ah - was imaging creatures crawling up the hole that had just been finished and someone at the top of the hole batting them back in to the lake with a stick. Hard to get too excited about microbial forms as great as they are to scientists. Does that documentary say why there wouldn't be proper sized creatures swimming around in there?

I think it's hilarious that this is the purest water (naturally occurring) on earth and the Ruskies have been pouring kerosene down the hole to stop it freezing over.
As long as Cthulhu doesnt appear, I think we'll be ok.

Well these microbial forms (if they exist) may help to discover how life started on the planet, not sure how tho. I imagine the lack of food and sunlight would be the main thing with growth of creatures, the doc does look at a cave tho were there were small insects running around that never had access to sunlight and they were living off scum on the water through some sort of chemical synthesis.

I see in the story its the Russians drilling. In the doc they stopped drilling 100m from the surface as they use shitloads of chems for the drilling and it would contaminate the water, seems the Russians have just powered ahead and done it anyway

The best thing about the doc was there is a moon/planet covered with ice and Nasa were using Vostok as an experiment to create a probe that could go down the 4km distance and act on its own and take samples if needed. Must see if thats still going on

Cant wait to see what Big Vlad Putin finds down there. I presume he has the wet suit ready to go but might just go in shorts.

In May they are going to recover some samples of the lake. While testing in late May, they are going to discover that the water and bacteria in it can cure cancer. They will do a fast track FDA approval and have it out for the public to use by July/August.
By October, the zombie apocalypse will begin. Because it's October, people are going to not to pay any attention to these "zombies" because everyone will think its a Halloween gag. This will affect more people than you can imagine.
November, the food source is getting low. Zombies have somehow discovered how to fly into space using old shuttle technology NASA had stored away.
December comes along, and one person is alive and can save the universe by blowing up Earth.
December 21st, that person finds the button to launch all the nuclear weapons in the world causing the end of the world, yet saving the Earth.

Ah bullshit I will just be getting my Christmas hols on Dec 21st. That's a few days of holiday allowance that will now go unclaimed because of a zombie apocalypse.

Dave Pearson is the guy with the case to answer and I'm sure he'll take the opportunity in Paris to fuck us over again as he has done many times before. Did anyone hear if there were any recriminations for the Scottish linesman who fucked us over in Cardiff. I didn't think so.

Ya forgot about him also a massive cunt but I certainly thought Barnes was letting them do what they wanted on he ground and no roll away while we got done for it.

Couple of times welsh looked off side and wasn't called. No excuse for how we played but guy didn't give us a fair game neither.

[V for Vendetta]

online very cheap!

Have used these guys before and found them very good. Also can collect from the store beside arnotts which is useful if you are worried about damage on transit. I got a 180cm by 40 cm done up with a bleed effect and it cost less then 200. Probably much cheaper now.

Barnes never reffs the offside and only reffs the roll away. This is well known and you have to play the ref. Ireland played naively and defensively passively to allow a team which has at best 5 players who would make out starting 15 be in with a shout at the end. Got what we deserved IMO.

Too early for conor o Shea I feel. I'd love to see Joe Schmidt given a run at it but he'd scare the pants off the blazers.

where is a good place to get photos put on canvass?

Don't do it!!! The process removes anything resembling sharpness (of course it's fine if you have a crappy unsharp photo to begin with )

Photobox are reasonable.

That 1 person will obviously be from an ancient unbroken line of Mayans who have been preparing for this for thousands of years. He will wear a tshirt with a "We fucking told you so" slogan on it.

Science could be immensely improved if every interview with a scientist was concluded with something along the lines of 'and finally Dr Hopfermeier, what does your research mean with regard to zombies eating brainzzzz?'

Be interesting to see who Liverpool play in the semis. Will be big underdogs either way I'd say.

I am interested to see are Sporting just that much better than everyone else because given how well we did in the last game I think it could be the case. I would expect Barcelona are probably on a similar level but that Sporting side was as good as I have ever seen watching youth football.

[Flushdraw]

I'd say this took a bit of time. WP the guy tho!

[oleras]

Speaking of ROG, while the game was obviously up and it probably would have made no difference, was anyone else extremely annoyed by his restart after the 1/2penny penalty?

He basically kicked it long and deep when we absolutely had to compete for possession! Risk it not going 10, and at least we get a chance at a scrum.

Listen to the ref from 9.15, wasnt an option.

I've no idea how they lost to an Inter side that Spurs hammered though, although youth football is a variable thing I guess. Hopefully whoever they we in the semis it will be a close game (unless we hammer them ).

[Bubbleking]

Did the welsh dude get cited for dumping Mcfadden or was Ferris' citing a justification for a shite wayne Barns decision?

[Icarus152]

massively exploited by Western powers, horrendous occupation by Japan , vicious civil warfare, manmade famine, Cultural Revolution, one party oppression, enforced sterilisations etc etc

I've been thinking about this today,I'm afraid I can't see China here.The question implies a degree of victimisation,the Korean War and China's actions in Tibet make them more of an aggressor than victim.

going to the cinema with gf later - film recommendations please?

They were missing three key players that night (One of which is the lad we signed ). It was a watered logged pitch not conducive to passing the ball. From what I read Sporting still dominated the game but Inter had 10 men behind the ball and hit them on the break to score.

It has been a really great competition which was badly needed at youth level. Interest should only grow with United and Real two of the clubs supposedly already signed up to join next year along with others.

If Shame is still out see that, although be prepared to feel very inadequate afterwards. Think "Martha Marcy May Marlene" is out today- meant to be decent too.

Can't imagine it would cost any more than about €10-€12

I know the Number 4 bus goes past it. There's a stop on O Connell Bridge and Trinity College

Spurs match was a quarter final. Liverpool lost (somehow) but went through after Spurs withdrew after they said they played an ineligible player in the match.

Nicely done by blaaaaaah little score for a few who had a piece too. Wp

Ah, didn't hear about the ineligible player and that they withdrew, excellent stuff. Was shocking how we lost that match in the first place.

This is a clip of the 15 best goals from the Sporting Lisbon side in the competition. Take into account most of these players are 17/18 year old kids!

The striker who scores a good few of the goals, Betinho is a future superstar imo.

Capello just resigned as England Manager

What about Harry

[one ill cat]

Talking of asking for discounts / haggling, I was thinking about this over the past weekend. On Saturday I wandered into town looking to buy a pair of boots; I actually tried a few weeks ago but was horrified at the poor service I received in the shops I visited around Henry St and it put me off shopping. Anyhow this time I decided to try around Grafton St and sure enough, found more attentive staff and as a result, wanted to make a purchase or two.

Eventually found a really nice pair of black Caterpillar boots, priced at €165 - they didn't have my exact size in so didn't buy at the time, but given they aren't on sale and are pricey enough (for me anyhow!), it is worth asking for a discount for paying in cash? Is it standard enough to do so? I usually get my clothes / shoes in sales so don't often pay full 'chump' price anyhow!

Before you buy in town, & as you already know your size, have a look at http://www.mandmdirect.com/
I've been getting stuff from them for years & would recommend them, never had any probs.

[Icarus152]

The cast of Friends have really let themselves go since series finished.

[dazzler]

Presumably Capello's next move is to actually move in with JT and live as husband and wife. The lengths he has gone to to protect a player who frankly isn't that good is just baffling

I'm guessing it is the principle of the FA doing it over his head, as well as the innocent until guilty aspect of it that annoyed him so much. The FA probably wanted him to publicly apologise and he told them where to jump, and rightly so.

[The Situation]

After the incredible job he's done for Manchester United over the years, there's really only one man for the job.
