You're probably a wee bit too young thinking about it. It was 1983. Jesus wept. It was the one where they sent Bob Paisley up to collect the cup:
-
Thought this was a stunning documentary like. I actually wondered if you'd caught it when I was watching it (DWEEB!!! that I am). It's an absolutely fascinating mission. I thought it really showed what a charismatic visionary Carl Sagan was as well.

Can't see Romney getting in anyway so it's probably moot. And fair play to Obama on the medical insurance issue, despite it inevitably being watered down. What else has he done that Bush wouldn't have done though? Especially in terms of foreign policy, I can't see a big difference tbh so that's why I agreed with HF. Romney's rhetoric has been a lot more anti-war / foreign intervention than Obama's foreign policy has turned out to be so far. Perhaps we'll see a difference in the 2nd term, when he obviously doesn't have to worry about re-election, but I doubt it somehow. When he got in I used the Tommy Carcetti analogy and I stick by it.

I've done that before

Was thinking about Ronnie Whelan when I was reading this actually. Class act. Remember that goal v Man Utd in (I think) the Milk Cup Final?
-
Not the point he was making like. Also, I don't see your point anyway. Are you insinuating that anyone picking up a bargain is actually creating these job losses? How does that work exactly?
-
And here 'she' is. Funny that.

My thoughts exactly. Obama is like JFK but not in the way a lot of people think, i.e. he's a conservative who's managed to convince his followers that he's a liberal.
-
Peter Suttcliffe as well.
-
It's his birthday anarl.

You man-whore.

Mags was an absolute fucking bint and I told her that at the time.

Like the originals but I've only seen The Phantom Menace of the new ones. I didn't hate it, I just thought it was a bit 'meh' really and it felt like a kid's film, as opposed to the other ones which are the sort of thing I could enjoy as a bairn but also my Dad liked at the time (and I still like as I've grown up). The whole Star Wars nerdy subculture isn't really my bag like.

Bargain! And wait 'til Parky sees the username.

Sammy should just be an impact sub at the minute. He's got some potential without a doubt but he's nowhere near ready to be starting PL games. I'd put Ferguson in the same bracket. I think he might end up as a good full-back but he shouldn't be starting week-in, week-out at present (ideally that is, I don't mind him starting if it means Santon on the right and Simpson nowhere near the pitch given the current squad).

I did three years of chemistry at university

I'd give the 5 year extended warranty a miss.

I was adding chocolate to mine but I now find adding a little bit of sugar (just to offset the bitterness of the tomotoes) and cocoa powder gives a better taste. The difference is marginal like.

I used to be completely against it but not I'm for it, in certain cases, in principle, but I don't think it would work in practice. Even in the United States where it's been around for years you have too many legal appeals etc. which stops it from being enforced. Take the case of Richard Ramires who's been on death row in California since the mid-80s. He's a sick fucker who deserves to die but that's by the by. You only need to look at a case like Abu Hamza recently to see how the only people likely to benefit from a re-introduction of the death penalty are highly paid lawyers. I think sentences for a number of crimes should be a lot more severe in this country though. That would be a start.

In the last few weeks I've heard from two different school friends who've both lost their wives to cancer recently. Another mate from university was just telling me about how his Dad (only in his early 60s) went into hospital with a broken hip and was dead from pnuemonia a couple of weeks later. Puts all that material bollocks into perspective.

Haven't heard that in a while

See, bunch of fascists.
