  1. Fuck me, you should be blind and have absolutely no finger/hand prints. Just a glass like smooth hand shape with that beast It's nearly full
  2. Harewood takes the vacant number 10 shirt.
  3. Robson clubs ready to pay tribute Ipswich and Newcastle will pay tribute to their former manager Sir Bobby Robson when they meet on Saturday. Robson died in July aged 76, and the players of both clubs will wear commemorative shirts in his honour. The shirts will later be auctioned off for Robson's cancer charity, while 709 balloons will also be released for each game he managed Ipswich. The North Stand at Portman Road will also be renamed the Sir Bobby Robson Stand by his wife and two sons. A parade of former Ipswich players and coaching staff will also precede the match. Saturday's further tributes to one of English football's most respected figures follow the memorial service held at Durham Cathedral on Monday. "I'm sure it's going to be an enjoyable day for the supporters," said Ipswich boss Roy Keane ahead of the Championship fixture, which will be screened live on BBC One at 1730 BST. "I think it's going to be a cracking game from our point of view - that's what we need to and that's what we need to stay focused on. "We need to go out and get a victory and make it an even more enjoyable day for our supporters." Robson took over as manager at Ipswich in 1969 and led the East Anglian club to victory in the 1978 FA Cup and 1981 Uefa Cup, while also finishing second on two occasions in old First Division before taking over as England boss in 1982. Keane took charge at Portman Road during the summer but is still searching for his first win after eight games, with his side second bottom of the table. "I'm clearly disappointed," said Keane. "We knew it was going to be tough but we certainly expected to have more points than what we have. We have to put that right over the next few weeks and months ahead. "You have to believe. If the manager of your football club is not positive then what chance have you got? "Realistically, the beauty of the Championship - and why it's so interesting for lots of teams - is that sixth place (the final play-off spot) is always within reach. "Despite our disappointing start we are nine points behind the play-offs and that is a positive spin. But, of course, that gap will get wider the longer we go without winning. "We need to win some football matches to get confidence and some momentum, which is massive in football." Newcastle have made a strong start to their campaign as they look to get promotion back into the Premier League at the first attempt. Magpies caretaker manager has bolstered his side with the loan signing of striker Marlon Harewood, who is expected to figure against Ipswich. "They've got a very good squad and as you would expect with any team that comes down from the Premier League, particularly when they have a good start, they always have a great chance," added Keane. "Despite one or two injuries that they have, they've got vast experience and have signed the boy Harewood from Aston Villa. "They are a big strong team and what they have and what you need, particularly in the Championship, is that experience in vital areas of the park. It is a good test for some of our younger players."
  4. I've got the same drive, it's quick and quiet, only complaint is that there is no off switch, if you want to power it down you need to unplug it, excellent other than that ! Good price too, mine cost £90 last year.
  5. The fight is in Germany so Haye will require a knockout to get a draw
  6. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/education/8270475.stm A university leader has caused controversy by saying curvy female students are a "perk of the job". Terence Kealey, of the University of Buckingham, said lecturers were aware of females who "flaunted their curves". In a tongue-in-cheek article for Times Higher Education Magazine on the seven deadly sins of academia, he advised academics to "look but not touch". The National Union of Students condemned the comments as insulting and disrespectful to women. Dr Kealey, a clinical bio-chemist and vice-chancellor of Buckingham University, likened the classroom to a lap dancing club and said admiring the curves of attractive students could help "spice up" marital sex. There will be a girl in class who flashes her admiration... Enjoy her! She's a perk. Dr Kealey In his article about the sin of lust, Dr Kealey wrote: "Most male lecturers know that, most years, there will be a girl in class who flashes her admiration and who asks for advice on her essays. "What to do? Enjoy her! She's a perk." Referring to characters from Middlemarch by George Eliot and The History Man by Malcolm Bradbury, he added: "She doesn't yet know that you are only Casaubon to her Dorothea, Howard Kirk to her Felicity Phee, and she will flaunt you her curves. "Which you should admire daily to spice up your sex, nightly, with the wife." Dr Kealey recalled the days when sex between student and tutor, in return for academic favours, could go by unchecked. "Thanks to the accountability imposed by the Quality Assurance Agency [the university watchdog] and other intrusive bodies, the days are gone when a scholar could trade sex for upgrades." 'Appalled' Olivia Bailey, womens' officer for the NUS , said: "I am appalled that a university vice-chancellor should display such an astounding lack of respect for women. "Regardless of whether this was an attempt at humour, it is completely unacceptable for someone in Terence Kealey's position to compare a lecture theatre to a lap dancing club, and I expect that many women studying at Buckingham University will be feeling extremely angry and insulted at these comments." Dr Kealey said he was using humour to warn against lust His article has prompted a lively debate on the Times Higher Education website. "I'm amazed that Terence K has a position in any university, and I'll be damn sure never to apply for a job at Buckingham," said one reader. Another added: "Any scholar, who assumes that female students who show interest in the subject and ask for help because they have a crush on you or hope to manipulate you with their sexual charms, is a reality-challenged idiot. "And anyone who thinks that female students are there in the classroom expressly as objects of the instructor's viewing pleasure needs to retire." But another said: "I'm appalled that everyone's so appalled! - it's just not that important, or offensive." Humour Adding his own voice to the online debate, Dr Kealey said his article was a "moral piece" which used humour to encourage people to exercise self-restraint. "Sex between academics and students is not funny, and should not be a source of humour," he wrote. "But employing humour to highlight the ways by which people try to resolve the dissonance between what is publicly expected of them and how they actually feel - not just in this context - reaches back to origins of humour itself." A spokesman for the University and College Union said: "Harassment is not something to be taken lightly and I would be surprised, and deeply concerned, if any university, or vice-chancellor, tried to laugh it off." Dr Kealey has been vice-chancellor at Buckingham - the UK's only independent university - since 2001.
