Welcome to TC, whereabouts are you

...or you could try the flash ad's on the front page....

...so read the Telegraph and be the font of all knowledge.... B*****ks, the Telegraph is as biased as any other tabloid or broadsheet whatever you want to read, it's all about perspective. Do you really want some perspective: Baby P, Shannon Matthews and countless other poor little beggars who haven't had the chance at life because some psychopaths have decided to use/abuse them for their own purposes. I sit back and watch these things happen and it breaks my heart. I can't open the original link Boofont posted because I can't handle it. 18 years ago my new born son died, 18 months later his newborn sister followed suit, my wife risked her life so we could have a child and these *******s treat kids like playthings, to act out their horror film fantacies, their paedo dreams. They can't be harmed, they have their rights. They have rights to a comfortable prison sentence, they have the right to earn money in prison and shout for compensation if something doesn't suit, they have the right to do whatever they please, that's why it keeps happening, that's why we sit and watch the PC Brigade in Haringey protect their jobs why the Muslim doctor can't be touched by the BMC and why Sharon Shoestring will get a half million handshake to be the fall guy in all this so they are seen to be doing something more than an apology. There's some perspective, there's what our socially just nation does for you

Couldn't have put it better myself.......B*******...... how much does it cost the tax payer to keep one of these scumbags for a year??? As for the Haringey Social Services mob, maybe they should join them ...but eventually, with the right lubrication, they'll fit right in

oooerrrr Must be more to this Endurocross than I thought......

No the Scottish National Liberation Army, we take drills to Hadrians Wall every weekend and drill holes for dynamite.. one of these weekends we're going to blow England into France....FFS Dabster get a grip. It's an article I read which fits with this thread and the way it's developed, it's an effective piece of journalism. If you want to instantly find fault with everything people write Andy would be as well shutting the forums now. My personal views actually differ somewhat from what's there, but they are my views, I think democracy says I'm still allowed a few of them.

Interesting....... Allah or the Lord Jesus Christ? The Muslim religion is the fastest growing religion in the UK . Last month I attended my annual training session that's required for maintaining my prison security clearance. During the training session there was a presentation by three speakers representing the Roman Catholic, Protestant and Muslim faiths, who explained each of their beliefs. I was particularly interested in what the Islamic Imam had to say. The Imam gave a great presentation of the basics of Islam, complete with a video. After the presentations, time was provided for questions and answers. When it was my turn, I directed my question to the Imam and asked: 'Please, correct me if I'm wrong, but I understand that most Imams and clerics of Islam have declared a holy jihad [Holy war] against the infidels of the world and, that by killing an infidel, (which is a command to all Muslims) they are assured of a place in heaven. If that's the case, can you give me the definition of an infidel?' There was no disagreement with my statements and, without hesitation, he replied, 'Non-believers! ' I responded, 'So, let me make sure I have this straight. All followers of Allah have been commanded to kill everyone who is not of your faith so they can have a place in heaven. Is that correct?' The expression on his face changed. 'Yes.' I then stated, 'Well, sir, I have a real problem trying to imagine Pope Benedict commanding all Catholics to kill those of your faith or Dr. Stanley ordering all Protestants to do the same in order to guarantee them a place in heaven!' I continued, 'I also have a problem with being your 'friend' when you and your brother clerics are telling your followers to kill me! Let me ask you a question. Would you rather have your Allah, who tells you to kill me in order for you to go to heaven, or my Jesus who tells me to love you because I am going to heaven and He wants you to be there with me?' You could have heard a pin drop. Needless to say, the organizers and/or promoters of the 'Diversification' training seminar were not happy with Rick's way of dealing with the Islamic Imam and exposing the truth about the Muslims' beliefs. In twenty years there will be enough Muslim voters in the U.K. To elect a government of their choice, complete with Sharia Law I think everyone in the U.K. should be required to read this, but with the Liberal justice system, liberal media and the political correctness madness, there is no way this will be widely publicised.

