I didn't know about a 12 year old girls death tho. Have you got a link?

You brought up the cat as the reason he wasn't deported. I merely showed you that wasn't the case I used the term prejudice not about that case but about people who lazily claim Britain is a laughing stock around the world

The world doesn't see Britain a a joke. That's a cliche used by some people to bolster their own prejudices And your lazy pointing at a 2 year old case is also flawed http://m.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-15171980

Well, there?s a thing I did not know

"2) If the victim is unconvinced that the call is genuine they are instructed to hang up and call a genuine number ? such as 999 or the telephone number on the rear of their bank card. However, the suspect keeps the telephone line open and so the call goes straight back to the fraudster who then deals with any subsequent call, convincing the victim of their authenticity. " how do they "keep the line open"? If they don't hang up, but you do and when you dial a number it goes back to them? That sounds odd doesn't it?

I wouldn't be against the proposed opening hours - but I am a bit doubtful they will be that beneficial to Coop themselves, and wonder if those opening hours will last. I'm sure it will be beneficial to some people, but enough of them to warrant the costs of staying open that long?

http://www.jpost.com/NationalNews/Article.aspx?id=305264 I see the whole "both sides are as bad as each other" arguments all the time and I'm also aware of the approximate left/right split in this country with regards to sympathies.. But .. but. This can't be right can it?

All true titch (altho I can imagine the flak Arsenal would have gotten if they had sold Walcott as well) Don't think there are any easy answers tho

What "a conniving randy bogus oriental old queen"

We buying that?

Vandross often called it out at his own gigs (i'll not remind ???? that I pointed this fact out to him at my gaff one night after seeing a studio clip of Vandross and Bowie in '74. "today" indeed...) PLENTY more info on that collaboration here http://bowiesongs.wordpress.com/2010/11/10/fascination/

That sound you can hear is the clacking of a dozen keyboards googling " rob molyneux peckham" to find out a bit more

Why has Mcilroy turned into a spoilt wee shite? I read something where he got all pissy about his move to Nike a few weeks back and now I read that he has just walked off the golf course (18th hole, his 9th) without putting. Gone in car with caddie and coach? (via @PaulMahoneyGolf)

have a look on metacritic to get the gist - sitting at 94/100 at the moment http://www.metacritic.com/music/the-next-day/david-bowie As *bob* has pointed out, a lot of this is middle-aged guys going nuts after a 10 year absence But picking up on people who heard it early via tweets and such , expectations were high. Suspiciously so I don't love the last album reality (it's fine enough), but like the one before, Heathen, a lot (6.5/10 and 8/10 respectively) so with all of that taken into consideration - I'm pretty much blow away by this. Doubt Bowie-agnostics will care one way or another but I can't imagine Bowie fans with a predeliction for his 76-80 phase won't be mightily impressed Throw in the last 2 songs (a cross between Rock and Roll Suicide and balld from Young Americans, and a very odd late-period Scott Walker sounding finale) and I can't stop pressing repeat at work

of course - but that doesn't stop a lot of people speculating a lot about a byelection - "it was a good night for x, a bad night for y" on and on so as a standalone event with it's own unique outcome, why bother?

According to Matt Holehouse at the telegraph, if the result (incl swings) was replicated at gen election it would be Lab 355 Con 208 LibDem 41 UKIP 17 Others 29

whole album is up for free streaming on itunes until release date if anyone is interested

A yes from me too

sweet indeed - really enjoyed the 2011 film London confirmation here http://www.denofgeek.com/movies/the-muppets/23313/the-muppets-2-update-filming-locations-and-release-date

But don't most people then scan the school league-tables when published? Our obsession with numbers and league tables isn't just a management-led thing. "Consumers" react to them too

And now Sainsury's are supposed to to something about rats in Dulwich? Surrounded by housing, scrubland and building works - all fertile ground for rats. What did you expect the woman to do, jump up on the counter and shout "hayalp! hayalp!" do you want them to have a solid wall of rat traps, 6 deep, around the perimeter of the sainsbury's property? Post monthly figures on how many caught? of COURSE people will see rats in Sainsbury's car park! I'd be amazed if they didn't have numerous systems in place to protect the food storage areas of course Now what?

Was AVP ever doubted by objective observers? The same core of Chelsea players have played when they feel like it and ejected every manager since mourinhio. Benitez is latest one to give them his mind and feel their wrath Said it before but screw them and the egos they rode in on Ideal for me this season is spurs and arsenal get CL spots at expense of Chelsea. Benitez is a good man but he will be out of that cesspool club regardless.

Because he is one guy doing this for free and might be busy doing other stuff?

"but there is no way he disproves the existence of God. " but noone can ever disprove anything that doesn't exist, surely? If I say that I believe in A Green One Eye Flea that watches over earth and has reserved a place in an afterlife Just For Me - nobody can disprove it. But one would hope lots of people might wish to dissuade me from believing such nonsense Disproving the existence of God isn't the goal. Explaining the delusion is
