Why don't we strategically strike other targets that are harming their civilians??? Mainly because a strategic strike would be the start of WWIII as that’s using a nuke. But why we don’t tactically strike other regimes harming their people, I don’t know. But I believe that if a state can’t sensibly...

So you are happy at how things ended up in Iraq and Libya then? Both had leaders who killed their own people in a ruthless manner, Firstly Iraq was different, it was war and we didn’t have the right game plan for it and that shows in the outcome. We never planned for how to end it. We bodged it. Sy...

Except it isn’t. It’s a tactical strike against a small number of strategic targets. There’s quite a difference.

Frankly, I’m amazed by the number of people who advocate standing idly by while a regime uses chemical weapons against its own people.

Actually, the House of York triumphed in the War of the Roses, but it wasn't much to do with the counties, (if at all)/but political dynasties. For example, John of Gaunt was Duke of Lancaster, but only visited the city three times. Its all very intriguing. Initially. Ultimately the House of Tudor ...

Nobody wins a nuclear war.Whats the point of being top dog when theres no one left alive. We need to keep well out of Syria and leave the posturing to Trump and Putin.

Its an interesting point but it comes back to what I said above. You try and maximise the price to a level where you are happy and the customer is happy. Some jobs are a bigger pain in the arse than others and everyone has a different pain threshold. Some people might not want to travel too far, ot...

If you like beer, Hawkshead Brewery in Staveley is worth a visit.

I rarely see their beers outside of Burnley. So far and wide clearly wasn't a philosophy they're good at.

Depends on whether you're a CAMRA dinosaur or someone who just wants his beer to taste nice.

I look forward to trying those. Not sure that "bandwagon jumping" is a fully fair term. Craft beer is increasing in popularity, probably at the expense of real ale which has enjoyed a renaissance over the years. I think Moorhouses are just making sure they adapt to survive. Real ale is 'craft' beer...

A crude bit of deflection there. I see you didn’t mention #36 so I’ll just take it that you were wrong and leave it at that.

Considering the lane and sign recognition cameras a lot of cars already have it's a shame dash cams aren't integrated in that area too. Would make them a lot tidier.

I’m not upset in the slightest, but just read your post #36 again, and in the context of what you wrote then read the above quote again.

Cr4p. Whilst most commercial aircraft have an auto land system, it is only used under certain specific conditions as the ground environment has to be closely controlled to prevent corruption/ interruption of the cat 3 ILS signal. If these conditions aren’t active the aircraft is always manually lan...

The rest is auto pilot.

Pilots only carry out landings manually for the practice. Most commercial airliners can land themselves at most major airports.

There are some diferences that make a side-by-side comparison problematic. For example driverless cars now are near silent whereas cars 94 years ago could be heard from three towns away. Probably. Also back then the top speeds of mass produced cars were not much more than the 40 mph that this Uber ...

Like I say, then he went off to Rangers, because there was a better deal on the table. Then he was sacked, then Dyche took him back. Don’t buy the crap that media savvy footballers say on the tele.

He had some good games for us but I still wonder what happened when we conceded a goal at home to Wigan in our first season in the Pl. We had started the season well, especially at home, but for some reason he just fell over and allowed Wigan to score when they had not been at the races. They then ...

Absolutely right, Indigo. I'm a little alarmed at the re-writing of Jensen's history. For example, he stopped more shots in our Prem season than any other keeper. Admittedly we were under siege for most of the season and you'd expect him to be busy but, even so, the Beast must have done his job pre...

Interesting, but Southampton would finish 7th, Arsenal 6th. As you say we would be joint bottom on 43 with Everton, and would need 45 to be safe. (Unless I've made an error). I may have made a mistake with one of the Southampton or Arsenal results then, I wasn't being too careful about picking the ...

He displaced Coyne because of Coyne's injuries, Kiraly because Coyle didn't want anything to do with him and Penny because he was nowhere near the level required. Finally we got Grant. Whether he deserved a testimonial or not, he got one. It's been and gone. He almost displaced Grant as well! Never...

Out of interest, have you got some sort of analysis to prove this?. I really don't think that there are enough points available in the the next 8 games for 11 of the 13 teams below us to get to 44 points. Every time any team below us plays each other then one of them loses 3 points or they both los...

All I can say is you must be easily pleased if you think he did a great job for us. I still find it hard to believe the sheer number of far better keepers he managed to displace. Doesn't deserve a testimonial for me on the basis that he repeatedly handed in transfer requests and threw his toys out ...

It's pretty obvious really given that's where we play and he can't play for anyone else this season. He can play behind closed doors. My understanding is that Belgium will take him to the World Cup if he can prove that he is fit, he doesn't have to play in the Premier League to prove that. Lucky, b...

Before Owen Coyle saved us we had a number of years of wages exceeding turnover. Forest have obviously looked at how successful we have been since then and decided to emulate us.

They really won't. Most PL teams maybe half fill their away allocation now and most games don't sell out. Is it worth spending a lot of money for a few extra thousand ticket sales against Chelsea, City, United and Liverpool?

I'm fairly sure that when the BL was originally planned it was going to be significantly larger and possibly 2 tier.
