Another Drive4show 'Anything goes' thread

[mystiroakey]

First topic message reminder :

Mac your beiing an idiot there mate.. NBS at best is on some pedantic mission at the moment- at best arguing symatics..

Don't be a plank. There's nothing semantic in what I've said. You always say I'm arguing semantics when you don't get what I'm talking about!
You're right re. the spaghetti, butter and TK. It's not great but it's not as bad, nutritionally, as is being made out. As I said before, if they ate that occasionally, what's the issue? If they eat it every day? That's another matter.

its disgusting- the family is overweight.. they should not be eating that sort of food ever! the fact that they even ''like' that sort of food is a big problem.

the mother said she was raised on it!

That is there stock spaghetti dish!

Jamie oliver needs to be sent to that family- its an emergency i tell ya!

Id give claire from steps one..

Really Mysti?? Have you seen her recently? I would have when Steps were famous, all 3 of the the girls together was a bit of a fantasy of mine, then it was the Sugarbabes...never liked any of them singing wise but the video of them with the guy in the lift.... Hmmmm.

[mystiroakey]

she has a cute face.,., Nice girl- saw her on some CBB show or something last night.

I would give her one- i am not predudiced against abit lard if they look ok.. I like variety

Yeah I'll give you that, she does have a cute face. I struggle with lard myself, hell I even trim the fat off bacon before I can eat it.

I have "taken one for the team" a mates girlfriends mate but no, in no hurry to repeat. I'd rather go without but each to their own I suppose.

[mystiroakey]

Something about her that i like. I dont know if its the insecurity she has due to her being overweight. But there is something cute about her. I will admit that i wouldnt bang 99% of the lardies.. but her- Yeah for sure..

[JAS]

Browsed some newer vids on YouTube re Piers Morgan and the U.S. gun control debate....Jeezo there are some seriously deranged weirdos wading into that debate, check out Alex Jones Piers Morgan debate...men in white coats material surely. Amusing yet alarming at the same time!!

[mystiroakey]

Sometimes I think yanks are a close neighbour to us. But then other times they seem to be on another planet!! Different world..

[super_realist]

That Alex Jones moron is a well known crackpot. He's a fully paid up member of the tinfoil hat wearing conspiracy remedial societyl. He's quite often on British radio, where he is always routinely ridiculed and all he can do is shout people down.

Much as I hate Piers Morgan, he was right to take the reserved line with this utter tw@t. Jones came out looking the idiot in this, but sadly there is probably a sizeable portion of America who believe he's right.
Why anyone needs an assault rifle is ridiculous. The only guns required are a shotgun/rifle for hunting. Other than that there is no need at all.

[incontinentia]

See the cops have released a report on jimmy savile desribing him as prolific and predatory, and that he 'groomed the nation'. Unless its all just a big misunderstanding.

[Shotrock]

Mysti - Don't be fooled by the overwhelming loud idiots in the US that think any gun control is an infringement on their civil rights. Super is saying what the majority (absolutely from my circle of friends/acquaintances and from every poll I read as well) of people in the US feel: There should be an all-out ban on assault rifles.

I always mention to the paranoid nuts who start spouting the "Second Amendment" BS why stop with guns? When that was written, they didn't specifically exclude cannons. Why not allow everyone who wants one a low grade nuclear device?

[Diggers]

Not just assault rifles , handguns as well. No need for them, just pathetic boys wanting toys. How do you get rid of the millions and millions out there though ?

[super_realist]

Damn, will I have to hand over my trebuchet in any amnesty? Curses.

[mystiroakey]

why the heck would anyone need an assualt rifle!!

yeah give me one in a war- please.. but.,...

[super_realist]

Another thing I'm sick of hearing is "gun's don't kill people, people do" from the gun lobby (or rappers do, if you're Goldie Lookin' Chain)

If that were true, how many people would I kill if I stormed into a school armed with a turnip?

Even if I went in with a samurai sword, I couldn't kill as many as if I went in with an arsenal of assault rifles. I'd be over-powered.

[barragan]

"wappers do" according to GLC

[kwinigolfer]

s_r, Shotrock,
I attended a City Council Meeting on Monday that included a proposed a ban on assault weapons, mega-ammo clips etc within City Limits.

Public Forum, yes there is some democracy in America, usually comprises about 15 comments at most, might last twenty minutes. You should have seen the performance on Monday night, every wacko coming in from the hills to defend their rights to bring semi-automatic weapons to Starbucks (yes, I'd ban Starbucks too) if they so wished. Went on forever. Very frightening in an eerie sort of way.

Fortunately the Council resolution passed handsomely.

[Shotrock]

s_r, Shotrock,


Fortunately the Council resolution passed handsomely.

That's good to hear. But, it's the loud wackos that we all remember the most.

