David, words of wisdom, truth and reality. But I agree wholeheartedly with Mark also when he states the truth of '.........., but like you say this is costing us all a fortune and we'll never see any thing back , before long petrol will be only affordable to the rich , the Tories gave us boom and bust , high crime , long waiting lists failing schools , sold all our British assets and privatised them the man on the street didn't see a penny back but are paying even more for what we once owned , not to mention the council tax and business tax that's crippling small businesses , and welcome back to high unemployment with there cutbacks , these Tories wont be happy till were a third world country where only the rich are happy !!!! We shouldn't have got involve, let alone instigated it wit the USA Aand France. Never have backed the rebels, who would have had a few scirmishes, and a good slap and everything would be back to normal. Us dealing with them for OIl and supplying arms etc. But the Chameleon,like others now have the best of both worlds, selling more arms and pinching oil. Gosh the Chameleon changes side 3 times inside 3 Months- before sitting the fence - after cuddling and ar embracing old pals act. Now 1000's of civillians will suffer and die! Don't believe the crap that is what we are trying to prevent! Like Saddam's weapons of mass distruction'. Everyone knew there weren't any. We caused in real terms 4.000.000 lives to the 1 - 200,000 Saddam supposdly killed. Do we really care for instance how the Tailisban treat their women? A darn site better than Magarbee does his people and thats for sure. - So we are LAYING gas pipes wth the armed forces protection and running the opium game for the goverments slush funds. The RAF policing says 'Is hard to stop our mates dealing a bit when we do the goverments bidding of letting in tons of The stuff for them'! Money and Power. And were called Blair for being a lacky to the USA! LOL what a laugh. Google and find out just how much we pinched from the Iragi's!!! The USA was in $trillions. Likewise us in £Billions!
-
I have the utmost respect and concern for our boys - regardless of ones beliefs as to the rights and wrongs - of course I have, and am sure nigh all of us do! Now, as I predicted, when the Chameleon wanted a 'No Fly Zone' it would quickly escalate into bombing – it didn't they bombed STRAIGHT AWAY! I said the 'Troops' would be sent in ... They are now, albeit with the excuse of helping the rebels cause and furbishing weapons and food. But of course very soon they will be in combat under an excuse like 'Protecting our boys' & 'Having every right to' etc. All in the name of, and for the greed of Oil, to lavish on the 0.06 of the nations wealthy. The masses won't see, or benefit from a drop of it. Many proud and brave lives of our boys will be lost. The family and friend won't be looked after or compensated live the 'Officers' will be straight away. Indeed hardly compensated at all. And all around the African states the conflicts will go on unheeded and ignored via the UN and us, and the French and the USA etc. Margubee will continue with his atrocities etc. and Oil prices will still be raised. Indeed more than ever!. And before the conflict the Tories were borrowing over £500,million a day - more than the labour government ever did even after balling out the fat greedy Bankers, and for a government so intent to cut back everything related to the working class, that is despicable, and again, JUST where does this money come from? And who repays it. Yes the working masses. The cheapest bombe made cost £250.000 THAT'S Each! No wonder Hip and knee replacements have been called of and no longer classed as a ‘Need’ etc. Waiting lists are escalating at an alarming rate.. The police being cut down by 40%! Hospitals closed and staff sacked etc. etc.

