I am much more gentle than Col and Rich, but in their abscence somebody has to add a little spice to the thread and keep those young ex colonials in their place.

Dan what's this mean

The dollar is never too far away

You trying to tell me that all that matters is the dollar, that it is the be all and end all of an American's existence.

Dan what's this mean

I thought he was referring to that o-so-subtle message from the sponsor so inconspicuously placed upon the player's jersey



And do I have to re-state the actual number of times that the football is actually kicked in American football?

I guarentee you they would not be doing it if there wasn't a dollar, pound, euro, etc. behind it. What does amaze me is they are willing to risk limb and health for that pecuniary gain only to see the government suck up the lion's share.

BTW, no 'ex colonial' here. I have no sovereign in this world!

No, As I wrote my post to have a go at Doco for attacking proper football I hoped that you wouldn't spot it and point to that thread ,
"but please sir he started it"

Now I know you guys don't get Mountain Dew over there but surely you're not deprived of all Pepsi products

and they say advertising works, not in every case it seems

I can resist "poisons" like pepsi, coke etc, if I want a drink there is water, coffee , wine, whisky who needs anythink else.

You're right of course, and I bet it is one of the biggest factors for that article in the political forum regarding children's poor quality of life in both the US and the UK.

 

[Rich]

Now I know you guys don't get Mountain Dew over there

Thank god for small mercies

Well, lets be clear that I was not making an attack on "proper football" only a little good natured ribbing of my wife's English cousins , I'm perhaps a bit ashamed to say, of French lineage.

So, we're supposed to - ge i'on -

The whole thread was a bit of light banter and I'm not sure why you should be ashamed of French lineage, they make decent wine and cheese, and I'm partial to a bit of good Cognac, plus they were b***** right on Iraq.

I didn't understand the last line!!

I didn't understand the last line!!

It was my botched attempt at writting Cockney: We're supposed to get it on. I won't even get started about the Iraq thing... Only to say beyond wine, cheese and or Cognac, the French have absolutely nothing to offer to the world - particularly when it comes to resolve! Enough said.

But the French were spot on over Iraq and Bush and Bliar's lies

Of course highly debateble and as it is and shall remain to be. Only thing I know is I don't know enough REAL information to know. The media are the true liars in any case.

Additionally, the Brits and Yanks have spilt precious blood, right or wrong. The thing that really galls me is we pretend we can have war with rules! And that is bl***y b*** s***!

Truly enough said. I will no longer continue discussion of a subject for which I have scant little QUALITY information to digest. I would say in parting however, that I believe your Tony Blair is far more trustworthy than our George W! Just a personal opinion... I have played enough poker in my life to know body language when I see it and Georgy is hiding something as ALL bl***y lawyer/barrister/politicians do!

ummm isnt this the sports and leisure area of the board? shouldnt the political posts be moved to the politics board?

thank you

 

[Rich]

I believe your Tony Blair is far more trustworthy

I wouldn't trust him, he's a politician, and a stupid one at that

 

[carlnewboult]

no the game of football which does not involve a round ball is a girls version of rugby

 

[doco]

Didn't say he was altogether trustworthy. Just that he was moreso than George W. I don't believe it is the politician necessarily, it is the attorney (barrister) at the core. All attorneys are a clear and present danger to society at large - any society.

"In the new world order, you first eliminate all attorneys" author forgotten If a legal system is so complex that any reasonably intelligent individual within that system cannot defend themselves as a result of that complexity. Then it is a society doomed to failure due to corruption and manipulation. Certainly this is what we see in the USA. A good example is the 60,000 pages of tax code - what an embarrassment that is.
