Crikey, we're fucken awesome! 147891[/snapback]

Are there any vacancy's ?

I hate Gulls, aka the greater arsed shite-hawk, with a passion, I work just yards from the sea and am often dive bombed during the nesting season if I need to go to our stores area.

I can just imagine people being able to exchange 5 squirrel pelts for a tenner at the post office ! I'd buy an air rifle myself !!

Should I put the kettle on ? 147563[/snapback] "Man Shot by police in self defence- he was about to attack us with a boiling container of strange biochemical fluid which was prepared from biological substances imported into this country from S Asia a spokesman said - we decided to lay waste to the whole area for a mile around just in case" 147689[/snapback] Nuking the town would be the only right and proper countermeasure tbh !

Bounties should be paid for the shooting or trapping of grey squirrels, according to a Conservative MSP. Murdo Fraser said consideration must be given to such measures to preserve numbers of native red squirrels. The party's deputy leader said that only suitably qualified people with shotgun licences, like gamekeepers, would get the money. However, an animal protection group said the proposal would lead to "carnage in the countryside". Scotland is reported to be home to more than 75% of the UK's red squirrel population, however, they have been under threat of being displaced by the non-native grey. Scottish Natural Heritage has announced plans for a cull in areas including the north east, Argyll, Loch Lomond and the Highlands, where reds are most under threat and grey squirrels are being shot on sight by patrols in the Borders. Bounties have previously been paid in the UK but the system was abandoned in the 1950s because of abuse. Mid Scotland and Fife MSP Mr Fraser said the smaller population could be wiped out unless action is taken and a bounty of a few pounds per grey should be on offer. He has lodged a motion in the Scottish Parliament seeking the backing of fellow MSPs for his proposal. He said: "Scotland's red squirrel is now under serious threat from a foreign invader. "Areas such as Perthshire and Angus are now the frontline for the red squirrel and we are seeing their numbers under threat in these areas." On the proposal for bounties, he said: "It may seem like a drastic step, but the seriousness of the current situation cannot be underestimated. "Paying bounties to gamekeepers and others to eradicate the grey squirrel in areas where they threaten red squirrels would be a positive and imaginative step to try and tackle this serious issue." Ross Minett, director of Advocates for Animals, said: "This is an absolutely ridiculous idea and it would lead to carnage in the countryside with every man and his dog out to raise cash from the killing of squirrels. "Mr Fraser obviously hasn't studied ecology because if he had he would realise that the grey squirrel is here to stay and killing them in vast numbers is not going to remove them. "It would be a complete waste of time and taxpayers' money."

Cheers, I'd hate to be sitting umungst the "Deliverance" mob.

Up yours Mackem !

Good news for me, the Toon will play Norwich City on July 26th in Craig Flemings testimonial, Norwich is only 30 miles from here, hopefully I can get a ticket for the away end !!

With Crouch's booking and Walcott's knock, its looking even more idiotic !

Aye come on the Samurai !

I'd agree, but you have to ask questions of the intelligence coming in as it seems there as many false alarms as sucessful raids. 147576[/snapback] I totally agree.

How do you discover a talent like that ??

Defender moves mooted for Magpies 2006-06-11 17:52 Newcastle United are being strongly linked with a move for Preston North End defender Tyrone Mears. The exciting full-back is a target of seven Premiership clubs and Magpies boss Glenn Roeder is reportedly ready to table a £3million bid for the player. Meanwhile Newcastle defender Stephen Carr could be heading out of St James's Park, according to recent media claims. West Ham United and Charlton are both said to be interested in the 29-year-old, who is reportedly keen on moving back to the capital.

Fat chance of that now !

Should I put the kettle on ?

Quality finish by Robben

That reminds me, I must buy some Jaffa cakes.

He's from Crewe. I'm far from convinced about Ashton, I work with a lot of Norwich City season ticket holders and most of them were delighted that Ashton was sold, most considered him a fat lazy player who was very selective in which matches he performed in.

You'd still think the same if you were that man, would you? 147334[/snapback] I'm looking at the bigger picture, and as I said before, if it takes a few mistakes in order to stop a major terrorist act than as unfortunate as it is for a very few individuals, then so be it. 147335[/snapback] Ok if we shoot you as well? 147506[/snapback] Yeah, knock yourself out !

2-1, Diving Chelski cheat scores.

Saviola's goal was class.

Clive Tildsley's pronunciation of Kallstrom as "chillstrom" is getting on my tits.

Agree completely! We've just won the first game and yet everyone will be down beat because we can see the very genuine risk that Sven will fuck up the best chance we have had of winning in god knows how long. Even putting aside his inept tactics and ludicrous substitutions we have the ever present risk that Rooney doesn't make it, makes it but struggles or gets a kick and is out, combined with the risk of Owen getting injured at anytime and we suddenly find ourselves with Crouch and an unproven kid or playing midfielders out of position. I actually had no problem with Wallcott going, he's an exciting talent and his pace coming off the bench could prove useful, but i would have Defoe in my squad not Jenas in which case Wallcott's inclusion is fine. But Sven being the negative manager he is brings a pointless midfielder instead of the extra striker we need. I'm just hoping the player do it inspite of him which they could yet do. Or the less likely option he secretly admits to himself he fucked up and that he has to change his ways, but just doesn't admit it publically, but i won't hold my breath. 147404[/snapback] Also baffling is the cockney press, who, when he got the job, announced that Sven was a winner, a "proper coach", and hugely more talented than the "tactically inept" Keegan. The same people who now slate him for his negative approach, which has shone right through his time as England manager. 147410[/snapback] I think even Keegan would have got the substitutions right today, at least he could have motivated them ! which is something Sven has dificulty with !

Never finished above eighth, pub leagues aside. 147372[/snapback] Never had any money to work with. I don't think you will find many Leicester fans complaining about their league positions under him. 147388[/snapback] Or the trophies he won.