PRINCIPAL'S OPENING MESSAGE TO STUDENTS From: Dennis Prager, principal at a high school, on the first day of classes in 2010.* *To: The students and faculty of our high school*. I am your new principal, and honored to be so. There is no greater calling than to teach young people. I would like to apprise you of some important changes coming to our school. I am making these changes because I am convinced that most of the ideas that have dominated public education in Canada have worked against you, against your teachers, against your parents, and against our country. Therefore: First, these schools will no longer honor race or ethnicity. I could not care less if your racial makeup is black, brown, red, yellow, or white. I could not care less if your origins are African, Latin American, Asian, or European, or if your ancestors arrived here on the Mayflower or on slave ships. The only identity I care about, the only one this school will recognize, is your individual identity -- your character, your scholarship, your humanity. And the only national identity this school will care about is Canadian. This is a Canadian public school, and Canadian public schools were created to make better Canadians. If you wish to affirm an ethnic, racial, or religious identity through your school, you will have to go elsewhere. We will end all ethnicity-, race- and non-Canadian-nationality-based celebrations. They undermine the motto of Canada, and this school will be guided by Canada’s values. That includes all after-school clubs. I will not authorize clubs that divide students based on any identities. This includes race, language, religion, sexual orientation, or whatever else may become in vogue in a society divided by political correctness. Your clubs will be based on interests and passions -- not blood, ethnic, racial or other physically defined ties. Those clubs just cultivate narcissism -- an unhealthy preoccupation with the self -- while the purpose of education is to get you to think beyond yourself. So, we will have clubs that transport you to the wonders and glories of art, music, astronomy, languages you do not already speak, math, carpentry, and more. If the only extracurricular activities you can imagine being interested in are those based on ethnic or racial or sexual identity, that means that little outside of yourself really interests you. Second, I am not interested in whether or not English is your native language. My only Interest in terms of language is that you leave this school speaking and writing English as fluently as possible. The English language has united Canada 's citizens for more than 200 years, and it will unite us at this school. It is one of the indispensable reasons this country of immigrants has always come to be one country. And if you leave this school without excellent English-language skills, I will have been remiss in my duty to ensure that you are prepared to compete successfully in the Canadian job market. We will learn other languages here -- it is deplorable that most Canadians only speak English. But if you want classes taught in your native language rather than in English, this is not your school. Third, because I regard learning as a sacred endeavor, everything in this school will reflect learning's elevated status. This means, among other things, that you and your teachers will dress accordingly. Many people in our society dress more formally for a meal at a nice restaurant than they do for church or school. Those people have their’ priorities backwards. Therefore, there will be a formal dress code at this school. Fourth, no obscene language will be tolerated anywhere on this school's property -- whether in class, in the hallways or at athletic events. If you can't speak without using the "F-word," you can't speak. Y? Obscene language I mean the words banned by the Federal Communications Commission plus epithets such as the "N-word," even when used by one black student to address another, or "*expletive removed*," even when addressed by a girl to a girlfriend. It is my intent that by the time you leave this school, you will be among the few of your age to distinguish instinctively between the elevated and the degraded, the holy and the obscene. Fifth, we will end all self-esteem programs. In this school, self-esteem will be attained in only one way -- the way people attained it by earning it. One immediate consequence of this is that there will be only one class valedictorian, not eight. Sixth, and last, I am reorienting the school toward academics and away from politics and propaganda. No more time will be devoted to scaring you about smoking and caffeine, or terrifying you about sexual harassment or global warming. No more semesters will be devoted to condom-wearing and teaching you to regard sexual relations as only or primarily a health issue. There will be no more attempts to convince you that you are a victim because you are not white, or not male, or not heterosexual, or not Christian. We will have failed, if any one of you graduates from this school and does not consider himself or herself inordinately lucky -- to be alive and to be an Canadian. Now, please stand and join me in singing, OH CANADA to the only flag in Canada. As many of you do not know the words, your teachers will hand them out to you.

