Had a look at the clip on the Newsnight website, some of it looks quite juicy. The bit about Charleloi looked a little flimsy but Charles Collymore more or less names and shames. I don't care who's involved-it'll be better for everyone if those guilty get the appropriate kicking.

Well, that's the strangest 'ask the seller' question I've seen.

I think you're massively underestimating the power of Vatican, particularly in Southern Europe and South America. And you can't compare the Queen and the Pope as only the latter can be considered as a spiritual leader. Although they are both German.

I'll have to stop you there, because that is bollocks.

Gig was canny enough. Noble was class, top stuff.

Knobjockey.

Nothing unfortunate about that!

Quicker off the mark than any of them. I doubt many are brave enough to heckle! Although I was amused by some of the cringes when Gina Yashere made everyone laugh by saying a naughty word. Dismal.

I've not watched a lot of Extras but tuned in tonights seeing as it was sandwiched in between Dragon's Den and Mitchell and Webb. The scenes on the sitcom set were pretty good but at times other parts were laboured. It could probably function better as a funnier 15 miunte programme if there wasn't the requirement to construct a suitable drop in appearance of a celeb. Maybe that's not the point? Liked M&W, thought the 'medical drama' sketch was brilliant. All followed by 'Mock the Week' which could equally be titled 'an assortment of some funny people and some talentless goons' but I guess that doesn't have the same ring to it.

Just about to join this poker bandwagon as a mate of mine is starting a few poker nights in a month or so and I've no intention of donating my stash without a fight. What's the best site for getting to grips with the game- I know a lot of the casinos have a downloadable exe- any recommendations? It goes without saying that as a n00b, all previous posts seem to be in code.

I thought the police chopper was flying around with this flash right outside my window, didn't hear the thunder with my headphones on!

I guess it depend how you look at what is 'British'. I bet your Home Counties middle-englanders would see Britain in a different way to you or I might (unless you like Pimms, LM?). Is the way some Asian communities choose to isolate themselves (Bradford being the recent example) any different to these walled estates filled with luxury houses and Lexi? Should we be getting the well-to-do to put more effort into hobnobbing with the common man in the same way we are expecting Muslims to integrate into an Anglo-Saxon Christian culture? Crucially, does the state have the right to stop people isolating themselves?

It's an unfortunate side effect of the freedom Britain affords its residents that people have more freedom to harm the country. The irony being they are trying to destroy the freedom that given them room to operate. The only solution is to maintain good intelligence and not to tolerate those who preach for the destruction of the country. This is cut-and-dried treason and should be punished accordingly. From what I've seen on TV most of these British suicide bombers were known as 'good kids' then became obsessed with extremist Islamic groups. Young, disenfranchised men have always been and always will be easy prey for the cowards running these operations. I don't doubt some of the bombers were evil and hate filled, but I cannot avoid the feeling that vulnerable people have been brainwashed into mass murder. They are guilty, of course, but it is the masterminds who are the outright culprits. We must not tolerate preachers of hate. That doesn't mean disapprove in public. It means they are to be locked up and denied the opportunity to communicate with the outside world and spread further hatred. I don't beleive it's because they haven't led a 'British' way of life because that is impossible to define. You could draw ethnic, religious of language lines but there are any number of 'ways of life' across the social spectrum. Is the the way of life in Mayfair the same as in Moss Side, that of a stockbroker the same as a streetsweeper? They'll have different values too, surely?

A slightly younger Warnock for comparison

You mean like world champion 2005 Fernando Alonso?

Not going this time, I'll be otherwise engaged in the posh seats.

I was always a good lad at school and generally stayed out of bother. I don't look back with a huge amount of nostalgia. Some things were fun- the fantasy football league we had was often won by forcing other managers to transfer players for small fees 'or else' (talk about realism). We had a bit of a laugh but by 6th form I couldn't wait to get away and I've not stepped back in the building since the day I picked up my A-Level results. Nee girls which was great to start with but as the years went on became more and more of an incovenience. At least the yard was just for football.

Dont forget these

Had one a few months now- no problems, dead easy to use, very good camera and screen resolution if you're bothered for that stuff- I mainly like the walkman function. I got a 2GB Memory Stick Duo card for £35 off ebay- probably get bigger ones now for less. That equates to roughly 30 albums.

You'll need to log in to your router and check the wireless settings. Get a few screenshots if you can.

What sort of setup have you got? Modem and wireless access point/router or all in one modem/router? Could be that your broadcast ID is off and for some reason your PC has decided to forget the connection details. You'd need to re-enable the broadcast to re-connect. Have you tried right clicking on the network symbol in the system tray (as you've shown above) and selecting 'view available networks' (or words to that effect)? See what networks are listed and hopefully yours should be one of them.

At the time we were looking at Prutton primarily.

Had the misfortune of seeing him recently at a stoodent comedy night (which was unfortunate enough in the first place, I suppose). He turned up about an hour late and reeled off a grumpy 15-minute set of what effectively amounted to "right, I'll play a riff/impersonate a silly voice and you have to guess who it is", ending with a song about how religion is quite nasty sometimes and a version of Robbie Williams' "Angels" that concluded "He's shagging fellas instead". Groundbreaking. 180226[/snapback] Did he do the thing with the queen mother's head in the newspaper, and the songs about religion and war? Because he did that in 2002!

Scruffy looking bloke? If it's him I've seen him on Paramount and he was superb. Best standup I've ever seen is 'Ray Peacock' (Ian Boldsworth). Just as well he was good, as the support act barely raised a chuckle. Rob Deering is OK but hasn't changed his act in 4 years.
