Kevin Carr's Gloves

Well my guess is that we will sell Guti after the World Cup. Possibly even Enrique and Colo if the money is right. Then replace them with loanees, freebees or acadamees. Next season is just going to be the absolute best ever.

I fancy it but it's quite expensive to get to I think despite its proximity. Plus it'll be one of those dodgy SAS airline fokkers no doubt. Didn't Slartibartfast design the Fjords as well? It is also ridiculously expensive while over there as well. My uncle has family in Norway and when his family go he pavcks everyobodies suitcases with food and drink. My cousin said she was complaining the whole holiday because her clothes smelled of lamb.

Indeed... Didn't dare serve a writ on Murdoch last week though, did he? Isn't it true that he refused to take part in a BBC Scotland debate at the weekend? What a cock! No its not.

The current system allows a party to govern without checks by gaining the support of 31% of the country. That just is not right. The only other government in Europe which operates a system as unrepresentative as ours is France. It doesn't matter what kind of system you have as long as decently clever people with the right motives come to the top. Unfortunately I have to hope that would start to happen when total power was no longer on offer to twats.

Its shit.

I am 41 and heading for a stag do at Aviemore the end of this month. While the rest of the lads who are a bit younger than me are talking of monumental drinking sessions followed by lung bursting mountain biking I have told them I am just looking forward to a nice lie in wher my daughter does not get me up at 6 to watch Mickey Muse Clubhouse and Handy Manny. lol.

A white horse walks into a bar and the barman says "here we have a whisky named after you. The horse replies "you have a whisky named Jester"? How do you annoy Lady Gaga? Poke her face.

Freedom without boundaries is just a word. I am sure I read that somewhere.

Got the wife stuff from the little un and going to in laws for lunch. Got my Mum pyjamas but as she has vascular dementia she wont even know what they are.

Utter dribbling nonsense. The middle east was divided by religion. In 1921 as Secretary of State for the COlonies Churchill carved up the Middle East and chose members of Aristocratic Families to become the kings of the countries which made up Britains land Bridge to India. These included Iran, Iraq and Egypt. Part of the problems which led to the fall of the Shah and the ascension of the Islamic Republic was the simmering resentment of a ruler who did not belong. The same for the revolutions in Iraq and Egypt. Churchills actions have had serious repercussions since. No you've lost me. Britain (not Churchill, who was only a minister at the time) had been fucking about in the middle east since well before that. I also dont in any way see the connection between the installation of a leader who many nationalists consider the father of modern Iran and the issues in the middle east i.e. Jerusalem, Palestine, Islam, Judaism, Christianity, the crusades, the holy sites etc I'm very aware of Britain's role in the middle east but to blame 'many of the problems' in the region on Churchill is as i said. It was Churchills decision as Secretary of state for the Colonies to impose these people as rulers. What part of that do you not understand? The people of these countries were extremely unhappy as these rulers ran the countries for the benefit of themselves and Britain (later America who continued to prop up these unwanted governments) and so got pissed off and created revolutions which in Iran led to the Ayotollahs and in Iraq eventually led to the rule of Saddam Hussein. What part of that do you not understand? The bit where you blame the problems of the middle east on Churchill. See above.

Woohoo I did the shit comprehensive / university degree route. So did I. I've noticed in recent years my old school has slid into even more shitness to the point where they're going to close it shortly. (It's already been merged once and about to be merged again with the new school having brand new premises somewhere between the two). Getting an A-Level at all is considered an achievement there now. Considering Blair's 'Education, education, education' campaign, this is an example of where it didn't go to plan. Neither did his plan to end child poverty, increase equality or be tough on crime tough on the causes of crime. I don't think he promised to not plunge us into an 'illegal' war based on lies so that ok.

Was that when he proposed gassing the Kurds as they were less than human or other such choice phrase? Edit: In the end they didn't use the gas for "technical reasons". Yes it was.

Apparently also caused many of the problems in the Middle East which are still haunting us today.

