Her efforted nasal caterwalling, combined with her shotgun makeup leave me reaching off-button every time. Skank!

Well my guess would be that they know pretty well what they are protesting about. They would probably say that 20 of the worlds elite get together to figure a way to shaft us another fifteen ways from Sunday. Well not on my watch is what would be the general consensus. This 20 represent what got us into this mess in the first place - and we're supposed to "get on" with our miserable lives - but they're ones to save us? One has to define what getting on with life is, before we make judgments on who fights what fight. A McDonald's window gets smashed? Fuck them for hypnotizing our kids with powerful subliminal advertising, and turning the McDonalds-chomping world into mindless fat chavs. Smash a BoS, or a BoE window? Fuck them too! A drop in the ocean! Two words - global currency.

Frequently Asked Questions From Over 25 Years Q. What is The Venus Project? A. Very Briefly, The Venus Project is an organization that proposes a feasible plan of action for social change; one that works toward a peaceful and sustainable global civilization. It outlines an alternative to strive toward where human rights are not only paper proclamations but also a way of life. The Venus Project presents a vision not of what the future will be, but what it can be if we apply what we already know in order to achieve a sustainable new world civilization. It calls for a straightforward redesign of our culture in which the age-old problems of war, poverty, hunger, debt, and unnecessary human suffering are viewed not only as avoidable, but as totally unacceptable. Anything less will result in a continuation of the same catalog of problems found in today’s world. The Venus Project presents an alternative vision for a sustainable world civilization unlike any political, economic or social system that has gone before. It envisions a time in the near future when money, politics, self and national-interest have been phased out. Although this vision may seem idealistic, it is based upon years of study and experimental research. It spans the gambit from education, transportation, clean sources of energy to total city systems. Many people believe what is needed is a higher sense of ethical standards and the enactment of international laws and treaties to assure a sustainable global society. Even if the most ethical people in the world were elected to political office, without sufficient resources we would still have many of the same problems we have today. As long as a few nations control most of the world’s resources and profit is the bottom line, the same cycle of events will prevail. As global challenges and scientific information proliferate, nations and people face common threats that transcend national boundaries. Overpopulation, energy shortages, global warming, environmental pollution, water scarcity, economic catastrophe, the spread of uncontrollable disease, and the technological displacement of people by machines threaten each of us. Although many people are dedicated to alleviating those conditions, our social and environmental problems will remain insurmountable as long as a few powerful nations and financial interests maintain control of and consume most of the world’s resources and the monetary system prevails. If we really wish to put an end to our ongoing international and social problems, we must declare Earth and all of its resources the common heritage of all of the world’s people. Earth is abundant and has plentiful resources. Our practice of rationing resources through monetary control is no longer relevant and is counter-productive to our survival. Today we have highly advanced technologies, but our social and economic system has not kept up with our technological capabilities. We could easily create a world of abundance for all, free of servitude and debt based on the carrying capacity of Earth resources. With the intelligent and humane application of science and technology, the people of the earth can guide and shape the future together while protecting the environment. We don’t have enough money to accomplish these ends but we do have more than enough resources. This is why we advocate a Resource-Based Economy. Q. What is a Resource-Based Economy? A. To transcend these limitations, The Venus Project proposes we work toward a worldwide, resource-based economy, in which the planetary resources are held as the common heritage of all the earth's inhabitants. The current practice of rationing resources through monetary methods is irrelevant, counter-productive, and falls far short of meeting humanity’s needs. Simply stated, a resource-based economy utilizes existing resources - rather than money - to provide an equitable method of distribution in the most humane and efficient manner. It is a system in which all goods and services are available to everyone without the use of money, credits, barter, or any other form of debt or servitude. To better understand a resource-based economy, consider this. If all the money in the world disappeared overnight, as long as topsoil, factories, personnel and other resources were left intact, we could build anything we needed to fulfill most human needs. It is not money that people require, but rather free access to most of their needs without worrying about financial security or having to appeal to a government bureaucracy. In a resource-based economy of abundance, money will become irrelevant. We have arrived at a time when new innovations in science and technology can easily provide abundance to all of the world’s people. It is no longer necessary to perpetuate the conscious withdrawal of efficiency by planned obsolescence, perpetuated by our old and outworn profit system. If we are genuinely concerned about the environment and our fellow human beings, if we really want to end territorial disputes, war, crime, poverty and hunger, we must consciously reconsider the social processes that led us to a world where these factors are common. Like it or not, it is our social processes – political practices, belief systems, profit-based economy, our culture-driven behavioral norms – that lead to and support hunger, war, disease and environmental damage. The aim of this new social design is to encourage an incentive system no longer directed toward the shallow and self-centered goals of wealth, property, and power. These new incentives would encourage people toward self-fulfillment and creativity, both materially and spiritually.

John Giles successfully sued the publishers of the book because of huge inaccuracies detailing his involvement in the 44day affair. They made an apology and had to pay damages. He also said that there were total untruths about Clough himself in the book, whom Giles openly admits he had no time for, but he cared about the basic fajts, no. They said they would change later prints of the book. Giles was also told that the book was "fiction, based on fact", but is concerned that nobody can tell where the truth and fiction begin and end. Norman Hunter said that bad tackle put in on Clough in the movie never happened.

