Is that some sort of Masonic smiley?

You do realise it?s because you?re black don?t you Mick.

That makes perfect sense.

Stockwell skatepark is full of youths in hooded tops on BMXs every weekend. I will call the police and have them all arrested forthwith. Come to think of it that doesn?t sound like a bad idea at all.

It's Frenchist and perhaps xenophobic but it is not racist. Being French is a nationality not a race.

I?ve heard of everyone I have. Except bloody Mighty Mouse or whatever they?re called.

Here?s some more righteous indignation from the indy this morning, ?Although the Frenchman has since admitted handling the ball against Ireland on Wednesday, at the time all he was interested in was running around celebrating the goal with his team-mates. Yet the situation presented him with the perfect opportunity for an act of great sportsmanship - he could have admitted his misdemeanour and entered the ranks of football's great sportsmen. With this in mind, here's our guide to the ten best acts of sportsmanship.? http://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football/news-and-comment/the-ten-best-acts-of-sportsmanship-1823706.html?action=Popup&ino=10

Here?s a question to explore. If we do manage to create intelligent robots, essentially creating an individual life is there any reason why we shouldn?t grant it the same rights as we do ourselves?

Mockney, to clarify a confusing conversation we had last night. Egg ? 70s prog band Not The Egg ? 90s elctro type band

But evolution is not just chance though. Life by its nature wants to develop, change and adapt. The ability to evolve is an evolutionary trait in itself. That?s not to say that it is driven by some external influence it is just what it does by definition. In the same way that my leg wants to kick slow walking people in the arse life wants to find the gaps in the world and fill them using whatever adaptations it can.

There are some good taches going on there.

Kebab and wine was fun too.

If you?re going to do anything about it I would consider making contact with your sister first before you tell you family. She may not want to have anything to do with anyone.

Although Mr Lush I have given it some thought and it is my professional opinion that cigarettes, cocaine, naked ladies, punk rock and whisky should not be mentioned in isolation but should rather be seen as one, multifaceted and perfect accompaniment to beer.

That's another thread entirley Ted and has nothing to do with Danny Boy being a french song about Arsenal.

Don't you remember the Battle of Canary Warf? http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_yPWyFZEdY0s/SISQUdv7mrI/AAAAAAAAEOs/qDsTojM5Tm0/s400/canarywharf.jpg

Nope I think it?s pretty naff as it happens (you will note my distinct lack of contribution prior to a few posts ago). But the thread was started asking about what people thought was the best version of Danny Boy and then went into quite a pleasant if a little sentimental discussion about the different versions of the song and the benefits of drinking your way through the flu. A discussion unpleasantly punctuated by two rude outbursts from you. Let me explain. If you started a thread saying, ?Say chaps I really think this soccer business is just swell. What say we all contribute with our favourite club is? You tell me yours and I?ll tell you mine.? It would be a bit remiss of me to pipe up and say, ?Soccer?s a stupid game for big stupid pooheads.? That sort of discussion may be better suited for my own thread entitled, ?Soccer?s a stupid game for big stupid pooheads. Who?s with me, let?s write to our MP.? Unless of course you?re a prat like me and you ruin someone?s thread by starting a pointless argument with someone that has nothing to do with the topic and doesn't have any other redeeming value whatsoever except to make you look like a buffoon who has just bumbled into the music chamber and put his clodhopper through the cello.

I wasn?t saying your opinion wasn?t valid. I just don?t see why you felt the need to share it. Should people perhaps avoid discussing things that you dislike?

But it's fun. I get to have fights with people about stuff.

And there we have it. The exact sentiment that makes me avoid following football most of the time except the world cup and then I wonder why I bother.

If you don?t like it so much why for the love of christ have you seen to fit to comment twice, only to show your disdain for something that other people obviously enjoy?

Punk rock.

No one is saying that this is an isolated incident that needs special treatment but the fact is he cheated knowingly. That it was such an important game shouldn?t really have anything to do with it. The fact that the entire game has become undignified and unsporting is perhaps another argument.

To be fair Jah cocaine isn?t an amphetamine. But I think we were coming from the same place.
