  1. Fuck that - can he get me some cheap t-shirts and board shorts? 'for it's Tommy this, an' Tommy that, an' "chuck 'im out, the brute!" But it's "saviour of 'is country" when the guns begin to shoot.'
  2. No worries mate - I actually considered sticking a rather significant sum into Kaupthing. Thank fuck I never. Still, it wouldn't exactly surprise me to see the banks I'm with go tits up any time now - so I went and bought myself a nice new car
  3. We owe them nowt. But if you've worked hard at saving money, instead of spunking it all away using loans, daft mortgages and credit cards; well, surely the people who saved with Icelandic banks - because they were no doubt advised to - deserve more sympathy than scorn? The amount of fuckin' people up to their eyeballs in debt in this country is beyond belief!!! The personal debt of ladies and gentlemen these days is a topic worthy of discussion. 'I want, I want!' 'for it's Tommy this, an' Tommy that, an' "chuck 'im out, the brute!" But it's "saviour of 'is country" when the guns begin to shoot.'
  4. Investing and saving are completely different! 'for it's Tommy this, an' Tommy that, an' "chuck 'im out, the brute!" But it's "saviour of 'is country" when the guns begin to shoot.'
  5. I wouldn't put it down as greed - not long back, a lot of popular financial websites were listing Icelandic banks such as Kaupthing as offering the best rates, for simple savings accounts. And of course, they were good deals too...... In one sense, it could have been seen as a prudent move. I'm not talking about investing, just simply saving your hard earned money at the most competitive rate. Fortunately the FSA will cover the savers loss to an extent, and yes, the Government will cover the rest. Bugger that though - the loan they got off the Ivans should be used!

  6. Our Western 'system' is failing - almost like the Soviet 'system' failed. Simple. In a nutshell, it's through the nature of us. One important factor to the failure of the Soviet system was that it couldn't work properly unless we had a mentality similiar to ants or termites. Our Western failure is through our unrestricted greed and desires. Which also leads to an explanation why 'everything is shit these days'.
  7. Are you mental? 'for it's Tommy this, an' Tommy that, an' "chuck 'im out, the brute!" But it's "saviour of 'is country" when the guns begin to shoot.'
  8. You seem quite interested in wasting your time on 9/11 conspiracy theory at the moment. Why not have a look at studying why these theories are ridiculous, instead of foolishly believing them, and bringing to attention nonsense which has previously been shown to be nonsense. The fact you haven't actually bothered to look into these theories in depth; as you believe them, speaks volumes. Shortly I'll be PM'ing you some links which prove the Moon is made of cheese.... it's followed with a 'convincing' YouTube video too...

  9. Further related articles such as this one, released a couple of days later, only increase my 'interest'. Not just on the face value of the subject matter, but what's also apparently being said between the lines and leaks. 'for it's Tommy this, an' Tommy that, an' "chuck 'im out, the brute!" But it's "saviour of 'is country" when the guns begin to shoot.'
  10. Would you expand a lil' on that argument? Who's making it? And how do the proponents suggest that removing NATO troops (ISAF) will have the effect you described? Do they suggest removing the PRTs & HTTs as well? Thanks. VR/Marg Here you go Marg: A link to whom I meant regarding the context, and a further one too. edit: A paragraph from one of the articles: 'According to Mr Fitou, Sir Sherard told him on September 2 that the Nato-led military operation was making things worse. “The foreign forces are ensuring the survival of a regime which would collapse without them . . . They are slowing down and complicating an eventual exit from the crisis, which will probably be dramatic,” the Ambassador was quoted as saying.' A paragraph from the other article: 'We will probably never know the real version of the conversation that took place early last month between him and Francois Fitou, the French charge d'affaires in Kabul, who wrote the diplomatic cable published by the Canard Enchaine. Some quotes attributed to Sir Sherard may have been "exaggerated", as the FCO insists, and others, like the call for a dictator to take over in Kabul or that more Nato troops may be counter-productive, may have been completely untrue.'

