Metaphorically Leazes Mag = the shopkeeper Freddy Shepherd = the Norwegian Blue

It's nearly all in jest So who is our omnipresent accountant over there then ???

I am totally overwhelmed by your omnipotence or was it impotence hmmmmmm

That fact worries me, as it means I actually have something in common with him What's your name on there then? It might have been you that was getting the bollocking. Same name as always on this side of the pond. If someone was getting bollocked it was VERY likely CF, his arse must be red raw

That fact worries me, as it means I actually have something in common with him

because he's whinging like a spanked baby on another board

Rascist bastards I reckon, just doing it to alienate the local "ethnics". They'll be flying a British flag next

Agree, there's one on the A90 on the way to Aberdeen been shut down for that very reason. Personally I think 30 limits should be plastered with the things but on open road a bit of common sense wouldn't go amiss

That is utter tosh. IF the majority of cameras were in sensible places I might agree, but they are in the main placed in stretches of road where someone speeding a bit is of little consequence.

Clem Atis was canny an all

Not in the same class as Chris Anthemum

RIP Was hilarious watching him try to get served in a bar when he was in his early twenties, he looked about 6

Exactly I would only modify "Freds took us backwards" to Fred's TAKING us backwards at an alrming rate

A697 into Scotland 8 camera's ALL on the straight good visibility ahaad stretches where it's safest to overtake. Virtually all cameras are in places like that, but any driver travelling north should be flogged for speeding in such circumstances, let's face it the Motorway network is fabulous between the North East and Scotland

It was to support Breast Cancer charities in honour of Clarke's late wife

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.

The worst stuff on the net is all at www.ogrish.com beheadings,executions the lot, fucking foul site (I might have spelled it wrong) - edit no I didn't

Voted, but there's no way I'm letting wor lass see that site

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 -

The right wing American "gentle God's" followers say:

Well Jesus probably is the most famous American ever. He gets about a bit

Yep and when they nuke Iran, Jesus will save them

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
