Israel continues its merciless pounding of the defenceless.
Toonpack replied to Park Life's topic in General Chat
Can't believe they assaulted in international waters, that's state piracy. Whatever the actions of those on board the ships, Israel's assault was illegal and beyond the pale IMO. Why the fuck they didn't let the ships dock and they could have detained everyone then quietly and bloodlessly. Be interesting to see what happens in the Security council. -
It's the stuff wars are made of, geet big proper wars, not localised skirmish type wars either. Very scary.

I guess that's covers all of them P.S. Parky is the best poster in the history of the internet, ever (after Tyrone Weaver)

Freeholds a bit funny when it comes to flats I think. For example I have a flat (my pension) and I own the freehold for the upper flat (which isn't mine), and the owner of the upper owns the freehold of mine (the bottom flat). Something to do with making sure there's no weird or wacky extensions etc go on, like that shark through to roof thingy. Not sure how it'd work in a block of 4.

Why don't Israel? Why should Israel? Why should Iran? Because the UN says so, and it happens to be a really nutfilled regime, , would you be happy for Iran to have the bomb?? -

Why don't Israel? Why should Israel? Don't you think a lot of the anti-West feeling in the Muslim world stems from the perception (shared by many in the West, including a lot of Jews tbf) that it's one rule for Israel and one rule for everyone else? There is one rule for Israel and one for everyone else, but that has a lot to do with a large number of the "everyone else" in question wishing to wipe Israel off the map - as they tried several times militarily until Israel became (or proved to be) the biggest kid on the block. As such, them remaining in a militarily supreme position is acceptable IMO. -

Whatever the rights or wrongs (which outweigh the rights IMO) of the war, there is one going on and where is the righteous indignation and mournfull youtube clips about the victims of the bastards who drive laden petrol tankers into markets in Iraq and blow them up (for example). There's a big difference between mistakes made by men in combat and downright murder. After D-Day as a pre-cursor to Pattons break out, there was a huge bombing raid planned on the facing German defences, they gave the front line units coloured smoke to identify them from the air, unfortunately they gave them the same colour of smoke as that was used to mark the target, they changed the colour of the smoke for the next day, but unbelieveably planes and ground troops got the same colour as each other again. Wars are bad and shit happens.

Tragic, but there's a war on and shit happens.

They are three of eight "mock-ups" made by Puma, the white and blue are second strip "options", they are not the new kit (they could be, but aren't confirmed) Latest from Footballshirtculture. Hello, Just a quick word to put your minds at ease. I work for Puma. However, not in a production Factory. Im actually a marketing representative and work mostly on the continent. I like to check this site quite a lot as I am a lifelong football fan and ultimately, a bit of a Newcastle nut! I heard yesterday that the site had posted pictures of the new toon tops so i got a bit exciited as I hadn't seen them! So, from my hotel i logged straight on and checked them out. I was very dissapointed to see the home kit looking rather bland but for the other two, well i quite like them. The blue one especially is probably the most bright and punchy looking footer shirt I've seen for any Premier League team so far this season. Now...I'm going to put your mind at rest. I contacted a collegue who has contacts at the production factory in Asia. I waited a fair while for a response on the question but I asked him if he could check that the kits posted were the ones making final production. Well, they're not....not yet anyway. The tops you can see above are only three of eight. All are prototypes and no definite desision has been made on the final kits. I was notified that they had not started to produce any Newcastle tops yet, currently there are only the eight produced 3 of which you see above. There have been four home top prototypes made, and four away kit prototypes made. The white one above is an away kit option, not a third kit. The club badges, and sponsor have been ironed for money purposes only. Embrioding the kit badge and sponsor on a prototype just isnt viable so thats the reason we haven't done it. I have been advised that the collar is staying as is on above pictures however, one design does provide the Puma logo on the right hand side. There has also been a yellow, green and white away top prototyped. ..i have been informed. There may be changes so dont expect these kits to be final products. I would personally be happy for the blue away one mind. How'ay the lads....

Wrong on all counts 'Lively' after-show party though, I'd imagine. Your choices? Plant/Slash/Bonham/Entwhistle

If she got elected (which she won't) it'd destroy Labour in it's heartlands, in my experience the "working man" ain't that enlightened sadly

I don't think he's very good, but at the same time I don't think a lot of the side's we'll be realistically competing with next season have very good strikers either. Is he significantly worse than Cameron Jerome, Zamora, Carlton Cole, Kevin Davies and the like? I don't think believe he is. I hope he's not one of our first choice strikers next season, because even with our budget we should be able to find better, but his scoring record each season is generally a goal every 3 starts, which isn't terrible. I've advocated us going after Boyd from Rangers for a while, because at the moment we don't have a genuine goalscorer in our squad (with the possible exception of Lovenkrands), but that won't happen and it looks like we're going to have to make the best of what we've got. Do I think Ameobi will be able to lead the line effectively next season? No. Do I think he is capable of being useful as a squad player? Yes. Kevin Davies is miles better than Ameobi. Who was the last striker to come out of the sunday league scoring goals against 3rd division standard opposition to uphole their reputation down here too ? If you're talking about the SPL, Steven Fletcher this season at Burnley. Came from Hibs and got 12 league goals in a terrible terrible side. we'll see how he progresses. Before him ? Even the most ardent Scottish football supporter would admit if they are honest, very few players up there are class. Look at the Rangers team that has won the league ? Its full of 2nd division players and ex premiership players who are past their best and/or were never much good anyway. There's very few Brits who are "class" full stop

Definitely a strong contender, though I'd put Robert Plant , Steven Tyler and Ian Gillan in there too. I only really know Gillan's voice aut of those to any depth but I don't think any of them match Dio for "proper" singing - ie carrying a song without shouting/screaming or going full out. I was listening to the first Rainbow album this morning and his singing on Catch the Rainbow is breathtaking. Not wanting to hijack the thread - you'd have to include Paul Rodgers in that list. Particularly in respect to the bit in bold. Plant has waned in his latter years, but Dio definitely did not. They played a HaH track on Rock Radio yesterday (the whole day was dedicated to him) which was recorded live 2yrs ago (when he was 65). He was pitch perfect. His operatic style didnt always appeal to me if I'm honest, but as I said earlier in the thread; Dio had power as well as range - unlike many of his contemporaries. He also had the ability to do it live, for a whole gig too. I heard an interesting fact yesterday also. Apparently, Dio never needed to warm up. He just walked out and sang like that straight off the bat. Without a shadow of a doubt. I'd also add Steve Perry of Journey (I appreciate it's totally different type of voice) but listen to Open Arms from the Live in Houston DVD absolutely spellbinding.

Driving to and from Aberdeen every other week I get to see them at their finest. How come they spend half their lives looking in mirrors yet when they get in a car the just don't. On a dual carrigeway you'll come up to a queue of traffic with a slower car at front 7/10 times a woman (the other three it's a codger), pulled out to overtake something at the same speed they caught up with it at, don't accelerate to get past and don't pull back in for miles. Every time !!!!

Unless of course we're going to buy some new players out of the increased revenue (which wouldn't be "new capital outlay") which will put us into loss, but maybe a smaller loss year on year, possibly !!!! (skinchies)
