  1. That would work out at £1 per minute before the bannings kick in.
  2. Probably some covert homosexual type ritual.
  3. Looks like the opportunities were there. But no end result again.
  4. Good point.
  5. This one between Gilles Villeneuve and Rene Arnoux at the French GP in 1979 was a good 'un. Any more? http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=j3tXJm9tYGM&feature=related
  6. Saints 8 shots on target - Plymouth 0 shots on target. That sounds ok. Just need to convert a couple.
  7. Was reading Le Saux's biography recently. He reckons Sturrock is a crap manager who can't motivate...
  8. I'm feeling optimistic!
  9. Best post I've ever seen SB write!
  10. So crude is now less than $60 a barrel. Yet petrol remains stubbornly expensive on the forecourt. Best I can find is 92.9p.
  11. This occasionally happens to me, it is disconcerting. About two months ago a mate stayed over on the settee and for some drunken reason decided to **** in the kitchen bin instead of the bathroom. Was not pleased with him.
  12. Nick did play left back for a while after Dennis. But Dennis for me. Thoroughly uncompromising in defence and a great attacker. Would have had plenty of caps had it not been for his reputation and the amount of red cards he collected before Lawrie sorted him out.
  13. Do you work at the Football League MB?
  14. TopGun

    Robsk was using TMS spin with his title!
  15. Early models were noisy and pretty crap, generating not more more than 100KW. They were noisy because they had less evolved mechanical parts. A lot of objectors refer to noise out of ignorance because they see youtube vids etc of old turbines. Not one planning application in the last five years in the UK has been rejected on noise grounds despite many objectors citing noise. You can stand under one these days and have a conversation without raising your voice, it's just the wind swoop of the blades these days. When they are flat out you still can't hear the turbines at much distance because of the normal noise of a windy day which quickly dissipates and spreads the sound of the wind in the blades. A motorway for example is much, much louder at the same distance.
  16. I'm working on a wind farm project in Scotland so know the figures.
  17. A Vestas 2MW turbine that is 90m tall and has 35m blades (total 125m) costs about £1.5m to purchase and install. That excludes all the planning issues. Maintenance is very little over the expected 25 year life of the turbine. A 2MW turbine has the capacity to generate enough for 4,000 home but realistically at 25% operational capacity because of wind intermittence will supply equivalent average consistent energy to 1,000 homes which need to remain on the grid because of calm days. At the moment turbine operators have to sell power via the grid to suppliers. A next logical step is to miss out middle men and supply via a localised grid to local houses which could be supplied at a cheaper rate. And the cities are the places to do this IMO.
  18. Virgin are also to cut 2,000+ jobs which means that their customer support can only get worse. :-(
  19. That is what they do in Denmark but I'm sure many would still object.
  20. I think 25 crew is the answer to that. I guess they reckon they can hold the ship to ransom with its owners as it is carrying an oil load of 2m barrels.
  21. http://www.dailyecho.co.uk/news/1901958.giant_wind_turbine_would_be_sign_of_green_city/ Looks like the plan is back on again according to today's Echo. I know the Tory Council appeared to blow it out two weeks ago but looks like they may have changed their minds. When it says one secret location is at the northern boundary of Southampton it's hard to think further than the top of the Avenue/start of M3. Be a great place to have one. I fully expect all the naysayers to get to work on this thread! :cool:
  22. http://www.icc-ccs.org/index.php?option=com_fabrik&view=visualization&controller=visualization.googlemap&Itemid=89&phpMyAdmin=F5XY3CeBeymbElbQ8jr4qlxK1J3 There's money in this piracy lark. Who wants to be a shipmate, me hearties?
  23. Sweaty Betty by the Macc Lads, circa 1983.
  24. She wore big knickers and she worked at the sewage farm. Got my hands down her jeans and I nearly lost half my arm. But after ten pints, she looked quite fit, Couldn't wait to get my hands on her flabby tits. Slap that and ride the ripples, just got to get my gob round her greasy nipples. Flabby arse, sweaty breasts, thirty eight chins, she was a mound of flesh. Sweaty Betty, she eats a lot of pies, Sweaty Betty, she's got enormous thighs, Sweaty Betty, have you smelled her breath? Sweaty Betty, she'd crush a man to death. I knew that she wanted me to **** her, so I stabbed her **** with my mutton dagger. I couldn't believe the size of her bum, She used to play for Wigan at the back of the scrum. I've seen nowt like it since the day I was born, But you know me, I'll **** owt that's warm. Sweaty Betty, she eats a lot of chips, Sweaty Betty, she's got massive tits, Sweaty Betty, she's got a huge vagina, Sweaty Betty, you'd fit a bus inside her, She's so obscene, three tons of margarine, She's like a lump of lard But Sweaty Betty makes my willy hard.
  25. Lol... and Terry Gennoe.
