I am an aspiring politician. I am not the same as many of my colleagues. Many of my colleagues in Parliament need to apologise for the way they have acted. Equally, many of my colleagues are entirely honorable - although you will never read about them in the newspaper.by Red Sam - Off-Topic
BNP Councillors across the country are renouned for their stupidity and failure to represent the people who live where they represent (white or otherwise) With regard to MPs - look at the individual, not the party, because to be honest, all the parties are implicated in this one.by Red Sam - Off-Topic
Isn't it rather misguided to hate, you know, an entire country?? Anyway, I don't think Danica is all that. Average performance at best in one of the best teams in the IRLby Red Sam - F1
I don't think Rubens let anyone down today. He should have been switched to a two stop also - he had the cushion to do it.by Red Sam - F1
I think Ferrari need to clearly define what Schumacher is doing there every race. Its distracting otherwiseby Red Sam - F1
The treaty is genuinely an attempt to update the governance of the EU. The rules they work to now were designed for six members, now we are at 27 members, and the rules don't work. The media in the UK (and some of the politicians) are very different to Ireland - anything coming from Europe has to be an attempt to subvert our independence. Unfortunately it means that real debate on how theby Red Sam - Off-Topic
So, how far up the grid will Nelson Piquet get today?by Red Sam - F1
I did my degree in European Politics, and am very pro-EU, so I'm interested to see what people think. For those who think it makes us more of an EU Superstate, the treaty removes the previous commitment to "ever greater union", and enhances the concept of subsidiarity (i.e. sorting things as locally as possible)by Red Sam - Off-Topic

Vader, Do you think the SPD can regain popularity and win the next election, or will they continue to drop support to Die Linke? Do you think that Angela Merkel has a kind of quirky attractiveness about her...?by Red Sam - Off-Topic

Space for Armitage would be good. Who captains? It must be O'Driscoll or O'Connell, surely?by Red Sam - Other Sports
McLaren got themselves into a right mess with this, didn't they? However, the one thing that you can guarentee is that, whenever McLaren get into difficulities, Alonso will shoot his mouth off. If he was so worried, why didn't he say something at the time? Instead he chose to blackmail his team with information that he held - in fact, withheld - in order to improve his own positioby Red Sam - F1

Good 15, that. I might even take Chris Cusiter as the second scrum half, although others would have a strong claim. And somewhere for Chris Paterson in the wider squad?by Red Sam - Other Sports

Ads these days are also normally blatant copies of lesser known works off of YouTube or somesuch. Anyone who reads the Ad Nauseum column in Private Eye magazine will see lots of examples of this.by Red Sam - Off-Topic
Great game, great kick by Ronan O'Gara too. Surely the Irish lay claim to most of the central positions for the Lions tour now?by Red Sam - Other Sports
Interestingly, the gorilla ad won loads of awards, but evidence suggested that the sales of Dairy Milk didn't go up at all.by Red Sam - Off-Topic
You could be in a situation where Kimi wins 3 races and retires from 2 (30 points) and Massa finishes 2nd every time (40 points), yet Massa has to yield as he isn't winning races. Crazy.by Red Sam - F1
This is a stupid and unnecessary rule change - why not give the winner 12 points instead? Had this been last year, Massa would have won - but don't forget, only because Hamilton was penalised at Belgium! Whatever the wrongs or rights of that penalty, it would have decided the championship - what an awful way for the year to finish! It could happen again...by Red Sam - F1
Hulkenberg is of course so slow and useless when he tests for Williams that they have kept him on for another year... :\by Red Sam - F1
This is not a Government report. It is a report written by CABE to the Government. CABE is interested only in the architectural and built aspects of building developments. All they are saying, and all they are qualified to say, is that the Donington development is not utilising the space as well as it could from an architectural and long term built environment perspective. They can't commby Red Sam - F1

This is, unfortunately, what I have been predicting ever since manufacturer run teams began to be dominant in F1 5 or 6 years ago. F1 is fine while the economy is strong, but when things get more challenging, it is an expensive marketing exercise that they can do without. And what of the rest? Toyota now don't have their major rival to compete with... if BMW were to pull out, what is tby Red Sam - F1
Forgive me, but having checked the highway code, that round, blue sign with the red cross on it is described as "No Stopping (Clearway)". A round blue sign with only one red bar across it (i.e. "half" a cross) means No Waiting (commonly known as No Parking) If it isn't a UK sign, and doesn't mean the same thing, then fine (as I said in my first post), but in the Uby Red Sam - Off-Topic
