they have a shopping mall there which is outdoors, unlike all the others in the States I've seen....imagine... it's the middle of the fucking desert and the savage bastards have you out there in the heat thus forcing you into every second store to cool down. Obscene.

Detritus In biology, detritus is non-living particulate organic material (as opposed to dissolved organic material). It typically includes the bodies or fragments of dead organisms as well as fecal material. Detritus is typically colonized by communities of microorganisms which act to decompose (or remineralize) the material. In terrestrial ecosystems, detritus refers to leaf litter and other organic matter intermixed with soil, here known as humus. In aquatic ecosystems, detritus refers to organic material suspended in water, here known as marine snow. Dead plants or animals, material derived from animal tissues (such as skin cast off during moulting and excreta) gradually lose their form, due to both physical processes and the action of decomposers, including grazers, bacteria and fungi. Decomposition, the process through which organic matter is decomposed, takes place in many stages. Materials like proteins, lipids and sugars with low molecular weight are rapidly consumed and absorbed by micro-organisms and organisms that feed on dead matter. Other compounds, such as complex carbohydrates are broken down more slowly. In addition, the purpose of the various micro-organisms involved is not to break down these materials but to use them to gain the resources they require for their own survival and proliferation, and they are merely breaking them down as part of that process. Accordingly, at the same time that the materials of plants and animals are being broken down, the materials (biomass) making up the bodies of the micro-organisms are built up by a process of assimilation. When micro-organisms die, fine organic particles are produced, and if these are eaten by small animals which feed on micro-organisms, they will collect inside the intestine, and change shape into large pellets of dung. As a result of this process, most of the materials from dead organisms disappears from view and is not obviously present in any recognisable form, but is in fact present in the form of a combination of fine organic particles and the organisms using them as nutrients. This combination is detritus. In ecosystems on land, detritus is deposited on the surface of the ground, taking forms such as the humic soil beneath a layer of fallen leaves. In aquatic ecosystems, most detritus is suspended in water, and gradually settles. In particular, many different types of material are collected together by currents, and much material settles in slowly-flowing areas. Much detritus is used as a source of nutrition for animals. In particular, many bottom feeding animals (benthos) living in mud flats feed in this way. In particular, since excreta are materials which other animals do not need, whatever energy value they might have, they are often unbalanced as a source of nutrients, and are not suitable as a source of nutrition on their own. However, there are many micro-organisms which multiply in natural environments. These micro-organisms do not simply absorb nutrients from these particles, but also shape their own bodies so that they can take the resources they lack from the area around them, and this allows them to make use of excreta as a source of nutrients. In practical terms, the most important constituents of detritus are complex carbohydrates, which are persistent (difficult to break down), and the micro-organisms which multiply using these absorb carbon from the detritus, and materials such as nitrogen and phosphorus from the water in their environment to synthesise the components of their own cells. A characteristic type of food chain called the detritus cycle takes place involving detritus feeders (detritivores), detritus and the micro-organisms that multiply on it. For example, mud flats are inhabited by many univalves which are detritus feeders, such as moon shells. When these detritus feeders take in detritus with micro-organisms multiplying on it, they mainly break down and absorb the micro-organisms, which are rich in proteins, and excrete the detritus, which is mostly complex carbohydrates, having hardly broken it down at all. At first this dung is a poor source of nutrition, and so univalves pay no attention to it, but after several days, micro-organisms begin to multiply on it again, its nutritional balance improves, and so they eat it again. Through this process of eating the detritus many times over and harvesting the micro-organisms from it, the detritus thins out, becomes fractured and becomes easier for the micro-organisms to use, and so the complex carbohydrates are also steadily broken down and disappear over time. What is left behind by the detritivores is then further broken down and recycled by decomposers, such as bacteria and fungi. This detritus cycle plays a large part in the so-called purification process, whereby organic materials carried in by rivers is broken down and disappears, and an extremely important part in the breeding and growth of marine resources. In ecosystems on land, far more essential material is broken down as dead material passing through the detritus chain than is broken down by being eaten by animals in a living state. In both land and aquatic ecosystems, the role played by detritus is too large to ignore.