Come on then Heath...Hurry up, you must have had a beer by now....

This thread sounds more and more like a sercret doping thread.......are you lot ON acid????

PM on way

Ice Hockey...do tell...

As long as it doesn't give you the willies.....but that's another thread.. I don't want to poke my nose into the debate between Bikespace and Brian R but I think one comment that has been missed regarding the differences in religion in the US and the UK. Religion doesn't have the same media presence over here that it has in the US and that's a big factor, there is a "god" channel which I've seen on sky why flicking through for something to watch, it was worse than my two granny's put together. Their biggest regret had to be that I never went into religion, they thought that was the perfect career for me....my Sundays are for something else. I'm afraid my views on religion would probably be described as heretic at best, a few hundred years ago I'd have been on the short list for the red hot pokers. I've always viewed religion as a way that the church could scare the $h!t out of people and that's true from the earliest days of the church or whatever denomination you happen to follow and when you look back through the annals of history most religions have had some rather dodgy rituals that would scare people into doing anything. The inquistion was a good one the inquisitors couldn't draw blood but barbecueing a few hundred heretics was perfectly acceptable, ritual murders in certain Jewish sects, the Christian crusades you name it every denomination has something it should be a little concerned about. The muslim fundamentalists have the right idea though, they seem happy to blow themselves up to achieve their aims. This fear that the religious leaders held over the populus was purely a way of creating power and wealth and that still stands true today when you see some of these evangelical ministers in the US talk. We'll bring down the wrath of god on your head unless you donate $500 to the cause....so they can go and boff their half dozen mistresses after the show all in the name of the Church. Power, wealth and hypocrasy!! I guess, back to the Bikespace/BrianR discussion, that the respective views of religion in the US and the UK can never be reconciled because like our cultures they are very diverse and the media has had a huge role in that over the last 75 years. Everyone is entitled to their own views...we should remember that. Getting too serious this discussion so.........some gags ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ A minister parked his car in a no-parking zone in a large city because he was short of time and couldn't find a space with a meter. Then he put a note under the windshield wiper that read: 'I have circled the block 10 times. If I don't park here, I'll miss my appointment. Forgive us our trespasses.' When he returned, he found a citation from a police officer along with this note 'I've circled this block for 10 years. If I don't give you a ticket I'll lose my job. Lead us not into temptation.' --------------------------------- Sunday after church, a Mom asked her very young daughter what the lesson was about. The daughter answered, 'Don't be scared, you'll get your quilt.' Needless to say, the Mom was perplexed. Later in the day, the pastor stopped by for tea and the Mom asked him what that morning's Sunday school lesson was about. He said 'Be not afraid, thy comforter is coming.' ------------------------------------ The minister was preoccupied with thoughts of how he was going to ask the congregation to come up with more money than they were expecting for repairs to the church building. Therefore, he was annoyed to find that the regular organist was sick and a substitute had been brought in at the last minute. The substitute wanted to know what to play. 'Here's a copy of the service,' he said impatiently. 'But, you'll have to think of something to play after I make the announcement about the finances.' During the service, the minister paused and said, 'Brothers and Sisters, we are in great difficulty; the roof repairs cost twice as much as we expected and we need $4,000 more. Any of you who can pledge $100 or more, please stand up.' At that moment, the substitute organist played 'The Star Spangled Banner.' And that is how the substitute became the regular organist!

Half of me is tempted to pull this but I'm too interested in the answers....only you could come up with this matey..

