http://2011.sonar.es/en/artistes/aphex-twin_334.html I reckon Sonar will be better for getting mashed on K and pills all weekend and lets face it, thats what festivals are really about.

That's about midday they're on. Always get dogshit on a main stage at that time. The whole line up is poor iyam though. I might go to hurricane in Germany.

Number 8 is wrong too.

Obama wants to keep US involvement minimal but the Pentagon are like Pooh Bear with his hand in the jar of honey. I do thinks its a bit worrying that there are so many mixed messages on what the UN is meant to be doing though.

New Gold Panda. Lush.

Indeed. And fossil fuels are fucked and renewable resourcing just doesn't have the infrastructure or means to power the entire UK so nuclear is the only viable consideration. Lot of hot air about it recently for obvious reasons but in respect of the Fukishima plant, it's 40 years old and was built to standards that are a fraction of what is allowed these days. It's the most expensive, uneconomical, dangerous and madly subsidised way of boiling water ever devised by man or sparrow. Why you have to ask yourself has it become seemingly the only answer? Come on then Parky, what's the alternative? China and India are 10-20 years away according to this article. Thorium http://www.globalenergymagazine.com/?p=2968 "The advantage of using thorium over uranium-only-fuelled light water reactors (LWRs) is that the raw material is found in quantity around the world. The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) suggests that it is between three and four times more abundant than uranium and also much more efficient in the fuel cycle, too – potentially between 100 and 300 times more fuel efficient than a standard light-water reactor, for example, in terms of material usage. It also generates less waste as a result of this efficiency. In addition, once started, the reactors work at low pressure, minimising the risk of catastrophic accidents – such as Windscale in 1957, Three Mile Island in 1979 and Chernobyl in 1986. Most of the waste will have a much shorter half-life, requiring storage for just a couple of hundred years instead of the thousands of years that standard nuclear waste needs to be stored for. This fact alone could drastically slash the costs associated with nuclear power." I guess that's the end of the alternative sheep bleeting noise in here and it only took me 2 mins of cursory lazy googling... Yes James you totally destroyed the 'what's the alternative to nuclear fuel?' argument by replying 'cheaper, cleaner nuclear fuel'. This is not an anti-nuclear thread, just a nuanced debate about improving the efficiency of nuclear fuel?

What's the alternative?

I thought the stadium naming rights was separate to general sponsorship? Anything that is incremental to previous advertising spaces / revenues could well be done on the cheap for free if it means 'selling' the slot (so naming rights and the thing on the roof are not taking from an existing revenue generating space). Where previous advertising exists, taking those spaces and filling them with SD adverts is financially stupid. If SD branding is only in spaces where previously nothing existed, then you may be right. If SD advertising has displaced other advertising, then the basic analysis should hold. It would be daft to not subsidise the weaker business entity.

I'd rather leave us out of it. I agree that the mackems are a better supported club than Villa and have more potential on a level playing field. The spurious notion of potential and the lack of an actual level playing field makes the comparison a bit iffy though.

Leazes? you young'uns speak strangely sometimes, what the fuck is Madame Koos ? Shite pub/club in the Toon. It's a bit trendy atm until the next one opens. sounds like a brothel He's not that desperate to score.

CT's idea of a balanced diet is a burger in each hand.

It did, i think someone from 4chan also made a keynote at the SXSW new media festival.

Brock posted that days ago Besty. Not sure pre-teen girlie pop and being behind the times is a good place to be.

Parky means well.

As one of the comments says "that's sick tech dude".

Bring it TS.

No, it is debatable. A PLC like SD is very vulnerable to market confidence, and with its supply lines spanning the globe it’s also at the mercy of global politics/economics. It also has no brand loyalty and bargain basement sportswear is a market with no significant barriers to entry except economies of scale. Further, like most floated companies the need to deliver competitive dividends to maintain share value can lead to short term thinking and less than enlightening accounting strategies. All of which means its relative debt/profit/turnover ratio isn’t a crystal clear indicator of financial health. NUFC on the other hand is a very simple business with a rock solid customer base and therefore far more resilient to external factors and the dark side of the free market. Resilient to things like relegation you mean? The ultimate expression of failure in a competitive environment. The point was that SD is stronger financially than NUFC. The financial data proves this, so am not debating it anymore.

Based on yesterday's performance presumably.

So its not really debateable which of the two companies is in a better financial position.

Wacky's ying to Gemmill's yang.

I dont understand? You saying that he would HAVE to of paid NUFC for SD's advertising? Doesnt have to but why waste the opportunity to distribute wealth between the businesses? By not charging anything, he strengthens SD which is already strong and weakens NUFC which he apparently has to subsidise. Would make no sense to pass on the opportunity. A little over two years again SD was carrying £450m of debt. This figure has improved but they still had to arrange a three year £220m banking facility recently. In absolute terms it’s debatable which of the two companies is in the worse financial position. In 2007 http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/migrati...-toes-curl.html This increased to an amount more normal for a company this size (through acquisitions i would assume) to £230m last year. Last year's revenue was £820m. If NUFC had debts equal to 25% of annual revenue, our debt would be £20m.

He looks amazing. Best foreign centre half in the Prem in years he'll prove to be skill on him is like a top class play maker. Who would walk the streets with that haircut though? Well other than Tom? FFS. Quality on the ball, the way he did Dzeko today nipping the ball past him and then launching an attack was mint. Am sure the last time i watched him Ancelotti played him at right back. Could be wrong but he is well suited to that role next to someone like Terry. He looks like he'd be comfortable anywhere on the pitch. Complete footballer. First game I saw him at Fulham he did an overhead kick from near the corner flag as good as any cross, I knew he was something special then. Tell you what though I'm not convinced by Dzeko yet for £26m like. Me neither, hasnt got a goal in the league yet and never really looked close today. Chelsea defended well mind and Luiz was outstanding. If i hadnt seen much of him i wouldnt be convinced by Carroll for £35m either. Had a decent header cleared off the line but little else.