Think I may have posted these before... Two blondes living in Townsville were sitting on a bench talking and one blonde says to the other, "Which do You think is farther away Melbourne or the Moon?" The other blonde turns and says "Helloooooooooo, can you see *expletive removed* Melbourne.??" CAR TROUBLE A blonde pushes her BMW into a gas station telling the mechanic that it simply died. After he works on it for a few minutes, it is idling smoothly. She asks, "What's the story?" He replies, "Just sh** in the carburretor" "Ohh How often do I have to do that?"she asked SPEEDING TICKET A police officer stops a blonde for speedingand asks her very nicely if he could see her license. She replied in a huff, "I wish you people would get your act together. Just yesterday you take away my license and today you expect me to show it to you!" RIVER WALK There's this blonde out for a walk. She comes to a river and sees another blonde on the opposite bank. "Yoo-hoo!" she shouts,"How can I get to the other side?" The second blonde looks up the river then down the river and Shouts back, "You ARE on the other side." The first one says "Duh ..so I am . Sorry to have bothered you!!!" AT THE DOCTOR'S OFFICE A gorgeous young Redhead goes into the doctor's office saying that her body hurt wherever she touched it. "Impossible!" says the doctor. "Show me." The redhead took her finger, pushed on her left breast and screamed, then she pushed her elbow and screamed in even more. She pushed her knee and screamed; likewise she pushed her ankle and screamed. Everywhere she touched made her scream. The doctor said, "You're not really a Redhead, are you? "Well, no" she said, "I'm actually a blonde." "I thought so," the doctor said. "Your finger is broken" BLONDE ON THE SUN A Russian, an American, and a Blonde were talking one day. The Russian said, "We were the first in space!" The American said, "We were the first on the moon!" The Blonde said, "So what? We're going to be the first on the sun!" The Russian and the American looked at each other and shook their heads. "You can't land on the sun, you idiot! You'll burn up!" said The Russian. The Blonde replied, "We're not stupid, you know. We're going at night!" IN A VACUUM A blonde was playing Trivial Pursuit one night. It was her turn. She rolled the dice and she landed on Science & Nature. Her question was, "If you are in a vacuum and someone calls your name, can you hear it?" She thought for a time and then asked, "Is it on or off?" FINALLY, THE BLONDE JOKE TO END ALL BLONDE JOKES! A girl was visiting her blonde friend, who had acquired two new dogs, and asked her what their names were.The blonde responded by saying that one was named Rolex and one was named Timex. Her friend said, "Whoever heard of someone naming dogs like that?" "HELLLOOOOOOO......," answered the blonde. "They're watch dogs!"

Think Bilco was right ... and of course still is.

And the European before, and the wW/C before that. Shouldn't even be on the selectors list.

if you were a Canadian I guess.... Me, well I do like the scenary etc. I hop you do too. http://www.castanet.net/news/Offbeat/59025/Canadians-explained-to-Americans

I think that comment bears a lot of truth ... He's wages and pocket won't be affected and that's for sure. Might be an incentive bonus lost too, so team mates won't like losing that money too... But what the heck we've all got Ferraries ..
-
Of course no one can say United would have drawn or won with Rooney. Yet every time the camera focussed on him he was scowling and looked so mad. I believe he was... and that was part and partial of the punishment for being a spoilt brat that can't control a dirty mouth in public... Enough said on that subjected as it has been well documented and all sides stated their beliefs biases etc. However I do believe that sitting there helpless was the biggest part of his punishment. Must feel now that he DID let himself, and team mates down, but more importantly his fans! I further believe that that lesson may auger well for others. Sad side is that the TRIPLE has gone too. Think they will win just about every game now, especially the Premiership... so that may be the silver lining yet!
-
Don't let the owner know.... more grieve than it will ever be worth ... When it's gone, they will be worried enough and you will know.... far better than a confrontation.

