I've already asked Leazes that man! Ok, I'll just dance and wait for the reply. Tell you what, though. Some guy (I think in the Bible) had to choose which of two women a child belonged, as both claimed the brat. Anyhoo, when the bloke (Moses???) suggested cutting the child in half to satisfy both claimants, and one women wailed not to do it and hand over the child to the other lady, the bloke gave the baby to the wifey who said not to harm the child as it was clearly hers. Now then, what I would like to know is: was the other woman ever charged with attempted kidnapping ?? Solomon you thick heathen twat

You love phrases like that but what do you mean by "not working" exactly? so you think we are living in a multicultural paradise ? Have you ever been to Bradford or Leicester for example ? Didn't you say there are no "blacks" in the north east ? It's not a paradise but I don't see any huge problems - since you refuse to describe how its affected your life I can only go by my experience - I can walk for 5 minutes from where I work in one of the worlds biggest financial and business centres to a pretty authentic Asian area filled with great curry houses - I'd call that not bad at all. I lived in Bradford for two and a half years - a good example of why you're talking shit. Yes there are very Asian dominated areas but that doesn't stop friendly integration on a daily basis. The University is in one of those areas and people mix all the time. Am I supposed to be disgusted by Asian food shops or clothes shops?

It's obviously easier for Muslims to walk away when they live in the UK (and not in the over-isolated enclaves in Lancashire etc) than it is in Muslim countries which is why the idea of Muslims "taking over" Europe is so stupid.

I might sound preachy but maybe a few of you short-sighted posters should consider laser surgery - easily one of the best things I've ever done.

You're assuming a constant birthrate and 100% religion retention with 100% "activism" - the latter of which is already a tiny minority even in second or third generation. If you honestly believe anywhere within a million miles of the majority of Muslims in this country are extremists then you are even more mental than I thought.

what a bollocks of a study, if ever you wanted proof that "academics" can be a complete waste of time....why do you take notice of rubbish like this. The only way religion will "die out" is when Islam enforces itself on the world and puts an end to anybody holding different views.....rendering such polls pointless..... Does anybody SERIOUSLY think Islam will "become extinct" ? What a waste of time. Christianity is dying out in the first world. There is hope of places like Egypt and Turkey becoming less Islamic - you think that over the next 200 years say all of those Muslim babies will automatically follow their parents religion - this study suggests that they will not. Christianity is being replaced by Islam in the first world ? [ I won't use the term "taking over" as I realise it may offend some of the more sensitive elements here]. I don't know how many muslim babies will automatically follow their parents religion, nobody does, but in the current world it would appear the vast majority do precisely that. Where will that change ? When will you learn to count and realise that 2 or 3% of a 60m population (taking the UK) cannot "replace" the 60% who still call themselves Christians or the 30% who just don't believe? As I said I don't expect progress in Pakistan but I do see it in the recent middle east upheaveal. I would also be astonished if the "retention" rate of Muslims who live in Europe is anywhere near that of Muslim countries -western lifestyles will corrupt.

I keep reading "within 50 years" = not sure how concrete that is.

I'm worried that in response to the rise of Islam as LM would put it, people who would have ticked no religion in ours will be tempted to tick Christian again just to make a point. I wish they'd revised the question.

Having missed it as a kid, I had chicken pox when I was 32 and it was absolutely horrible - one "new age" thing I'm completely in favour of is parents having chicken pox parties as I honestly wouldn't wish it on any adult (usual disclaimer for Ashley et al). Luckily I haven't had shingles yet though.

I occasionally suffer eczema on my shins/calves which is made worse as it itches in bed which leads to me scratching it while half-asleep. Hasn't been bad the last couple of years as I've found a cream (Eumovate) which is nice and mild for occasional use and stops the itching. Like you I also get occasional conjunctivitis - as I've said before whoever released chloramphenicol ointment without prescription should be deified.

I went with James Camerons masterpiece. Cock or not, Jamie Lee would get it. I always find Holywood films where they take someone attractive and try and muntify them so they can do a makeover back to the real deal funny as invariably I think I'd probably prefer to do them in "pig" mode. See Sandra Bullock in Miss Congeniality as another example.

I like to think of myself as pretty high-level pervert but those are the work of a brilliantly disturbed sexual mind - whoever it was I salute them.

Viruses are effective diet aids if you can get past the actual feeling like shit and being miserable.

Sounds good but free?

My take on those 3 is that Wolves have got some decent results lately so that worries me. For Villa I fear the 6-0 revenge factor making a difference and Liverpool is a complete non-starter. If the Man U game is scheduled in that period (another obvious loss) then we'd be in deep shit with 4 games left. I know its a negative view but as I keep saying we just can't ignore the fact that we have an abysmal strike force and don't look like scoring. Ever.

Pretty small target size - sounds like olympic class if it was a recognised sport.

Deciding during January that we were okay for strikers regardless of Carroll was the big fuckup in my view.

Had a look at the table earlier and what's worse is that it's only 6 points above bottom as well. I know Wigan are shit but to have no one team completely gone so 3 places available gives more scope for worry imo.

Don't think they were/are footballing Mackems - one was a Spurs fan or something stupid like that and the other not a football fan.

BTW S Shields can claim Menzies out of The Angelic Upstarts (unfortunately a Sunderland fan) and the guitarists out of The Wildhearts and 3 Colours Red (brothers).

This is just knowledge and in no way is a defence of the place before you start: The Toy Dolls, Dave Stewart (Eurythymics) and The Futureheads Nappy Ripper a.k.a smoggies 'Fraid not - born in Mackem land.
