Footsie thread is on its third incarnation, it tends to stop working after about 10000 posts, or something

Cor, proper turbo charged innit. Time for more 'donate' if this is a shiny new server.

I dunno, given Roy's proclivities I think he could fit neatly into the side better than he has done at Liverpool. He's yet young and unproven but I think with interntaional experience he could be really good and he's the sort of striker that actually can give pause for thought to a defence.

England doesn't exactly have strength in depth does it. That's not an attacking line up to make the world quake with fear either is it.

Nowhere is immune sadly star-bob. NN. This thread asserts that contrails are actually chem trails. The far more likely answer is that they are in fact condensation formed from jets travelling at high altitude. Someone then posted an article suggesting that terrorists are dumping chemicals high in the sky above Brimingham. This one too is unsubstantiated speculation. You then linked to a wikipedia article about cloud seeding. Either this is just a completely non-sequitur link because you happened to feel like talking about cloud seeding or you are implying that the terrorist attack was actually a terrorist group trying to make it rain over Birmingham. Yes cloud seeding exists. It has by and large been proven unreliable at any form of weather control, that's not to say noone has ever tried, usually in places suffering sever drought. Why anyone would cloud seed above Birmingham is anyone's guess. Why terrorists would do so is even more mistifying given the difficulties, enormous costs and limited socio-political effects of some unexpected rain over a large metropolitan area. Hair bleach is cheaper and things going bang tend to get noticed a bit more when trying to bring society to its knees or force governments into your desired action. So we're still left with a need for you to answer: What is your point regards the cloud seeding?

Mladic on trial at last. Part of me wishes he was just handed to a mob, but let it be the another step on a road to a more enlightened and peaceful world. BBC comments make me laugh, this from Parallels between you and a struggle with the real world more like ;)

Hoopers can have three different occasions on its three screens. Worth an ask, you'll definitely get it in the snug I'd say.

"unproven with a big club" Are you suggesting they're a big club? I thought they needed to get used to the fact that they were now a middling club with delusions of grandeur thanks to their long faded glory ;-)

Pep might get some more pep and be up for it?

Plus a rather lovely (if long and in dire need of some formatting) post about those Heathrow queues and how the old immigration hot potato is really handled by our rulers. http://tktw.wordpress.com/2012/05/07/heathrow-queues/

The Brooks charged then huh? I'd love to think that this was indeed "unprecedented postureing" by the CPS, taking revenge after years of being accused of letting nonces clutter our streets. I suspect they're just doing their job though. Shoe other foot etc. Consider my cockles warmed by this good news.

a comic buff no less! http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/5195RF6X8FL._SL500_AA300_.jpg marvellous!

Bugger, first Dulwich, then Stevenage. Only the Hammers left to leave me further crushed and devalued.

Not really. It can be paraphrased ironically for creative or amusing effect I guess, but otherwise it's either wrong or, if done affectedly, pathetically tragic.

Well yes, like I said if you can play with language, make it richer and more beautiful then that's fine. He was good at that. Busineeze isn't really on the same level. Nor is 'would of'. It's just nonsense. There's no excuse for bad language because other people do or because Shakespeare played fast and loose with the rules. The former is lowest common denominator, the latter is genius at work.

Costings as a noun for instance. If you want to find out the cost(n) of something you cost(v) it. Fine. I guess then the present continuous is that you are costing it. Why are the resultant bits of information costings(n)? It's still a cost(n) or costs, but the use of costings is now firmly established by the aforementioned linguistic vandals. It however contributes nothing to the language except three superfluous letters that help bulk out their reports or make them sound more businessy in their wanky teleconferences. At a pinch it could be used to differnetiate between concrete costs and the potential costs quoted by a supplier, but I like to think the old fashioned 'quotes' is better by dint of the fact it already exists and is widely known and better describes what is going on. Nnngggghghhh!!!!

I've been about a bit and it's absolutely endemic everywhere UDT believe you me, not just government. I don't have an issue with creative, colourful and imaginitive play with the language. I hate two things, stupid words used to mask the fact that the person (ok consultant) doesnt know what they are talking about and neologisms that are direct synonyms for existing words, but a bit longer; also used by idiots (ok consultants) who use that to mask the fact they're not actually doing anything to benefit anyone or anything. Grrr etc

Aaargh. You - are - utterly - insufferable ;-) The website is replete with ironificationism, it is not proof that the word exists. Remember, ignorance is no defence in the eyes of the law!!

No, he's just awful. I know he provides entertainment of the daft sort, but he represents all the awfulness of modern football, or at least any bits that Terry didn't have covered. Interestingly the telegraph covered the twitter row verbatim apart forom the one quote about revelaing squeaky clean linekar for what he is. How did gary get such a pliant press. Either he has some really juicy info on all the proprieters or he did a deal with the devil (or satan is a shareholder in Walkers crisps).

and you wonder why I think you're a bot? I'll rewrite my last post in small words shall I? You make me laugh, but really, why do you keep coming back here when everyone thinks you're theories are daft and worthless? It's a genuine question, one I'd be interested to read a real response to an actual question asked of you for once. You don't invest much of yourself in this board do you, you just like to swan in with a vague air of superiority and the debating skills of a twelve year old, and deposit strange morsels of internetwattery. Come on, what team do you support, music, a bit of Wagner as you ponder the impending apocalypse? What made you distrust authority so, did your nanny read you HP Lovecraft instead of AA Milne, did a journo break the news to you about Santa or something?

I'm pretty sure that was one of the Roger Moore era Bond villains wasn't it?

tbh I've lived in the area for 11 years and wasn't even aware there was a carpark there. 17 spaces won't really be missed, I bet they're mostly taken by staff and the LL equivalent of a german with a pool side towel anyway!! I was delighted to discover the car park behind Asda on the other lane though. Marvellous. If anyone is really driving to Iceland then perhaps they can go there instead.
