Why does the Radio' crackle? Because of interference. But there wouldn't be any interference if transmitting from the moon to earth, so would be crystal clear. Futher Geo1234 how come - with no moon let alone a Sun do these fellows have two even three shadows at the same time? Could it be the staging Lights? Of course! There is far far more reasons for doubting the landing against NOT even one shread of Proof for it!

Landed on the moon? May I ask you why a rocket needs a Launching station etc.?

I knew it was reported and confirmed 5 years ago that Osama bin Laden died of kidney failure soon after the September 11, 2001, attacks. In 2002, Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf said bin Laden had kidney disease, and that he had required a dialysis machine when he lived in Afghanistan. That same year, the FBI’s top counterterrorism official, Dale Watson, said, “I personally think he is probably not with us anymore.†http://www.prisonplanet.com/osama-bin-laden-has-been-dead-for-years.html http://www.infowars.com/red-alert-government-had-osama-bin-laden-frozen-for-years/ http://blackhistory.com/cgi-bin/blog.cgi?blog_id=204421&cid=10 and one of thousands. http://www.google.co.uk/#hl=en&xhr=t&q=Bin+Laden+died+natureal+causes&cp=30&pf=p&sclient=psy&rlz=1R2GPCK_en&source=hp&aq=f&aqi=&aql=&oq=Bin+Laden+died+natureal+causes&pbx=1&fp=7ef981bdeac04a96 But it does means now that the President of the USA from poor polls is riding high again. They will believe - like us following suit - ANYTHING fed them! No wonder the body was supposdly thrown overboard to sea.... Bet his family, that are constantly in touch and in the USA sell arms would have been pleased! The Bush - father was with the family doing and 'Arms Deal' with the Laden family when the Tower was struck... Made $27,000,000 in the next half hour.

I'm sure he has sold out mate.

I agree ... And that's because he is a cheat! He was banned when no tournements of any value were about! Then allowed to play 'Exibitions' etc. as it was his living. A joke, a sad one granted, but he's a £million + man, and got nothing in regards punishment in reality for cheating and swindle the odds. Gosh Alex Higgins got far more for having a drink! And for tell a bloke to pee of! And for Ungentleman conduct! He would have been banned for life I reckon and NEVER allowed to play in any tournement for a very long time .... IF EVER!

I think the expierence told again here. No substitute for it. Both real class of course. Will Judd be another great, like White, never to win a World title. Feel he has a little more coerence with safty, than either the Great Alex and Jimmy White, so think that may well stand him in good stead. Like the commentated stated, 'He'd never seen a btter potter on the ball' than Judd.... and there have been some great at that too. Wish Judd all the best and every sucess. The game, like all sports etc. need the likes of these. Will pick the game up again I'd wager. Like the Ali's, bests, Milburn, Senner and the GREAT Alex Higgins who picked it up from the doldrums before, no two ways about that. Yes White also inflamed the game too... But Alex picked it up from by the scruff of the neck and put it back on the map! JMO

Arrived this morning too! Along side the MNFC. one also.

Over a million lining the streets! Street parties and nigh ALL clubs and pubs having something on for the day. Plus most were full and celebrating here abouts, and from the 'News' and paper reports likewise nationwide, so I think that that shows / proves the vast majority were interested in one way or another... and not just an excuse for a Pee up, as the regulars would be out anyway. JMO.

Good on er George.

Snap Kirky. Same lib South Rd. and a come back race on the North. Was toying with the idea, and handling the birds this afternoon - like everyone else I want them to be racing and going - then saw the trees bending a mite and cold gusts... thought it will be a darn site worse tomorrow, so they are staying put. Misses says to me 'Weer we have to go out in all weather, come rain or shine, snow and what not'! I said 'Agree most do ... you don't, but many do ...' then added 'Then we hear the moans and groans and whinges because you have the sniffles or colds, or flu and curse going out'! lol. Now having just reread this post I think 'Whatever processed me to even consider sending in the first place.... I'd be better of buying a pkt of Kellogs and cutting me own cards out, with the money I have saved by not sending lol

Well Strapper, I see they had your Anthem too... But the reality is most are actually interested. Was suprised just how many were tuned into it this morning/. Could here it from nigh every house hold. Best thing is that - outside of the scavengers and parasites we fork out for - It is a very properous and well paying thing the 'Royal Institute'. It brings £Billins into our coffers every year.... far out wieghing the cost to keep them. Though personally I think only the direct family should be funded. I see pPrince Charlie pays his taxes, and income tax too. So he in real terms pays for himself. Will be a good King too, no doubt about that. Though I must say it is only the 'Anti's' that voice an opinion, the vast majority are silently happy with things as they are. Beside I can go out and clean the birds, or take them for a chuck, or even turn the flipping tele off if I so wish to!

Exactly. will be plenty of 'Testers' with Lerwick - hardest race barr none in the UK - and Pau Tarbes as such. So to send a bird just to race is, and has been the downfall of so many. Sending birds not aclimatised and conditioned enough. Mine are still on youngsters, for instance. Why would I wish to cause stress and give them a hard time for nothing. Ok, if youngster were away in January, and in a heated loft to bring on condition, there maybe fora race of Merit I would send a few to keep in the averages. Yes have a few hens sitting a week old youngsters, and cocks driving to a Big youngster, so they could, nd would most likely perform well with creedance. But as I'm already out of the averages, and have other races in mind, I don't think I will send for nothing. South roaders would be facing a stiff to strong side wind, a cold bugger at that, and the North roaders would be far better suited from a side wind to one from behind, so if I go, it would be North.

