  1. Harriet Walter Her porcelain face, is starting to crack, but she still has something special. Stuff your amnesty.
  2. BTW Section whatever happend to "Uncle Junior" on this site ? You remember him ?
  3. What, a retrospective analysis of jumping onto bandwagons with the knee still jerking ? Clearly, you jest.
  4. Don't know what everyone's working themselves into a frenzy about. From what I recall, straight reds are not allowed to be recinded unless the referee that gave it reccomends that it be retracted. The Bosingwa issue, was a matter, that the FA could have done something about that were within their own regulations. The two cases have completely different contexts. Using one decision to compare with the other is illogical.
  5. I would have thought the proper way to sum-up a season would be to look at the table. But I'm crazy that way.

    If I were you, I'd be thankful for such suggestions; helps me decide whom to put on my ignore list.
  7. For a billionaire, to come out with such a pathetic excuse: A few weeks ago, we were in first position, then a certain individual from the club attacked another individual from another club, and, since then, we have lost form and slid down the league. is fucking idiotic. And to think he's running the club. Rafa's won the Champions League with us, then taken us into another final, and last year taking us to another semi-final. So what if ran his mouth off. We're here with a REAL shot at it. Either you help the manager and back him, or stay the fuck out of the way. As they say, if you can't take the heat, stay the fuck out of the kitchen. How on earth he became a billionaire is suspicious.
  8. I think the point he might be trying to make is that they are transient/spurious forces rather than stable/equilibrium ones. I'm probably wrong though.
  9. The Times ROMAN Abramovich, the Russian billionaire, has been taking soundings over selling Chelsea football club to Gulf Arabs. Representatives of the oligarch have travelled to Saudi Arabia and Dubai to elicit interest in the club, Gulf sources have told The Sunday Times. At least one of the meetings was with members of the Saudi royal family. There has been no evidence so far of a potential buyer. The Middle East has become the cash cow for British football teams. Sheikh Mansour of Abu Dhabi, the owner of Manchester City, hopes to sign the Brazilian star Kaka from AC Milan in a deal that could cost up to £243m in payments and salary. One source said: “Abramovich’s team have been out in the Middle East sounding out what interest there is in buying the club.” Chelsea insisted last night that Abramovich was still fully committed to the club on which he has lavished hundreds of millions of pounds. A Chelsea spokesman said it was “total nonsense” that the Russian was willing to sell the club. He bought Chelsea for about £60m in 2003, taking over £80m in debts, and has since provided at least £500m in loans to buy new players. Sources say that if Abramovich can recoup his money, he might now be ready to sell after five years in which he turned Chelsea into a Champions League side that has twice won the English Premier League. Chelsea reached their first Champions League final last season and Abramovich watched as they were beaten in a penalty shoot-out by Manchester United in Moscow in May. He was absent from last weekend’s 3-0 defeat by United, which many feel will pave the way for Chelsea’s rivals to win the Premier League for a third successive year. Yesterday he left his seat at Stamford Bridge with 15 minutes of the game remaining with Chelsea losing 1-0 at home to lowly Stoke. It took two late goals to secure victory. City sources believe it would cost at least £800m to buy out Abramovich when the “going rate” for a Champions League side is about £500m. Mansour was able to snap up Manchester City for about £200m. Abramovich’s wealth has fallen sharply in the down-turn. Philip Beresford, who compiles The Sunday Times Rich List, conservatively estimates that Abramovich has lost £3 billion from his £11.7 billion fortune. City experts question whether he may have a short-term problem with liquidity and needs cash. Some of Chelsea’s superstars are paid £120,000 a week.
  10. I used to hate maths, until O-Levels, when things started to click. Then went on to do Maths and Further Mathematics at A-Level. Got A's all through. Ended up with PhD in Maths at a good university. My advice to all people is to practice. There is just no way around it. When you practice you subconciously bring what seems like different and completely unconnected concepts closer and closer together until they become one lucid, continuous body of knowledge. I am told that this also goes for all other fields of endevour too. Practice, practice, practice.
  11. Irish government warns IMF intervention may be necessary
  12. Irish home prices MIGHT plunge 80% Well, the silver lining might be that my brother can now afford to buy a house in Belfast I guess.
