Premier League "Team of the Noughties" 3:49pm on 30 Dec 2009 What is with the love-in for Shay Given? There's no doubt that he's a top top keeper, but one can't help but feel he's included here on the back of the praise he's received largely this season at Man City.
I would rate Brad Friedel as a better shout for 'keeper of the Noughties.
Speaker's anger 11:23pm on 11 May 2009 @202

Is a question?
Speaker's anger 10:55pm on 11 May 2009 I'm sorry, maybe I've misunderstood.
The speaker is upset because some private details of MPs may be at risk, as a result of their abuse privilege, at taxpayers expense.
Has the speaker turned a deaf ear to the public cries against, ooooo I dunno, ID cards, for example, and the publics cries over those?
I'll tell you how this looks to me. This looks like the final failurse of British democracy. While the people are told the Government needs all their details and to compromise our civil rights for 'national security' while telling us to tighten our belts in the recession, we have a speaker of the house telling us his chief concern is the exposure of MPs private details over a matter of MPs treating taxpayer money like confetti. Is it just me, or is this the kind of hypocrisy that brings about revolutions??!
I cannot describe how incandescent with utter RAGE I am with not only our current government, but with our 'democratic' system as a whole.
Do we remember the lesson from history? Do we hell. WW2 anyone? Was it disillusionment with the status quo that allowed extremist parties to get a foothold? MPs - You better think VERY carefully about where this is going, and re-learn the lessons our arrogant species thought it had already learned from history, because I'll tell you one thing for damn sure - I'm not voting Labour or Conservative this time around.
Speed Diary: Day Five 9:40pm on 23 Feb 2009 BenjaminEllis - I don't actually see a single misuse of MBps/Mbps. If you're referring to the upload speed mentioned, I think Virgin media may actually be that slow upstream.
42-days is dead 1:49pm on 06 Oct 2008 What a strange world it is we now live in where our elected house is trying to take away our basic rights and the only people trying to stop them are the unelected, often hereditary, peers.
Strange times indeed.
Shanaze's golden gamble ends in blood and bruises 11:55am on 22 Aug 2008 "BMX seems to have provided entertainment and a spectacle - much like Monster trucks, synchronised swimming and beach volleyball (though I have a feeling that one of those may not be an olympic sport - yet). Does this make it a demonstration of the peak of athletic achievement? Don't see it myself...."

Can we assume you're also non-plussed about our country's great achievements in the velodrome? Or is that completely different because....well I suppose it must be because the ground is nice and flat.

Some people are beyind belief; not a sport, cripes, do me a favour.
Barry saga leaving a sour taste 02:52am on 05 Jul 2008 "And O'neill was the one who let the bid go public so he should stop sucking lemons and dissing LFC. Plank."

I keep hearing this line from liverpool fans, but nobody seems to be able to say exactly how this happened.
It broke in the Liverpool Echo. It's there for everyone to see, phone them up, get a back issue.
Until someone actually shows me some proof that "someone at Villa leaked it" I'll continue to go with the recognised, printed, proof.
Firefox: Can browsers make bucks? 9:34pm on 08 May 2008 "1. At 2:08 pm on 08 May 2008, Mark Williams wrote:

And there you have the very reason why I'll NOT be installing FF on any of my machines."

Because you fundamentally misunderstand the security issues that FF protects against and immediately assumed that content-sensitive history searching would somehow give your personal data to Mozilla?
Believe me when I say you have these two companies the wrong way round.
