  1. Could always adopt the bill hicks stance. 'I was in the unfortunate position of being for the war but against the troops. I just didn't like those young people.
  2. Like of UKIP always gather support in hard times because they are easy for those looking for a scapegoat for their problems to get behind. Personally i reckon Farage is gonna give up in a couple of years. As UKIP gets more popular the press put a bit more effort in and are discovering the dithering old fools and borderline national front young muppets that form a fairly big chunk of their team and old Nigel is getting sick and tired of them fucking with his grand vision

  4. The system seems to be set up for failure For a starters the first past the post system where you need 50% of the seats not 51% of the vote to take charge. A system that has created 'safe seats' for the big two which no matter how shit those 2 parties are they will get back in 99% of the time. At the same time there are seats which are one or the other so the muppets in the constituency will change sides depending on how the last government did - Blair & Thatcher Legacies mean nothing to them. Then of course the fact that as soon as a party gains power they are appear to be concentrating more on working out ways to make sure they stay in power rather than actually trying to carry out their election promises. Anything bold or inventive in their manifestos is chucked out the window so nothing ever really changes. Like it or not the UK has a 2 party system just like the Yanks do. The only difference is at least the likes of Obama only get a maximum of 8 years in charge - 4 years to pander and play safe to make sure they get re-elected and then 4 years really pushing all the inventive, bold and in some cases controversial stuff without the pressure of working our your next election campaign. If we are to stick with the FPTP system then it really needs a rule that a Prime-minister only gets max. 2 terms in charge. Perhaps we might see some improvement. Personally I want to see Proportional Representation. but thanks to the propaganda campaigns and poor understanding of voting structures in the UK Public that will never ever happen.
  5. Ah yes For some reason that link started the clip midway through on my machine
  6. Did you post the wrong clip? All is red cards being dished out
  7. aaah they have clearly been cleaning out the old documents and come across the sketches and pipe dreams from 2003
  8. wow A whole 9 days notice. Sure the Partick fans who booked trains, coaches etc are loving that
  9. If so then good for him and I hope it all works out.Feel there is a bit too much schadenfreude going on here
  10. Because he scored the winning goal last week? In/ Oot: oot Prematcher: 5s (hopefully) then work Match: Work Post Matcher: Braehead Clan Vs Belfast Giants Prediction: 1-0 Dons (Zola)
  11. Just watching the highlights again Did Langfield bring down David Goodwillie right after he saved 'their big chance'? No one claimed for it but just looks a little bit dodgy.
  12. Anyone seen that inverness goal that was disallowed? For me I'm with the officials on that one. I certainly wouldnt class that corner as taken but im fairly sure its something Man U (or some other premiership team) tried and perhaps got away with a few seasons back.
  13. World Cup Playoffs France Vs Ukraine Portugal Vs Sweden Croatia vs Iceland Greece vs Romania Predictions? Reckon it will be France, Sweden, Croatia (sadly) and Greece heading to Rio
