I have absolutely no truth any of you really exist coming to think of it. It could be those damn aliens up to their tricks again.

What's everyone having for tea tonight then?

Isn't pud one? 107072[/snapback] Aye, but he could be in on it. In fact, he is in on it. So is Jimbo. Blackmail you see. 107075[/snapback] Hang on, does that mean we're all part of their sick little game? We're getting manipulated into arguments etc for their sick pleasure? 107079[/snapback] HTL is also a plant.

I think "within reason" is probably the phrase required here.

Also, how come they're the only (?) admins? Only they have the power to check their IP address is the same!

Just got up to here reading this thread and my irony meter has gone off the scale. Half the things that HTL advocates (and iirc this includes executing children and publically beating criminals) would fit quite nicely into an extremist state like Iraq that we are "fighting" against. He just can't see it though. 106921[/snapback] I reckon he is just looking after what he percieves as the best interests of his own country, like most of us. However, unlike a lot of people on here, I don't see how allowing potential terrorists on the streets is a good thing...like it or not we are at war, like we were twice in the last century, just of a different type, against people who want to change the world to one of their liking and take away our freedom, and going by boy scout rules against such bastards and cowards is out of the question 107010[/snapback] I think it goes without saying we all want what is best for the country we live in, I know that I do. It's just some of us believe it is worth protecting what makes our society what it is and don't want us to revert back to medieval "justice" or want a return to "guilty until proven innocent". If we incarcerate people at the will of the state, lock people up for years with no evidence against them, what makes us different to Iraq? The same goes with executing children or beating people in public imo. There seems to be little point in arguing on these points anyway, I have posted on the internet long enough to know the more stubborn among us (and that includes me probably) will never be persuaded we are wrong. However, HTL seems to me to be an extreme case with very black and white viewpoints. These people always worry me, this might sound daft but I believe that the taliban were comprised of similar minded people to some of the more right-wing dogooder bashers you get on these message boards. It's the way some people see the world in black and white, the underlying certainty and fundamentalism of their beliefs. The world is not a simple place and neither are issues, it's right we should debate them in a free society if we want without claims we are loony lefty sandalistas, do-gooders, unpatriotic, or indeed wankers if we do. Anyway, rant over. Like I say I'm not sure I want to get caught up in another of these threads - its got the potential to get ugly.

It's an old joke often repeated, but seriously, are they the same person and do they even know it?

He hasn't posted in here, it seems I'm not the only one who needs his eyes checked? 106999[/snapback] He's sitting next to me. OK, he isn't really. Always get Happy Face and Dr Noisewater mixed up for some reason.

Aye, he backed him with money then sacked him right at the start of a new season and to be honest, no I don't understand why he did it or why you're trying to defend his timing of that dismissal. 106994[/snapback] Should have had the guts to dismiss him after the FA cup final OR given him an adequate run in the new season (whatever that is but more than 2 games). Howay Leazes man, I know you agree with this really.

On a more serious note, I'm certainly not going to argue with HF, but my first thought was it's eye strain. My second thought was why is he wasting the time of the forum with something so trivial? Could at least had the decency to have a twisted testicle or something "juicy".

Oculist! 106974[/snapback] Take out those pink/rainbow coloured contacts. That might help.

Is Rooney not coming as well?

Straight swap for Luque?

the voters ? poor comparison mind ...... 106720[/snapback] Aye fair enough...who then turn on her* as she is no longer perceived to be making the right decisions to take the country in the right direction and so she resigns. Whats the difference? You're seriously deluded. By the way re the question why I chose Liverpool as opposed to another club. They're a comparable size to us and they win stuff. Thats what I want us to do. I want us to be mre like them than Everton. You're content to just be 'better than Everton'. Which is part of the problem. *Thatcher/Major.....it doesnt really matter 106728[/snapback] So are the others I've mentioned, as i said all of them bar 2 have won cups since we have. So why Liverpool ? because they are the ONLY ones....as I said, raised expectations...football didn't start in 1992, and coming runners up 4 times since then without coming first doesn't make you shit or your board of directors either... You aren't the only one who wants to win stuff, we all do. We have got closer to it and competed for it more consistently than all the other clubs of a "comparable size" to us, or able to compete, and beat us having done it before. By picking only Liverpool you are effectively putting us in a 2 team league finishing bottom.... The boards and chairman of ALL those other big city clubs could challenge us if they wanted to, or ambitious enough, but the simple fact is, they aren't. 106788[/snapback] With regards to managerial appoinments: A good CV gives someone the 'right' to apply for a job. They then have an interview where they discuss their ideas and strategy, this is logical. I want to know what part of Dalgleish's interview Freddie liked, the bit about selling Ginola, Ferdinand and Asprilla? The bit about buying Anderson, Guivarch and Glass? The bit about investing in young players like Serrant and Hamilton? A good CV is fine but you need to know a mangers plans before you employ him. Common sense. 106881[/snapback] You do yourself no favours by taking the extreme examples to attempt to back it up mate. For starters, selling Arsprilla was a great idea, and that would sell him to me like a shot. As Ginola had clearly lost something at Newcastle, his future was clearly doubtful at the time. Ferdinand was sold on the back of the club going PLC, to raise the share price, Mark Cambridge of the grey suit in London being hugely influential, this is well discussed and a bad blow of course, but not the usual circumstances. If Dalglish had also told me he was going to buy Given, Solano, Speed, Hamman, Tomasson, Dabizas, and put the youth system back in place, i would have gave him the job, particularly on the back of his CV ? Wouldn't you ? [or anyone else ?] To be fair, Serrant and Glass were reasonable gambles they were players for small fees who may have made the step up, they certainly helped to get the reserve team settled down again as quickly as possible. BTW his CV beats all the current candidates hands down. So how can everyone on here say "they are good candidates" on the back of their CV ? 106909[/snapback] So how does panic sacking Dalglish four games into the season fit into your assesment of Shepherds policy of getting the right man for the job and backing him? 106933[/snapback] Two games and one loss iirc. It's undefendible, and whilst Gullit probably had to go, he repeated the mistake with Robson.

I always found Sonatine to be one of the most well-balanced posters on the old toontastic; rarely controversial and made no enemies. Unlike all you other fuckers.

Very unusual this, I've never heard of anything like it. It seems they may have unintentionally invented a potent poison.... Still, there could be some serendipity in this if they can find out something about the mechanism of the adverse reaction and use it to reduce the chances of future events. Not much use for the human gunea pigs involved though.

I thought he came across as a tosser myself, especially in the way he treated his staff. More importantly though, he came across as a shit chef.

Your username's not that naff Alex, there used to be one with the shitter name of Alex the Mag iirc. Posted a load of shite too. Mind, anyone who uses Tiscali can't be too bright.

The blue lagoon, yes. An amazing experience. You're supposed to have a shower in the nude before you get in but there was no way I was showing off my bits to all and sundry so I kept my trunks on.

Pretty much the impression I get from mine in Whitley Bay. Mind, I'm not sure if going private will make that much difference to me in terms of price.

Mind it's not much warmer here, is it? I'm bloody freezing.

Just got back from Iceland. I highly recommend it - somewhere a bit different but really nice. It's true about the cost though - don't go if you're on a budget. Absolutely knackered now though. Just my luck to be returning to Glasgow the day they have the worst snow for 20 years and to suffer a 24 hour delay. Hope the airline pay for my hotel or that's another £200 wasted. Anyway, if anyone fancies a trip to Reykjavik ask me and I'll tell them the best places to go to if they fancy roast puffin.....

104508[/snapback] Jesus wept! How is that possible? I thought there was only a centimetre or two of slack in the optic nerve.
