Craig

Absolutely non-existant - I'm a qualified engineer, I only turned to IT after I left university and decided engineering wasn't for me... Anyway, back to DNA, I got a response from him....

Now THERE's a surprise.... Didn't see that one coming at all! * - won't be SBR, ruled himself out already...

"Robert" and "consistent" in the same sentence?? I beg to differ..... 47059[/snapback] More consistent than any alternative we've seen on the left so far. 47065[/snapback] I still beg to differ... Laurent Robert has, without doubt, to be the most inconsistent player I've ever seen in 23 years of following Newcastle United. If you're talking about Frenchmen, and in particular left wingers, I think Ginola (while far from perfect) was a million times more consistent than Robert. 47078[/snapback] I did say consistently for more than a dog watch. Ginola didn't do the business for very long, did he? I'm not even going to think about coming up with names of players who might be considered more inconsistent than Robert, I'm not that bothered. I do understand that consistency is important, and it's frustrating that Robert doesn't score a couple of goals every game for 38 games, while at the same time tackling like Dave Mackay (making him the best player in the world probably). So let's get rid of him and replace him with someone who might well be more consistent but who might be consitently average at this level. We haven't seen much of Lucky, but does he look like a bulldog in the tackle to you? Does he look like he's going to be tracking back and sweating his bollocks off covering the fullback? Zog isn't the answer. 47085[/snapback] This has nowt to do with whether we were right or wrong to sell him, we're talking about his consistency - something which was more lacking in him than any other player I've seen in a black and white shirt. Plenty have played for us and been consistently shite, one or two have even been consistently good - but very few have fluctuated completely from one end of the spectrum to the other in consecutive games, and none as much as he did... The only thing he was consistent with was frustrating the fuck out of the fans....

I went to school with a kid called Joe Bater.... Jesus wept, did he have the piss ripped out of him - poor sod!

Yep, my brother did his PhD in it! So your brother knows a fair bit about genetics then. You though... ? 47104[/snapback] I dunno what you crazy Aussies do with your siblings, but we do actually converse from time to time....

I didn't like them so tried something different.... The old ones still remain, just been put to one side, that's all....

Fixed!

OK, current size and two smaller sizes - which do you people prefer? *I personally think the last one is too small

If you want it more work-friendly, you could always use this.... http://www.toontastic.net/forum/lofiversion/index.php 46957[/snapback] Oh my that's ugly!! I don't like the new thingummys. They're very intrusive and scupper my visual joy of the board. Or something. 47068[/snapback] They may end up being reduced in size.....

Uncanny....

He most certainly was talking out of his arse and has now be 'rightly' struck-off the medical register IIRC...

FFS. The only people who have identical DNA are identical twins. This is 'O' level standard biology. Otherwise there would be clones of yourself walking down the street. I've already explained why you can never definitely prove two samples are the same - because they don't compare the entire DNA genome which is massive - equivalent to several volumes of the encyclopedia Brittanica. Btw Craig, I used a variety of molecular biology techniques in my PhD as well. I am by no means an expert but I know that I don't have the same genetic code as anyone else! 47055[/snapback] I've never said you've got exactly the same DNA as someone else.... What I am saying is that DNA testing is not conclusive as it is possible for the sample one person gives to match up with a sample that another person gives... Hence why I've said that DNA testing is not 'exact'.... * - remember you were originally talking about DNA profiling rather than a persons entire DNA structure!

Aye, I had a look for them but to no avail. Mind you, I did here that those frozen fruit juice drinks they used to stick in the freezer were also really bad for your teeth as they killed the gums or something. And then there was dare devil gob stoppers - probably illegal under EU law now. 47018[/snapback] You dont get out shopping much do you? Have a wander to Morrisons, Wham bars there 10p each. 47044[/snapback] I meant on the site. I've seen them in the shops, and they've definitely shrunk! 47052[/snapback] Not used to searching either are you? http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=%22wh...G=Google+Search

I'm waiting to get the full SP on it (waiting for the swine to answer his email) but I know they've proved that it is not 100% unique. The can use DNA to say 'that in all probability' but they can never use it to say 'this definitely was the case'...

Shame Peter Crouch doesn't play for them, you could have knee-capped the bastard and imitated him! 47046[/snapback] If you think Im gonna pull on one them shirts to get in then oh by the way folks I've only missed one home Makem game in the last 20 years, guess which one it was.... So on your heads be it if we get beat 47048[/snapback] Well we've lost 3 in the last 20 years, so I take it you were at the other two??

Exact?? Not a word I'd choose to use when talking about DNA profiling.... It can be used to define the probability that a person has done something, but it cannot be used to prove they have because it simply isn't unique... 47035[/snapback] I'm pretty sure my DNA code is unique like, unless unknown to me I have an identical twin or clone. Do you know much about genetics Craig? Otherwise there's not much point in talking about it. 47038[/snapback] Yep, my brother did his PhD in it! It's what the whole argument about the biometric ID cards is all about. DNA is not 100% unique, like finger-printing, it is widely believed that it is but they can never use it as 100% proof. I'll have to check with him for the exact figures, but the chances of 2 people having the same DNA is somewhere around 1 in a million - it's unlikely that you'd ever find a complete match up, but it's not impossible. That is why they can never use DNA to convict someone - they'll use it to provide 'beyond resonable doubt', but it can never be 100% certain...

Was the famous 'Tea Lady' involved in this altercation? Bet she wasn't too chuffed that her egg mayo rolls were getting lobbed about the place!

Did you like Everton as well? 47027[/snapback] Imposters.... Them fuckers were black and white!

Hamstring?

An opinion maybe - a STRONG opinion - not yet 46969[/snapback] I didn't necessarily mean you Rob, it's more the people who seem certain she did it. 46972[/snapback] Seem certain?? More like are certain..... Scary thing is, these people are now old enough to carry out jury service - I'd hate to be in the dock if they were on the jury, that's for sure...
