McFaul

Different culture mate. While the Japanese are currently facing hell on earth, here in Australia a 101 year old lady has her watch and shopping money stolen by a pair of middle aged men who obviously preyed on her and waited for an opportune time to nail her. A 95 year old blind woman gets bashed and robbed and an 80 year old bloke coming home from watching the movies gets pummeled and is left lying on the middle of the road. On the weekend a few coppers get blood spat in their face for trying to break up a fight. I've always said Australia and particularly America are our naughty kids who have turned in to right wronguns. unfortunately, import all the bad 'uns and you go the same way, like the UK is doing. etc etc ad infinitum obvious even to a blind man. I was down in London this week and practically anybody who serves you in food jobs etc or any low paid service industry is an EC (former Eastern bloc) or third country worker. The overwhelming majority are here grafting. To call them all 'bad uns' is laughable and based on nowt more than the Daily Mail's fabrication of the truth. A smart lad like you should get yourself out there and see it for yourself rather than being spoon fed what to think by the media. There are some 'bad uns' but broadly speaking as a percentage base they'll mirror UK indigenous 'bad uns'. Any non-British national (individually) in breach of the law should be considered for deportation. That's a perfectly fair and proportionate position to take and I don't think anyone would disagree, but your starting point generalisation (above) is just racism at the end of the day whichever way you dress it up. hoho. I don't read the Daily Mail, as you stalk me so much you should have read me posting this many times. I've seen enough of the world sonny, thank you. Save your namby pamby liberalism for someone else. At the end of the day, screaming "racist" at people who can see the direction the country is going and are concerned about it, is the act of a laughable leftie tosspot who sits in an ivory tower, brainwashed and a blind fool. I don't know where you think you are a smart lad, because for me you're just a complete idiot with an ego problem who can't even admit when they are wrong. Fat bastards like me live out of Subways, Burger King's and Costa Coffee's when I'm away working in London. Like mancmag says you go in these shops in London and they're running round like they're on speed, the noise is incredible. The nearest Subway to my work. 7 people in a line, one fucking about doing fuck all looking like a manager, one cutting the bread, one putting the meat on, one putting your salad on, one putting the mayonaise on, one beside the oven, two at the till, one of them fucking about with the water and crisps. All in a line like battery hens. Was the same people every day, two Indians I'd guess, two Somali's maybe, two Poles one of them fit as fuck, and maybe a Turk, and all of them were like battery hens grafting like fuck. That type of immigrant is what we need, grafting like fuck for £7 an hour doing jobs clearly white people don't want to do in the City, you can't slag them or fault them for that, and generalise that they're all cunts.

The bloke who used to do the red indian style war cries? Fucking hell I remember him. Weird seeing all the half toon / half brazil bobble hats again too. Didn't they used to do half toon / half rangers and half toon / half celtic ones too? He was mint. He seemed to fuck off after the relegation season. My bobble hat was 3/4 toon 1/4 Brazil. Aye me mate had toon/celtic, you could get Aberdeen Toon ones too iirc.

What age are you like LTB, I thought you were 30, you'd have been 7 then cos I was 10. Mint memory

Been speaking to Clare Balding today, she said look if I was putting my mortgage on anything at Cheltenham it would be Big Bucks today. It's only evens like, just passing the message on straight from the horses mouth as it were.

Lush innit, was nearly bubbling when first saw it ! . . Only just got onto this thread tonight . . Sombreros at top of cornrer haha. Can y remember Mira kicking Beasant at FT in the cup replay (night time game) . Was a sneaky kck from behind im sure . Beasant livid n chased him up the pitch. Was at Ggate and Mira headed off zig-zaggin towards the East Stand/Leases corner (!?) his little legs givin it 6 nowt and Bsant all arms aloft n gloves like a Wookie, was fuckin hilarious. Aye he kicked him up the arse, he did it to a few different people that season. Best memory of that season was when we beat West Ham 2-1 last game, Gazza's last ever turn oot for the toon. Some bloke kicked the ball back on from the benches near the corner. He had one of them 80's slip on shoes on and it flew right on to the pitch, and just his luck landed right beside Gazza. He picked it up, smelled it and fell down on the floor from the fumes. The full Gallowgate was piss themselves. In fact I loved that season, we come 8th, but we got off to a shit start we could've been top 4 or 5 with a better start.