There is defo a glitch in the system, and Phil Neal and Chris Lawler might have something to say about that. But Sami's problem with getting into the top three has to do with the attacking threat he has faced. Surely we have had trickier attacker since all these foreigners came in and took out jobs. Let's also not forget the that in olden times you could pass back to the keeper, so this can skew appraisals. You could pass back until 1990. Lawro was so quick as a defender that it was always thought from that point on that if you weren't quick, you were a lesser player, and this tends to colour peoples opinion of Sami, who actually never had real pace. He is playing in a time when you have to watch your step with all the challenging-from-behind bans, and dealing with the diving and cheating that is the cancer of the modern game. Surely his evergreenness should come into consideration too - the man is 35 ffs, and played a blinder at OT with the likes of Tevez chasing him. None of the others lasted past 33ish. For me, he should be in the top four. 1) Hansen 2) Lawro 3) Thommo 4) Hyppia As another poster said, he single-handedly (special mention for the pacier Henchoz) changed our defense from the sieve it was at the turn of the century, to an immovable object. And that is something of a challenge that all the rest didn't didn't have to face. A living legend!

Laughed at by time, tricked by circumstances

Okay, not a "great" signing. A bit of an exaggeration on my part. Maybe more than adequate. One has to remember the mood at the time. We weren't scoring during a bit of a slump, and Kenny brought him in as a quick fix, and he did the job.

I take your point about not getting legend status for scoring against our main rivals, but my real point is that he did the job he was brought in for, and did it quite well. Neil Mellor could be used as a counter arguement for his goal against Arsenal, which has given him micro-legend status. Barnes and Molby are untouchable, as they could justifiably say anyone was shite compered to them. But it is not my aim to erect an altar for Speedie, but to just set the record straight. He's far from an unmitigated disaster as some would have you believe. I just gets on my tits when he gets mentioned as a bad signing. He wasn't. S'all.

David Speedie was actually a great signing. If anyone is sketchy on Speedie, look it up. Scored on his debut to equalize at OT, scored two against Everton in his next game and went on to score at Stamford Toilet. In all, 6 goals in 14 appearances is pretty damn good by anyones standards. Kenny was gone 17 days after signing him. I always known this stuff, and the flak he comes in for bugs me for two reasons: the unjust disparage of a great little player who did us proud, and the denigration Kenny's decision making in his final days. But Jimmy Carter was a dud. I think he played once under Kenny, only for Dalglish to do one shortly after. He also had the dubious rep for being subbed on and off in the same game (v Chelsea under Souey, Speedie scored). True story that!

Homespun untruths as usual. Did they a mention high-flying Dutch-man and a faultering Spanish coach?

Aldo also mentioned that is was a big mistake to let Crouch go; as he thought he gave us something different if a change needed to be made. Hear hear!!

Drunk posting this::drool: I was watching the game tonight in The Submarine Bar in Dublin: in the presence of the the LFC legend, JOHN ALDRIDGE. There was a Q&A session after game where the audience got to put their questions to John. After raising my arm for a few minutes, I got to ask - "of the squad you played with, excluding yourself, who alone would make the biggest difference to our present squad"? You could probably guess that he said that John Barnes would be the make the biggest difference. But the elaborated to say that if (obviously hypothetically) Digger was playing, he would at least turn half our draws into victories. Other questioners asked about the current situation, but he didn't add to anything that hasn't already been said either way. Though he did say that we were alright down the middle but our wings were "shite". He also mentioned that some of our squad wouldn't make the reserves of his era. When questioned about typical incredulous Rafa decisions, he expressed the same bemusement as most - "I just don't know mate". He didn't want to be drawn on political Parry issues, but felt that Keane was treated abysmally. I asked later on a one-to-one - "who of his era would be an unsung hero in our present lot?" He answered that Ronnie Whelan, or Steve Nichol would make a huge difference. I said to him that I thought Steve McMahon would be his answer, but he stuck with his original choice. Tonights game reminded me so much of a typical Kenny Dalglish team performance; nothing out of this world, but professionally dealt with. What a difference a few days make in football! Mascherano was a revelation at RB (Not to me though). Ngog is far too young and promising to be written off just yet. We dominated without being a constant threat, but we fully deserved our triumph.

I too, saw after a few touches, and his pulling out of tackles that he was pants. I couldn't believe after 4 years of "building", we go out and sign this chancer. To be fair, he has improved in recent games, but only to almost the level we had before in Riise.

And I just remembered the second Newcastle 3 - Liverpool 4 game. As an example of the fickleness of the Geordies that hamstrung his tenure, does anyone remember the fan who ran up to the dug-out and threw his Newcastle jersey at Dalglish. Kenny was asked about it later by the Sly reporter, and Dalglish replied, (apply requisite Scottish burr) I thought he wanted me to come on". Classic!