Good Photo that! I believe that it is drinking water. As for 'Joe Soap' ever being on our side, or having an inkling of thought even to our plight, let alone 'Pigeons' That has gone by the board yonks ago and will never happen ... One comment of deceit and untruth by Ken Livingston put the final nail in the coffin with the well used 'Flying Rats' vermin etc. May get on board with song birds and such a little. But as the 'SOS' and country concerns have been banging their heads against the proverbial door, I also think that is long gone. Only hope would have been through 'Parliamentary' channels, but fear too many palms are, and would be greased ever to have a chance. Remember the RSPB are very wealthy and massive landowners in their own right. This money making machine will and will have, trodden down under feet any cause against them via mean fair - and most foul. This I believe most are assigned to and believe it will never alter. Certainly not in our life time.
-
Good post mucker, Good video and one to promote I wager. Well dome matey.
-
Jam HASN'T seen wild B.O.P. drinking water, and niether have you. The B.O.P. Brigade took the lead from the RSPB regards Invertamin.... they never used it before, and DON'T use pour on.... indeed just why would they go out the way to find and be able to get it, when Strongrig etc. etc. is readlily available. Likewise after their Blunder regards the 'Salt that they assertained would be a detterent, certainly was and is lol, so they put out popagander to fool the gullible. Hoodwinked you are, and JAM is only foddering the wishes of his RSPB and B.O.P. friends, full stop. Anyway never mind that, nor the salt etc. when we can use Rhubarb juice, and Sheep Dip so effectively, likewise toughed glass and canaries... so perhaps more now will take them on board. Mind the strange fact is that the B.O.P. and other carrion eater were nigh eradicated via using salt! Now chunter all you like, just delve into any ole timer that was a naturist etc. and ask. Likewise any good Gamekeeper of the past. End of.
-
Mark, you are fed beetroot and turned red. JAM hasn't shown me, niether did you, B.O.P. Drinking water. A tame feathered one that has to yes. And again you are fooled via the 'Wormer' they never did till it was discovered 'POUR ON' did, and does kill B.O.P. they don't use that. So instead of, once again putting downers on folks trying to do their bit, just leave them to it, for it certainly in no way affects you. Over look the proven reality, and stick to RSPB poperganda by all means, but let others acyually do something to protect their birds! Simple that.
-
This post means that they struggle with even a little salt even when DRINKING water. Regardless what you believe and show, outside of Kept B.O.P. they don't drink water. Yes may well bath or drown other birds, but don't drink it. It sends them doo lally first off as their system can't handle it. Gosh just where are we here?! It has been proven sucessful many times over and for 100's of year, yet you CHOOSE to disrepage it. Don't do it then.... wait for the magic wand. Come over to my place and find any B.O.P or S/H etc. You will find Salt and Rhubarb juice etc. most likely, but no S/H! Let alone any Percy's. Not going to indulge in this frivoulous and meaningless debate any longer. Because I know you have heard it doesn't work and as such gives one the excuse of spouting 'Shalln't help myself, and others because it is fruitile'. etc.
-
Only had three to sort, and now dusted. There was a Percy - apparently - close by fora few days... but hasn't been seen since. Only one I hear of escape this way Alan was when a S/H devoured a ring neck dove here abouts and the girl didn't think to salt it. Yes would have flown of if not disturbed by Mr Willow (Bat) and returned for meal. Mind I believe that took a liking to a canary or something like and hasn't been back.
-
Was led to believe that 'Anti Freeze' had been altered and the poisonous ingrediant had been removed. That it had been rendered useless as a poison. Now we have the RSPCA and co spouting about cats being poisoned by 'Anti Freeze'! Indeed I believe some court cases are pending! Another popergander crap scenario spouted out one minute to stop folks using it as a poison eh! Just who are gullible? Yep seems many are too easierly led!
-
Another con for the gullible that believe DON'T think INVERTAMIN KILLS B.O.P. It does and well they know it! But it has to be 'POUR ON' We use it ourselves they squirm! YES they well advertised that one and gullible wish to believe. Birds have lice etc. to keep their feathers / quills spot. Like the Belgiums DON'T rid their birds of them... most just the UK think in all honesty Just Ask Me' that you are a hawk lover! You spout out the same gabbage as the RSPB flout and don't wish to let others follow tried and tested, and PROVEN methods. Go and ask any 'Land Man' how they got shot of B.O.P. and carrion etc. Same ways as the Kites etc. 100's years earlier 'SALT' next your being trying to convince fanciers that B.O.P. are scavengers who ALSO will not pass up a chance of Carrion. Like a Cull injected strigyt afer death with 2 mill of Goldern Fleece sheep dip, and a few feather left around it's carcase -especially after a rain y spell Percy and co. won't swoop and eat, and hopefully take back to their nest. You dream on, and I won't bother to discuss these 'Proven' points. Think I, and other fanciers could be taken in by your crap and drivel - like so many choose to be by the RSPB popugander to our birds detrimental downfall. Yep I think you [probably have 'B.O.P. and are a member of the RSPB. End of.
-
Yep IN CAPTIVERTY! Full stop. Like rabbits will drink when tame / in house. BUT that is - like the Hawk that is tether TAME - FOR THEY NORMALLY get their moisture from the Grass etc. The three wonders of Nature are. A hen drinks water but doesn't pee. A rabbit doesn't drink water but pees, and a donkey craps a square turd out of a round '*expletive removed*'. B.OP. Bath in water and keep their feather etc. right, also in Dust! But if fed dry meat in captiverty they Have to take a little moisture, though - like the rabbit, and our Pendics, it is alien to them but a MUST.... but not salted. Think you wish to see the RSPB/ RSPCA retract in public and spend £0000 stating adverts like' Further to our servey regards Salted Pigeons being a detriment to B.O.P. prey, it has been ammended as this has an adverse effect on the B.O.P. so would all PIGEON lover please refrain from distroying our B.O.P. Yep that should suffice.