To be fair he wasn't fully fit and had been pure pish in the previous 18 months. Not that I'm putting a positive slant on it for Kinnear, just I remember how many people on here were saying what a shite footballer he was. I remember 4 or 5 years ago, I said on N-O that Nolan finishing wise and in other aspects of his game, was TECHNICALLY excellent, many mugs like Baggio tried to ridicule and laugh at that, but who's been right all along? There's so many people who watch football who can't translate what they're seeing in to correct opinions or worthwhile views, the Nolan one held on N-O in 2006 typifies this. Mass media driven monkeys.

It would blow the machine up.

Rob Lee is a proper cockney by definition and he's one of the most popular figures in the clubs history, same with Les although from Hammersmith, he is to a dense geordie a "cockney", funny that they are popular, maybe it has something to do with the fact they were fucking great and never moaned?

I tried the new version of Twitter, and does it fuck work, I revert to the old one and there's gaps in that like Peter says.

If I jump to your Twitter page I can see it, can't see them in my timeline though. Can you see this from me in yours? craighayton Think my twitter is up the spout - not getting any updates in my timeline. Odd. 57 minutes ago No mate, just when I jump on your page.

Can you see these on yours Craig?

Aye last one I got was 2 hours ago off Rio Ferdinand saying Happy St Patricks Day. My personal messages have all fucked off as well, and I was expecting a few this morning.

You'll be alright in the North, south of Florence, oh dear. Been a mad year for seismic activity, it's not just a normal year. Three biggies in less than 9 month, fuckin massive ones really, Iceland stopped all air travel, when did that ever happen? New Zealand's worst in 90 year, and Japan's worst ever. Don't anyone say it's just normal, not on this size all in the same space of time it's not normal. The earth's having a good fuckin moan, and so it should with all us humans fucking it up. Alex mentioned Dave Angel the DJ the other day but you definitely are like the one off the fast show. "Stevie McFaul: psychic, earth mother, scouse hating, fat bastard" Could be your epitaph that. Borderline surely.

Aye haha, just that one line just a bit of crack. Like on Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, there's a prize for the finder, I decided the first one to spot it was getting £5k when I win the national lottery.

so what are you suggesting that would actually help? There is no solution unless people are willing to give up their lives. Where's the kamakaze style spirit now? I wouldn't dee it like.

So how's it nonsense you old cunt? Show me the last 9.0 earthquake, and Iceland aye what a densely populated place. The three events are 1 in 4 or 5 year occurances, they've all happened in the last 8 month.

Fuck off you twat. Rangers fans are pure scum, simple as. Twat. So are many Celtic fans. You can't say they're not just because you're catholic, it makes you just as dense as the bigots on both sides. However back to Clee's post. "Englishmen saying Celtic are better than Rangers". What difference does it make if I say they are or they're not, what baring does being English have on it. Regardless what their beliefs are, they're a foreign club to English people so why as an Englishmen should I allign myself to one or the other? Because a tiny minority of arseholes disrespect the memory of our fallen war heroes? Fuck that. In my experience, and I've known a lot, Celtic fans can be fuckin complete pricks, but a majority in my experience understand what common decency is, whereas Rangers - a majority of their support, even watching an European tie in a pub in London, can't help but expose their ingrained hate and bigotry on a regular basis. What my Englishness has to do with this escapes me. You say you're a Newcastle fan, possibly one of the Keegan generation which is fair enough, but if you know your history* it's enough to make your heart go woah, woah, woah, when you think of what Rangers fans did to this city in 1969, people who saw the events first hand will take the memories to their grave.

Mint that. I was at that game, hated Wimbledon, horrible tactics, and they dumped us out both cups that season too. Watching that reminded me just how greedy Mirandinha was, fuck knows why David Burton was calling him Miranjina though. That Chinese bloke had me creased

In The Telegraph in the morning, the French are now saying Japan is fucked. Tokyo is going to be like the scene at the end of Logan's Run in a years time. Mark my words. Japan nuclear plant: Just 48 hours to avoid 'another Chernobyl' Japan has 48 hours to bring its rapidly escalating nuclear crisis under control before it faces a catastrophe “worse than Chernobyl”, it was claimed last night. This image made available from Tokyo Electric Power Co. via Kyodo News, shows the damaged No. 4 unit of the Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear complex in Okumamachi, northeastern Japan Photo: AP Gordon Rayner and Martin Evans 10:52PM GMT 16 Mar 2011 Nuclear safety officials in France said they were “pessimistic” about whether engineers could prevent a meltdown at the Fukushima power plant after a pool containing spent fuel rods overheated and boiled dry. Last night radiation levels were “extremely high” in the stricken building, which was breached by an earlier explosion, meaning that radiation could now escape into the atmosphere. Tokyo Electric, the owners of the plant, said five workers had been killed at the site, two were missing and 21 had been injured. Last night a US nuclear safety chief said that the Japanese government had failed to acknowledge the full seriousness of the situation at the Fukushima plant and that warnings to citizens had been insufficient and understated. Gregory Jaczko, the chairman of the United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission, warned that if “extremely high” radiation levels increased it would become impossible for workers to continue to take “corrective measures” at the plant as they would be forced to flee. As Japan resorted to increasingly desperate measures — including dumping water on the site from helicopters — there were accusations that the situation was now “out of control”.

