Who gives a fuck

So some say, and the so some say not.

If you say so Shouldn't you be away trying to become an MP or some such.

Rubbish. I happen to believe in God, I also believe God and evolution are not mutually exclusive. Anyway this discussion as about UKIP and the impending doom of western civilisation.

Why is that relevant ?

All of them?, they maybe had a token social conscious to their won, but subjugated all others to their own ends ?? Additionally all successful empires have eventually fallen, either to a more powerful empire or sometimes a more powerful and less civilised group and then simply imploded. It'll happen again it's the natural turn of things.

All social animals cooperate, cooperation in itself has little to do with it. Mankind has developed (in some places) a social conscience, it's not particularly "normal" though in the everyday natural world.

In some places they do

Chez is correct, it's got nothing to do with do with "modern" empires or thirst for power/glory/wealth or anything of the like, since time immemorial it's simply the natural order of things. Look out of your window, everything you see is trying to survive at the expense of something else, mankind is different in that it has tried to, or aspires to, help the "weaker" members of it's society, it's laudable but at the same time wholly unnatural.

It would be natural.

That's probably why they turned up at the last minute to make sure he didn't win and waited to take their chance (after a couple of notable misfires)

24 Hours at Waterloo by Robert Kershaw. (currently at 7:30pm) Just as well Napoleon didn't win, we'd have ended up with something like a federalised Europe with a common marketplace, single currency and central law making authorities and the like, we got away with one there............... Highly recommend Kershaw's War Without Garlands as well.

Virgin Galactic prototype ???

How else can I enjoy/discern various whisky's, eh? If you haven't been there yourself, STFU.

You dissing Bruichladdich ?? Few spirits should be more than £20 a bottle IMO, let's face it they are produced just about as industrially as the soda I dump in them. I actually prefer Jim Beam to Jack as a sort of "everyday" (but not through the week) bourbon drink but Jack's fine and at £20/litre not to be missed. Have Woodford Reserve or Eagle Rare for snobbier moments. Rebel Yell is another nice, yet reasonably priced, one. Having had to add coke or similar to spirits for decades, my taste-buds largely block out the coke flavour and I still taste the wide variety of flavours in whatever I put into it. Someone who can drink it "properly" wouldn't stand a chance with diet coke in it (full leaded coke/pepsi absolutely does overpower everything and is WAY too sweet) and I do regret not being able to drink it as intended, and believe me I have tried many times, and no doubt will again (and crucify myself in the process).

Sainsbury's recently had Jack reduced to £20 for a litre, I have a current stock of 4 bottles, courtesy of nectar points.

Or industrial soda in your single malt tbh

Fabulous, love it well done to the point it's almost crispy/burnt on the outside, fully brown inside, and served with curry pot noodle and a lashings of Hammonds Chop Sauce. If I'm roughing it, I'll just sub out the pot noodle for baked beans.

How snobby is that post Because I have the temerity to drink whisky with "industrial soda" I am some sort of pot noodle munching, drunken, Neanderthal I love Whisky (and whiskey for that matter) but sadly I cant drink it straight, or on the rocks, or with a splash of water (or even drowned for that matter) because if I do, within seconds I feel like my digestive tract is being dynorod-ed with barbed wire (and I've been like that for as long as I can remember). So in order to be able to drink it I have worked through many and various mixers and the one that hits the spot and allows me to enjoy whisky burn-free is the aforementioned industrial soda or similar. Strangely I can get away with, and quite like, ginger ale with Irish Whisky but cant get away with it with Scotch, bizarre eh!!! Most spirits hit me the same tbh except Tequila strangely, that said when I would ever shoot tequila (prefer it in a cocktail if truth be told) Im likely well anaesthetised already and its past time for my pot noodle and chateaubriand with brown sauce. P.S. Sadly the Yamazaki Sherry Cask appears to be the best whisky in the world that you cant buy as it sold out months ago, so I wont be able to try it, bummer. On the bright side I can get two bottles of Bruichladdich (my fave) for less money. I agree with Alex and I do like the good stuff and I literally enjoy it as much (and the only way) I can.

I may get snobby and buy a bottle and see how good it is with Pepsi max, if it doesn't pass that test it's not the best in my book.

It's $160 a bottle, whisky snobbery is as bad as wine snobbery. I'd just put diet coke/pepsi in it anyway. BTW - They use imported Scottish Water and malt, so it's not a true Japanese Whisky, bit like saying a Nissan is a British car.

A lamp post ??

Not looked at any reports from the CL in regard to what the hacks call the grounds in their reports, but suspect UEFA would make sure their partners are looked after and threaten taking away accreditations etc. He's already got the naming rights and owns the retail, he'll likely give them some emergency funding (they're losing thick end of a million a month) in exchange for maybe security on the fixed assets like £1brox. (although there's a court case about who actually owns £1brox still floating around).

He could stick SD on their shirts, think that's the one area UEFA's "sponsorship partners" don't get the blackout on.

I am not advocating the wholesale reintroduction of the death penalty, in Roberts' case however had it still been on the books it would have been proportionate, in my opinion, and the life sentence that was given should have meant that. He'll be down the pub on Friday the twat.