?? not sure what your getting at. quite frankly the end of the empire was pretty much settled after the 1st world war as we could no longer afford imperialism. and tbh, i'd rather be at the beck and call of the yanks than soviet russia. not saying i'm happy with that fact that we are. dont think ive ever said that are you saying we shouldnt have fought WW2 and let germany have a free reign over western europe? that would have been a properly scary situation. with no resistance from the western allies germany would have probably overthrown the soviets and that would have been quite frankly terrifying as they could of then disposed of britain at their whim. biggest mistake germany ever made was not disposing of us (the UK) in 1940 (either by invasion or treaty) as in reality we turned into a huge drop off point for america after that and the 2 front war was more than german infrastructure could take due to the bombing campaign of the western allies. the same western allies that would of been out of the war or at least been severly curtailed by the fact that 'airstrip 1' wasnt off the coast of their controlled teritory. Germany made so many mistakes due to being run by a sociopath it is hard to really identify the biggest but I would call the invasion of Russia the biggest as it was the war in the east which destoyed the werhmacht more so thann the allies did. The Allied bombing offensive was surprisingly ineffective and German war production was hardly dented until late in 1944 beginning of 1945 and that was mainly due to territorial losses. not quite true - there was a book out a year or so back on the economics of the war in Jormany and the air offensive diverted troops, aircraft, guns etc from the front line from 1942 onwards. It was like a bad tooth - not bad enough to kill you but bloody annoying and sapping your energy Hitler got it wrong not just by invading Russia but by treating the natives as unter-menschen. If he'd promised the Ukranians and the Azeri's soem sort of freedom it would have been a stroll in the park There are loads of books and journal articles on the economics of the war in Germany. There are many historians who agree with your version of how much of a headache the air offensive caused but that is different from the original post I said did not tell the whole story as far as I interpreted from what I have read. I like Adam Tooze's book on the economics of invading Russia. he claims that due to the vast resources that the Russians controlled the Germans were doomed from the beginning of Barbarossa. However there were still many mistakes made by the Germans most notably Hitler sacking Mannstein and Guderian abd the general staff and placing himself at the heads of the army. Mannstein said at the time that Hitler saw himself as a Napoleon but without his military training or skill as a general.

which half? The fat wank part. However, he was half English and basically saved the world. Any yanks reading this who have "yayaaa we saved your butts" attitude, pipe down. If we hadn't have fought him alone (for a long time) as well and stood up to them, everyone would be speaking kraut now, we'd all look like Jurgen Klinsmann and Isegrim and would be having shits in funny toilets. The greatest man in the history of this country, he is one of a few men who genuinely could claim that title. Fuck his trade union tiffs, minor in the grand scheme of things, and only a power to the people socialist divvy like Kevin Carr's Gloves would think of that before anything. Where's me tenner by the way Gloves? "WE WILL NEVER SURRENDER", and we wouldn't we'd fight to the death like the Russians did, and because of our inherent never say die attitude we would have prevailed, and we will prevail but we needed Churchill then. Imagine if it had've been John Major or Brown in the circumstances. "Invade Poland Adolf we have 6 Vickers sites in the UK if you need new tanks." No tenner you got banned before I could destroy your pathetic argument. Trade union tiffs which cost the lives of miners.

appeasement gave this country time to re-arm, especially the airforce. theres no way we could have stood against germany if they'd decided to invade us in 1938 or 1939. overall imo, appeasement was good politics at that time. Or... Chamberlain ignored offers from several high members of the Wehrmacht to stage a coup if he helped oppose the German claims on the Sudetenland. In dfoing so he condemned the world to war as it gave Hitler time to continue his armaments policy.

Was a complete cunt who caused the general strike then wanted to punish the miners.

As appeasers and loony lefties go, I suppose he was Appeaser?

To be writing a dissertation. Sorry just moaning cos I am coming to the end of my freeloading sorry hardworking student days. I will never cope with a proper job after this. If I get one like. Oh and I have come to the conclusion only Geordies pronounce Santa correctly.

Not a fan of Robbie Williams at all but I'm not able to get my head round why you have such issue with this. He doesn't play an instrument nor, I'm led to believe, is he a particularly great song-writer But what he lacks there he does make up for in terms of being a lyricist and his performances. Almost every single track in that medley he performed last night were instantly recognisable. Given that and that he's been at the fore-front of pop music for 18-20 years and it's not surprising that they've given him the award. His music might not be your cup of tea - it's definitely not mine but you can't deny what he's achieved. To put it in context, this is some of the previous recipients of the award: 2009 - Pet Shop Boys 2005 - Bob Geldof 2004 - Duran Duran 2002 - Sting 2000 - Spice Girls 1999 - Eurythmics 1986 - Wham Are any of that lot more deserving than Robbie Williams? Band Aid / Live Aid aside, I fail to see what Geldof's 'outstanding contribution to music' is. At least those lot have contributed to music across the globe, in particular the U.S. I wonder how many folk in the states know who Williams is. For my money, a lifetime award (whatever it's called) should be to musicians/singers who haven't received much acknowledgement for their contribution to world music over a long period of time. The Brits, yes, but a recognition for what British musicians have given the world. Williams is what, 30-ish? There must be musicians of 50 to 60 who have done far more for world music than him. And he's a knobheed. The spice fucks have contributed fucking nothing to anything they should all be fucking shot for being fuckless arseholes. Other than that you are pretty spot on. Am I allowed to swear or will I get into terouble from our sponsors?

Tenner says you cant back this up with evidence.
