  1. Yeah, that's why he sent Babayaro off. Oh wait....... 133589[/snapback] Wasn't a red card offence tbh. It got the yellow it deserved.
  2. Was it not on last night then? HBO don't normally mess about. Where have you looked?
  3. Anyone seen last night's yet? Will be downloading and watching it later....just wondering if it's any good? And HF, where's this infamous scene you keep going on about. I'm there every week with the marigolds, and....nothing.
  4. http://icnewcastle.icnetwork.co.uk/newcast...-name_page.html How dare they not give special brain tumour dispensation? What a plum Oliver is!
  5. That and a dreadlocked wig. FACT!
  6. Having done all my twisting about Walcott......I'd like to see him play, so maybe in Rooney's absence (realistically!) he'll give things a bit of interest. Sven probably won't even play him now though. According to Harry Redknapp he "runs through puddles and doesn't make a splash", he's that quick. Imagine if you're him though!? He must have been looking at Sven watching him training and thinking "Eh? What's he doing here......surely not?!" I can't see Sven not taking him now either - it would be a pretty crushing blow for a lad just turned 17 to be named provisionally and then not go.
  7. Reo-Coker's looked a really good player this season. I think he's been unlucky not to get picked. But then every English midfielder in the top two divisions is unlucky when you consider that Jenas and Hargreaves are both going and they're both turd. Just to reiterate re Walcott. It's one of the most ridiculous decisions I've ever seen. The lad is 100% unproven, has never played a Premiership game, and is going to play in the WORLD CUP man! Either Sven is mental, or this kid is out of this world in training and reserve games. EDIT! In which case, why isn't Wenger picking him? If he's THAT good.
  8. Was reading somewhere yesterday (might have been The Mag) that Owen himself has said that he's sick of doing interviews where he gets asked 20 questions, 19 about Newcastle and 1 about England and all that gets reported is his answer to the England one. I've been a bit harsh on him for this this season, but if that's the case then it's out of his control really.
  9. The Walcott choice is mental. Sven doesn't need to worry about keeping the job beyond the WC so he's decided to take some risks by the look of things. Given the choice between Lennon and SWP I'd take Lennon based on what I've seen this season though. SWP's career is in danger of hitting the skids if he doesn't leave Chelsea in the summer.
  10. Aye, the foul by Gallas that he "got a talking to" for was a bad one like. Definitely a yellow. I thought it was their second disallowed goal they showed though, think it was the first they missed.[/pedantry]
  11. It won't get overturned. He definitely did something even though it wasn't much. The only way you'll get something overturned is if the referee got something completely wrong. The fact that he even gestured towards stamping/kicking/whatever will be enough for the FA not to rescind it.
  12. I can see what you are saying. The engines suck the air over the wings. However this would create "hotspots" and not a uniform lift as the majority of the wing would not have any lift. Also its very dependent on the location of the engines. The ideal location being exactly in the middle of the wing, which is never the case as they are almost always located beneath them. This means the only air flow is under the wing and none above. Now in order to determine the pressure underneath depends on the speed of the air. Now you have to look into the compressable flow equations. Now assuming mach 0.999 airspeed through the engine this give a pressure of about 0.55atm below the wing compared to 1atm above. And hence no lift and the plane is infact forced to the ground 133333[/snapback] Actually, it's a trick question, there is no possible "yes" or "no" answer, because the question is illogical. I just thought I'd play devil's advocate Basically, for the plane to move forward the wheels must be moving faster than the conveyor, yeah? But for the plane to move from it's station-holding position on the conveyor, as the thrust is applied to the engine, the wheels must turn quicker for it to develop forward motion. And according to the initial question, the conveyor will instantly match the speed of the wheels. And that's the sticking point. As soon as the conveyor belt increases speed to match the plane's wheel speed, the plane's wheel speed will increase. It is impossible for the conveyor belt to ever be the same speed as the wheels of the plane once more-than-station-keeping thrust has been applied, and the wheels would instantaneously reach inifinite rotational velocity. Thus, it's a bogus question. The circumstances described simply can't happen. A better way to phrase the question, however, would be to replace "wheel speed" with "plane speed", as that is actually realistic... But that's for another day. 133438[/snapback] Surely the point in a hypothetical question is that we take it as read that the initial information is complete and can be taken as fact though. I didn't realise we were allowed to question the initial premise based on the fact that it couldn't happen in reality.
  13. At the speed of light? Which airline are you using? 133432[/snapback] KLM. Ok, speed of sound. I'll call her a bitch instead and see if she hears me. Just as well you pointed that out, as I don't think my "You can't possibly have witnesses, I was invisible" defence would have stood up in court, on reflection.
  14. I might have been there. Think I lived there in 86.
  15. I nearly posted that two seconds ago. I used to live in Portugal, you know (Carvoeiro). I'm so well-travelled and cultured it's untrue. 133420[/snapback] I've been to Carvoeiro. Just take a bottle of port 133424[/snapback] Canny innit? Did you go to Smileys and the Long Bar? Ruth Madoc was a regular at the Long Bar.
  16. I'm flying on Friday. I'll do this and touch one of the stewardesses up on the way past. Watch the news on Saturday morning to find out whether I was invisible or not.
  17. The same goes for all of us according to your mate Bill Bryson. We all gain a miniscule amount of time when, say, we travel on a long haul flight. I know you won't believe this cos it was Bryson though.
  18. I nearly posted that two seconds ago. I used to live in Portugal, you know (Carvoeiro). I'm so well-travelled and cultured it's untrue.
  19. I can just picture you sat on the sofa in front of a 37 inch monitor like the world's biggest wide-eyed nerd.
  20. I reckon you'd be alright with the feathers. If you fell off a building onto them, they would cushion your fall, so would it not work in reverse too?
  21. They like their grilled sardines, but I'd go with Piri Piri tbh. It must be easy to make too. You can buy piri piri seasoning in Tescos.
  22. And they've had a days training from combat specialists on how to act as a group to take you down. What effect does it have on the number if we tell Gemmill one of them has chocolate? 133390[/snapback] I'd snack on it whilst I fended them off tbh. I like Renton's idea of using one as a weapon like. Pick one up and spin him round, using his head to club his counterparts. Put me down for 25 to start off with, but you can keep some more behind a gate and let them out when I've got this lot down to single figures.
