  1. Fits in great with our new pyramid formation
  2. Is there any truth in this as the only item that comes up on google search "Danny Simpson contract"......is this thread.
  3. While driving the other day I go to thinking about Christians being thrown to the lions, as you do. It struck me whether this really happened, and if so how sick you would need to be to get your kicks watching someone torn to pieces by a Lion. Anyway, forgot all about it til today so had a quick google and came across a site called...."The Straight Dope --- Fighting Ignorance since 1973". http://www.straightdope.com/columns/read/2...wn-to-the-lions Quite an interesting read when you see what the Romans actually got up to. No particular written evidence of Christians being fed to lions as such, but "death by beast" was quite a common sentence. Feel free to include any other "evil ancestors". I here the Chinese could be quite imaginative.
  4. Wassat? Whats a wassat? Its like a jusstlikethat, but a whatsthat http://epetitions.direct.gov.uk/petitions/2199Full He's getting all the celebs involved in getting their followers to sign up. Gone from about 9,000 to 50 odd thousand in 24 hours. Has also said he wont tweet any of his normal stuff until it reaches 100,000
  5. hence the need for Marveaux and Obertan....(I hate not having an edit fucntion)
  6. Joey Barton doing himself some good for a change with this Hillsborough petition.
  7. Im just going back and forth with various outcomes. On the one hand, that horrific image of them celebrating our relegation comes to mind and on the other, Sammy comes on as a late sub, the chants from Darlo go up and he grabs a a last minute winner. Churning.
  8. fuckin you honestly couldn't make mackems up, as a place or a peoples. They should just keep their heads down till the abuse is over and don't even try abusing us because it's like a plastic straw against a Samurai sword what we can say about them..... which answers this point ..only it is justified. What a fucking crock of shit. What that should be entitled is "What we like to believe". No doubt they got all that from a "mag at work" Lass I work with reckons they will win 3-1 (mackem). I reminded her that they haven't put 3 past us since 78/79 in the league. Mind, I also changed her desktop image to a magpie (from that one that landed on the pitch) and her screen saver to "SMB". Childish I know Cracking credentials for forum admin if your ever at a loose end.
  9. The Deadman Question. Since his arrival there have been various theories as to whether this is an alias of another poster, someone on the wum or a real person. Originally I thought he was a wum but had lately accepted that he might be a genuine character. Now there is a video in the youtube section where someone is saying that is Deadman. The person in that video seems a million miles away from the posting style of Deadman. (Trying to be very careful here). Can someone just clear this up. Is he real, is that him on you tube, has it all been a hoax.????
  10. Enrique concern for Newcastle's future and admits: I had to get out of Toon
  11. Got my stomach churning watching that. If only you knew the score at the start of derby week you could flipping enjoy it. Its my wedding anniversary on Saturday and the wifes going really overboard about how good my present is going to be off her. Now of course this could just be a ploy to ensure her present is impressive, however I just have this niggling feeling that she has managed to get me a ticket for this. Now dont get me wrong, a ticket to the derby is a wonderful thing, but I've always disliked going to the away ones. At St James you are mainly with your own and their fans are a small section so that if all goes wrong you can try and ignore them and get quickly out of the ground to drown your sorrows while they are locked in. The thought of being trapped in their stadium to witness a defeat makes me feel physically sick. Im the sort who usually goes for a walk when the penalty shoot outs are on because I cant bear to watch. As I said at the beginning, stomach churning.
  12. Well its all kicking off in the world economy as markets crash and manufacturing output in key American states drops by 30 odd %. Listening to a few of the economists on Newsnight it just backs up how globalisation has left us fucked in the West with little chance of any reversal of fortune unless unpalatable measures are taken such as doing away with minimum wages and basically taking a 2 or 30 year backward step. This all should have kicked off in the early 2000's, but all western governments blatantly allowed the debt culture to get out of control as this overspending kept the economies ticking over. European leaders are simply putting off the inevitable break-up of the European Zone or European Government and leaders on Both sides of the Atlantic seem unwilling to allow the banks, still heavily indebted, to fall. Political will and policy is nowhere to be found with most leaders hoping to kick the pain down the road a few years to the next guy. The days of this being about Labour or Conservative or whether to cut slowly or a bit faster seem pointless. While a few economists will theorise, the people who need to find answers have nothing. We are doomed......doomed.
