  1. I'm liking the change to Torres's old chant at Anfield...did make me laugh Fernando proved his not a Red,torres Torres!! the Money went straight to his head Torres Torres!! go to Chelsea,ruin Your life,we hope John Terry !*!@# your wife.
  2. Because they want nice people to play for the national team. Nice people who don't get into trouble and smile alot. Bringing the nation into disrepute in an international competition would cost money in unavoidable fines. This was said after the world cup too. I went and took the dogs out at half time and missed the goals....oops. Couldn't believe it when I got back and seen the result on Sky Sports News. Was eagerly awaiting MOTD after that. Granted there was some dubious linesman/womanship. Leon Best had a goal disallowed when he was clearly being played onside by Rosicky. Williamson going down in the box was given a bit easily too but I am definitely not complaining!! Mrs Brettly told me that Barton was in a scuffle to which I replied that he probably started it Pleased we came back and gave them a run for their money and also that Sunderland got beat. Ameobi is supposedly looking at 6 months now so Ranger & Best are going to have to pull their socks up and Ranger did look promising yesterday when he came on but constant graft is needed. http://www.skysports.com/story/0,19528,11678_6732975,00.html
  3. It's going to be used to get Ashley's head above water for him selling the club of course. Well thats what I personally think he's waiting for....hence the lack of funds available so far. A fraction of that will be available in the summer if we can wait that long. Rumours for Elmander from Bolton would be good but don't think he would appreciate the lack of support from the middle of the park either. We need a full on grafter or a better all round team. Neither of these things are going to come over the next few years let alone overnight so a long hard slog ahead is forecast. http://www.thedailymash.co.uk/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=3487 http://www.thedailymash.co.uk/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=3492
  4. BREAKING NEWS fernando torres deal with chelsea has fallen through due to john terry not agreeing personal terms with torres"s mrs
  5. Gutted he's gone but for that sort of money they would be daft to let him go. After all we have got Stephen Ireland Ireland and barton in the middle with routledge and guttierez on the wings. Nolan supporting either Ranger, Best or Ameobi up front. Ameobi will have to swap his boots over and start kicking straight. It was announcedin the Journal t'other week that Ranger was committed to scoring goals for the Toon so he just needs to pull his socks up and have a good go. After all he appears to put more effort in that Ameobi but doesn't get a game. Don't think Best has a hat-trick in him every game but we need some commitment from all of the players and leave Perch on the bench and we should be fine.

    Petrol

    On the subject of the hydrogen fuel cells however, I didn't realise that they had distributed cars to people. Im guessing that the unit & retail cost of the cells is too high at the moment and it will just be time that determines when the price comes down like any technology. I had a quick 15 minute search about after posting yesterday and although the Honda's aren't the most amazing looking cars it is definitely the way forward. Marty McFly clearly had it all wrong when he thought about hovering cars....

    Petrol

    I didn't say that you did! I was mainly making the same comparison as you. The fuel companies and the government don't want alternative sources of bio-diesels & fuels due to the taxation on current fuels just like the pharmaceuticals companies don't want alternative medicines available as if people started using cheaper alternatives then they wouldn't make any money.

    Petrol

    Weren't Honda leading the forefront in researching Hydrogen fuel cells, only issue they had the trouble with was actually harnassing it due to the flammability of Hydrogen. BBC article Mrs Brettly practices complimentary and alternative therapies and at the moment they are attempting to pass laws against the use & purchase of (predominently chinese) herbal medicines unless you are a registered homeopath etc. A way of controlling how many people can obtain and use alternative medicines. They seem to forget the fact that these medicines originated from our ancesters who experimented with natural remedies. If you start getting into the whole "Big Pharma" argument it's a whole new can of worms however.
  9. Roses are red, violets are blue, i've got alzheimers, cheese on toast.
  10. bloody hell, thats rather thin. Can see some huge benefits of that in phones and othere devices and would look rather sleek and prevent screen cracks i would presume.

    Who have you seen?

    The above Jonny & Lucy supported The Unthanks on their tour last year
  12. Was looking at these the other day as the girly has just got a £150 grant from the OU for computer resources but didn't really meet the requirements and getting a laptop instead. Tesco Direct have got some okay deals on at the minute. She was determined to get an iPad but I managed to talk her round to get more for her money.

    Who have you seen?

