Christmas Tree

Cut taxes and cut regulation for the fuckers. still... ...at least there'll be less potholes for the CEOs driving their Jags about. Surely you understand the benefit to us all of making corporation tax as low as possible. And I can assure you that its the like of Taxi drivers and hauliers that are far more bothered about pot holes than CEO's.

Give me a cut and you can stand on top of my High Roof Taxi while I park up with the hazzards on. Jobs a good un.

Yet again another brilliant budget from George. Definitely restoring the health of this great country. A+

Mulder and scaly would have a field day with you lot.

I blame your curry recipe :( :icon_lol: :icon_lol: ;) ;)

Right bunch of sickly fuckers you lot.

Fiery prawns, just consumed, 3 x Kronnenburgs shortly and then rump steak either on a plate as is or in a curry. "Lifestyle change". All healthy foods young grasshopper and the Kronnenburgs are my weekly vice.

Signs of spring.... Not lambs a frolicking but 30 - 40 years old men in shorts and boots power washing their driveways.

Cheeky fucker (nearly a stone in 6 weeks) Dr Gloom, get yerself in the pushchair thread. Three wheels and jogging while you babysit is the answer.

..... attempting to play the same game as Saddam did and laugh at everybody for being too timid like he did ..... Here are the differences between George W. Bush’s invasion of Iraq in 2003 and the current United Nations action in Libya: 1. The action in Libya was authorized by the United Nations Security Council. That in Iraq was not. By the UN Charter, military action after 1945 should either come as self-defense or with UNSC authorization. Most countries in the world are signatories to the charter and bound by its provisions. 2. The Libyan people had risen up and thrown off the Qaddafi regime, with some 80-90 percent of the country having gone out of his hands before he started having tank commanders fire shells into peaceful crowds. It was this vast majority of the Libyan people that demanded the UN no-fly zone. In 2002-3 there was no similar popular movement against Saddam Hussein. 3. There was an ongoing massacre of civilians, and the threat of more such massacres in Benghazi, by the Qaddafi regime, which precipitated the UNSC resolution. Although the Saddam Hussein regime had massacred people in the 1980s and early 1990s, nothing was going on in 2002-2003 that would have required international intervention. 4. The Arab League urged the UNSC to take action against the Qaddafi regime, and in many ways precipitated Resolution 1973. The Arab League met in 2002 and expressed opposition to a war on Iraq. (Reports of Arab League backtracking on Sunday were incorrect, based on a remark of outgoing Secretary-General Amr Moussa that criticized the taking out of anti-aircraft batteries. The Arab League reaffirmed Sunday and Moussa agreed Monday that the No-Fly Zone is what it wants). 5. None of the United Nations allies envisages landing troops on the ground, nor does the UNSC authorize it. Iraq was invaded by land forces. 6. No false allegations were made against the Qaddafi regime, of being in league with al-Qaeda or of having a nuclear weapons program. The charge is massacre of peaceful civilian demonstrators and an actual promise to commit more such massacres. 7. The United States did not take the lead role in urging a no-fly zone, and was dragged into this action by its Arab and European allies. President Obama pledges that the US role, mainly disabling anti-aircraft batteries and bombing runways, will last “days, not months” before being turned over to other United Nations allies. 8. There is no sectarian or ethnic dimension to the Libyan conflict, whereas the US Pentagon conspired with Shiite and Kurdish parties to overthrow the Sunni-dominated Baathist regime in Iraq, setting the stage for a prolonged and bitter civil war. 9. The US has not rewarded countries such as Norway for entering the conflict as UN allies, but rather a genuine sense of outrage at the brutal crimes against humanity being committed by Qaddafi and his forces impelled the formation of this coalition. The Bush administration’s ‘coalition of the willing’ in contrast was often brought on board by what were essentially bribes. 10. Iraq in 2002-3 no longer posed a credible threat to its neighbors. A resurgent Qaddafi in Libya with petroleum billions at his disposal would likely attempt to undermine the democratic experiments in Tunisia and Egypt, blighting the lives of millions. Not for one minute saying Im fully upto speed on all the facts re this, but so much of the above seems mis-leading at best. 80 or 90 % of Libyans had risen up? I dont remember that. The scenes of anti government demonstration were nowhere near as comparible as what went on in Egypt. Were there any demonstrations at all in the capitol, Tripoli? The country has always been a collection of two main tribes. One in the east and one in the west. It seems that the unrest was mainly in the east not west (or vice versa). When the "peaceful" protests didnt catch on, as in Egypt, they then armed themselves, became rebels and that is mainly when the fighting started. The vast majority of the Libyan people demanded a no fly zone. Really? facts / figures? The Arab league asked for a no fly zone to protect civilians, not military strikes, hence the current wobbling going on. Point 5. The word envisage should tell you all you need to know. Point 8. It is indeed a tribal fight taking place. The bottom line has to be "why the UK once again". Could the Arab league, with their billions of wealth and armoury bought from the west not sorted this out themselves. They have enough warplanes to do it. Then you have all the usual arguments about why Libya and not yemen or Rwanda etc etc. I think opinion polls today showing 35% ish support reflect a lot of peoples thoughts that we are basically sick of our governments trying to be the worlds policeman. Can only see this ending in the splitting of Libya into two and years and years of wasted billions of uk money trying to sort the mess out.

I here voices telling me to seek out victims via the internet for torture. Sure its nothing.

Beardsley'esque

Not really Kev, but I have a reputation to keep up

Weigh in day! Had Man Flu for about 4 or 5 days and have not been my usual healthy or active new self. Pulled up outside WW HQ, pondered the forthcoming bad news and decided to give it a miss this week. Drove to the local to get our lass's white lightning and on the road home, passed WW HQ, I was overcome with guilt for being such a wuss and so went in. Another 2lb off 2 more next week and thats a full fucking stone.

Think you need to come and cook!

Sure I remember Beardsley scoring a pretty similar one. Think it was for England.

Just in case anyone hasnt seen it. Smile.

Bit harsh. He had a volley saved on the line. His passing rate was 80% (better than Tiotes) and his tackling ratio was 100%.

Whats the thought from everyone after his appearance yesterday? Think 352 was a hard one for him to come in to, but his attacking play was pretty good even though some of his crosses were a little off yesterday. Had out two best efforts at goal (i think) with that volley from near the bye line that the goally palmed away and that amazing run from the corner flag. Wish that had gone in. Still think he looks better as a winger than a left back.

Stop pretending your bothered, you're just like the rest of the fat greedy fuckas wobbling around out there. Have we had a picture of you yet? I'm not fat, never have been and I'm not the one crying about being over weight and wanting to lose weight, whilst stuffing my face with shite every other night. And your the one addicted to our plight. Becoming a bit of an angry man of late. Whats gone wrong?

Fish and Chips

Tecato, the most miserable gloomy fucker ever to grace this forum. Fuck off you miserable negative twat. Wasnt a 0-4 all day but just a shame our forwards are utter dross. The difference today was finishing. They had the players that could do it, we didnt. A bit hard to have a go at teenage Ferguson for possible being out of position in a 352 system. Should have played the ball to him a lot more as he clearly showed what he is capable of doing. Almost Maradonna like that "nearly" goal. Be interesting to see who is fit in two weeks time. Would like to think Ireland will get a run out. Bottom line though is we have no strike force. Like Stevie I would just like the season to be over.

Cometh the hour, cometh the man..... Woohoo