Nice, have you thrown a dogturd at him?

he's in a quandry eh? I think he would take a small loss on the sale, but retain the £100m debt and place interest on it so at least he has some income from his debacle. He may well try and clear some of that £100m with the whole squad being up for sale.

Does Whitley Bay count as Newcastle Stevie?

Smith and Owen are up there with the worst purchases NUFC have ever made. It is mind boggling our transfer policy down the years...are we top of the flops?

have you seen what they want to do with it. 3 managers this season have left because flavio rather than them picks the team. season ticket prices have gone up. all the loan players don't work in championship football ( they are all from spain and from places like real madrids youth team for example). if he could be hands off then yes absolutely i'd take him, but he can't... Sounds like the kind of thing that could really work for us.

Exactly this. If we spend significantly more than we recoup I will be amazed.

I can. It's all smoke and mirrors man.

Have a horrible feeling this is going to be tense and disappointing and end on penalties. Still, there's always 10 Things you need to know about losing weight on the beeb if it's unbearably shite.

don't the people who own QPR want to buy a proper club?

well said cob, spot on really. A leopard does not change his spots. We are on a highway to hell with this cunt crashing into everything that means something to us all the way. I fear a generation may be lost.

I have to say after both of their early season showings I am very disappointed in them. Brings me back to something I said over and over again, for some reason we ruin lots of players. Goldfish Bowl?

Just remind me please fellow Champion, they made a profit in the transfer window, didn't they?

I think he'll retire and open a badly decorated fast food chain, called EMO's, where he'll dress up like Marty McFly and whisk around on his little skate board singing "Owner of a Lonely Heart, du de du der dum, owner of a broken heart". He'll personally oversee the serving of Goodfella's pizza (the UK's leading frozen pizza brand) and Coke Zero (Coca Cola Taste and Zero Calories). Every Monday evening he'll have a quiz night (sponsored by Timotei - the original nature-inspired hair-care brand) soley featuring questions about his career with England and k-Liverpool, where he alternately invites in Emile Heskey and Stevie G to be Quizmaster and England's Michael Owen usually wins but if on occassion he doesn't he aggressively kicks everyone out crying that it's not his fault he never got past Gary Lineker, it was a conspiracy to sell more Walkers Crisps (just remember every crunch is the best of British!), but he's definitely better than Greavesy no matter what the statistics say. If it's not the above I'm unlikely to follow his future movements.

I'll not be happy till Ashley fucks off no matter what his policy is. He is a lying toad of a man and not fit to be heading up our club, filling it with feckless mates and showing zero respect to the fan's intelligence and faith. Ashley Out.

Say you're fucking delighted you won't have to spend 2 hours in their toilet bowl of a town next season.

Feels almost like cup final day to me. Bring it on, I was prepared for relegation many months ago, but this last chance to avert it is going to be thrilling (unless we go a couple or more behind).

Normally in their late 30's early 40's with dyed hair, impossibly daft choice of clothes (cardigan to hide the fat behind) and some kind of scandal on the jewelry front (chain with a little tiny teeeny wweeny heart on it that makes her face look like an elephant in comparison. Just a guess. I know these types, generally dress like they've got nay mirror tbfh. Also, going DOWN one floor in the lift should be punished with a fucking gastric band.

This. And people taking their time to return to their car after filling it up and paying, while I'm waiting. Hope you hit a truck head on you utter cunt, die, die, die. Actually coming to think of it loads of things about driving piss me off and I'm probably just as guilty myself on some occasions. Once, when very hungover, I sat at a pump for ten minutes waiting for my mate who was inside delivering a hefty load. I was utterly oblivious to the person behind until I began to drive off and saw them absolutely fucking seething in rear view mirror. Ah, we saw some good times, that mirror and me.

Cheers all. Happy Birthday Ant Having a party tonight at my house, however played a five a side tournament yesterday and some twunt tried to volley my foot into next week, won't be getting particularly jiggy with it but will be smashing it hard anyways. Of course I have to wait till Sunday to receive my gift..
