Voted 8)
I just hope he is brave enough to start them at the Millenium Stadium.
How crap is having the final on a Sunday though………….
Dave being Chelsea, we enjoy watching the finals together (when we are in them) up the pub as there is a good mix of Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool, Man u fans and a few Spurs, but work the next day and all that? :shock: I feel a day off coming on :wink:
Them Arsenal younguns are brill. Just wish there were a few more English stars coming through though. I know we got 1, but a few more would be promising for the national squad.
My friend at work and me were chatting about this. She watched a program last week where they did a survey of younger Muslims and older Muslims. One of the questions was would you like England/Britain to live under a Muslim regime. 8% of the older ones said yes. A staggering 38% of the Younger ones said yes.
So much for the younger generation embracing their country.
If this plot had not have been foiled, I hate to think what would have happened. Civil war may be no exaggeration. :shock:

Sharon makes great points, as usual. The tax raised through the sale of tobacco products continues to be a major source of revenue for the Government, contributing around £10 billion annually. This is, according to the Treasury, equivalent to almost 3 pence on the basic rate of income tax or 12 pence on the top rate of income tax.
http://www.the-tma.org.uk/page.aspx?page_id=10This poxy government keep drilling into us about choice, well they aint giving folk the choice to smoke, its no, no and NO, you do as we say.
Its a dangerous move, smokers will vote against them, but of course, the ban is after the may local elections…
Classic catch 22- ban smoking and lose revenue but long term gain through less people in hospital due to smoking related diseases- there isn’t a right answer for this one
Sharon- have to disagree- everyone has rights etc and everyone will die but ever seen anyone cough their lungs up (i mean literally, huge chunks of bloody organ) in the last stages of lung cancer- n guess what, when you’re young, n fit and think you can take on the world, you don’t believe it’ll ever happen to you- when your in your 60’s n mortality looms n you get the call from the GP saying, “sorry, Mrs Gooner but Im afraid the tests have come back n it’s lung cancer”- I can categorically guarrantee, you will dread your death with a fear and passion you didnt think possible and you will wish, every single day, that you hadnt smoked.
But as you say, its your right to die in a fashion that, were you an animal you would have been put down long before the end
I watched my father in law die from it 4 years ago in an nhs bed. He had messed himself and there were no nurses available to change him and give him some dignity in his final hours. The last 48 hours of his life were something I would hate to see again. If he had a plug attached to him that I could have flicked off I would have done it, sod the consequences.
He never smoked.
My Grandad died of lung cancer.
He never smoked.
You get whatever life deals you, I dont think you can change that, but I understand what you are saying.
Got to go………………. we just scored!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I agree TM and if you read my post I also do not smoke in my house either.
But…………….. obesity kills more people than smoking.
It is (as PB said earlier) really hypocritical of the government to impose a ban on doing something they have no intention of stopping the sale of!
Where is the science?!
Feckin order…………… now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :wink: (im gonna settle for a sausage roll and salad cream :shock: )
Im on me way, that sounds lush!!! My god Im blo/ody starving!!!
whoops, I forgot. NO JOKING IN THE POLITICAL CHAMBER PLEASE. ORDER!!!!
ME TOO. ORDER!!!!!!!!!!!! :wink:
Yer aint going too bad Owen/Stephen. A bit of a way to go though.
