PRESIDENTS / PRIME MINISTERS RATE
Government research created the internet? clearly history is not Obama's strong point given it was created by Tim Berners Lee

Premier League / Football League 13/14
Levy is a life long Spurs fan, every bad result he takes as badly as any other fan does, but he knows that AVB last season got more points than any other manager we have had and that this season we dont have our best player yet till Sunday had our best ever premiership start, it hasn't been pretty, but short of getting in Jurgen Klopp there is no one that can take us further than AVB Sure someone like Roberto Martinez would jump at the chance of the extra money and bigger budget we have, but would he take us further than AVB is? same with Laudrup, same with Pochettino etc, at best they would be sideways steps I think AVB is safe for at leaat another season tbh

As Hollande has shown with France, there is no place in the civilised world for the outdated sharp left 'soak the rich' politics France's most unpopular president, even riots during the Remembrance Day parade

Yay! The economy!
According to the original article on Sky, the government is bankrolling the trial and presumably if it is a success then it will be rolled out nationally Even if it was Sheffield Uni funding the scheme it would be coming out of the £9k a year students have to pay in tuition fees there. We need to be encouraging people NOT to have kids, with old people living longer more and more kids in the country is going to mesn greater demand on our infrastructure and services

Yay! The economy!
Even if that is so where does it end? Fat people given £200 vouchers to lose weight? Smokers given £200 to give up? Mothers of older kids given £200 if they keep kids away from KFC/McDonalds? Alcoholics given £200 to give up drinking? All those would have added health benefits in a generations time But totally unaffordable

Yay! The economy!
Latest barmy idea in this age of 'austerity' is the government is going to give grants of £200 to new mothers who agree to breastfeed their babies While people are homeless in the street, while many old people have to choose between heating and eating these idiots are going to pay out £200 to mothers to breastfeed This sort of nonsense you would not even get from a loony left council The grants are going to be paid out over a few months so presumably there is people going to periodically examine the mothers tits to see if she is keeping to it FFS give £200 grants to people who cant pay their heating bills not people voluntarily churning out another brat

If we were 12th or whatever i would be very concerned but we are only 3 points away from 2nd place We are creating chances but just not putting them away for various reasons, the fact chances are being created is a positive, if chances were not being created i would be bricking it Plus we have a tidy fund for Jan transfer market too, heavily linked with Hernandez, Llorente and Pato Whether any would come or in the case of Hernandez whether Utd would sell is a different matter

Interesting stats re Suarez, shows a player should not be written off just because he has had a slow start, hopefully in 3 years time Soldado will be showing similar form Soldado is a very good player but i think we bought him without having much thought how he would actually fit in, we need to change our system

X Factor · The Great British Songbook
They were marketed directly there by Cowell though and at that time American Idol was one of the biggest shows in America so they had an advantage of Cowell personally marketing them American X Factor is shown on some obscure cable channel here (ITV4 or something) so i would imagine UK X Factor isn't heavily marketed in America now

Iraq, it doesn't matter to me the fact the economy was in pretty good shape under his premiership, i will always judge him for Iraq and the illegal war/lying/shock and awe Economically there have been many worse PM's than Blair but internationally he set our image abroad back a generation and bought a lot of shit to our doorstep like hate preachers and islamic extremists Well deserving of a -1

X Factor · The Great British Songbook
Why would people in another country care about UK X Factor though? most countries have their own talent shows, would 99% of the planet even know X Factor UK is even on? barely 10m in the UK watch it, more prefer to see celebs prancing around in ballgowns

Kennedy Assassination 50th Anniversary.
Wasn't Cruz born in Canada or something? would he even be allowed to be president? Arnie was not allowed to stand for president due to being born in Austria Christie is a down to earth bloke but indeed looks to me like a heart attack waiting to happen given his John Candy like physique Bush, too tainted by Florida 2000 an the fact that he is the brother of the most vile and incompetent president of my lifetime

They are more likely to choose someone like that Rubio moron, a guy that raises money for an organisation to turn gay people straight, positively barmy :/ While the GOP are in the pocket of the tea party its best that Democrats have the nuclear button

Probably a shoe in for the presidency if she stands too, I am more Republican than Democrat but there is no credible republican out there

If Hillary is half as good as her husband was then she will be a great president, Clinton was the best president of my lifetime IMHO, even better than Reagan But she will probably be too old in 2016, shame, really respect her

We tried for Negredo, in Jan and in the summer but he wasn't interested unfortunately on either occasion, would have been a great purchase yes

X Factor · The Great British Songbook
You Tube stats are not being translated into votes though Nicholas, Sam C and Luke have not been in the bottom 2 yet in voting yet are way down in you tube stats Same with Cher Lloyd when she was on X Factor, she topped the You Tube stats week in week out but was in 2 sing offs and would have lost the public vote both times

Who were the strikers under Kenny? am guessing Carroll although if Kenny bought Carroll then presumably Torres was a Kenny striker until Jan, wasn't it Kenny who bought Suarez too? All of those are better than what we have atm But i still think Soldado will come good, the system doesn't suit him, he is basically a 'fox in the box' getting a toe on good crosses from wingers, atm we have Townsend hitting and hoping from 30 yards instead of cutting into the byline to cross into the box for Soldado We need to change our system imho to a way that gives Soldado more service

Robbie is a very good big band singer IMHO His Swing While You're Winning album from Albert Hall was imho his best album

X Factor · Big Band Week
X Factor is being killed yet again by pre pubescent and barely pubescent little girls If only there was some means of young girls (say under 15) being banned from voting Because girls fancy Nicholas, Luke and Sam they are getting through week after week while artists like Tamera have been in sing offs None of the boys are any good but it looks like 2 or even 3 of them will be in the final because of stupid dribbling girls

I think its a confidence thing really As Suedehead said, we have had 70 odd shots on goal this season and scored 9 That is pathetic by any stretch of the imagination So i think sooner or later we are going to win a game 5 or 6 nil and the goals will start flowing I don't know the shots on goal of our rivals but would be surprised if we are not high up the list