    Me and the girly have been right getting into our folk music recently, attended the Green Man Festival in the Brecon Beacons, Wales in August and had an excellent relaxed time for a muddy festival. Small intimate and everyone so friendly. Went to the Sage last weekend and seen The Smoke Fairies. They were good but the two supporting acts were better in my opinion. Jonny Kearney & Lucy Farrell - http://www.jonnyandlucy.com/ Sensational and interacted with the crowd nicely. Will be attending the Sage over the next couple of months for a few other events. Worth checking out for anyone who likes something a bit different.
  14. I think Andy Gray and Richard Keys should be sacked after their ignorant, sexist comments on TV. Sky Sports should set an example and give their jobs to female presenters. Preferably ones with really big :censored:. Following the controversial comments made by Andy Gray and Richard Keys on having a woman lines man, it's now being heard that the female lines 'woman' in question was very upset even before kick off...When she discovered that the referee and the other lines man were wearing the same outfit as her. Andy Gray and Richard Keys, in trouble for offending women referee assistants. I can't agree more, the only line a women should be near if she is putting my washing on it. Following Andy Gray's sacking by Sky for "unacceptable and offensive behaviour" Sky's touchline reporter Andy Burton has been suspended for referring to 25-year-old assistant referee Massey as "a bit of a looker" during an off-air chat with Gray. The reasons for Burton's suspension were "questionable taste and dodgy eyesight". For sale: Giant iPad-like table for sale. Connects to TV via HDMI cable. Great for watching football highlights on and analyzing them slowly and methodically when everyone else just wants to see the goals. Contact Andy Gray. The lineswoman's a !*!@# !... or at least that's what I like to think I'm glad to see the FA is standing behind the female assistant referee Sian Massey. That way they can look over her shoulder and tell her when to put the pretty flag up.

  16. "Einstein, Newton and Pascal decide to play hide and seek. Einstein is it, closes his eyes, counts to 10 then opens them. Pascal is no where to be seen. Newton is sitting right in front of Einstein, with a piece of chalk in his hand. He's sitting in a box drawn on the ground, a meter to a side. Einstein says "Newton, you're terrible, I've found you!" Newton says "No no, Einy. You've found one Newton per square meter. You've found Pascal!"
  17. TOOLS EXPLAINED: DRILL PRESS: A tall upright machine useful for suddenly snatching flat metal bar stock out of your hands so that it smacks you in the chest and flings your beer across the room, denting the freshly-painted project which you had carefully set in the corner where nothing could get to it. WIRE WHEEL: Cleans paint off bolts and then throws them somewhere under the workbench with the speed of light. Also removes fingerprints and hard-earned calluses from fingers in about the time it takes you to say, "Oh, !*!@#!" SKILL SAW: A portable cutting tool used to make studs too short. PLIERS: Used to round off bolt heads. Sometimes used in the creation of blood-blisters. BELT SANDER: An electric sanding tool commonly used to convert minor touch-up jobs into major refinishing jobs. HACKSAW: One of a family of cutting tools built on the Ouija board principle... It transforms human energy into a crooked, unpredictable motion, and the more you attempt to influence its course, the more dismal your future becomes. VISE-GRIPS: Generally used after pliers to completely round off bolt heads. If nothing else is available, they can also be used to transfer intense welding heat to the palm of your hand. OXYACETYLENE TORCH: Used almost entirely for igniting various flammable objects in your shop. Also handy for igniting the grease inside the wheel hub out of which you want to remove a bearing race.. TABLE SAW: A large stationary power tool commonly used to launch wood projectiles for testing wall integrity. HYDRAULIC FLOOR JACK: Used for lowering an automobile to the ground after you have installed your new brake shoes, trapping the jack handle firmly under the bumper. BAND SAW: A large stationary power saw primarily used by most shops to cut good aluminum sheet into smaller pieces that more easily fit into the trash can after you cut on the inside of the line instead of the outside edge. TWO-TON ENGINE HOIST: A tool for testing the maximum tensile strength of everything you forgot to disconnect. PHILLIPS SCREWDRIVER: Normally used to stab the vacuum seals under lids or for opening old-style paper-and-tin oil cans and splashing oil on your shirt; but can also be used, as the name implies, to strip out Phillips screw heads. STRAIGHT SCREWDRIVER: A tool for opening paint cans. Sometimes used to convert common slotted screws into non-removable screws and butchering your palms. PRY BAR: A tool used to crumple the metal surrounding that clip or bracket you needed to remove in order to replace a 50p part. HOSE CUTTER: A tool used to make hoses too short. HAMMER: Originally employed as a weapon of war, the hammer nowadays is used as a kind of divining rod to locate the most expensive parts adjacent the object we are trying to hit. UTILITY KNIFE: Used to open and slice through the contents of cardboard cartons delivered to your front door; works particularly well on contents such as seats, vinyl records, liquids in plastic bottles, collector magazines, refund checks, and rubber or plastic parts. Especially useful for slicing work clothes, but only while in use.. !*!@# !*!@# TOOL: Any handy tool that you grab and throw across the garage while yelling "!*!@# !*!@#" at the top of your lungs. It is also, most often, the next tool that you will need or often results in further injury to yourself.

