Old song but then again I'm an old man She came from providence, The one in rhode island Where the old world shadows hang Heavy in the air She packed her hopes and dreams Like a refugee Just as her father came across the sea She heard about a place people were smilin' They spoke about the red man's way, And how they loved the land And they came from everywhere To the great divide Seeking a place to stand Or a place to hide Down in the crowded bars, Out for a good time, Can't wait to tell you all, What it's like up there And they called it paradise I don't know why Somebody laid the mountains low While the town got high Then the chilly winds blew down Across the desert Through the canyons of the coast, to The malibu Where the pretty people play, Hungry for power To light their neon way And give them things to do Some rich men came and raped the land, Nobody caught 'em Put up a bunch of ugly boxes, and jesus, People bought 'em And they called it paradise The place to be They watched the hazy sun, sinking in the sea You can leave it all behind And sail to lahaina Just like the missionaries did, so many years ago They even brought a neon sign: 'jesus is coming' Brought the white man's burden down Brought the white man's reign Who will provide the grand design? What is yours and what is mine? 'cause there is no more new frontier We have got to make it here We satisfy our endless needs and Justify our bloody deeds, In the name of destiny and the name Of god And you can see them there, On sunday morning They stand up and sing about What it's like up there They call it paradise I don't know why You call someplace paradise, Kiss it goodbye

I smacked my kids who are now 19 and 22, I only ever did it once, and yes I felt bad after I'd done it BUT I've never needed to do it again. Mind you when I was a kid anyone could give you a smack, teachers and especially the polis - shame that all stopped, wouldn't be half the shite hanging around street corners now.

He was on the radio last night, evidently he was sat facing a window and the sun caught the lense/shirt button just right to glow and reflect for a second -

Yeah, I think we were alleged to have completed the paperwork incorrectly. I think we've conceded it too. I think our defence was, "well everyone does it this way" !!!!! Canny editorial here from todays times Loved this bit

This agent was whoring this 15 year old Boro lad around a few clubs. He went to Liverpool and Chelsea and the meetings there were caught on camera. Prior to setting these meetings up, he said to the undercover bloke "I've already had Newcastle around at his parent's house meeting with him....just so it's not out in the open." So that's the sum total of the evidence against us. I feel sorry for this 15 year old kid like. How are you supposed to know the right thing to do when the bloke that's supposed to be your advisor is doing stuff like this? Having said that, his parents should probably have realised that this wasn't above board. Thing is, we don't know what evidence they have which they may have witheld for legal reasons. Also, even if they have nothing against us, that doesn't mean that NUFC does not use corrupt agents. How else can you explain the McKay deals which have been frankly ludicrous. Totally agree, I reckon it's a certainty the "best" bits of that programme were not aired due to legal advice, fuck knows what's been passed to the FA

30 years ago we would have had points deducted and a cash penalty, but our sooopa Chairman will make sure we'll just get told off. Seriously though, this is getting VERY tiresome and not a little worrying, time after fucking time if there's any shit hitting the fan anywhere to do with football some of it always lands in NE1. With the tax mularkey already this is getting worse by the day.

Dead heat according to the times. Gemmill is a notoriously shit thread starter though so is desperate for credit where he can get it. I don't see any of your threads in the Gold Forum. "Blokes - if you had to shag one bloke from history" If that's the standard then Jesus wept! Gemmill started that? One of the best threads ever on here tbh. FACT! Extinction looms

Pope: "Muhammad has brought only evil and inhuman things".

The right wing American "gentle God's" followers say: -
Pope: "Muhammad has brought only evil and inhuman things".
Toonpack replied to Happy Face's topic in General Chat
Well Jesus probably is the most famous American ever. He gets about a bit -
Pope: "Muhammad has brought only evil and inhuman things".
Toonpack replied to Happy Face's topic in General Chat
Yep and when they nuke Iran, Jesus will save them -
Pope: "Muhammad has brought only evil and inhuman things".
Toonpack replied to Happy Face's topic in General Chat
I choose to base my reaction on my established dislike of the Pope, and condemn this statement as not only stupid but also unhelpful and dangerous. In fact the last thing we need. Before people go all Leazes on me I hate all organised religion equally, they are all the problem I might be biased, and in fact I am, but I actually do find islam a particularly reprehensible faith and dislike the socieities it has created immensely. The worst aspect of it is the fact that you cannot crticise it without having a fatwa put on you, but I find it wrong on so many levels. It basically belongs in the dark ages, if there even. Other faiths have their problems but none have led to so many problems as islam imo. All as bad as each other. All as wrong as each other All evil I agree with SB there. I think you are on very dangerous ground once you start saying one is worse than the other. I also think it's inaccurate as Christianity has a very bloody past and you could make a very strong argument that even today you have the example of the very worrying influence the religious right in America has over that countries foreign policy. Thats a very good point alex. The religious right in america is arguably behind the very bloody and violent US foreign policy. Personally I think it's more than "arguably". I'm on a fair number of US forums and there are an awfull lot of them around, some of them are down-right scary, and of the really scary one's, to a man they are GWB devotee's -

you don't see it do you ? You can't accept the need for one or two short term stop gap players in the real world. You're so thick, you expect the board to find 50m quid every summer, buy half a team every year....yet you think they are shite ........ Lost irony or what. Priceless. thick? that's rich coming from the man who defends the chairman's actions this summer. SHEPHERD OUT As I've said before, blokes like you will moan on like fuckwit manu fans do, regardless of what the club do. I never thought I would see the day NUFC fans whinged on like manu fans. Which is a sign of raised expectations - but you are too thick to see it or understand it. You are also too thick to understand that if you think in the real world our board is shit, then you wouldn't know one if they slapped you in the face with a wet fish. You could - maybe - slightly raise my opinion of your attitudes if you commented like an adult on what you seriously think the club were able to do this summer, how much money you think they had, and how they should have alternatively spent it, instead of forever bleating on about how you - hugely ironcally and stupidly - expect a shite board to spend a shitload of money every summer that isn't there. you're starting to get really fucking boring now. we've had this debate about a thousand times before and i'm far too busy at work today to get into another one. at the end of the day day leazes, you are in a minority of one on this board when it comes to your unwavering defence of shepherd. are we all thick fuckwit man u clones on this board? or has your argument died on its arse and you are too proud or stupid to admit you were wrong? SHEPHERD OUT Shame, but I think you are boring. I also don't give a shit if I am in a minority of one on this board, because I think I am right. Since when does not agreeing with a few dozen or so people on a message board make you wrong Now THAT conclusion of yours, shows EXACTLY how thick and naive you are. I would suggest that if you have an adopted postion and find that many people you discuss it with (by whatever means) state that you're wrong. Does that not tend to make you feel that you are in error somewhere along the line and lead you to adjust said position.??????????

I've (along with MANY others) stated the argument way too many times, and you don't come up with ANY from of cogent rebutal, it's now a "yes they are, no they're not" argument and as such is a waste of time. 30 years ago or today, little difference in prospects or chances squandered, BECAUSE of miss-management. 30 years ago there never was the opportunity for the board to waste millions, today the fact that the current incumbents have, is criminal (which may soon prove to be more than metaphoric given current news stories)