  7. What he said! Think the Ibrahimovic, Eto'o will turn out a very good move. Looking like a horrendous move at the minute. Ive seen 3 or 4 Barca games this season and hes fluffed chances in all of them 4 in 4 for Barcelona so far, not bad for Serie A's top goal scorer last season
  8. Well done mate. excellent news !
  9. Immortality only 20 years away says scientist Scientist Ray Kurzweil claims humans could become immortal in as little as 20 years' time through nanotechnology and an increased understanding of how the body works. By Amy Willis Published: 11:23AM BST 22 Sep 2009 Ray Kurzweil claims we could all be cyborgs in 20 years. The 61-year-old American, who has predicted new technologies arriving before, says our understanding of genes and computer technology is accelerating at an incredible rate. He says theoretically, at the rate our understanding is increasing, nanotechnologies capable of replacing many of our vital organs could be available in 20 years time. Mr Kurzweil adds that although his claims may seem far-fetched, artificial pancreases and neural implants are already available. Mr Kurzweil calls his theory the Law of Accelerating Returns. Writing in The Sun, Mr Kurzweil said: "I and many other scientists now believe that in around 20 years we will have the means to reprogramme our bodies' stone-age software so we can halt, then reverse, ageing. Then nanotechnology will let us live for ever. "Ultimately, nanobots will replace blood cells and do their work thousands of times more effectively. "Within 25 years we will be able to do an Olympic sprint for 15 minutes without taking a breath, or go scuba-diving for four hours without oxygen. "Heart-attack victims – who haven't taken advantage of widely available bionic hearts – will calmly drive to the doctors for a minor operation as their blood bots keep them alive. "Nanotechnology will extend our mental capacities to such an extent we will be able to write books within minutes. "If we want to go into virtual-reality mode, nanobots will shut down brain signals and take us wherever we want to go. Virtual sex will become commonplace. And in our daily lives, hologram like figures will pop in our brain to explain what is happening. "So we can look forward to a world where humans become cyborgs, with artificial limbs and organs."
  10. I enjoy Barcelona but I wouldn't say I support them, I just find their brand of football the most appealing to the eye, its the way football should be played.
  11. was fantastic in the Championship, not sure if he'll be as good in the Premier league though.
  12. Nice gesture from Barcelona, Joan Laporta the club President made the effort to attend.
  13. He's been disappointing for me this time, he's usually lethal, that's why I went for Luca Toni, got him for £5m.
  14. whats ur team My Newcastle team ? Harper Enrique, Taylor, Coloccini, Lauren Daniel Aquino, Stephen Appiah, Nolan/Guti, RTaylor Ranger/Cardozo, Luca Toni.

  16. Saw Dave Gorman last week, he was excellent !
  17. Diouf in ball-boy probe Blackburn forward El-Hadji Diouf has been interviewed by police following allegations made by a ball-boy at Goodison Park. Everton ran out 3-0 winners in a dominant display as former Liverpool player Diouf was subject to a series of boos from the home crowd. The winger was seemingly involved in a verbal altercation with a ball-boy during the first half of the game after the youngster appeared to throw an out-of-play ball towards him with particular venom. The Senegalese international then directed words towards the individual bringing sarcastic cheers from the Everton faithful. Diouf then suffered further abuse from home fans, and again when he went to take two corners in the area of the original incident. After the match police interviewed Diouf at the stadium before the Blackburn team left the ground. A spokesman for Merseyside Police said: "We are looking into an allegation that a 28-year-old man used racist language at the Everton match today."
