Happy Face

...and just to go back to this. You're the lying whore in this case. You can't say based on what proprtion of the population was muslim 8 years ago, and what proportion is now. How much that population has increased. You can only say how much the proportion has increased. So even if your 4% IS a reported best guess. In no way shape or form does that correlate with a 25% increase in muslim population. If the entire UK population has grown by 0.5% and the Muslim population grew by (say) 1% in the same time it might have caused the jump from 3% to 4% as a proportion. That assumes your 4% is a researched figure. Yes you can, you can do anything with statistics, it's all in how you present them (as you should well know). You can if you make them up as you go along...as you did just then.

Muslims only have kids call Mohammed? Only if they figures you originally used, Chris, were only in Fops head too....... were they? What do you mean? I've linked to the data i quoted. You're yet to. See what is there, not just what you want to see. I already responded to the "all kids are called mohammed" question when it was asked earlier. ALL non-muslim names aren't in the top 100. We're talking about a proportion of the figures available.

4% of the population only having 3.15% of the kids too. Their numbers must be dwindling based on that.

Mind you that's a 1% growth to 4% in the last 8 years (est), or a whopping 25% increase in the total UK Muslim population in <8 years (and of course the total UK population has rise in that time by about 2 million). Statistics are lying whores. Interestingly Chris, did you see that Bill Gates now agree with Fop on population reduction? The all break in the end. Where does the 4% come from? Latest estimates (neither that nor the 2001 census is likely to be massively accurate though). Bill Gates may have come from several places. The latest estimates in your head?

Aye I can see that pathetic South Tyneside building at Hebburn on the horizon. You can't like. It's the opposite direction.

He's all over the shop throughout...I think purposely so, to dissuade people from the split screen theory.

According to The Times he did this with over 7,500 people, it was just that they showed the one woman where it came off. Would there be a spate of people claiming Derrens mindbogglery never worked on me.. It wasn't a secret, it was just his 'system', that if he had enough people backing different horses then one would win back all winners, nothing spectacular about it at all. A woman gambling away her parents home on a Derren Brown scam was pretty spectacular.

So Mohammad was the only foreign name given to UK kids? Yes...in the top 100....because we aren't being over-run by a foreign influx.

He says it's taken a year. I'd say he's filmed most combinations (he wanted to get 5 out of 6) and the TV was bluescreen. He did learn the A-Z of London off by heart. ...but then how did they get the right vt on channel 4 at the same time the lottery was on...or cut to it once the balls had been drawn? EDIT: Split screen?

He's a duck. Burn him!

I take it back then. Mind, $249 or £290

Cannit believe they're jacking in the classic and halving the size of the biggest memory available. Looks like I'll have to keep replacing the battery on my current model myself.

Mind, if you are a Beatles fan this is a rather interesting look at the new releases. Never heard that scat by Paul on Sgt Pepper before. Maybe it is worthwhile.

My favourite Darkey is Joe.

Ridiculous thing to highlght. I can't find the raw data for 2009, but the 2008 data is here. And it shows that 209,234 babies made up the top 100 names. Of those, traditionally English (Western/White) names were given to 202,643 (96.85%) The reamining 6591 (3.15%) got called Mohammad (or some variation). If you click the link, you'll see they weren't reported as a combined figure that year. If they had been Mohammad would have come in third place. 1,591,000 Muslims recorded at the 2001 Census, forming 3% of the population. (source) 8 Years ago.

Left Newcastle last month used to love an hour wandering round the parks or the shops with my ipod. In North Shields now pick up a sarnie at the canteen and eat it at my desk.

Lisa Stansfield has been celebrated at the MOBOs? They'll lose all their cred.

"Lunch is for wimps"

Still 60p lower than when he bought us.

Discussing the cache of liking a band that split up 40 years ago. If you have anything to add to the debate, you aren't "cool"

There's not many people said they hate The Beatles though. One I think. Renton's view is extreme in my opinion. As much as i love them, and have put them on a pedestal in the past, I eventually grew out of them and realised (in the words of John Lennon) they were "just a band". As someone who bought the entire back catalogue, live at the BBC, Red, Blue, Past Masters vol 1, Past Masters vol 2, The Anthology volumes 1 to 3 on CD, The Anthology DVD box set, Let it Be Naked...and Love...there comes a point (it was a long time coming) when you have to say enough, it's as ungainly as the Tupac Shakur dynasty trying to pick the pockets of anyone daft enought to invest in anything but the original albums by releasing diminishing quality music that people hail as genius rather than the binned sub-par sketches they really are. A BBC season to coincide with their new £99 video game and digital versions of their entire back catalogue leaves a sour taste with me too. Should have been QVC hawking this stuff. I don't think it's extreme to think they have a special place in UK musical history, which is all I've said, really. What's more extreme is you buying all that stuff, which I certainly haven't. And again that kind of prove my point about their special place. You went further than that like... "one of the first bands to actually write and play their own music" "Without them the music today would simply be unrecognisable" The first point, is that not true, genuine question? Whey Bill Haley & the Comets were doing that over a decade earlier.
