    Then you must hate Barca for taking away the only guy in Celtic who was their match winner , henrik larson  biggrin_o.gif .

    Nah, Celtic fans are in love with Barca just now. You should see the number of kids with 'Larsson 7' Barca shirts over here!

    In fact, there's even some formal agreement between the clubs to lend out players on loan.

    I can quite easily believe Bush was wired during the debate just as he was proven to be wired during his D-Day address and press conference in France.  

    Anyone have links to the D-Day footage? I remember watching it and wondering if he was repeating the lines somehow, but just dismissed it as some technical glitch.

    Would be interesting to see it again.

    Like I said. It also helps to either have someone reward or reward yourself (not that kinda reward ya sickos...well...unless you want that as your reward...).

    Yep, i agree. I used the quitnet counter thingy to track how much i was saving. I then went out and bought a new digital camera with what i'd saved.

    The 'carrot' of more money, and the 'stick' of poor health/lung cancer worked for me! biggrin_o.gif

    Thanks for the advice mate! Goooood stats too!

    I'll join up right away - allthough I have to admit I'm not having great difficulties so far - apart from being slightly edgy!

    Aye, the stats are good....but i'd like to know what the hell i did with that extra Å2500! biggrin_o.gif

    How long have you been quit for? The first 1-2 weeks are the worst....after that - you've got it beat (barring major slip-ups).

    Another good site.

    And know thy enemy....

    First of all - well done! Making the decision is the biggest of all! biggrin_o.gif

    I recommend signing up at Quitnet. There's loads of info, and people who will cheer you on in 'support groups' like only our American cousins can! The best thing about the site though is the quit-counter thing. Here's my 'stats'....

    Quote[/b] ]Your Quit Date is:  12/17/2002 8:00:00 PM  

    Time Smoke-Free: 658 days, 22 hours, 29 minutes and 35 seconds    

    Cigarettes NOT smoked: 11202  

    Lifetime Saved:  2 months, 25 days, 13 hours  

    Money Saved: Å2,520.68

    Also, i got Nicotene Patches free from our National Health Service. I reccommend them....they really helped me.

    Good luck!   wink_o.gif

    Edit: Just noticed the topic title also mentioned quiting alchohol...... why in god's name would you want to do that? That concept just doesn't compute over here in Glasgow  biggrin_o.gif

    I am against hunting so telling THEM brits that hunting is wrong is stupid as most of us know it is.

    Never been never will go, have you been sounds like you have once but maybe you didnt like it?

    Sorry, i think i'm getting you mixed up with someone else. Last time i was around here, i recall someone with an avatar like yours being a big BNP fan. BNP voters are not renowned for their ability to be open minded about what a 'Brit' is. biggrin_o.gif

    Anyway...my point is that you can't just dismiss 'Hunting with dogs' as a "toff" thing. This ban will affect people on all rungs of the socio-economic ladder. The ones with most to lose are on the farm workers etc.

    My Grandpa was known for his smacks into faces of hunters when they werent able to kill an animal with the first shot.

    So what did he do when he himself only mortally wounded the animal, allowing it to escape before he could fire a 2nd shot? Did he beat himself up with guilt? Perhaps he attended some hunters counselling sessions?   wink_o.gif  tounge_o.gif

    I agree with you but its not us brits it's them toffs.

    I think you'll find "them toffs" are Brits too. Or maybe not...how are things down at the BNP social club these days anyway?

    I sometimes go fishing with my friends, however i don't really fish, i just sit next to them and drink beer, play cards and smoke weird stuff...

    So you participated in an unneccessary, cruel bloodsport....but that's ok, as you didn't enjoy it!?  biggrin_o.gif

    Please explain how Fishing is legally justifiable, yet Foxhunting isn't?

    Hands up who liked seeing those posh dickheads get a smacking form the police.

    The irony is that the "dickheads" getting smashed in the face weren't the aristocracy or 'posh' people. The militant protesters were mostly the working class people employed by the foxhunting industry. I.e. the people with most to lose - their livelyhoods.

    Quote[/b] ]I think it should be banned, its not like shooting, its a group of guys chasing an animal down, cornering it and watching dogs tear it apart.

    So your objection to it is based on it being cruel to animals? In that case, where is your moral outrage towards Fishing...or animal testing....or factory farming?