The EU has even urged member states to check Japanese food imports for radioactivity. Emperor Akihito made a rare address to the nation, urging the Japanese to pull together, but hinted at his own fears for the nuclear crisis saying: “I hope things will not get worse.” In London, the FTSE-100 share index slumped as news of the latest emergency emerged, closing 1.7 per cent down. The official death toll from last Friday’s earthquake and tsunami stood at 4,314 last night, with another 8,606 listed as missing. Thousands of people still waiting for food aid in the most remote areas of the disaster zone endured fresh misery yesterday as heavy snow began to fall across northern Japan. But all eyes were on the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant as Japanese authorities admitted concerns over rising temperatures in three pools containing spent fuel rods. A failure of the cooling system that has crippled the entire plant led to water boiling in the No 4 pool. Last night the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission (USNRC) said there was no water left in the pool, resulting in “extremely high” radiation levels. An earlier fire and explosion in the No 4 reactor building is thought to have breached the protective walls around the pool. A statement from the USNRC said: “We believe that secondary containment has been destroyed and there is no water in the spent fuel pool and we believe that radiation levels are extremely high which could possibly impact the ability to take corrective measures.” If the water has gone, a US nuclear safety official warned, there is nothing to stop the fuel rods from getting hotter and ultimately melting down. The outer shell of the rods could also ignite with enough force to propel the radioactive fuel inside over a wide area, . Jeremy Browne, the Foreign Office minister, said: “There is clearly an evolving situation and things are clearly getting worse at the Fukushima nuclear plant.” Attempts to cool the site by dumping sea water from helicopters had to be aborted at one stage because of dangerous radiation levels in the air above the plant. A police water cannon was brought in to help blast water into the overheating reactors and pools, but there were warnings that it may be too late to prevent a disaster. Thierry Charles, a safety official at France’s Institute for Radiological Protection and Nuclear Safety (IRSN), said: “The next 48 hours will be decisive. I am pessimistic because, since Sunday, I have seen that almost none of the solutions has worked.” He described the situation as “a major risk”, but added: “All is not lost.” Asked about the maximum possible amount of radioactive release, he said “it would be in the same range as Chernobyl”. The incident at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant in Ukraine on April 26 1986 is estimated to have caused 57 direct deaths, with some 4,000 additional deaths from cancer. Francois Baroin, a French government spokesman, went further, saying: “In the worst of cases, it could have an impact worse than Chernobyl.” He added: “They have visibly lost the essential of control the total mugs.” Malcolm Grimston, a British nuclear expert at the Chatham House think tank, played down suggestions of an impending disaster, saying Fukushima was not like Chernobyl. “We’re nearly five days after the fission process was stopped, the levels of radioactive iodine will only be about two-thirds of where they were at the start, some of the other, very short-lived, very radioactive material will be gone altogether by now,” he said. Earlier, Nathalie Kosciusko-Morizet, France’s ecology minister, had said that “the worst scenario is possible and even probable”. At one point, radiation levels at the plant rose to such dangerous levels that all workers were evacuated from the site. A 180-strong team was later allowed back to continue attempts to cool the fuel rods, but the government raised the maximum allowable radiation exposure for workers from 100 millisieverts per year to 250, which it said was “unavoidable due to the circumstances”. The Pentagon ordered its armed forces, which had been sent to Japan to help with the relief effort, to retreat to 50 miles away from the plant, more than four times the 12-mile limit imposed by the Japanese government. Yukiya Amano, the International Atomic Energy Agency’s director general, said the situation was “very serious” and announced he would fly to Japan today for a first-hand briefing on the crisis.

Couldn't even tell you why but this is one of my fav music video's ever.

Happened to me on bonfire neet 1991 eating a half cooked tattie off the fire. Why did we used to dee that? A naa we'll put a tattie on a dirty stick chuck it on the fire pull it oot and eat it.
