Posted in: Eagles plan massive 'Hotel California' performances on tour See in context

I saw the Eagles in '77 on the "Hotel California" tour - only cost £2 for the ticket. They were excellent but even then they were a bit dated with the arrival of punk.

I can't imagine why anyone would pay a fortune to see one of them and a bunch of session men in 2020

Most Irish I know pity Britons these days. Things have changed.

Nonsense - the Irish economy is in utter ruins and they've even had to borrow money from we Brits as well as the EU - if it had been up to me they'd have got nothing.

Posted in: Nara schoolgirl arrested for drug possession See in context

so sorry fleetwood, if you are a drug addict, do not be surprised if your OWN KIDS or GRANDKIDS rat you out, narc on you and let you clean in behind bars.

I know my kids tried drugs [just like I did when I was young] but I didn't call in the Drug Police to ruin their lives and sure enough they got past that phase and have gone on to be very successful both academically and professionally.

But if you want to run squealing to the woodentops the first time one of your kids does something you don't like by all means do so.

Loyalty to your own is more important than any stupid law.

No way would I rat on one of my kids - no matter what they'd done or to whom they'd done it,

Peeping progresses to groping and that can eventually progress to assault/murder. Of course, not every guy trying to grab an upskirt snap is going to assault someone, but these kinds of crimes can progress to much more severe stuff if the perps aren't caught. Usually when the more minor crime becomes less satisfying.

Where is the evidence for this assertion?

Posted in: Texan declared innocent after 30 years in prison See in context

Looks like much-maligned Texas is far more "progressive" than ppl realize.

I never thought I'd see the words "Texas" and "progressive" in the same sentence.

I wonder how they compensate all the innocent people they execute?

I met him in a music shop in his home town a few years ago - we argued about the chords for "Stuck in The Middle" I'm sure he wasn't playing it right.

This is good news after 13 years of Labour insanity and my only criticism is that not enough is being done to hammer these thriftless and work-shy malingerers- I loathe the poor and long for their extermination.

Webber's OK for a No2 [as he said himself] - He was going nowhere until Red Bull bought Jaguar and got Adrian Newey in as a designer.

As for my knowledge of F1 - at least I knew enough to know that KK wasn't a rent a driver

Great, solid drive from Mark! He knows this consistency will get him that title. No need to take risks now. As for Kobayashi - he is a quite all over the place in most races - and crashes a lot - it's lucky he brings millions of $$$ with him to get a drive.

Kobayashi was the driver of the day in most opinions and he's not a pay driver .Given the superiority of the car he is driving Mark Webber might have been World Champion by now if he was half as good as KK.

Its about time we ended this stupid and dangerous sport. Motorcycles should be banned.

Nonsense - no one is forced to ride a motorbike. If you think it's dangerous don't go on one but don't make lifestyle decisions for anyone other than yourself

radical Islam is the greatest threat to global security.

He said al-Qaida-linked extremism was “loosely a global ideological movement, but Iran is a state sponsor of it.”

SO why did the stupid numpty invade Iraq if he thinks Iran is the problem?
