Renton

Got to admit, that I'm tempted to see.

I don't agree. It was an important test case, and has set a very important precedent, which will effectively prevent cases like this in the future. This is how our legal system works, and it's pretty effective imo. If you don't like it, why don't you go and live in Saudi?

I don't think so, not unless they were rehearsing the whole thing together. I know they will have some stock-in-trade insults, but clearly in that video they were adapting the lyrics to what the previous person has said.

What's your opinion on it Rob?

Who won then? It's easy to take the piss mind but I seriously don't know how they do it. I certainly can't think that fast.

One of the lego people on the third photo down looks like he's flying a swashtika.

Quite likely, or could have responsible for the heat needed to kick off a reaction that led to life forming. 110185[/snapback] Bollocks! Where did you hear that?

Man of the people © Shereena and Gav (pictured) offered this insight into the great man: "Aye, Shearah were deed canny like....he takked to wu for almost a minnit an then he got in a geet big murter and left us....laughin as he sped away! He wuz just doon to earth. Like us. Canny!" 110170[/snapback] Jesus wept.

Ffs, Looks like Boro in Europe again.

Police want to talk to a midget spotted legging it away from the scene of the fire apparently.

I'd question the word "need" there personally. Want is more apt, in everones case 110058[/snapback] Do you still want that ticket dickweed? 110061[/snapback] I'm guessing he was taking the piss out of me. And Gemmill, don't quote me while I'm editing an embarassing mistake!

Fair enough, but I don't remember anything like that from a "A short history of nearly everything". I'll avoid his travel books though.....

Aye cos I'm sure you'd a) understand and b ) want to wade through the original text of some of the stuff it covers. 110036[/snapback] None of which alters the fact that it's a book for people who need scientific theories simplifying 110038[/snapback] I'd question the word "need" there personally. Want is more apt in my case.

I'm a scientist but I must admit I can't be arsed with the real stuff. Populizers (sp?) like Bryson are welcome in my book.

The smokes canny bad near my office like. Apparently its the warehouse opposite the Copthorne which is on fire. An insurance jobby I reckon - does anyone know where Whacky is?

EDIT: Whilst on fire. 110030[/snapback] Koresh style stand off tbh. Send in the tanks!

Meteor strike? A very small one perhaps?

This was turning out to be a good thread until you pervs pervified it as always. Five posts ffs! Anyway, it's a good book by Bryson. The chances of dying by a comet or meteorite strike are quite high in fact. The event itself is very unlikely, but the consequences would be devestating. I think you have to multiply the chance of the event by the chance it would kill you, and hey presto. You are as likely to die by being hit on the head with a rock from space as you are by being run over. Or something.

I put all my money on TaylorIQ27 © me. Oh yes, and I will claim millions of compensation if I don't win. 109316[/snapback] Wasn't me. 110007[/snapback] No shit.

It's illegal to import tortoises now, isn't it? Mainly because they die in hibernation in winter iirc. 250 years is some age mind.

Why would he switch to drugs, Rob? That's a bit of a sweeping generalisation isn't it? He deserves to be locked up. Women were brutally murdered as a result of his actions 109574[/snapback] Drugs - because british jails are full of them - and I wonder who brings them in - surely not any bent prison officers? People were murdered because of the actions of Sutcliffe - the police are just as "guilty" - there were quite a few glaring errors in the way they handled the investigation 109978[/snapback] Nice you are comparing the Police, who may have made mistakes in the case, to a man who deliberately tried to derail it for his own ego. Also nice use of the inverted commas, once again inferring Humble is not guilty of anything. Jesus wept Rob. Get a grip.

Ffs, what type of argument is that? The answer you're looking for is no.

A testimonial boxing match between Keane and Shearer would be more entertaining like.

Yeah, but no, but yeah, but no.......

Very true. The difference is, I suppose, we had no choice but Shearer did. 109955[/snapback] Could have retired last season but stayed on for an extra £10k a week. His choice like 109957[/snapback] Aye, true, I was just being an argumentative bastard again for the sake of it. Bet he's on more than 10K a week too.