  11. Listen to this for a bit: http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=UWtHWMVp5G4
  12. I hear ya buddy - see yer at St Georges Caye, Belize. I'll be the bronzed SCUBA instructor! 'for it's Tommy this, an' Tommy that, an' "chuck 'im out, the brute!" But it's "saviour of 'is country" when the guns begin to shoot.'
  13. At the airport about 11months ago my Mrs wasn't. The pokey finger came out! 'Just get yer make up into the bag woman, FFS!' 'for it's Tommy this, an' Tommy that, an' "chuck 'im out, the brute!" But it's "saviour of 'is country" when the guns begin to shoot.'
  14. Doesn't matter mate. How much yer after? Pay'us back when yer can. edit: The headline did make me laugh though; 'California, Short of Cash, May Ask U.S. for Loan'. Last time I laughed that much was recently when I had a fright sat in an airport bar having a drink. A Muslim ran in, saying; 'AllahAllahAllahAllahA'll have a coke and a packet of nuts!' Stuttering dickhead. 'for it's Tommy this, an' Tommy that, an' "chuck 'im out, the brute!" But it's "saviour of 'is country" when the guns begin to shoot.'
  15. Ok - apart from Amazon 'for it's Tommy this, an' Tommy that, an' "chuck 'im out, the brute!" But it's "saviour of 'is country" when the guns begin to shoot.'
  16. John, nobody is making fun at you mate. They're just pointing out where they believe you're wrong. You made 5 points. They're wrong. Perhaps I shouldn't be so idle and explain to you why I believe them to be wrong. I won't; 'cos I reckon if I do, you'll pay these responses no regard, and spend your efforts defending your incorrect original statements. It'll end up like a Kallend/Rushmc gangfuck - so sod that.

  18. And Obama and Biden want the U.S. to pull out and let these animals rule again. Certain influential people believe that pulling ISAF out would quicken the demise of the Taliban...

  19. I've understood the main danger from spent DU munitions to be from the 'dust' produced from the disintegration of the munition shortly after impact. Further to that, the danger would therefore be temporary, until the 'dust' spread throughout the nearby atmosphere. Still, there's food for thought... Essentially, if you were of the dubious inclination to have your photo taken on top of a destroyed T-55 clutching an AK like a dickhead, the DU issue was still something to consider. On a 'health check' in around 2004 an 'issue' was noticed. The Doctor asked if I might have been exposed to DU....... Who knows? I reckon I have, like hundreds of thousands of others, to an unknown extent. I'd like to know exactly what this extent might be! 'for it's Tommy this, an' Tommy that, an' "chuck 'im out, the brute!"

  21. Again, I've been reading through another boring Obama thread and stumbled across an interesting post. If I'd the notion, I'd get some links to similiar. Essentially, what interests me is people who have perceptions about the guy that you describe. I've come across people with such descriptions over here in the UK too. The most extreme describe him as the Anti-Christ which I find ridiculous, but also funny in a black kind of way - no pun intended - because of this bleak enigmatic aura which seems to surround the man. It isn't comparable to people throughout planet earth worrying over the suitability of George Bush when he became President. That was far more on the surface. This perception of Obama seems more abstruse, yet it's maybe more widespread than most people think. What I find interesting is the reasoning for these perceptions; I somehow can't put it down to whatever negative press report people heard or read. Simplistically, maybe the dudes just a creepy fucker. 'for it's Tommy this, an' Tommy that, an' "chuck 'im out, the brute!" But it's "saviour of 'is country" when the guns begin to shoot.'
  22. About 50kts mate; but that's with a low AUM, low temps and DA. I'm still working on compressability and RBS issues. Max AOB is around 2.5 degrees. Anything past 3 degrees without considerable back pressure and the VSI goes through the scale!! And I think I've gone and utterly hijacked another thread - sorry Marg!
  23. True - but was there ever anything as bad as this before? I've decided on simple and market leading fixed rate, with instant access, savings accounts. I'm playing it safe for the time being...

  24. Well, seeing as the saving rates aren't exactly great over here, I thought fuck it, and splashed out on this bad boy: 'for it's Tommy this, an' Tommy that, an' "chuck 'im out, the brute!" But it's "saviour of 'is country" when the guns begin to shoot.'
