Vanhalen

Yeah man, Higgys an excellent player, Im suprised you guys let him go, one of his main assets is that he works hard for the team, and that is how we play, with everyone giving 150% even at the 90th minute.

Yeah, it is our third season at St.Marys(god is it three years already), so it would have been spot on, and Chelsea were terrible in the second half, why bring on Veron when you have Joe Cole????

Jim Cantalupo, chief executive and chairman of fast-food chain McDonald's, has died of an apparent heart attack. The company said the 60-year-old had been attending a meeting of restaurant franchise owners in Orlando, Florida, when he fell ill. Mr Cantalupo, who took over the reins of the company in January 2003, had been widely praised for turning around its then flagging fortunes. McDonald's has named Charlie Bell as Mr Cantalupo's successor. Mr Bell was previously the company's president and chief operating officer. Healthier options Under Mr Cantalupo's leadership McDonald's posted its highest sales gain in 30 years. Its shares fell by 80 cents or 2.9% to $26.66 after Monday trading started on Wall Street following the announcement of his death. In a statement, McDonald's said Mr Cantalupo was "a brilliant man, who brought tremendous leadership, energy and passion to his job". "He made an indelible mark on McDonald's system," it added. The worries are that perhaps there may not be a strong number two Art Hogan, Jefferies & Co McDonald's share price Sales turnaround Mr Cantalupo was credited with turning around McDonald's since he was brought back from retirement to lead the company in January 2003. The company has had to face changing market conditions He had retired a year earlier after 28 years with the company. A former vice chairman and president, his focus on introducing new items such as salads and grilled chicken - in the face of criticism that its traditional products were too high in fats, salt and sugar - saw revenues recover. Not to forget also against the backdrop of the mad-cow disease scare in the US, which put many consumers off eating beef. Mr Cantalupo also saw McDonald's slow down its historically high-speed expansion and the closure of hundreds of under-performing restaurants.

Only last week McDonald's introduced a new Adult Happy Meal in the US that included a pedometer to encourage people to walk more.

Southampton played 6 won 4, we could get to europe if results go our way

Im very anti europe, for kkk its basically a new constitution that was going to be passed on us, i.e Europe could take control of our armies, pass taxation down upon us, make laws about our country, there has been a lot of public pressure and also form the newspapers for about two years now for this, and hes basically had to given in, if he loses this vote(which he probably will do, opinion polls have it at about 80% against) then he will have to resign, but he will prbably stage it after the general election in may 2005, so even if he lost this vote, his government would stay in power

You arent missing much, its exceptionally flat atmosphere, we took about 4,000 there on saturday and easily outsang them, they might be depressed cos of their shit for a team, but even so

Yreah, it was a good game, and good atmosphere, was that down at the first season at St.Marys?

Fawlty Towers's Flowering Twats opening was a classic Teenage Mutant Nija Turtles X-Men cartoon from 1993(or '94, cant remember properly) Match Of The Day(That theme music is classic)

Its hard to describe, but he basically dragged the Argentina team into winning the world cup in 86, if you only saw him at the world cup in 94, you missed out on so much, even though some of it was against us in the infamous quarter final of 86, where Maradona went wrong about 7 england players and gently dinked the ball past shilton, a truely remarkable goal, and a amazing player.

Hey, southampton fucking rule , what team do you support?

Fortunatly, I've never had to experience a play-off final, it just seems to nerveracking, your whole season decided on 90 minutes, phew I get wound up enough every saturday without that, as for Heskey, I think hes got incriminating pictures of Sven and is blackmailing him, thats my only explanation, phillips is a good player, but is VERY hot and cold, during some parts of the season hes been amazing, and some parts he has been plain terrible, Beatts is still my first love

Man, you guys get everywhere , come on Beattie

Well I stand happily corrected

Stan never went to number 1, Bob The Builder beat him

I really fancy Leeds to go down, although Man City were awful when we whupped them 3-1 on Saturday

Stupid question here guys, but I'd appreciate any help given, cos England is a fairly small country relativatly speaking, there is a national broadcast, which means that every station is practiacally the same wherever you live, but I understand that there is local stations in the US? And also syndication where big cable channels sell old tv programmes to smaller cable channels? And also, given that Raw seems to be always getting rapped for violence and sex language and all that shite, how come HBO can show something like the Sopranos? Or is it on at a later time? Or cut? And what is PBS? cheers for any help

If you would like to see some examples of this good style, get some UK tapes in from back around 1985 or so, when Liger(he was wrestling under a different name then, cant remember it off the top of my head) and Owen Hart were working regulary in the UK, there is some great matches to be picked up there.

Its obvious what clubs Adam and I support, but I was just curious as to what clubs you other guys supported?

We should have a just a general league thread, I mean there is the small matter of the Premiership which you guys were once members of, and might return some day

I appreciate the help guys, you've helped out a lot

They did technically give the silent countdown to Mason, if you remember when he promotes Tony to leader of CTU and walks out of the office(for what seemed to be his final scene, but of course he reappeared), the silent clock was used then.

For kkktookmybabyaway, after I asked him where he got his username from

I know I'm a little behind with this film, its one ive wanted to watch and never got around to it, well I saw it last night and fuck me is it powerful, Im a big fan of Beat Takeshi but he just outdoes himself here, what a film. This website can explain it better than I can ever do, suffice to say, it is one of the most powerful films I have seen in years, alongside City of God, you owe it to yourself to get this film on DVD, just the running tally of kills was chilling in itself. http://www.mandiapple.com/snowblood/battleroyale.htm

That has got to be one of the most inane, uninformed comments I have ever seen in my life, did you honestly mean that?

Hmmm, does 30 years of being bombed by the IRA tell you anything about us giving in after one attack?
