Thing is, people might get very wound up about the thought of the Incirlik base being over run and automatically assume that would mean IS getting their hands on nuclear capability. It's just not that simple. The delivery systems are incredibly complex and require constant maintenance the cost of which is quite prohibitive. These things are not all kept fuelled up and ready to fire at a moments notice. Not only that, moving the warheads is a complex and delicate operation that requires huge logistical effort - it's not like Abdul could turn up with his Halfords budget tool kit and unscrew the lid on a warhead to nick the contents. It's one thing getting your hands on enough material to create a viable weapon, it's quite another to actually create that weapon. Why else do you think that these things created and handled by nation states?

Interesting. I saw your comment and thought 'oh yes they do' Turns out they did, but they were dismantled after SA signed the non-proliferation treaty in 1989. To date, SA is the only country to have ever voluntarily given up nuclear weapons. I have learned something new today.

'So Jonny, what do you want to be when you grow up?' 'A complete cVnt mummy'

The epic levels of ignorance are quite astounding

Two years is the what which Pike start to breed. Probably about 14 in human terms. Which would be about the same as when their sistermums take them.

I love debates on nuclear weapons. They always end up so well argued and reasonable from both sides.......

1) he's gone get over it. 2) yeah...... Those stats look nice but the flaw there is the 'if he plays all year', which he won't.

God sneezed.

Money.

Some complete melt has done one of those dumbas$ things on Twitter - Which is the bigger club R/T for Pompey like for Southampton The responses are as inevitable as they are dull. Especially from the skates wh have used it as an opportunity to fall back on FACTS........

So I rang the ticket office to find out if the ticket for my son is on the way. According to the account on the official site, it's been printed so I couldn't understand why it hadn't turned up yet. 'Is it a concession ticket?' I was asked 'Yes my son is under 16' replies I 'Did you send in proof of age?' She said 'No, I wasn't asked to when I bought the ticket' 'Oh..... You need to provide proof of his age before the ticket gets sent out. Can you provide a copy of his passport with his customer number?' Cue phone calls to the ex for a scan of his passport, much grumbling from her and, finally, a copy of my sons passport. And this morning my sons season ticket arrived. I haven't sent anything to the club to prove his age. Confused? Yes. Bothered? Nope. I got his ticket.

I said all along Zlatan would sign for Man U. I'll take payment in pies thank you

Well a reduction in capacity just makes it easier to prove their portsmyth that they sell out every game

If they don't use that money to pay back their failed attempt to get out of league two (again) last season then they'll definitely be using it on these silly signings we're seeing now.

http://fansonline.net/portsmouth/mb/view.php?id=645257 Nice to see them obsessing over season ticket sales. Because it's really really really important that you sell more season tickets than other clubs....... (Protip: it's what you do with the money that counts)

Hmmmm. I got mine but not my sons yet......

Oh my god. The club don't know what they're doing Les reed is clueless We're going to get relegated No ambition Sell all our good players Did I miss anything?

Saints fans criticising Les Reed for talking up the squad..... Wow

Served the club well during his time with us. Just goes to show what a great player he is despite the goal drought. Best of luck to him

Closet scummer obviously. Or maybe..... Just maybe the blue tinted spectacles are starting to slip letting a small sliver of reality in. After all they are about to start yet another season in League Two after having failed to get promotion. Again.

People panicking before a ball has been kicked...... Might as well worry about the sun rising. I'll worry if we're in the relegation zone at Christmas. Not before

They're kicking off about a friendly? Really?

You do realise that it's because most skates have never been off the peninsula.

'The more money we get in, the more we can give the manager' 1) but I thought the squad they spent loads on last season was good enough for promotion 2) about as subtle a hint for more money from the fans as a brick to the back of the head

It was about oil. Just like it always is.
