So is this actually the daft cow? 117059[/snapback] Only way she can prove it is to post a new "exclusive" picture of herself I reckon

Never gonna happen mate (the debt bit) 117027[/snapback] Agree. Gets worse every week for me. 117028[/snapback] And the good news for you whippersnappers is - I'm 20 years older than you lot so I can say with confidence - you've got DECADES of it left (wish there was an evil laugh smiley) 117032[/snapback] It'll take me decades to pay my current debt off, never mind the stuff I continue to take on. Not even including mortgage. 117037[/snapback] Best way is, just acknowledge it's a fact of life and don't get down about it. In all seriousness, I do feel sorry about kids today (eeeee what a codger eh!!), at least I've got a house and that's the "money in the bank" so to speak. With property prices the way they are how the fuck are people gonna cope in future. My kids'll be alright though, they'll be minted if I croak BUT if I get really REALLY old it'll be all gone on paying nurses to wipe my arse etc etc

IMO FWIW This is a Paranal Observatory and operates the ESO Very Large Telescope (VLT) with four 8.2-m telescopes (the Unit Telescopes or short UTs). Each UT provides one Cassegrain and two Nasmyth focus stations for facility instruments. One Nasmyth focus is available for visitor instruments. In addition each UT is equipped with a Coude focus station from which the light can be coherently combined in the interferometric focus. Looks like it could be modified into a Parknob Observatory

From: www.roman-emperors.org Robert Graves' fictional characterization of Claudius as an essentially benign man with a keen intelligence has tended to dominate the wider public's view of this emperor. Close study of the sources, however, reveals a somewhat different kind of man. In addition to his scholarly and cautious nature, he had a cruel streak, as suggested by his addiction to gladiatorial games and his fondness for watching his defeated opponents executed.[[32]] He conducted closed-door (in camera ) trials of leading citizens that frequently resulted in their ruin or deaths -- an unprecedented and tyrannical pattern of behavior HTT = Claudius ????

Generally normal humans ask them in their head, then reply in their head, normally like they dont sit down with themselves and document it in the form of a formal interview on a website. Headlining it under the guise of an interview with an independant interviewer (laughs) 114655[/snapback] Some literary classics have adopted that form. 114659[/snapback] Aye generally in the Fiction category.

Hearing voices now are we ????

wouldnt that make you Parkinson? 114648[/snapback] The interview is recorded in two segments. 114652[/snapback] So it's a hoax interview, can't believe that at all, things like that just don't really happen

Back of the queue son, back of the queue, I currently owe 2 houses, £57,634.05 (the 5 pence was Chris's out of his giro), a Ford Capri, 3 kidneys and a left testicle (after Lovejoy stated that hed give his left bollock if he came) 114646[/snapback] Don't forget the cost of the lethal injection for the guy who said he'd die for the campaign

I didn't like the homophobia myself. 114636[/snapback] Why, what have they ever done to you ??? There'll be an independant interview soon with the campaign to right the wrongs of the phantom texter. Not that the text of the txt will be seen becasue txt talk is banned (a bit like me)

Another example of someone who was made a moderator to keep him there. 61292[/snapback] All of the Baron's best stuff is stolen from Something Awful anyway. There was one time he posted a thread on one version of the board that was a direct copy and paste from a thread on there. It would've been okay if the thread on there had been started by him and he decided to spread his material around, but no. 61330[/snapback] I once saw someone caught plageurising (sp?) on the Packers board I frequent, the person (lady) he "stole" from hunted and hounded him from board to board without mercy, it was beautifull to watch. I know that's totally irrelevant to this discusion but it was a good memory for me . SO THERE

That's a really positive outlook, and I comend you on it but it's bordering on rose tinted. Rose tinted, not really as it's a statstical fact. And YES we struggled yesterday BUT we won. remember Fulham last season, gubbed em and lost, I remember playing Sheff Utd in the 70/80's (yes I AM old) and we absolutely played them off the park (lovely stuff) and got beat 3-0 (Thank you Tony Currie). I'll take the win 53091[/snapback] So we played shit and won, hurrah! Normally we play shit and lose. How are we better off? Edit: In the long term whole picture sense, rather than 3 points on the board for now. 53092[/snapback] We've got better players IMO, and from a points on the board perspective we've only got a few less than almost everyone else, or a few more if you want to be a pessimist. After yesterday we really shouldn't get worse (yet we won) SO we should get better therefore currently we are "competitive" with everyone else (bar one) and hopfully the only way is up. As ever time will tell which way we are really going, for me - I'm more hopefull than dissenchanted. Well as hopefull as a follower of his team can be given our history.

I would suggest that when you consider the fact we're 2 points of third (in an indifferent league) and what that £50 mill brought in we are definitely better off 53057[/snapback] I would suggest that you consider the level of performances we're churning out on the field of play. 53058[/snapback] As Al Davis would say "just win baby" or put another way ""Some of us will do our jobs well and some will not, but we will be judged by only one thing - the result." Vince Lombardi
