I never said it was due to any particular policies, more to do with a "feelgood factor" in the business community that Labour were out of power, there was great relief in the business community at the demise of Labour so business merely felt it could do business again.

Will watch it sometime in the week or next weekend lol, think it will have to be the weekend but will see it ^_^

Just when I thought that Catholic priests couldn't get more f***ed up along comes this imbecile :rolleyes: As he is Austrian he must have been chosen by the nazi who resides in the vatican http://www.news24.com/World/News/Bishop-Lo...as-sin-20100807 Salzburg - An Austrian bishop describes the techno festival that led to 21 deaths and 500 injuries as a sinful event and indirectly links the deaths to God's punishment. Salzburg's Roman Catholic bishop, Andreas, Laun says that the Love Parade and participation in it is "a rebellion against creation and against God's order, are sins and an invitation to sin!" Writing on the German-language website Kath.net, Laun warns against judging the dead and saying their death was God's punishment. At the same time, he indirectly links the deaths to God's right to punish apostates - those who turn their back on the true faith. The tragedy occurred July 24, when crowds of people streaming into the festival in the German city of Duisburg surged through a jammed entry tunnel.

Never seen Marley & Me, I heard the dog dies and I am too scared to watch it incase it does set me off lol I am an animal person, people can die the most gruesome of deaths, be hacked to bits etc and I won't even blink but shove a cute animal into a film or have a scene of animal cruelty I am a totally different person lol. much prefer animals to people

Really can't see the big deal, it is a free society, people can do what they want with their money, if they choose to buy X Factor songs then so be it if they make the charts.

Yeah will be interesting to see what happens I think City have got the most that they can out of their status, the true big names would never go there unless they had regular CL football, the likes of Torres, Iniesta, Kaka, Messi etc would laugh at them but a couple of years time could be a lot different

Same, While I have never cried at seeing a movie The Green Mile was a major lump in the throat job at times especially the scene with the warden attacking the mouse

Since Cameron took over the economy went from being static, teetering on the brink, to growing by I think it was 1.2%, far more than double what the experts predicted, Labour tried to claim credit for the revival but 2 out of 3 of those months were under the tory administration and the other month under a dissolved parliament so Cameron can rightly claim the credit, yes it might not last but the growth that last quarter was spectacular compared with what experts predicted.

Yeah but Silva has the 3rd most assists in La Liga last season, Toure will give them some bite in midfield, Milner got tons of assists for Villa so I think they will create more chances than anyone next season in the EPL, whether those chances will be converted into goals is a different matter but their midfield looks scary tbh

1. Man City 2. Chelsea 3. Arsenal 4. Man Utd 5. Spurs 6. Liverpool 7. Everton 8. Villa 9. Newcastle 10. Sunderland 11. Birmingham 12. Stoke 13. Fulham 14. Blackburn 15. West Ham 16. Wolves 17. Bolton 18. West Brom 19. Blackpool 20. Wigan

Nice one B) B)

Prescott is the worst type of hypocrite, if he had any honour like Robin Cook had he would have resigned and spoken out against the war and how there was no case for it but no he kept his mouth shut, accepted his ministerial jags, massive salary, grace and favour mansion and fancy title and turned a blind eye to everything, pathetic spineless man

Is there gonna be a predictions thing this season ? guessing who finishes where in premiership

Can't we all just club in and bring Mehmet Ali Agca out of retirement ? Far better than arresting the pope would be a bullet in between his eyes

Stupid decision, gave him extra publicity and probably increased the membership of the BNP as he is good at playing the victim. Far better denying him the oxygen of publicity

Right decision No way would anything have stood up in court so it is best that he is investigated and disciplined by the police themselves

The coalition was a smart move by Cameron, divide and rule. By "partnering" with the Lib Dems and giving them a handful of token insignificant cabinet posts he has ensured that the Lib Dems are finished as a political force AV will be comprehensively rejected by the British public at the referrendum I confidently predict and with the economy transformed since Cameron took over I think it is going to be more than a honeymoon period for him so he has popularity, the economy is strong and the Lib Dems were suckered into a so called partnership which will put them in the political wilderness for a generation, smart work Dave.

Hope this acts as a wake up call to Gazza as his death will be the next big sporting death I suspect unless he sorts himself out and fast

Been a lovely summer down here in the SE tbh, lost count of the number of evenings spent sat outside and in general rarely had any days under the early 20's :wub: Been a BBQ summer here

Very true about the last bit but it's a question of BALANCE really, all the intelligent posters are hard left or left of centre whereas I am the only one who stands up for the Tories and is right of centre so any political debate while full of intelligent people would just be an anti Tory love in with everyone agreeing with each other which IMHO if I was removed would make for pretty sterile debate. of course being right wing doesn't exempt me from board rules or grant me any special treatment but I don't think the board especially news/perspectives would benefit from my expulsion so while it is out of my hands I do feel that a final warning and an order not to participate in any future debates about Israel would be more appropriate and serve the interests of the board better than banning .

Nor do I, but at the end of the day I am not a robot or machine and make mistakes/errors if judgement and then again who here can honestly say they have never said something over the top in anger online or offline ? There is no serious defense for what I said I fully hold my hand up But at the end of the day what sort of BJ do you or those that want me banned want ? What makes for better debate ? Someone who gives it his all in debates and says what is on his mind even if occasionally overstepping the mark or a goody two shoes who won't say boo to a goose ? and there is bloody tons of them on here, nice guys/girls but hardly adding colour to the forum

Thanks yeah to say I was in a foul mood at the time is a bit of an understatement, doesn't excuse what I said and that was red mist/anger/frustration boiling over and not an accurate reflection as such of my views I just wanted to let rip after someone had wasted 3 weeks of my time offline over a house I was looking at getting but I still said it and that Is what management will judge me on at the end of the day.

I don't think I should be banned, I fully expect to be but I hope for the greater good of news/perspectives a warning or final warning is deemed sufficient, what turned into a 10 page debate and IMHO a very good one would have been a half page thread of condemnation which would be 3/4 down the page now likewise me being the only one on BJ that is prepared to go into bat for the tory party makes for good balance of debates and discussion on here and my banning would lead to little or no political debate on here as everyone would be singing from the same hymnsheet so I don't believe that some people's desire for my head on a plate would make for a better news/perspectives forum if they succeed.

I did overstep the mark I accept that and indeed am fully expecting a ban will take it on the chin, I had debated cleanly and fairly for 10 pages against up to a dozen lefties and was very clean and polite then something happened offline that put me in a mood and Danny's what I viewed as sarcastic remarks while I was in a mood set me off big time and I let rip, if I am banned I am banned but my previous good conduct in thread and this forum since my last ban should IMHO make the matter worthy of a warning but whatever is meant to happen will happen

I am slightly calmer now, no doubt given I have been quoted twice I will likely get another ban for my anger fuelled rant but everyone has their breaking point and Danny and others found mine !
