NJS

As I read this morning that he'd signed I couldn't help thinking his sale was the first major sign for me that Bobby was losing it. His reasons were shite and the crap about "We have players who can play there" seemed out of step with his previously excellent crack. The post-match bullshit seemed to appear more and more after that.

Made his debut at 17 at the SOS - and played a blinder. Still think he'll turn out good but maybe not as good as we hoped.

If it was Shearer and he went to Madrid and didn't come back here when expected to? I see what you mean but I thought we were just talking about this deal and the scouser was saying we'd have turned nasty if he'd went there.

I don't get "if it had been the other way around" comments. If he'd signed for Liverpool I'd personally have shrugged my shoulders and said something like "not exactly a surprise" (while muttering somthing about scouse bastards under my breath).

There may be some truth in some of the background but the twist put on it is the juice of a billion lemons. Fucking love it.

I have sympathy for people whose lives are just about ruined but I can't help feeling they should step back and take a hint at the same time - New Orleans is mostly BELOW sea level and surrounded by barriers which proved inadequate - I'm not saying they should dismantle the city and rebuild but surely future planning has to take these things into account especially if they are becoming more frequent. Its like seeing places like York flooded year after year - take the bloody hint. I saw a programme on Monday about Holland's sea defences - they've built barriers on the basis of "50 year" storms - thats the kind of think thats needed everywhere now.

I saw the last couple of minutes of The Chemical Brothers at Reading about 5 years ago - they finished and 10 seconds later they switched on the "filler" music which happened to be Fat Boy Slim - I couldn't tell what was the difference in performance terms from one to the other - the former as far as I could tell could have just walked on, pressed "Play" and stood there for 40 minutes. Yes I know I'm ignorant but to me its soulless drivel.

If we'd kept Bellamy somehow and then still gone for Owen (quite possible with Shepherd) how far would he have thrown the toys out of his pram (again)?

I thought Jim Kerr was supposed to have the biggest.... oh I see - I agree.

Dance, Jazz, Hip Hop/Rap, whats called R&B which is actually just black pop. The music I find most painful is "Castles in the air" Ibiza shite - I do honestly find it painful. Also Elton John and Phil Collins. Pink Floyd - I just find to be too mastubatory, too LSD, too hippy. I don't get the "35 million people" argument either - I think thats one of those albums that wankers who call themselves "music fans" have to have - I doubt anywhere near that have actually listened to it that many times.

Apart from a couple of good games against Arsenal, Robert never performed against good teams - including in Europe. Luque's crime? - signed by Souness.

Graham Oates. Pat Heard. John Trewick. John Cornwell. Rob MacDonald. Frank Pingel. Fumaca. 10 seconds thought. Faye is a poor player and I'd shed no tears if he left but a. He did okay last season and b. He's a million miles from the worst.

My two standard answers have already been given - stop selling or I go elsewhere and I'll buy another one.

As Rob suggested there's no way the armed forces would be happy to become some kind of probation/community service. They have been trimmed in recent years (probably correctly) to a lean, professional outfit - why divert them from that just because scum parents don't teach morals and schools are too weak?

Previous generations who did have national service were all morally better than us. There were no murders, no rapes and so much respect for the establishment that crime was almost unknown. This was of course also the generations that generally ignored child abuse, sent rape victims and single mothers to asylums and then lectured subsequent generation on loose morals. BTW The Krays were rotten evil bastards, anyone who defends them is an apologist for murder.

Julie Newmar - the original Catwoman - was the first female to perk my interest. Never really fantasised (ie wanked) over anyone famous though - always preferred "real" women I know (of course "know" can be a pretty loose term).

Is it on battery or plugged in? - maybe your battery is completely screwed.

The film could just be the layer of thermal compound that a CPU should have between it and the heat sink. I had a similar problem with my laptop which I eventually found was due to the partition on the HD not being activated. Can you actually get into the bios and if so is the HD recognised? If its not then it may be the same problem I had. I fixed mine by booting with a CD with FDISK on it and re-activating the HD.
