A generally hotter planet means more than just hot summers and mild winters though, it means different extremes of too much/too little rainfall thanks to increased evaporation and more things like hurricanes.

Home: Usually The Bodega. Away, depends if the polis force you into an "away" pub. At Villa usually the Cap and Gown but we filled that up last time so we went and took over a villa pub. You could tell it was villa cos it was painted sky blue

We might be able to grow olives and oranges. If we're ever not either a) Flooded or b) In the middle of a drought. Sure I read an article asking this very question a while ago and it did point out quite a few positives.

Never really noticed the congestion after Villa matches, but that's cos we're usually leaping up and down and singing in a sky-blue and claret pub that we've taken over

nufc.com now reckon Deco's on his way for a medical. They're usually reliable, but I wont count my chickens. It's been mentioned in the past that Barca would get rid of Deco to make room for Lampard, so it could indicate they feel they're going to get Frank the Lamp.

Apparently we've been offered Deco and enquired about Eto'o while over discussing getting Gudjohnsen from Barca. Deco's a vague possibility but I think Mike and Fred have been sampling the local wine a bit much asking after Eto'o

I find it strange that Margaret Hill, the 3 year old British girl who's being held captive in Nigeria by gunmen who have threatened to kill her isn't getting 0.0001% of the media attention the Madeline McCann case did, even though it was generally accepted Madeline was probably dead while this little girl is undoubtaly alive and in need of saving from being murdered. Ah, hang on - just seen a photo of her parents. No chance of blonde hair and big blue eyes then. Carry on.

That's a completely different issue to having a bounding box and a non-fixed reticule though. You point left, the camera and the fixed crosshair go left the same amount. You return to the centre, it stops. How difficult is that? Why do we have to have the same wonky console aiming with the wii-mote as we do for poor dual-analogue FPS games?

If Man U get Tevez then they're going to simply destroy the league next season. Guess we know why they lost to West Ham now, as part of the deal.

But why is this not feasible?

Hamas took over in Gaza a few weeks ago, which leftSrmy of Islam, the group that had him, shitting themselves. Hamas made it a top priority because they see journalists as "guests" and also important in showing the outside wolrd what conditions are like in Gaza. The group who had him however are nutters even when compared to the likes of Hamas and reckon all non-muslims are deserving of punishment. They were demanding the release of some prisoners which was never going to happen. Hmas started rounding up members of the group holding him and threatening military action to release him (Although they agreed not to launch an attack on the advice of the British government in case he was killed) Also, of course, Hamas come out of this well because they've worked so hard at getting him released, which has meant the western powers who have been refusing to talk to them have had to extend their thanks. The politics aside. really, really excellent news. He already had his ticket home when he was captured, his time there was due to end anyway.

Very crap pun, considering you mean liverpool are in the black.

Torres could be good signing. He's no David Villa like, but should net about 20 if he stays fit. £26m is a lot like but hey, if you can afford it. I'm told we've put an offer in for Wayne Bridge and we're awaiting an response.

OK, I was ten years older than a lot of you were at the time (Actually I still am, come to think of it) and I think there's a bit of re-writing of history going on here (Which isn't surprising seeing as people are absorbing a slick presentation about how great she was and how everyone loved her). Diana did not become this saint/angel figure until after she died. Personally I didn't particularly like her. I thought she was attention seeking and manipulative and was very capable of playing the victim to get what she wanted (she her hamming it up on the "Doe eyed special" on Panorama.) Also, I thought it was a bit hypocritical that Prince Charles was getting stick for shagging horseface when Diana was leaping fanny-first onto anyone in a pair of jodhpurs. Now I wasn't a lone voice in this, there was no universal adulation of her from anywhere. Never the less, when I heard she'd died I thought it was sad - for William and Harry more than anything else. What developed over the coming days and weeks was something else though. The public grief bandwagon was at full speed any everyone wanted a piece. Newspapers who'd been jibing her with cartoons a few days ago were having a competition to see who could keep their logo black for longest and who can have the pull-out-and-keep poster section with the most pages. People who previously hadn't given Diana a second thought were going on like they'd lost their whole family. One bloke actually said "I didn't cry when my wife died but I'm crying now". You think the whole Maddy thing is a bit distasteful (had the misfortune of coming across this the other day), trust me, it's got nothing on Diana. Suddenly a woman who'd married some guy much older than her, with whom she had nothing in common with to get into royalty, then surprisingly found out she wasn't too keen about the marriage, someone who did a bit of charity work and most people could take or leave, was an angel sent down from heaven to heal the lepers and feed the poor.

Was well fucked off when that cow popped her clogs, was just about to set off to a match again Liverpool and the bastards cancelled it.

£1.60 more than my local, so yeah.

Well what's the difference in Muslims saying about things when when translated and presented on their own seem to promote the slaughtering of unbelievers "Oh, well you're not supposed to do that any more, that bit doesn't count nowadays" or whatever? Anyway, someone must be getting a right bollocking from Mujhadeen Command at the moment, getting a parking ticket on your car bomb and having it towed away, did they send the Muslim version of Mr Bean?

God's got much better PR people though, look at how him massacring thousands upon thousands of people, innocents and sinners alike, with a holy flood got turned into a cute children's story about animals and rainbows.

I thought you said context aside.

Maybe they were militant William Blake fans, hell bent on fulfilling the prophecies foretold in the scriptures?

Well the Bible's not over friendly to the non-believers and people who are deemed to have 'insulted' the religion “He who blasphemes the name of the Lord shall be put to death; all the congregation shall stone him; the sojourner as well as the native, when he blasphemes the Name, shall be put to death.” (Lev. 24:16) Ouch.

"Too Early" to point the finger at Al Quaeda http://www.theglobeandmail.com/servlet/story/RTGAM.20070629.wbombplot0629/BNStory/Front Like I say, sounds less like an internationally organised attack and more like a 'self-starter' AKA random dumbass who fancies himself as a martyr.

I believe that was pretty much the ideology of outlawed loyalist paramilitary groups like the UDF and the Red Hand Defenders, and indeed the 'justification' of at least some of the factions blowing shizzle up outside rival factions mosques over in eye-rack. Indeed the US are supplying some militant groups in Iraq with funds and weapons in the hope that they're the 'good' terrorists. Can't see that backfring at all.
