  1. So the ordinary man isn't allowed to look at both sides of the argument and make his own judgements?
  2. You don't buy into that do you? Please don't try and argue there is no trend toward increased temperatures on earth. You'll reveal yourself to be moronic. I don't claim to be an expert but a good mate of mine works for the met and his line is that the Earth has been warming/cooling for millions of years (the Romans had vinyards near Hadrians wall) and we are coming to the end of a warming phase. The UK itself has actually begun a cooling trend. I think figures are manipulated on both sides but what I can say is that carbon trading is a billion dollar industry (Al Gore is close to sealing his first billion - an inconvenient truth if ever there was one) and it's no secret that those who advocate global warming as a concept (although it's interesting that that term has died a death and its now climate change) are often funded by those in this industry. Of course the earth has been cooling and warming for millions of years......billions. The seas have risen and fallen countless times.....but humans have only inhabited the planed for a tiny percentage of it's overall life (0.004%). Concern is not for the health of the planet which will outlast us by a long long way, but for the health of humanity who can only survive in a narrow set of conditions. In the end there's no hope anyway cos the sun will burn out (currently getting on for halfway through it's lifecycle) but there's no need to speed up our extinction is there? Of course not - but does human carbon emissions not amount to a fraction of the carbon realeased into the atmosphere? That's another question. I said i'd like to reverse the trend of warming which you disputed. However, since you ask..... So for 10,000 years the fluctuation was no more than 20 parts per million, but we've managed to increase it by 5 times that. *stands corrected* I'm no fan of the heat (particualry on the rush hour tubes) so I'd be happy to see it cool down.
  3. Not been for a while but I don't think there are any that do the full shebang. Need to get yourself to Eastern Europe for that (or the Flying Scotsman).

  7. I'd like to see the back off the SKY generation of football, the wanky pundits (Andy Gray - is there a bigger cunt), the adverts, the overplaying of what were once good songs (clubfoot) the transfer window countdown. David fucking Craig, Fanzone, that stupid turning and facing the camera by players, etc etc etc. On that note I'd also like to see Soccer AM reversed to when it was good hangover material and when Helen Chamberlain was still fit.
  8. Assuming a get the job I'm going for I could have a lot of time on my hands over the summer. Any suggestions about good TV series to watch. Done the Sopranoes, The Wire, Pacific. Hearing good things about Sons of Anarchy. Any suggestions?
  9. Never got past the 4th series.
  10. A bit of old school on the ipod this morning - Pantera, Vulgar display of power. Wish I was 14 again.
  11. Surely he should be on protein drinks, vitamins, or even Maccy D's milkshakes - anthing to keep his body weight up.

    Nope never used it.
  14. UK life expectancy is 79.4 years. Holland is 79.8 years. Considering we have area of horrific social deprivation, this healthy lifestyle attitude doesn't appear to be paying many dividends. The Scandis have the happy healthy lifestyle sewn up. Probably helped by the fact that they have 2 months off every summer.
  15. It's inevitable that we'll be looking at loans and bosmans unless any windfalls appear from sell on clauses and even then I'm fairly sure we'll still be looking at freebies.
  16. Just don't set it in England, imagine the accents. Is Bale not English or Welsh? He had a good accent in Empire of the Sun (class film anarl).
  17. I think you'll find that several species of Alien are alive and well and settled in certain areas of the UK namely a deprived little hovel in Durham, as well as several areas Wales.
  18. Brew all their own stuff and excellent it is too. Cheap as chips also, think last time I was in there bitter was £2 or so. All these near the city (around Farringdon) The Cheshire Cheese is canny and interesting.. http://www.beerintheevening.com/pubs/s/15/...se/Fleet_Street as is the Princess Louise http://www.beerintheevening.com/pubs/s/19/..._Louise/Holborn non Samuel Smiths... I quite like the Ye Olde Mitre http://www.beerintheevening.com/pubs/s/15/...d_Mitre/Holborn Lock stock was filmed in there I think. Jerusalem Tavern is very olde worlde proper pub and has excellent St Peters Beer. http://www.beerintheevening.com/pubs/s/16/...ern/Clerkenwell You'll find most of the good shit on that website tbh. My favourite pub in London is in Fortis Green..The Alexandria. awesome jukebox and atmosphere, but unless you live in Muswell Hill or East Finchley it's not much use to you. http://www.beerintheevening.com/pubs/s/21/...a/East_Finchley The Mitre is canny (it was Snatch by the way) but you can fit about 4 punters in there. The Ten Bells in Spitalfields is good alternative in the City (East End really) now the tourists have left (supposedly where Jack the Ripper picked up one of his victims). Good beers, a bit of history, and the grafitti in the bogs is hilarious. Good times all round.
  19. Shite mood - work is a pain in the stones at present and I have no motivation. Good news is I have a final interview (series of 6) for a new gaff next week. Bring on 3 months of gardening leave.
  20. In the UK we need to get back to creating wealth the old fashioned way (inventions, business, production) and forget about exotic ideas of fiancial sectors etc, cause the biggest failing of the fianancial sector has been its inabiltiy to spread wealth meaningfully. Marx was right. Naaa - means I'd be out of a job........
  21. Hmmm - conspiracy theories abound. Long term - look at UK banking stocks. Short term - good deals on the AIM also Jupiter looking to float shortly, worth a punt when the IPO runs. Not a commods man but do you not have to have a license to trade gold now? Well it is only a conspiracy till the conspiracy becomes a reality vis a vie Govt debt and failing Govt fianances in Euro and of course the U.S. Greece, Ireland, Portugal and Spain are pretty much gone. All they can do now is over monetarise (print more money).... International reserves of say 8 trillion are mainly held in emerging economies like China and India, the West has basically been running debt cycles now for err at least two decades and more if you're American. I wouldn't invest one penny in stocks of any kind. All banks are vulernable and in turn all stocks (paper gurantees of any kind actually inc bonds). It can only be that we are close to one or two maj economies defaulting and then all hell will break loose. Big Govt and big Govt employee pools to counter receeding private sectors has been a catastrophe. Banks are vunerable (as is any stock to market fluctuations, events, volcanoes etc etc) - however they are a decent bet for a long term return as any at the moment. Balance sheets cleaned up, ILAS just around the corner, game on.