[navyblueshorts]

As Roger Waters might have said:

"You have a natural tendency
To squeeze off a shot
You're good fun at parties
You wear the right masks
You're old but you still
Like a laugh in the locker room
You can't abide change
You're at home on the range
You opened your suitcase
Behind the old workings
To show off the magnum
You deafened the canyon
A comfort a friend
Only upstaged in the end
By the Uzi machine gun
Does the recoil remind you
Remind you of sex..."

Unfortunately, it's not only the older wackos. Good to hear sense won out in that instance Kwini.

[kwinigolfer]

Is that from the pros and cons of Bushmasters?

nbs
The actual discussion which ensued the public forum focussed much more on mental health than firearms and, if nothing else comes out of all this ongoing rhetoric, it's likely that "background checks" going forward will be far more rigorous. The "Gun Lobby" here is a dangerous and powerful thing. Completely alien to most non-Americans.

[golfermartin]

I'm not sure how true it is, but I have heard that there are more guns per capita in Switzerland that the USA. If that's true, do they have the problem the US has and we just don't hear about it? That can't be the case - we heard about the Norwegian nutter. So it must be something in the US psychy (is that how you spell it?)

[navyblueshorts]

They had a multiple death shooting incident in Switzerland last week, but that's the only one I recall hearing about.

well the swis are all sort off army trained. As switzerland doesnt have an actual army itself. The citzens act like one if needed. they all carry a rifle about..


the pschy of that is surely a massive difference. However dont think switzerland dont have issues- they may not go around murdering each other in the same numbers with there guns- But they do have a big suicide rate with the guns they carry...

[Diggers]

The Swiss certainly have issues, rudest country I've ever been to and right up there with the most boring nationalities on the planet.

[navyblueshorts]

Their neutrality bugs me intensely. Some interesting past relationships with the National Socialists of Hitler's regime as well.

[hend085]

anyone see the latest Joey Barton feud on twitter? no holds barred attack on Didi Hamman

[navyblueshorts]

Joey Barton? Who gives a XXXX?

[Roller_Coaster]

Joey Barton does, mostly on behalf of the thousands of twitter accounts he set up to follow himself.

[Roller_Coaster]

Pathetic but amusing...

[mystiroakey]

harmen is certainly just as bad in this. Hilllarious rant that one..

[EmmDee57]

This is quite a story!!

http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2013/jan/15/michael-johnson-released-manchester-city

S_R won't like to see a professional athlete looking so overweight.

[navyblueshorts]

Hamann to Barton:

"The problem is that because you play in France you think you are an international player"

[mystiroakey]

it reminds me of the old 606 days that rant. Classic stuff.

[SmithersJones]

Has everyone seen the new Nike ad? Shame they used cup rather than hole, would have been a very funny dig at Tiger as well as a fun ad!

[mystiroakey]

Well its got you talking Smithers!

Done its job id suggest

[Roller_Coaster]

Saw Nike ad last night, quite like it tbh.

Don't like the colour of the covert driver though, bleurch. What's covert about that?

[dynamark]

[kwinigolfer]

Good luck dyna; parent / child golf the best there is.

[mystiroakey]

good call from your daughter- my two fav sports as a kid an all..

[kwinigolfer]

dyna,
Good luck to her. (You might want to check out how isolated D&E is - wouldn't necessarily be everyone's cup of tea, but might be perfect. A factor though.)

[mystiroakey]

[mystiroakey]

Rose and Rors both making big statemnets in support of mcginley.

fair enough- why does monty need another go anyway???

[mystiroakey]

Alot of debate about Lance at the mo.. people are saying that its criminal and he can never give the feeling back to the riders that finished second who should have been first.

Are they trying to suggest that the riders in second didnt dope?

[navyblueshorts]

Has that cheating Poopie given that 'interview' yet? Whatever he says, I hope no-one ever sanctions him for competitive sport ever again. Also hope everyone who can sues the arse off him.

[Diggers]

Nicole Cooke had a great go at Armstrong as part of her retirement speech, always was a feisty lady and one of the most unheralded British sportswoman , won everything there was for get to win basically.

[mystiroakey]

I just read that lance was part of a mafioso type conspiracy in cycling. That they would threaten anyone that suspected the doping . and that he had a specialist make up lady to allways hid his arm wounds from the injections..

If it was that bad i am kinda speachless to be honest

[JAS]

I would imagine it's going to dominate the latter part of the weeks sports pages. I remember reading fairly recently that when they initially decided to strip him of his titles they looked down the list of placings on one of the years in question and they had to go about 7 places down to find somebody allegedly untainted. Think thats what made them decide just to leave all those titles "not won".

So yes, he did wrong and yes he had me fooled for years. There are some now ripping into him for confessing.....so what should he do? continue to lie and deny? The fact is he and a significant proportion of the peleton (certainly most of the contenders) systematically cheated for years. That cannot happen without a LOT of collusion and blind eye turning. If he is now deciding to open up and out everyone else that supported the massive cover up then he should be given every encouragement to do so.
