SMEE

Am buying my 9 yr old an xbox 360 for xmas. I am in two minds wherether to get it flashed....as the games would then be about 1/10th of the price. Downside would be....the warranty goes out the window. Ho hum...decisions decisions

My oldest son informs my that the new Batman Arkham Asylum game is among the best games ever!! Has anyone had their hard drive "flashed"? My brother sent me a site where you can buy "backup games" from ?3.50

Absolute disgrace. Any clown can see from the video evidence that eduardo dived, therefore gaining an advantage by cheating. There was no appeal in my opinion. Makes a mockery of the whole system and sends out the wrong signals

Am kinda glad. we need stability in the job....not throw a hissy fit anytime thing go against us

Hippy Burpday to ya Scotty!

As far as the stamping incident goes....well....playing devils advocate here...he just escaped a potential leg breaking, illegal, two footed tackle from Van Persie (which VP convieniently omitted to mention in his statement). human nature would be to lash out methinks. As far as the running to the Arsenal fans go...i would go easy on him for the following reason....he is in my dreamteam!

I would say....should you hold that view then you are still inferring one race is inferior to another! After all, there is positive discrimination....so am sure there could be negative racialism. If not...am coining the phrase now. Definition being...to be of the belief that ones race is inferior to others.

I would suggest that your use of the words "better looking" and "Ugliest" could be giving the impression that one race is superior to the other

Simply put...it is in NO way any form of racism. Racism is when an individual expresses his belief that people from a different race than his/her own are inferior.

"Saying you will support anyone who plays against England, is the same as saying you will support anyone that plays against blacks." No its not. Your confusing a simple rivalry there with racism. BIG DIFFERENCE i can assure you!!! if you cant see that....well...am not taking the time to re-educate you.

Yet some were mocking the likes of myself for daring to suggest we should be beating the likes of Ayr, especially at home.

Am a happy bunny tonight. Well done lads. Dont care if Sanchez is lazy....as long as he keep up his 2 in 3 (or whatever it is) strike rate

Well Oz.....my enjoyment of watching england get beat is just a bit of fun too. I glean a lot of pleasure from it. Thats as far as it goes with me. Its simply a sporting thing and not carried into everyday life

The way i see it...i have many English freinds...who i like.....but as has been pointed out...we are sick of all the OTT hype surrounding any English football acheivments. But it is highly satisfying watching them being humbled!

I see...so a Soctsman is not allowed to air their views without being acused of being anti english, but an englishman can post derogatory stuff about southern Scots and thats ok. This doesnt suprise me. I find those who cry wolf are quite often the worst culprits for double standards.

yet...its ok for you to take the P1ss out of those from south west scotland in your emergency appeal thread eh?

Hear hear!

If it makes you feel better....dont think of it as Anti English....think more Pro Anyone else

Oh here we go... One isnt allowed to exercise their freedom of choice without being labled anti english. I suppose i am racist and biggoted too eh?

Tch....England are and always will be "also rans". They are not serious contenders for ANY of the major comps. In european terms....i think Holland, Spain, Italy, Portugal, France (normally), Russia and Germany are ahead of them. IN World terms....you have to add in the Likes of Brazil, Argentina. And No....i will not be supporting them. Like Caley D, i will be giving my backing to whoever they play

What worries me is....for the last 20 yrs or so...i have watched all these nations come on leaps and bounds football wise, while Scotland stagnates. I think its time to mirror the techniques and systems being deployed in the more sucsessful countries. But i get the feeling, those in charge at The SFA are in denial and are determined to leave things as they are, rather than admit their ways are failing. As far as Burley goes. I thought we played some decent football under him (at times) and am not sure that spitting our dummies out every time we fail to qualify is the way to go. Maybe a little perseverance and stability is required. Or.......we accept our place as a tiny nation, with little reason to expect too much.

I see the latest chapter in this whole debacle involves no other than Local Mr Wannabe big shots David Sutherland and David Cameron. They are now taking up the Challenge to the development that Highland Council threatened, regarding the road upgrade. I hope the pair of clowns waste Hundreds of thousands of pounds challenging it ....and then Oh how i will laff if they lose! This whole thing stinks....as they use the same legal company that Tesco use. Something is rotten in the state of Denmark. Sutherland needs cut down to size if you ask me. he really thinks the is something special. Apparently, part of Sutherland and Camerons development plan is to involve Sainsbury's as the anchor chain, and it is thought it will be more appealing to Sainsbury if there is no Asda in the way. Sod Off Sutherland and Co!

Sorry to hear of your loss. RIP

Ah...but some groups are 6 teams and some groups are 5 teams. There is some rule that kicks in to ensure fairness. I think its something like....the groups with 6 teams, the runners up have their results agains the bottom team cancelled out....or something like that

Ah....the Gibson flying V. I have actually played a proper one (in a fantastic, if short lived music shop, Inverness Briefly had about 20 yrs ago, called R&B Music) They two guys in there were fabulous guys. I was their first paying customer, got to know them, and they would always let me mess about on things in there and make me coffee etc. Great days!! Anyhoo....the Flying V.....it was the easiest guitar to play EVER. The action was amazing. You could almost blow on the strings and that would hold them down...but it had clarity etc all the way up the fret board. Effortless springs to mind! Honestly Dee.....if anyone now asks my opinion about buying a guitar, i tell them to save up the extra cash and buy a good guitar, it makes all the difference between wanting to play and not Be a Devil Dee....do it do it do it. there are far worse things you could be squandering your cash on! I would love to replace my Fender acoustic and get my hands on a nice Gibson acoustic guitar, but that would cost over ?2000 :wacko:
