Sigor Ros - ( )

Hotel Rwanda - Cracking film this, I vaguely remember the stuff that was going on there during that time, but this film showed how bad it was. Office Space - Funny as hell. Great film Bubba Hotep - The main characters are elvis and a black JFK in a nursing home and they are trying to kill a mummy. Weird, surreal and amusing Shoalin Soccer - comedy gold, one of the best "football" films out there. full metal yakuza - Another sick yakuza movie from Takahashi Miike. This guy is the king of odd films.

They have a lot of dried fish, which smells horrid but actually tastes alright. The hotdogs there are really nice aswell. THe other advice is buy duty free on the way in to drink in iceland as thats a hell of alot cheaper then buying your beer there.

He also made this little slip "Stuart Pearce has been linked with the liverpool job, but i do not think the FA will appoint an english man" its in the predictions biton the beed in the Citeh v charlton bit. Quite what this has to do with anything other then showing what a cock lawro is i dont know.

JR??? 88471[/snapback] John Robertson. Believed to be the man behind the tactics whilst O'Neill was the motivator. 88492[/snapback] Ah...gotcha. And that's the John Robertson who played with him at Forest rather than the bloke who we bought from (and quickly sold back to) Hearts...? I still maintain we should try Citeh's resolve for Stuart Pearce... 88500[/snapback] I think it is a bit early to judge Pearce. What has he really achieved so far to make him such an attractive option? He is doing arguably well with a mediocre City side and will probably get a decent midtable position... 88502[/snapback] I agree on that front. It looks like hes got potential to be a good manager, but the fact hes been in the job now for under a year and he is already being touted for both the england job and ours is shocking. That'd be like touting Glenn Roeder on a permanant basis after he took west ham to 7th. Don't see any calls for that now though.

I think we'll lose a hell of a lot on Owen. How much depends on his performance in the world cup, but we paid over the odds at a time when transfers are falling. 88288[/snapback] The rumour going round liverpool is that he has a £12mil buy out clause if we fail to qualify for europe this season, apparently Jan Molby said it on scouser radio during their game on wednesday. Other then the likes of boumsong and owen. I can't see us loosing too much on any of our signings tbh

Game over. Oh dear. Does anyone actually thing we can turn this round with our amazing team spirit?

First time for me was when i was 5, 747 from manchester to barbados. Was kinda too young to scared by flying as i didn't really know what could go wrong (ironically we drove past lockerbie which still had bits of knacked plane lying around on the way to the airport, I didn't quite manage to put 2+2 togethor on that one). Not bothered by it now, worse thing thats happened to me on the plane is the aborted takeoffs. Not what you want just before a flight on a plane with the following sign "Use Bottom Seat Cushion for Flotation".

Combi? How much you paying like? (I am an expert on such matters). 84677[/snapback] That would be between 1000-1500 pounds, wouldn't it? 84707[/snapback] Last years prices my friend. The going rate these days is between £1250 and £1750 84722[/snapback] I don't know the cost. The landlords paying for it. All i know is that its a Worcester Jr combi boiler that was bought in stockport on tuesday by the plumber who is called Joe. You can track that down if you want but i can't really be bothered.

Not snow. We have no heat or water in the house atm. They were fitting a new boiler yesterday and broke a water pipe.

Evolution is science and should be taught there. ID/Creationism is religion and should be taught there. Simple isn't it? There is no evidence for ID/creationism other then this complexity thing but lets be honest here 6 or so billion years. Seems fairly plausable to me that some very complex thing could evolve over that time period....

I disagree there. It's souness lack of width that has caused an excess width elsewhere. Prime examples of this being peasepuds net browser and Geordie Fish.

History repeating itself here folks. English local legend (keegan) -> dour scot (dogleash) -> useless dutch man -> english local legend (robson) -> dour scot (souness) -> Hiddink -> Shearer? predicting the future from the past!

I think this can be summed up by a simple sentence: "We PAID them money for souness." Thats like paying someone to come into your house and destroy the furnature. Then let them drive off in your car at the end (severece fee).

Theres a thing on a liverpool site saying we had a bid in for Vignal, but the boards pulled it. link: http://www.koptalk.com/detail_subtitle_lis...php?link_id=327 Another indication the freddy the hut is planning to axe Souness...

Come on, be fair now. He did take out the bar of white chocolate and throw it back at Cath before getting into some rant about how its not real chocolate.

Problem with nuclear is that the public don't trust it in terms of safety. If the government were to recomission further nuclear build, it is highly likely that they would build on the existing sites, where acceptance is likely to be less of a problem. Even then nuclear only ever provided 20% of our electricity. Wind/hydro/biomass/nuclear/clean coal and wave/tidal need to all be employed. But first things first we all need to stop using as much power as we are. There was a report about 6 months suggesting that if we all turned off our stand by lights on the tv they could shut down a coal fired power station. 82371[/snapback] Clean Coal is a myth. It just moves the point of the pollution elsewhere (where they take coal and make it clean). The one that is interesting is Bio fuels though, they are CO2 neutral and involve making petrol and diesel from plants. Problem si we don't have enough land to grow enough crops to make the fuel. I believe brazil has got this on a small scale though.

They could also be causing the spike in emissions that pokes a hole in your theory? 82363[/snapback] WEll the engines are becoming more efficient as are car engines, and power plants. The latter 2 pump out far far more in total then planes due to sheer numbers. The planes will have an effect but in terms of scales it doesnt even come close to those two. 1000 flights a day and each is 1000 x worse then a car (neither stat is true but illistrates the point). THat only requires 1,000,000 cars to do the same (assuming same journey time). And theres alot more then that about in this country...

The amount of CO2 emitted is far more then the others. The 2 key gasses in geenhouse effects in order are CO2 then CH4. The CH4 is easier to eliminate as by burning it to CO2 you make it 23x less damaging. THe big thing about global warming is we cant prove it exists until its too late basically. So we may be wasting aload of time and effort in trying to prevent a non existant thing but if we don't we could all be in a far worse situation. I'll have a look for the data, but so far i can only find stuff from about 5 years ago. Google about China and ISO14001. The germans are shit hot on these environmental systems aswell (EMAS and ISO14001)

The increase in air travel isn't good in terms of CO2 being emitted as they pump out a hell of alot per person travelling, far worse then a car, but it aint gonna stop. The current technologys that can produce the kind of power we need are: Wind (but on non windy days we're up a certain creek with no propulsion device) hence the look by alot companys and universitys into storing it as hydrogen attached to some cyclo-hexane type molecules. Other problem being no one wants one near them. The UK has 60% of europes wind resource denmark is mostly powered by wind now. The other area of research is looking into placing them on disused north sea oil platforms where there is always high winds and attaching an electric cable to the current oil lines to get it back to the UK. and Nuclear, works fine by has bad press and a waste problem. I'd take nuclear on the short - medium term with wind on the long term as my solution.

You seem to have missed the point in your studies - we are talking about an accumulation of gases over time, a graph that keeps going upwards. The 1960s are towards the bottom of that line, their output of gas is not really relevant. Besides, with the emergence of China and India as industrial soceities, and the continued high consumption fossil fuels by the Americans, emissions are at an all time high. You describe it as a blip, well blips happen but that doesn't alter the trend. As it happens, almost every meteorlogical record known has been broken in recent years. Also, I don't accept it has anything to do with the sun unless you can provide solid evidence of this. 82322[/snapback] The time line of temperatures on my studies starts at thousands of years ago with predictions taken for ice cap drillings. The 60s are an anomoly with no explaination. We only have good accurate recordings for the past century and better still the past 50 years. These do fall within the error readings placed on the predictions from thousands of years ago. That is why there is no proof, if you look at the long time scale we are at the moment in a "blip" an anti ice age if you will. The gases (the most damaging ones C1-C4 hydrocarbons (methane is 24x worse per tonne then CO2, with the others worse again still) do slowly degrade over time. You seem to have missed the point. THe fossil fuels being burned now are no where near as bad as those from the 60's and 70's. While we may be burning more they are pumping less damaging shite into the atmosphere then those of 30-40 years ago. A factory from that era would not be allowed to operate pretty much anywhere in the world now. China certainly and India to lesser extent have green technologies and are infact better in that then the majority of British ones as they have already met the likes of the ISO14001 standards for environmental management as they believe (probably rightly) that if they didn't they would face a mass ban on importing thier goods from western countries due to a large environmental load. As for all records being broken, that works both ways. Hot and COLD. The weather is becoming more extreme our systems more robust and accurate statistically speaking you expect a really hot/cold time every 100 years or so... Rob, As for BP supporting it, its what the public wants to hear so it makes both good PR and marketing sense. I do agree that it exists, i never once said i didnt think it was. All i said was the doomsday scenarios being predicted are little more then scaremongering by the press, which lets be honest is what they do best.

I study this in detail on my course and there is no concrete proof that it exists. However i think it is more likely then not that it does and we should err on the side of caution. Which is the way the environmental legislation is heading with the implementation of first the IPC and now the IPPC acts. As for the recent trends how does one explain the 1960's blip where the average T dropped for about 7 years in a row despite industry being at an all time high then, and houses being fuelled with coal boilers which were far far worse then the current gas system. The increase in temperature could easily be due to the increase in the suns activity over the past 200 years as solar flares and hot spots are becoming more frequent. There is alot of doomsday scenarios going on but most of them are using the most dubious statistics to make there assumptions. The more realistic standards are predicting a far more modest rise then the ones being published by the national press.

my last exam is hopefully june 2006. On that premise i had my 7th last one today on the exhilarating world of "water & waste water engineering". The fun just increases tomorrow as i have to write about "waste management & minimisation".

But the finances aren't going to be any better in the summer, are they? Next years financial results are also going to disastrous, not that that will stop Shepherd and Hall dipping their grubby fingers into the pot. 77954[/snapback] It wont be so much dipping into the pot as taking the actual pot itself. I may not fully understand the business world but surely taking a large dividend when a company makes massive losses is bad practise?

Ive got 5 in the next two weeks. Then 2 in the summer then im free from them. I cannot wait for that day.