The Soldier and the Nun A soldier ran up to a nun. Out of breath he asked, 'Please, may I hide under your skirt. I'll explain later.' The nun agreed. A moment later two Military Police ran up and asked, Sister, have you seen a soldier?' The nun replied, 'He went that way.' After the MP's ran off, the soldier crawled out from under her skirt and said, 'I can't thank you enough Sister. You see, I don't want to go to Iraq .' The nun said, 'I understand completely.' The soldier added, 'I hope I'm not rude, but you have a great pair of legs!' The nun replied, 'If you had looked a little higher, you would have seen a great pair of balls....I don't want to go to Iraq either'

Found these quite funny I think this a quote from Winston Churchill, I may be wrong "If you're not a liberal when you're young, you have no heart; if you're not a conservative when you're old, you have no mind." Here's some more political quotes which are quite funny.... The word 'politics' is derived from the word 'poly', meaning 'many', and the word 'ticks', meaning 'blood sucking parasites'. ... John Kenneth Galbraith (1908 - 2006) Most people assume the fights are going to be the left versus the right, but it always is the reasonable versus the jerks. .... Jimmy Wales, Keynote Speech, SXSW 2006 Politics is the art of looking for trouble, finding it whether it exists or not, diagnosing it incorrectly, and applying the wrong remedy. .... Earnest Benn Politics, n. Strife of interests masquerading as a contest of principles. .... Ambrose Bierce (1842 - 1914), The Devil's Dictionary Politics is perhaps the only profession for which no preparation is thought necessary. ... Robert Louis Stevenson (1850 - 1894) Politics is supposed to be the second oldest profession. I have come to realize that it bears a very close resemblance to the first.... Ronald Reagan (1911 - 2004)

Alpinestars are pretty adjustable and go to a good width. Get a pair of sealskins as well cos they leak like a sieve but they are the comfiest boots I've ever worn. DON'T BUY WHITE ONES...

What about the Beta Rev 4T??

If I hadn't seen the Italian headings...I'd have thought Mr Fracy had been up to no good Looks like fun to me

Just a coincidence but..... Clicky All the talk about religion as well!!

In Jerusalem, a female journalist heard about an very old Jewish man who had been going to the Wailing Wall to pray, twice a day, everyday, for 60 years.. So she went to check it out. She went to the Wailing Wall and there he was! She watched him pray and after about 45 minutes, when he turned to leave, she approached him for an interview. "I'm Rebecca Smith from CNN. Sir, how long have you been coming to the Wailing Wall and praying?" "For about 60 years." "60 years! That's amazing! What do you pray for?" "I pray for peace between all the Christians, Jews and Muslims. I pray for all the hatred to stop and I pray for all our children to grow up in safety and friendship." "How do you feel after doing this for 60 years?" "Like I'm talking to an effing brick wall!"

Atom established that already...Doug not included, you have to be a real superstar to get away with white alpinestars

Beat me to it..... I too wear Alpinestars however when I ordered them I did steer clear of the white... I quote Mrs Slapshot "FFS don't get the white they'll make you look like a poof"..... Years ago my old man bought white Gaerne's (they even sound right) same treatment Evidence is building up

White Alpinestars....nuff said......post pic when I get home unless you have one handy Andy

Stick in 70.....that 1.6 won't make difference, save yourself some hassle

Ghosts, God and now UFO's...pulling out all the non-believer stuff here. Ghosts - Someone disprove it, there's no rational explanation of why things "happen" so until someone can disprove it..... UFO's - we've done this one before (bits of it below). Statistically we can't be the only lifeforms ever to have successfully colonised a planet therefore I firmly believe there are other beings out there. If you don't believe look at the stats...... Link to whole thread...Clicky God - thought we banned religon ..... As has been said it's about faith whether you believe or not. As a kid of my generation, you had the religion thing beat into you predominantly by Grandparents. If you have the ability to think and use your imagination, you question everything. What little faith I had left by the time I reached my twenties was taken away for other reasons, I'm not going to go into. These days I find Priests/Ministers/Rabbi's/Imams (just to cover all the bases) etc at best sanctimonious at worst....well think how many wars have started with religion as their source. God, ghosts and reincarnation: well there's maybe something in them, I'll wait for the proof UFO's are different: - If you can't believe the science or the stats then start a creationist thread, the world was put here in the year 4004BC with all the geology in place for people to just trip over.....