    Playstation Move

    Got the bairn the Eyetoy for xmas and going to get the Move starter pack for that. They look good fun and there are a few games out there at the moment. You can get the gun remotes which you seat the original move remote in and use it like a real gun. Very Time Crisis-esque.
  19. I read these as if Milton Jones was saying them. Sounds like his sort of material.
  20. A man boarded an aircraft at London's Heathrow Airport Terminal 5 for New York, and taking his seat as he settled in, he noticed a very beautiful woman boarding the plane. He realised she was heading straight toward his seat and bingo - she took the seat right beside him. 'Hello', he blurted out, 'Business trip or vacation?' She turned, smiled enchantingly and said, 'Business. I'm going to the annual nymphomaniac convention in the United States .' He swallowed hard. Here was the most gorgeous woman he had ever seen sitting next to him, and she was going to a meeting for nymphomaniacs! Struggling to maintain his composure, he calmly asked, 'What's your business role at this convention?' 'Lecturer,' she responded. 'I use my experience to debunk some of the popular myths about sexuality.' 'Really', he smiled, 'what myths are those?' 'Well,' she explained, 'one popular myth is that African-American men are the most well endowed when, in fact, it's the Native American Indian who is most likely to possess that trait. Another popular myth is that French men are the best lovers, when actually it is the men of Greek descent. We have also found that the most adventurous lovers in all categories are the Irish.' Suddenly the woman became uncomfortable and blushed. 'I'm sorry,' she said 'I really shouldn't be discussing this with you, I don't even know your name!' 'Tonto,' the man said. 'Tonto Papadopoulos, but my friends call me Paddy.' ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- One afternoon a Scotsman was riding in his limousine when he saw two men along the roadside eating grass. Disturbed, he ordered his driver to stop and he got out to investigate. He asked one man, "Why are you eating grass?" "We don't have any money for food," the poor man replied. "We have to eat grass." "Well, then, you can come with me to my house and I'll feed you," the Scotsman said. "But sir, I have a wife and two children with me. They are over there, under that tree." "Bring them along," the Scotsman replied. Turning to the other poor man he stated, "You come with us, also." The second man, in a pitiful voice, then said, "But sir, I also have a wife and SIX children with me!" "Bring them all, as well," the Scotsman answered. They all entered the car, which was no easy task, even for a car as large as the limousine was. Once under way, one of the poor fellows turned to the Scotsman and said, "Sir, you are too kind.. Thank you for taking all of us with you.” The Scotsman replied, "Glad to do it. "You'll really love my place. "The grass is almost a foot high. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- A woman in a supermarket is following a grandfather and his badly behaved 3 year-old grandson. It's obvious to her that he has his hands full with the child screaming for sweets in the sweet aisle, biscuits in the biscuit aisle; and for fruit, cereal and pop in the other aisles. Meanwhile, Granddad is working his way around, saying in a controlled voice, "Easy, William, we won't be long . . . Easy, boy." Another outburst, and she hears the granddad calmly say, "It's okay, William, just a couple more minutes and we'll be out of here. Hang in there, boy" At the checkout, the little terror is throwing items out of the cart, and Granddad says again in a controlled voice, "William, William, relax buddy, don't get upset. We'll be home in five minutes; stay cool, William." Very impressed, the woman goes outside where the grandfather is loading his groceries and the boy into the car. She said to the elderly gentleman, "It's none of my business, but you were amazing in there. I don't know how you did it. That whole time, you kept your composure, and no matter how loud and disruptive he got, you just calmly kept saying things would be okay. William is very lucky to have you as his grandpa." "Thanks," said the grandfather, "But I'm William . . . That little b***ard's name is Kevin."
  21. You should be able to scan for networks rather than manually entering the SSID. Make sure that you don't have to allow the PSP's MAC address on your router to allow the connection and make sure that your router is broadcasting your SSID so that it can be detected. WLAN switch on the top of the PSP needs to be set to 'On' to be able to detect the network when scanning and like GGG says, enter the WEP key ensuring that the case is adhered to.
  22. I was out in the car with the girlfriend the other day when I got pulled over by the police. The policeman bent over and stuck his head in the window. "You been drinking son?" To which I replied "She's not that fat is she officer?"
  23. There was a means of organising a poker night at your pub a while back where the company sent the organiser out a poker set, table and instructions on how to run the night, inclusive of tables and all documentation to support the night you were organising. After so many nights were held the said company would organise regional tournaments between different venues within your area. I can't quite remember which company it was that organised this but seemed really well organised. They used to do it at the Joiners in Blyth. Was held on a Wednesday night and created revenue for the premises on a quieter night so I can't see landlords/ladies having a problem with this. A gambling licence would be required but if fruit machines/bandits are available then this should be covered (don't quote me on that though) but there are ways around it.....say a £10 entrance fee rather than betting with money and valuing the chips I won't be interested but I would imagine most of the pubs wouldn't be too bothered about it taking place. May have been southern comfort that organised it but can't remember exactly.
