  1. Haha! Trust a Manchester United fan to forget about them :P
  2. Chelsea are only the sixth club in history to do the double! First done by Preston then Villa, Spurs, Arsenal and Manchester United.

    This really isn't as bad people on here make it out to be :lol: This is probably their 'Long Hot Summer' i.e. a 'test the water' song that won't do as well. Right now I don't see this going to #1 and then the female artist bummers going ' LOL ZOMG :rofl: ' then a much better will come out at the time their album is out with an X Factor performance and then another big album will follow and will do a lot better than Alexandra again. And to those who talk about autotune, of course it is! All songs like these are autotuned because for some reason it's the fashion right now.
  4. That is possibly the most ignorant thing I've ever seen you say on here.. Come on if under Labour your business went under and it completely wrecked your life due to their polices you'd still not have forgiven them 20 years later no matter what. Like a lot of Thatcherites I think you don't realise HOW badly some people's lives were ruined and you wouldn't believe that some people still suffer now but hey! They're poor now so they must have suddenly lost IQ points and become unintelligent which means they don't matter.
  5. No! No! You've got it all wrong! He's working in some chip shop in Stockport!

  8. Advantage to the Seasiders then :D Not looking good for Grimsby at present :(
  9. Well Labour didn't lose as much as people thought they would so maybe if there is another election in 18 months with a new leader (Ed Milliband would be my choice as much as none of them are Obama-like) then Labour could re-take the marginal seats like my one in which Labour basically lost because people don't like Brown. A lot of Lib Dem voters may vote Labour but maybe Lib Dem may get more votes because more 'Clegg-surge' people would vote. Who knows? Thing is if the Tories CAN get the Lib Dems to side with them then they'll have to be on their best behaviour so they won't be able to do quite a lot of things they wanted so they won't be quite as unpopular as they would have been if they had a majority.
  10. He said "how many of yous are robbers?" at the start and the video shows no evidence of them trying to vandalise or break into a car. Plus I don't see spitting at someone hurts them as much as punching and kicking them. He accused them of being robbers because they were asian i.e. racist
  11. What I don't understand is: 1. Why does Jacqui Smith have the nerve to try and defend her seat after her role in the expenses scandal? 2. Why did they think that sending Tony Blair up to Redditch would help? :lol: This coming from a Labour voter :lol: Hope she does lose tbh. I can see Andrew Landsley (sp?) losing his seat for the Tories in Cambridge with the amount of signs there are around there. I hope Patrick Hall (Labour) holds on here as I don't like the Conservative candidate has bombarded me with letters and after reading every single one of them I just like him less and less.
  12. Money can't buy you everything :D Congrats Spurs, glad they were the club to break the top four! Well deserved!
  13. Oh dear! Oh dear... Same old Tories at it again! Rising Tory star Philippa Stroud ran prayer sessions to 'cure' gay people Conservative high-flyer Philippa Stroud founded a church that tried to 'cure' homosexuals by driving out their 'demons http://static.guim.co.uk/sys-images/Guardian/Pix/pictures/2010/5/1/1272753749984/Philippa-Stroud-006.jpg Philippa Stroud, the Conservative parliamentary candidate for Sutton and Cheam, has founded US-style evangelical churches in Bedford and in Birmingham. A high-flying prospective Conservative MP, credited with shaping many of the party's social policies, founded a church that tried to "cure" homosexuals by driving out their "demons" through prayer. Philippa Stroud, who is likely to win the Sutton and Cheam seat on Thursday and is head of the Centre for Social Justice, the thinktank set up by the former Tory leader Iain Duncan Smith, has heavily influenced David Cameron's beliefs on subjects such as the family. A popular and energetic Tory, she is seen as one of the party's rising stars. The CSJ reportedly claims to have formulated as many as 70 of the party's policies. Stroud has spoken of how her Christian faith has motivated her to help the poor and of her time spent working with the destitute in Hong Kong. On her return to Britain, in 1989, she founded a church and night shelter in Bedford, the King's Arms Project, that helped drug addicts and alcoholics. It also counselled gay, lesbian and transsexual people. Abi, a teenage girl with transsexual issues, was sent to the church by her parents, who were evangelical Christians. "Convinced I was demonically possessed, my parents made the decision to move to Bedford, because of this woman [stroud] who had come back from Hong Kong and had the power to set me free," Abi told the Observer. "She wanted me to know all my thinking was wrong, I was wrong and the so-called demons inside me were wrong. The session ended with her and others praying over me, calling out the demons. She really believed things like homosexuality, transsexualism and addiction could be fixed just by prayer, all in the name of Jesus." "T" said he moved to Bedford because he believed the church could help him stop having homosexual thoughts. "I was trying to convince myself that a change was possible but, at the same time, a part of me didn't believe it was possible," he said. "The church's approach was not that it was sinful to be homosexual but that it was sinful to act on it. The aim is to get a person to a position where they don't have these sinful emotions and thoughts." "T" said it was only after he "took a break" from the church that his depression lifted. "It was the church's attitude towards my sexuality that was the issue," he recalled. "My impression is that she genuinely cares about people," he said of Stroud. "Her personal beliefs may get in the way sometimes, but she is a positive person." Stroud and her husband, David, a minister in the New Frontiers church, allied to the US evangelical movement, left the project in the late 1990s to establish another church in Birmingham. Angela Paterson, who was an administrator at the Bedford church, said: "With hindsight, the thing that freaks me out was everybody praying that a demon would be cast out of me because I was gay. Anything – drugs, alcohol or homosexuality, they thought you had a demon in you." Kacey Jones, a hostel resident, said she was told to end her lesbian relationship or leave the church. "Philippa was still around when I first moved in," Jones said. "There was a 'discipleship house' for Christians struggling with issues, including their sexuality. They told me my feelings weren't normal. I didn't want to be gay, I wanted to be like everybody else, get married, have kids and please my parents." Stroud wrote a book, God's Heart for the Poor, in which she explains how to deal with people showing signs of "demonic activity". Stroud, who declined to talk to the Observer, writes: "I'd say the bottom line is to remember your spiritual authority as a child of God. He is so much more powerful than anything else!" In the book she discusses the daily struggle of running the hostel. "One girl lived in the hostel for some time, became a Christian, then choked to death on her own vomit after a drinking bout. Her life had changed to some extent, but we wondered whether God knew that she hadn't the will to stick with it and was calling her home." One resident featured in the book, Mary, was in an abusive relationship. "We discovered further layers of the tangle when she admitted to previous lesbian relationships and to being on the receiving end of abuse from her family," Stroud writes, adding: "No wonder she was in such a mess!" The Conservatives have tried to win over gay voters after a string of controversial comments by party members. The shadow home secretary, Chris Grayling, said owners of B&B accommodation should have the right to turn away gay couples. Julian Lewis, the shadow defence minister, said he was against lowering the age of consent from 18 to 16 for homosexuals. Revelations about Stroud's past are likely to make the party's task even more difficult. "This reinforces our long-held suspicions that those out of sight, but with their hands on the levers of power, have deeply reactionary ambitions," said Keith Porteous Wood, executive director of the National Secular Society. Ben Summerskill, chief executive of the Stonewall group, said: "If Mrs Stroud has been praying to rid Britain of its homosexuality, she clearly hasn't been praying hard enough. It would be highly regrettable if someone who continued to hold these views held any significant office in government."

