I'd rather stick hot needles in my eyes and have a bath in my own urine than do business with you Stu. Thanks anyway.

****s of the highest order IMO. Preying on the obsessions of fans to make some quick money for nothing. W***ers the lot of them. Artists and venues should do much more to clamp down on it and websites like seatwave etc... should be outlawed. It should be made illegal for anybody to sell event tickets at higher than face value.

I heard last year though that Honda's KERS system they were developing for this year was looking like it was the best of all the teams.

Agree wih that. I had the misfortune to watch some of Al Murray's new sketch show on ITV last night, and while I think he is really funny when he does standup shows as The Pub Landlord (that doesn't include his happy hour or that dreadful sitcom he did on Sky a few years back), I found this program painfully unfunny.

Not great livery but I always thought the lines on this car were beautiful. Edit: I didn't notice this picture was taken after they added the stupid little added wings which ruined the aesthetics somewhat.

Tells you all you need to know about Russell Brand really. they are both complete ****s IMO

This may or may not be true, but we need to change our practises with regard to energy consumption anyway. There is only a finite amount of coal/oil/gas available on this planet, and surely nobody is blind enought to believe that by burning all of it we are not adversely affecting the natural balance of the climate in any way. Eventually these energy resources are going to run out, so do we carry on polluting the atmosphere and maybe affecting the climate of the planet until it runs out, or do we do something about it and look at clean, renewable energy sources NOW?

The Crystal Maze?

Interesting article in the Independent today... Link here

Yes, I had to cancel the trek as I was out of work for too long and was not able to put enough of my own money towards it. I took on board some comments from many people, including posters on this thread, and eventually decided I was more than willing to put in the £1400, which was the actual cost of the trip, on my credit card; but being out of work for 5 months meant that to put myself in that much debt without the means to pay it back would have been utter stupidity so I cut my losses (the £200 deposit was non-refundable) and cancelled. I contacted everybody who had donated and explained how they could get a refund. Some people already have received refunds from the charity, the rest were happy to have donated due to my friend and me completing a 60-mile bike ride along the Trans-pennine trail last november as part of my fundraising efforts, and have declined the offered refund.

Not according to Spiiting Image they're not.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oSLMKUXZ3hk

This is my thinking exactly. In most, if not all, other situations, anybody who presided over such an utter disaster that every single customer of that company could see and predict happening, that person would be summarily dismissed for gross mis-management - shareholder or not.

But it never used to be 'the way it should be' so why should it be now? Well you are at least correct in that assumption as neither of my parents have ever had the slightest interest in football. Wrong I'm afraid. I was there in december 03 when we knocked them out of the carling cup, and again when Doddy scored from a corner and Marian scored 'that' goal. You're right, it was a sweet moment to beat our local rivals, but I don't need to hate them with a passion in order to feel that way. And one thing I have never understood... If we are supposed to hate pompey because they are our local rivals, why do so many Saints fans go and watch Eastliegh when they are at home? Why don't we have a bitter rivalry with them too?

In defense of Indie 4, it would have scored sooooo much higher on my ratings were it not for two little bits... 1) the bit when Indie jnr swung through the trees like tarzan! (WTF!?!?!?) and 2) The gophers... The ****ing gophers! :mad: I would just like to ask Mr Spielberg - WHAT THE BLOODY HELL WERE YOU THINKING!?!?!?

Ken Bates has never really been very popular amongst fans of other clubs (or his own come to think of it!) But you're right about Rupert being the most hated ever. I got chatting to a group of lads on a stag do a while back who turned out to be Huddersfield fans, and even they thought Lowe was a complete c*nt!

Yeah I raised an eyebrow when I read that bit too. What I would like to know is... Where are the historical records for the rate of glacial melt from 3,000 BC? Surely records have only been kept for, at most, only about 300-400 years - if that. How does anybody know that this current melt is at a rate unseen for 5,000 years? Answer: they don't.

But why does it have to be though? I started following the Saints in the lat 80s and by this time the hatred between the two clubs was probably at its worst. I was only 13 at the time so I too was swallowed up by the whole "I'm from Southampton ergo I must hate Portsmouth" attitude. I've joined in a few anti-pompey songs over the years I will admit, but over recent years I have come to realise just how stupid, immature and pathetic this rivalry is. I'll concede that I don't particularly like the city of Portsmouth and I certainly wouldn't choose to live there (though I was never that keen on Southampton on the whole if truth be told, that's why I moved away!) Why should I hate anybody just because of where they were born and which football team they support? I respect anybody who supports their local team, so why should pompey fans be excluded from this? There's just no reason for it. I took a lot of stick from some very blinkered people on this forum in the run up to last year's FA cup final when I openly declared that I would rather see a team from my home county win the cup than one from a different country entirely. I think it was StuRomseySaint who described my attitude as 'sickening'. I think a lot of folk need to get a little persepctive.

Amen 1976 child. I too am skeptical about global warming. I have no doubt that our climate is changing but, and I will concede that I am not a scientist and by no means an expert on the matter, I have yet to read anything which proves beyond reasonable doubt that the current changes to our climate are anything other than part of a natural cycle. However, it does no harm to clean up our act anyway. You only have to look at the amount of pollution in the world's major cities (take Beijing for example) to realise that our current energy-production methods are not good for the health of the world's human population, even if they do not affect the rest of the planet.

Oh yeah completely forgot about the Old Oriental. They used to do the Ikon nights in there if I remember rightly. Got a few mashed memories of that place.

Nah it wasn't that long ago. Late 90s/early 00s I think.

I only ever went to the basement once, but I spent a lot of my clubbing youth at the Escape club before it became the Rhino. Right little sweatpit that was.

And here, I've finally found it. I thought I was going mad cos nobody else ever seems to remember it...

This has to be one of the greatest IMO...

Actually Jill, if you bothered to read up about it, you would realise there is a hell of a lot more to it than that.

Oh dear. That would appear to be David Bellamy's reputation well and truly destroyed then. Anyway, I wouldn't worry about climate change. The world is going to end on Dec 21 2012 anyway (perhaps as a result of the current climate change? Who knows?)
