Quite, though I thought the headline funny. Just the sort of thing to cause a double take in those who see it. :grin: Did anyone here actually see this broadcast? I did. He was pretty much demolished by the panel and audience. He's claiming it was a lynching now, which is mildly ironic to say the l...

On the whole subject of immigrants-knowing-more-than-the-natives.... When the UK citizenship test was introduced a few years ago, it was shown that hardly anyone actually born and bred here could get more than a 1/4 right. I tried it as well, and most of it such inanley irrelavent nonsense, it doesn...

Oi! It aint the Euros as a whole, just the Frogs! He hasnt been allowed into the UK for years, because he would have been nicked on sight.

No doubt there'll be a highly thrilling media circus around this before and after he gets extradited.

I guess the incandescent bulbs might look a bit more like sunlight, and thus feels more natural. The color is certainly different, so it could be anywhere from "they changed it now it sucks" to a built in feeling we have to like the sun. Supposedly thats been an issue for people with visual impairm...

WMP11 for me as well. I have not had any issues with it, and its easy enough for even I, King Numbskull the 3rd to use.

Possibly one of the more disturbing things I've seen recently The trouble for advertisers in the UK is that the Great Unwashed Masses worship at the Alter of the Kettle, and we know exactly how long the average ad break is. Unless your advert is amusing, we won't be watching

Have fun, and always remember to wear a clean pair of knickers.You never know when you might get run over by an APC.

They did a fairly sensible thing of deciding to build them at a slower pace, so they managed to keep the jobs that were depending on them.

3000 isn't a huge number really, considering how many sea and airports we have

It's a start, I suppose. and since the Tories seem to be destined to take power in a few years, you can expect an expansion then as well.

Our defence minister doesn't seem to have a huge amount of knowledge about the military, really. One day, we're to have some more ships, yes we are...honest..maybe....possibly.

Yeah, there are problems. One of the main ones (although not totally accountable) is the media over hyping it. It never used to happen a few years ago, and since then, practically everyday on the news its "kids/teenagers are a bunch of shits, PUNISH THEM!!!!!" I'm currently in college, have been for...

Quick! send a few more ships to the Falklands!

As for those prices...that' a fairly big hike for such a short time. At least the rises over here have been slower.

I gotta say, I don't think they're asking for much.... Just for what they earned.

And most if not all British people would agree with that. Even the most right wing rag with a hard on for immigrants has been taking up the story.

British soldiers have never been the most noble of creatures We all know the Wellington quote about what his men were like, I bet

Since he was in Paris and then London at the time....probably gin.

Not really, the whole thing is beyond the public's and politicians control these days, its just a matter of adapting to whatever the hells happens in the end.

About the only people who really care about the EU these days are the farmers, since they get a pittance compared to the French ones. Nick Clegg does have a point - the UK will never reach a prominent position in the EU, its the pet project of France and Germany, both of whom have different social a...

4 weeks short, so even that small reward has been snatched from his grasp.

Or maybe what Britain needs is just someone like Obama?

An eerily Tony Blairesqe fellow? No thanks

I think I would have to go and kill a puppy if we had primaries over here. The whole thing just seems overblown, considering the bloody election doesn't start for bloody months.

I quite like solaris for some reason,......

Once we leave Iraq, I think the UK will dropping quite alot more troops in there as well. I get the feeling the public support that war more (but not by much more) than the one in Iraq.

Its part of the "transparent policing" that's done over here. Regular press releases and Q&A's to show what was done, when it was done, why it was done, etc.

Happy Hogswatch folks.

And VI: It's A&E and you know it

They took it, well done. But can they hold it? What's the manpower situation there at this stage? None too good last I checked. So are they leaving a garrison or are they pulling out to fight elsewhere? Garrison, mostly Afghan Army with small elements of US/UK forces staying around to help with tra...
