It might be the fat man though!

Aye, it certainly has the potential to get very messy.

Presumably it can't gather enough force if just dropped, but if it were projected at high speeds it could do damage? I think I remember a story about a kid being killed by a penny he'd left on the tracks that had flown off when the train hit it and essentially turned into a bullet. 166122[/snapback] They fired it out of an adapted high-powered rifle into a concreate block. Travelling at bullet-speed it took a little chip out of the block but the coin itself just warped. Guess the shape and material stopped it penetrating any further.

Its to do with mass and the force it can deliver. The penny would be travelling at 64 mph but because it only weighs 2.5 grams it hasn't got the force to do any real harm.

What a commendable attitude Jimbo. I admire that, really honourable.

Did anyone watch this, BBC2 7:30 tonight? A penny dropped off the Empire State building wouldn't kill you if it hit you (it probably wouldn't even break the skin). You get wetter running through the rain than walking through it. Filling your toilet with petrol then lighting it wouldn't create enough explosive force to blow you off it.

Can someone remind me which one was the leader, the instigator and which one was the slightly dim follower?

Half way between b & c, but I'd also be squirming that we were remaining a soap opera and making 'trophy signings' rather than building a solid team. Edit: why didn't you make this a poll btw?

They won't want Campbell and Boum shirley? If the Campbell deal goes through we better get on the phone to Monaco, Lyon, PSG etc.

Roeder is saying in todays Journal that he wants to keep Milner and anything else is just rumour. I expect he's talking about the Milner as makeweight in some sort of Ashton deal story.

Do you say book as "bOOk" or "buck" and film as "film" or "fil-um"? Noticed Chris Waddle is still saying "pelanty" during the world cup too.

Cherry B tbh - the ultimate gay drink. 165910[/snapback] Cherry B with Babycham - uber gay.

I see what you've done there

How old is he, compared to, say, Shevchenko and Van Horse? Look at the fees attached to them.

Living in the eighties Jimbo. The Fabia is an excellent supermini, a better value VW Polo basically. Former 'What Car?' Car of the year too. 165808[/snapback] Got one? 165810[/snapback] I knew someone would say that. No, I've got an Audi A3 (the expensive Golf) when it probably would have been more sensible to get an Octavia (or Seat Leon), the value Golfs.

No, its a different one

If so my fathas done a canny stretch because he's got one on each. I believe they're swallows, seemed to be popular amongst my fathas age group and associates. Biggest mistake of his life he reckons getting them done on his hands, saying that they just look like blue blobs of ink now there that old. 165707[/snapback] Aye, I didn't think it was right, but my my mate reckons they're called jail birds. You wouldn't exactly want to advertise to the world you were a criminal by having your hands inked would you?

That's nasty. Talk about being blind-sided.

I'm not that keen on Mihir Bose but his stuff is always very well researched, so I would be almost certain this is true.

Is it true that the little bluebird tattoo's some old fellas have between their index finger and thumb is a sign that you've done time inside?

No. I was being paid taxpayers money to watch Big Brother and Anchorman. 165632[/snapback] Good choice

Too far-fetched even for the rumour thread.

Not a patch on the side parting.

Agree, great tv tonight. Don't really know why it hasn't really gripped me this year. First of all I thought it was because the world cup was on, then I was away on holiday, then I just decided it was a bunch of people who didn't appeal to me. But tonights episode was quality (and the lady prison officers look sexy too).
