their history. I wouldn't have swapped those first five years under Hall and Shepherd for much else. The ten years after that was only rarely even close to that though. You can repeat your 15 year mantra all you like, but as I said earlier, in the ten years Shepherd was at the helm we finished in the bottom half more than we finished in the top half. The fact we kept spending money like we were in the champions league was often more idiocy than ambition. Pathetic that people pick up on a very rare occurence such as happened at Leeds to demean the intentions of the Halls and Shepherd such is their desperation to sling anything possible at them. Point is, getting to the Champions League might be something that only happens once in a lifetime, it certainly hasn't happened to any of us yet, do if you seriously think that existing in the top league at best and not attempting it is better you are very sad and I certainly would never agree that you should settle for it. You will be trying to tell me next that you would swap the last 15 years of a club like Everton or Fulham for ours just because they are currently in the premiership and we are not. What a load of bollocks. Leeds was a rare occurence because most chairmen won't risk the long term future of the club for a brief European trip. It's happening more and more with the likes of Portsmouth and West ham in the shit big style. We never spent a great deal to challenge for ther title and get champions league football. We showed ambition but did so by supporting a proven manager only with the funds we could afford. Up to the point we signed Tino and Shearer the balance sheet was down by less than £13m. That's because we didn't go around throwing stupid money around. We bought well and trebled our money on the likes of Andy Cole. Building an entire squad on £13m and offsetting £7m on one player isn't throwing money at the situation like Shepherd did in later years. I wouldn't swap the challenges for anything less than a succesful campaign ....your belief that such enjoyable times were built on precariously extended purse strings are completely wrong. and you, can't apply hindsight which is easy for anybody to do. Who's using hindsight? The whole point of you bringing up this tired argument is that people (me included) weren't happy with how Shepherd ran the club when he was in charge and you wouldn't hear a word against him. We've been having the same argument for years. indeed. You can't say you would swap it for a successful campaign because nobody knows if it will be successful, how dumb is that ? Besides, the vast majority of clubs would say qualifying for the champs League and playing in europe was successful. You would yourself now wouldn't you You're the one who asked if, in hindsight, i'd swap it for what the mackems had, dipshit! I've never said i wasn't happy with what success we had, however you define it. But I'll repeat myself again and remind you that most of that success was built on a solid foundation of spending within our means at the time, and to a large degree selling players to subsidise new purchases. Gosh, this post is extremely long isnt it?

fuckin hell Craig. What package are you on?? I think this belongs to you

6 cans of carling. bad heed alert!!!

not great. definatley NOT what im supposed to be getting. Fuckin SKY

Nice!!

Nolan needs to score a goal to justify his place in too many games for my liking. Having said that, he has scored some vital goals. It is the injury to Taylor that could cost us we need to replace him and we need another striker to push on and stay in the top 2. With no sales of current first team players, especially Enrique or Guitierez yeah well he (Nolan) might get a game in his prefered position now (deep striker) instead of waddling about the center of the park. every time hes played up front this season he's looked very good. "deep striker" is a strange term, he doesn't have the stamina to actually play in midfield and get up to support the strikers quickly which leaves us a man short in midfield sometimes. At this level though the system works but it or he would not be good enough to make this system work at the higher level. I am disappointed in him to be honest, he isn't as good as I thought he was at Bolton. I think he's got the stamina (and skill) but not the pace, balance or movement to be a box to box player. this is why we struggle so badly against quick passing teams when he's in center mid. imo, the reason he looked so good at bolton was the system they played was built around him and Davies. neither may be world beaters individually but together they were extremely effective.

maybe we could get gay boy Ambrose back. top scorer for them this season iirc?