King Kenny coming back mightn't be as daft as it first sounds. He's probably better qualified for the job now, than he was when he first got it. He's out of football 9yrs or so, but that doesn't mean he's all of a sudden become clueless. He goes to most of our games. How many of us claim to have great up-to-the-minute knowledge, and have never been in the game? Sure, it is a bit misty-eyed to think that such a thing could happen; but stranger things have happened. Kenny never had any break from the game when he took us over, and it took it's toll. I'm sure his knowledge is pretty damn good, and as up to date as anyone. Look, you don't lose what he had. He has a deep understanding of the game that can't be taught, and his bedside manner in the dressing room always struck a good balance of respect, and approachability. His sacking at Newcastle is one that people point to as an example of failure; but who hasn't been sacked at Newcastle by F Shepard? And they never had him in the level of awe as Keegan. He wasn't loved by the fans, so was always on the back foot. He took them from 4th to 2nd, and an FA Cup final the following season: losing to a double winning Arsenal. They finished 13th, but were without Shearer for most of season. He also signed Didi (cryptically the last KD signing to play for us) Hamann, Shay Given and Solano. Dahl Tomasson didn't work out, but he became a Milan legend after that. Others point to the big spending Blackburn and ask - who wouldn't win with all that cash - but isn't this one of the reasons we accept that we are not competing. And who has won without spending money? And this was a pre-Bosman era, when you had to buy English players to compete in Europe. Their style of football was different to when he was Liverpool boss, which shows that he knows how to cut his cloth and adapt to changes in football. Add to all this his ability to deal with Ferguson. Ferguson could never dismiss him as "deluded", as he has with Rafa. He doesn't suffer foolish reporters (read: shit-stirrers), and can make them quiver with a dismissive glare. There is also the X-factor that he would bring as an bona-fide legend. I too would go rasher if the younger blow-in Koppites started calling him Scottish cunt, but there is also the danger that he could turn things round at Anfield. As for if he wanted the job, I have read between the lines in interviews with KD that he would take the job again - "I haven't been asked yet", was one reply. I would endorse that he would stay for three terms, as he's probably no the type to hang around. I am dreaming, I admit it, but it's neither impossible, nor ridiculous to dream this dream.

I got the DVD for Crimbo. I put it on with great delight and anticipation with the room full of guests. It stank the place out!! You can barely tell what score it is ffs. Didn't do him justice. Pretentious twaddle!

He showed Alonso how a set-piece free-kick is taken. And we scored form a set-piece! Most unusual!

Some fan you are! Keane thrived under Jol and Ramos, two foreign managers. Overweight? Didn't train properly? He trained like a bastard ffs, and as fit as anyone, if not more. I don't know who your source is mate, but you're not well informed. And after all the bad treatment, he never uttered a word to the press. Unlike others; "as far as I'm concerned, Robbie Keane will still ba a Liverpool player tomorrow". Who said that, and what happened the next day? Anyway, I thought the Keane thing was put to bed once and for all. The GIF is absolutely dire and unfunny too!

Well I'm not sure either if this is about players who nearly signed, or just a retro wish-list. Dalglish - Laudrup Souness - Keane Evans - Stoichkov Houllier - Litmanen (how close does it have to be?) Benitez - Evra But to be fair, and to put a positive spin on things, my list of players I wished we would buy (and it's swear-on-the-bible honestly, without the benefit of hindsight), and did buy: (whether they worked out or not) Dalglish - Barnes Souness - Saunders Evans - Collymore Houllier - none (though he nearly did with Litmanen) Benitez - Torres

But isn't this about non-diving players that at least try to stay on their feet? Which Heskey does in fairness to him. I'm well aware of his lack of strength in holding the ball up, but he never dived. Wouldn't have him back though! Shiver! Zola and Del Piero have been mentioned, but again, diving shits who are great players. Which makes it even more sad.

I thought this was players who are NOT known for diving, but actually DO dive. Which would be an interesting category of its own. And I would include Mascherano in that list. However, my list of stand-up non-divers (who, if in the LFC squad would get a game no probs) would include: Hleb Heskey Scholes Essien Barry Parker Carlton Cole Bergkamp and Beckham were mentioned above as non-divers. Are ya kidding me? Diving bastards! For real! And Bergkamp was sent off on numerous occasions for petty sly-dog slaps and kicks.

Rafa had no say in Keane coming! Are ya havin a giraffe? And also, when Lawro opens his trap, put a tenner on it.

1) King Kenny, would be tip-top for me. Not thaaaat unrealistic. 2) Jose, don't forget, he wasn't our manager, so why should he have endeared himself to us when with chavtown. He was my 1sr choice in 04. 3) Gus Hiddink, an honest assessor of reality, and has tactical acumen and inspiration is equal measures. A class act that doesn't get into that spewing game. 4) Aime Jacquet, doing nothing, and might be a dark horse. 5) I'll get scalded for this. Cantona. He was a great admirer of our Kenny days, and it didn't go down well with the mancs when he mentioned it after FAC final. 6) Ottmar Hitzfeld, 8) Steve McMahon, got some Japanese thing going on, but would be a great throwback. Capello is a facsimile of Benitez, so that's a no. Rijkard is defensively poor. With an attack force like he had, would you worry about the back? That Bruce Arena gag cracked me up.
