Deco to Chelsea has gone through.

I did read it, the result is that you're still talking shite, quelle surprise!

No, but then it is pretty difficult to use child labour in Microsoft's market isn't it? If it were actually possibly to use child sweatshop coding then I wouldn't have been surprised to see it. So are you being "deliberately awkward" in that comparison or "unknowingly dim"? My point is that he isn't using child labour, whether it would be possible to do so or not is irrelevant. Your point is that you have no point - i.e. you're being deliberately awkward I guess. My point is that Bill Gates hasn't done anything so terrible to be deserving of your 'wrath' or mockery of his fine philanthropic gesture.

"The Bill Gates I'm Really A Nice Guy Look Fund" You can never win in the eyes of some though. I think you can safely say that in all the history of the world only maybe Alexander the Great did a better job of personal winning than Bill Gates. I'm just saying Microsoft is built upon the most "unethical" (i.e. most ruthless, illegal, destructive, and self-centred) business model around - and it has worked very well. So suddenly starting to "give away" money, when you have more than you could EVER spend, that has been made in such a manner.... well lets just say he's got a big job to dig himself out of his karmic hole before he's even on to positive ground. The key word there is business and Microsoft is hardly on a par with those companies who use child labour in their manufacturing, I think you're being deliberately awkward once again.

What an excellent tournament and good to see that the winners come from the 1st/2nd strongest league in Europe, perhaps this indicates that the influx of foreign players has affected England the most and perhaps it is England's problem rather than Sepp Blatter's.

Any word on if he wants them? Remember I can have the money to you within the hour.

And spitting her gum at them too apparently: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/artic...bury-crowd.html Lovely girl really.

Fucking hell, finally got through the whole lot of these. Wasn't too impressed with the first few series tbh but from 4 on it was fucking magnificent. I preferred the 2nd last episode to the finale myself though I thought the way they left it was perfect, especially as I had myself prepared for a Tony death scene the whole way through. Fucking gutted that it's over now.

Yo yo he's got 99 problems but your opinion ain't one! Westwood is in effect u need this in your life!! Brapppppppppppppppp brappppppppppppppp I think he's canny, but live rap is rarely any good. Agreed but a live band helps big time, the MTV Live he did with The Roots was pretty decent.

Good to see Winehouse's recent health scares have prompted her to kick the habit. Fucked off her face on there now.

Good point.

Out of our league imo, still, there's no harm in trying I suppose.

As I have said countless times in the past, I'm not going to get into a discussion with you on the old board as we all know your steadfast views. All I will say is that when Ashley took over the club out debt was nearing unmanageable status, simple as that.
-
No thanks, didn't look like he fancied it in England last time and don't see why that would change.

exactly. Then the usual swipe follows which completely contradicts yourself. Debt free business or Champions League football ? As I said before, it's not black and white, certain levels of manageable debt are fine, what we had when Ashley took over was not manageable. Well, the stadium debt was well structured and financed, all the experts have said this. If you are talking about cutting the wage bill, then cutting wages of current players is not the way to go, and neither is allowing the best players to go elsewhere for more money. Catch 22 , in the real world. Do you want Champions League football or not ? Why don't you ask that to the fans of Leeds Utd? Things had spiralled out of control under Freddy, surely you'll agree that we had (and still have) too many average players on huge, undeserved wages. We were heading for a meltdown, we would've been forced to sell players at huge knock downs because of their wages and I really dread to think what would've happened after that.

Right, I'm after: Bringing Out the Dead Dogma Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas Great Escape, The North by Northwest Once Upon a Time in Mexico Quiz Show Requiem for a Dream Seven Sting, The Wicker Man, The Still available? If so price me up inc. P&P. Cheers.

The new one looks a bit better.

Complete and utter bollocks, it's factors such as the CL which have seen football turned into a business and businesses carry debt, no big fucking deal. It'd be interesting to see how much NUFC is technically 'in debt' to Mike Ashley.

The lady doth protest too much methinks.