Well I'm 100% for the birds not being molly coddled. Likewise birds that are test on long and hard races are the ones that are the Building bricks, corner stones and foundations of every successful racing loft. That is regardless whether one wants the sprints, or Middle or distance team.... ALL come via these birds via means of testing! But that is a far cry from needlessly testing birds in conditions that are very uncomfortable and often with proven disastrous results. There will be very many testing and hard distance races coming each season to test their' mettle, to earn a perch, even a nest box. These birds that are not molly coddled, but given sensible races in realistic weather flown when they are in great condition. The weather has been slightly better thus far this season, but nowhere near enough sun on their backs to get them into top condition. Let alone to come through cold East winds without having a knock on effect. Yes of course they will home! Nothing more, and certainly won't 'Race'. So why would I, or any one else wish to needlessly chance their arm for a bit of cardboard and a pat on the back? Especially when 99% of the decent and best races to win are a while away yet. If I was interested in 'Averages' etc. then I might send a older pair or so ... But if I have a pair that I think will do me honour this week - end, then I reason that they will be all the better not going and doing me honour in a race bearing more credit. I personally never fly the first race or too so I am never tempted to chance good birds to win averages... Distance and Scottish averages! Now your talking and worth while, but of course they weather and hours of daylight deem it would be fool hardy to race these prestige races now... especially in cold strong East winds! JMO.

It's as true today as it has always been 'When there's wind in the East, it's no good for man or Beast'. The ole timers, and the smart ones I'd wager today, just send ole hen's or cocks to keep them in the averages etc. Yearlings hate it. Many a good birds are lost in training in East winds, let alone racing (Yearlings!)... JMO and others expierences. Will I send this week? ... Well I haven't trained them this week, but may send a couple of pairs. They are coming into 'Loft Fitness' and will be looking at Dunbar shortly in the NRCC. Will decide on Friday.

I think there will be at least 5 goals scored. Possibly 3-2 to Bacelona. But think strangely enough I believe it will be Real in the final. JMO.

Nor me yet. Usually is a darn bit later on.

Won't know till about the Tuesday / Wednesday NEXT WEEK if it's early... YES! the week after. An absolute disgrace how it is habitually late. It's a good job I'm not after birds / goods etc. in a hurry etc. Indeed I think I will knock it on the head. Have a feeling that they are trying to get everyone to order direct... Won't do that either as I like to support my local store, who go out their way to be obliging.... It's a pity the BHW isn't so obliging... indeed a disgrace. JMO . Phew the steam is still hissing lol.

Remember a while back when this 'Derby' was so violent that some from Corby - Mini Scotland used to go down just to watch the fighting. Was a time when any Coach seen with the opposing fans on was severely battered. Can't say that it was my cup of tea though. Indeed it was the violence that stopped me, and Millions of others going to the matches in the early seventies. Now is the time to - Like Norwich V Ipswich that ANY violence meant both sides lost 6 points. Ok that would leave the door open when a side wasn't doing so well as their neighbours to delibrately start bother. BUT then 12 points away from a side lanquishing, or only mid table would have to be careful of relegation. Now as for the Celtic V rangers games, a lot more points to be lost would / could certainly mean St. Johnson , hearts etc. having a good chance of winning the league. Now that would shut them up... outside a few brainless morons and cretins...

Just emptied me pockets ... better raid my piggy bank then lol

What's Michael MacIntyre real name, and who was his father?

Thought it was a waste of time and effort to have a manager for the 2 year span in the first place. Diplomacy is fine.... but we do need a leader and one ready to stand up and 'BE' for the sport... those paying his wages.

Keep this in mind the next time you are about to repeat a rumour or spread gossip. In ancient Greece (469 - 399 BC), Socrates was widely lauded for his wisdom. One day an acquaintance ran up to him excitedly and said, "Socrates, do you know what I just heard about Diogenes?" "Wait a moment," Socrates replied, "Before you tell me I'd like you to pass a little test. It's called the Triple Filter Test." 'Triple filter?" asked the acquaintance. "That's right," Socrates continued, "Before you talk to me about Diogenes let's take a moment to filter what you're going to say. The first filter is Truth. Have you made absolutely sure that what you are about to tell me is true?" "No," the man said, "Actually I just heard about it." "All right," said Socrates, "So you don't really know if it’s true or not. Now let's try the second filter, the filter of Goodness. Is what you are about to tell me about Diogenes something good?" "No, on the contrary..." "So," Socrates continued, "You want to tell me something about Diogenes that may be bad, even though you're not certain it's true?" The man shrugged, a little embarrassed. Socrates continued, "You may still pass the test though, because there is a third filter, the filter of Usefulness. Is what you want to tell me about Diogenes going to be useful to me?" "No, not really." "Well," concluded Socrates, "If what you want to tell me is neither True nor Good nor even useful, why tell it to me or anyone at all?" The man was bewildered and ashamed. This is an example of why Socrates was a great philosopher and held in such high esteem. It also explains why Socrates never found out that Diogenes was shagging his wife

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.