  14. You are always welcome! Infact you're trapped in a cage now!
  15. Because he was rubbish at Blackburn so no one took a chance of him until Fulham came in for him. Remember they wrote him off saying he never does well in England! Fulham have never won a major trophy before but the Europa League would be a brilliant one to win. The best thing though is the legend that is Diego Forlan put Liverpool out. :heart: :P
  16. 1. Brown 2. Cameron 3. Clegg Facebook keeps deleting my status' about Brown's performance tonight, they also deleted my brothers' status about him yesterday too :blink:
  17. Thing is you can see what he's saying happening now! Made me realise how well they've actually done to combat everything that's happened recently. Clegg isn't doing so well tonight, forgot he was there for the first hour tbh.
  18. Funny you should mention that with the economic debate tomorrow. That could be something that could go against Cameron as he was directly involved with just that. Labour may have buggered up but the Tory economic plans are frighteningly ridiculous tbh.
  19. URGH! For the last time the playlist isn't compiled based on where they'll get in the bloody chart! Radio 1 picks the songs based on what their audience want to listen to. Plus surely people have learned by now that the third or fourth singles from albums rarely do so well nowadays because people have bought the ALBUM. I love how the term 'flop' is used so much around, there are plenty of bands who are in it because they like making music and would love a top 75 hit.
  20. He shouldn't have said it but he was right tbh. You should have taken Rupert's mic off Gordon.
  21. Harve has just voluntarily caged himself :) *cages*
  22. England? No where near! The Italians are the worst! Cheated their way to win the last World Cup! Look at what actually happens, not what is manipulated in the tabloids.
  23. And his wife has been having an affair with... a Derby County player :lol: Who can it be? :o Robbie Savage? :lol: I'm suprised they haven't picked this up earlier, Everton fans have been singing 'The baby is not yours' for aaaaaaaaaaaaages. I saw a couple of stories about a Rugby player cheating on his wife and a 'Rugby legend' driving down the wrong side of the motorway both in small columns near the back :lol: Funny how it's so different when it's about someone that people actually care about! @onika miraj: He's been rubbish for Liverpool this season anyway :P If we don't play him, then play Milner and then he wouldn't have to swap with Rooney then Rooney will have more freedom and Heskey can just concentrate on helping Rooney :D
  24. ROFL! John Terry sent off! :rofl: See you later priiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiick! :rolleyes: 20 minutes to go! Hold on please.
  25. I'm cheering on Spurs for the second time in a row, strange things happen come near the end of the season :P HE SCORES PAUL SCHOLES HE SCORES GOALS HE SCORES PAUL SCHOLES HE SCORES GOALS
