Of course companies are only out for themselves, but when individuals act like that they shouldn't be surprised by the reaction they get. It's ok - I take it as a compliment that you got back to me ;-)

I can relate to that a lot. I'm not in the least bit capable of kicking a football straight myself - but spent a few years as a boys football club secretary, running the line, and helping out with the transport, nets etc. The worst thing I remember was the attitude of the county FAs. They...

Obviously the agent should get paid for their services, but you don't do much to dispel the reputation recruitment agents have of being interested solely in themselves. While that's refreshingly honest, whenever I recruit I look for an agent who's job is to find the right candidates for my...

Good, but that's not what I was suggesting. "which ex Albion players (still playing at a high level!) would you have back in the squad now? All very hypothetical of course, so dont worry about who would have to drop out now." To make it easier to understand, suppose you could have a squad of...

Yeah - that's just cos he's a nice guy :)

Tedious click-bait article, http://footballleagueworld.co.uk/5-former-players-brighton-and-hove-albion-should-re-sign-in-the-summer/ which suggests resigning Buckley, Ulloa, Bridcutt, Noone, Barnes in the summer. Since we don't know which division we'll be in, that seems a bit premature...

IF Bong came in at lb, and LR replaced Bruno at rb, just wondering who'd get the armband? Kayal? Stockdale??

"Most of all, the Cuban missile crisis showed that the weapons themselves are the problem. Britain is now in pole position to lead a "nuclear disarmament race". In a 2009 letter to the Times, Field Marshal Lord Bramall and Generals Lord Ramsbotham and Sir Hugh Beach denounced Trident as...

It worries me that some people think things are so simply black or white. There are so many other factors beyond whether a country has nuclear capability. How can anyone state categorically things like IF we didn't haven't nukes THEN we would be bombed, or that IF we do have them we'll be safe...

Is this a new tactic, or am I blind? There is a match today isn't there? :dunce: I'm certainly not going to put myself in the firing line

Orcas speak to each other in comedy German/Austrian(?) accents? Tiger all the way. I bet they sound like Liam Neeson.

But how would we know who has tweeted what about Calleri?

Or should we just put our hands over our face? :D

Yep, I just went for the worst case. 50,000kt reassuringly wipes out croydon but leaves Brighton clear. I imagine the trains would be royally f'ked tho.

It may not become uncontrollable, but it certainly has to be adjusted to cater for costs not originally catered for. Reducing the effects of capex brings in a degree of controllability. The money allocated for Trident appears to have needed an increase...

Fair point. Should London be subjected to the worse case currently possible, it might get a bit 'uncomfortable' though. http://nuclearsecrecy.com/nukemap/?&kt=100000&lat=51.499167&lng=-0.124722&hob_opt=1&hob_psi=5&hob_ft=47553&ff=52&zm=8

Put your two comments together, and I think you are arguing a good case (even if you didn't intend to). The *real* threat is not something that nuclear deterrents can prevent. The clear, present, and demonstrated threat is from terrorist organisations. Should we cancel the renewal of trident...

Your original rhetoric and your playground insults don't really add weight to what could be a decent argument. Yes the area has growing problems, and China would be very happy to see the end of the US presence so it could to assert its authority even more than it already is. However, to...

Common sense? Electronic espionage is more effective? The fact that they want to trade with the West? The fact that they have nothing to gain by doing so whatever the deterrent? The fact they have have no need or desire to bust any carriers?

It's an interesting theory, but since the Americans supply, service and maintain the missiles, and the government themselves said: “We do not see a good case for making what would be a substantial additional investment in our nuclear deterrent purely to insure against a, highly unlikely, deep...