Without even looking or SEARCHING ... http://search.yahoo.com/search;_ylt=A0oGdSSTZqVN9CMAWi5XNyoA;_ylc=X1MDMjE0MjM1NzA4OQRfcgMyBGFvAzAEZnIDYW5zX3FwXzEEaG9zdHB2aWQDMnQ1dmwwb0dkVEJpMEFKMVRhR1dEd2xaVWgwWTZFMmxacE1BQ0NpNQRuX2dwcwMwBG5fdnBzAzAEb3JpZ2luA3NycARxdWVyeQNTYWx0IGtpbGxzIGJpcmRzBHNhbwMxBHZ0ZXN0aWQDUUkwMTg-?p=Salt+kills+birds&fr2=sb-top&fr=ans_qp_1&vdata=0%2C0%2C0%2C0

This is in regards the normal birds that DRINK water! B.O.P. DON'T, IT IS .... Birds differ greatly in their ability to cope with salty food and water. Birds such as seabirds are able to eat marine animals and drink seawater without a problem, while many songbirds can die if they take in quantities of salt. Birds have a primitive, largely reptilian type kidney which, although able to secrete some salt, is quite poor at it. The ability to process salt varies between species, but most can produce uric acid with a maximum salt concentration of about 300 mmol/litre. Amongst our garden birds, house sparrows and pigeons are some of the most salt tolerant species. The capability to secrete salt seems to be linked to habitat, particularly marine environment and drought conditions. This is nicely illustrated by the savannah sparrow. The subspecies that inhabits saltmarsh is capable of secreting 2-3 times as much salt than other subspecies that live in salt-free habitats. To compensate for the kidneys, birds posses another reptilian feature that serves specifically to excrete salt the nasal gland. Also known as the salt gland, it is located in the birds skull in the forehead. Although the nasal gland is present in all birds, it is functional only in those species that are regularly exposed to salt in their diet. The salt concentrating capability is dependent on the ecology of the species, but adaptive and, possibly, acclimative changes can occur. In birds that regularly eat a diet high in salt or drink salt solutions, the nasal glands increase in size. The only land birds with active nasal glands are some desert species such as the ostrich, and many birds of prey. Nasal glands are able to excrete salt in high concentrations about ten times as high as kidneys are able to. This enables all seabirds to eat fish, crustaceans and even plankton, and to drink seawater. In an experiment, a black-backed gull was given one tenth of its body weight (equivalent to about 7 litres or 13 pints for an adult human) of seawater. The bird eliminated the entire salt load in 3 hrs! The nasal gland is only active when it is needed to eliminate salt. It always excretes salt in high concentration, and so wastes very little water in doing so. In contrast, a kidney will need three pints of fresh water to eliminate salt from one pint of seawater. Because most garden birds are poor at coping with salty food, it is important not to offer them anything with appreciable amount of salt in it. As such, salty fats, salty rice, salted peanuts, most cured foodstuffs, chips etc should not be offered to birds. It can be difficult to eliminate salt entirely, but very small amounts of salt should not cause any problems, particularly if fresh drinking water is also available. nOW THINK ABOUT IT! If you did SEARCH you want find ample evidence!

Could say makes ice cream from the back sides! What do you think it does? Where have you looked? Well google it, search like others do etc. BUT more importantly 'Act' and do something to help your birds, other birds and the sport as an whole. This was recommended as I state by the RSPB & RSPCA JOINTLY AS A DETERRENT... It works, and obviously they don't recommend it now!, also they can't get salt out of their system. Ask a Game Keeper. etc. Or perhaps you believe in the tooth fairy with a magic wand.

I think Carlo Ancelotti is right, his future has already been decided.... He'll be back in Italy with his old club at seasons end to start his new side out over the close season. Like to see Chelsea clobber them ... But would like to see the Triple achieved again, so I'm on a winner either way. Think if pushed I'd plump for Chelsea as they haven't much left to go for.
