  1. Yeah i saw that, certainly some doubt but it was some housewife from the mid-west who was behind it all so it made me sceptical.
  2. Kaballah=Templars+Bavaria+Vatican=Hitler+SkullandBones-Bloodpillar11=Einstien^6+9/11=Bear Stearns (The Bear Star) +11+33=Jacko.
  3. Dan Brown has ironically done more to discredit this sort of stuff than anyone else. I think the Vatican must be delighted in the success of his books since any mention of events associated with the Knights Templar are now dismissed as 'all that Dan Brown type of shite'. Shame really.
  4. Classic 'Chewbacca Defense' by Leazes.
  5. Handbags. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/...mson-clash.html?
  6. Les Micmacs Tire-Larigot. Good but a bit contrived, which you can forgive since its a bit fantastical.
  7. Dont know the details but if I own something that has a debt of 60m and it also owes me say 5m, administration is a good thing. Thats 55m i dont have to pay back. I'd put the club in administration too, clears the decks of debt and they were getting relegated anyway. If you are definitely going down, the fuck difference does a 10 point deduction make? Get it in now so it doesnt affect the club next year.
  8. We've got our wires crossed then. I thought you were saying they didn't have to apply in the previous post (i.e. even if they moved). So it's just a process really, i.e. it's not 'automatic' because you have to apply before you move rather than moving and having the status taken away. Same difference really. Yeah, they basically had to write to the EU to remove the protected status before they could move the brewery. As they are the supplier the system protects, no-one batted an eye-lid.
  9. Pity it's not made in the North East anymore as well though. Fucking joke that. Particularly after they got Protected Geographical Status for it, then had to apply to cancel it I think they actually lost that as soon as they went to the old Fed Brewery in Dunston although that move was just about acceptable being just over the Tyne. It's made in bloody Yorkshire now though. I rarely touch the stuff like If someone had the 'get up and go' to petition the EU courts about Newcastle Brown PG status, they would more than likely re-grant it. The system is designed to protect the brand's heritage. Just because the brewery applied to cancel it doesnt mean it cant be re-instated. Is anyone else brewing brown ale in the Newcastle region? If they were to start up (for the purposes of having locus standi to petition) I'd imagine S&N would sue them out of existence for breach of IP-unless the new brewer marketed it as something entirely different, but then that would kind of defeat the object. The only legal angle would be to petition the EU court and that should have been what the unions did but they didnt I also believe that Regional Development office should have stepped in, they said they did but not with lawyers by all accounts.
  10. To allow them to move the brewery site outside of Newcastle.

The system is designed to protect the brand's heritage. Just because the brewery applied to cancel it doesnt mean it cant be re-instated. I might be wrong but as I understand it the status was removed as soon as it ceased to be made in Newcastle. I assumed that was an automatic thing rather than something the brewery applied for (the removal). No, the Brewery applied for it, i even read the application on the EU commission site when it happened. It passed without comment because the system is designed around 'Appelation D'origine controlee' or AOC which explicitly works in the interest of the supplier. The situation with Newcastle Brown is just gob-smacking. Imagine if a Bourgogne wine-maker decided to start producing wine in another region (at lower cost). There would be physical violence and possible deaths. The fact that Newcastle Brown's ingredients arent specifically linked to local raw materials (think water supply for whisky) means it doesnt have to be made in Newcastle, so it can be moved. However, under EU law, it is not just the raw materials that allow it protected status (there are two AOC-type conditions for protection). It explicitly states that if the heritage of the 'brand' is connected to an area and a local culture then the supplier can apply to have protected status. Therefore, applying the logic in reverse would allow anyone to petition the AOC lawmakers to grant protection to Newcastle Brown's regional production on the basis of its regional heritage. I can find links but it took me a while the last time.
  12. Is there going to be an insurance plan run by the government like? There are already 2 of them, Medicare and Medicaid. Yes, and fine things they are too. But those limited schemes are already listed above in addition to the "new public plan". Which he (today) is proposing to extend to low income families. http://www.whitehouse.gov/health-care-meet...orking-families

  15. By that i mean 'free healthcare' without any premiums. A public plan is an insurance plan run by the government, not 'free healthcare'.
  16. "If you don’t have health insurance, you will have a choice of new, affordable health insurance options." That is not a 'public option'.
  17. I'm not sure that the personal siutation and motivations of the Danish/Somali family where based upon their reading of EU law either.
  18. Both of those images have got me
  19. http://www.whitehouse.gov/health-care-meeting/proposal
  20. So the democratic promise of a public option, which they used as a platform to get elected, was a lie.....which is all the article is saying. No comment is made on the rights or wrongs of that public option. They ran on 'healthcare reform' not 'a public option'. There was probably a lot of discussion of a public option but pre-election rhetoric was about lowering healthcare costs for families. He did use some language around 'universal healthcare' but i dont recall a public option (which is essentially saying an NHS for low income families).
  21. I'm sure it was added pretty early in the original run though. Only when they knew that the sequels would be made.
  22. Its not about the public option, its about finance. Deficits, recessions, long term tax forecasts and health care spending trends etc. If the US doesnt address these, it is truly fucked financially. That is the impetus for reform, not a public option. In fact, if you ask me, this is the worst time since the 1930s for an economy to introduce a large bureaucratic drain on dwindling tax revenues. Maybe reality is just a bit more complicated than leftist idealism appreciates.
  23. Actually nerdlingers 'episode 4' was added later, it came out as Star Wars.
  24. "Pompey chairman competent" in the week they go into administration And howay Leazes, one of the best posters on here is also one who gives player ratings from listening to the radio? Damning stuff that.