    Quote[/b] ]The only reason its still legal is because its the sport of the upper class, if they liked cock fighting or badger baiting that'd probably still be legal too.

    Ahh, now you agree that this is a class issue, and little to do with animal cruelty? Let's remember, we're talking...what... 50 foxes killed in hunts each year?

    Quote[/b] ]The reason the country side alliance get so pissed off about it is because most of them think they should be allowed to do what they want, regardless of what the rest of the country thinks about it.

    So fishing is ok, because it's a working class sport accessible to everyone? Is that how we judge the legality of unneccessary, cruel bloodsports - how popular they are?  rock.gif

    It's disgusting to hunt something down and let it get ripped to pieces... Only fucked up ppl would do something like that.  If you want to control a population then a professional should take care of it with a gun.  

    It's a lot cleaner, the fox dies straightaway (i don't want them do die but if they cause problems to nature then i guess it has to happen) and the professional can decide what fox should get killed and what fox should stay alive.  I don't think the hunters really give a fuck about what fox they kill...

    I take it you don't eat fish then? As fishing causes unneccessary pain and suffering on the animal. Should we ban fishing too (the UK's most popular sport)? In fact i bet you have friends or family who go fishing. Are they "fucked up" people too?

    Also, what about that steak you ate last week. Can you be absolutely certain that the cow didn't feel any pain as the bolt was fired through its brain?

    I suppose it's hard to feel so morally outraged when Big Macs taste soooo good!  biggrin_o.gif  tounge_o.gif

    Hmm I thought that haggis is a dish made from a belly of a sheep, stuffed with something.

    Quote[/b] ]Haggis Myths

    A haggis is just a sheep’s stomach stuffed with meat and oatmeal.

    The most common mistaken belief about the haggis is that it is some kind of pudding made from sheep innards. This somewhat macabre idea dates back many centuries. Its origins lie in a Pictish fertility ceremony which featured a parade of creatures known to produce large numbers of offspring. The haggis was one such animal. However, as hunting techniques were not as sophisticated as they were then and - for reasons explained in The Haggis in Scotland’s History - haggis numbers were low, the Pictish priests often had to make do with a model for these ceremonies. Said model haggis was made from an inflated sheep bladder, hence the myth.

    This thread making you hungry? We Scots can fix that! scotland3.gif

    Why not try a lovely Haggis? The Haggis is a wild animal that lives in the Highlands of Scotland. The Haggis hunting season begins when they hatch (30 November) until 25 January. The 31st of December is particularly anticipated by Haggis hunters as it is when great herds of Haggii migrate north for winter.

    See the HaggisHunt site for more info.

    Or perhaps you'd prefer the healthy option?

    Quote[/b] ]New kebab dubbed most dangerous U.K. food

    GLASGOW, Scotland, Aug. 9 (UPI) -- "The Stonner", a 1,000-calorie, deep fried pork sausage kebab has been dubbed the most dangerous fast food in Britain.

    Sky News reported Monday the kebab contains 46 grams of fat and is double the calories of a Big Mac hamburger.

    However, the Ruby Chip Shop in Glasgow, Scotland, that sells the kebab has provided a health warning to customers: "Due to the severe health damage of this fine dish, we can only supply one Stonner supper per customer per week," reads the sign provided by the restaurant's owner, Saei Sangag.

    There were actually more spectators at the Italy game  wink_o.gif

    According to UEFA, the attendance was 16002. That's pathetic for such an important game for Italy. It seems the Italians prefer to stay at home accusing others of cheating  rock.gif

    thats because there was like 10 bulgarian fans maybe more

    Nah.... Italy has a population of 56 million, yet only 15,500 of their so-called football mad population can be bothered to turn up for a vital Euro Championship game? In my book, a country that supports their team as poorly as that doesn't have any right to expect to qualify.

    The Swedes, Danes and Latvians showed how to support your country. As did the English 40,000 who went to the Croatia game. (minus any hooligans of course)

    Quote[/b] ]but when the Italian national anthem came on, you could hear them all singing. I think the Italian national anthem is one of the best in the world.

    Not too aware of it, but does anyone else think that the Dutch anthem sounds a bit like 'The twelve days of Christmas'?   biggrin_o.gif

    I almost feel sorry for their team. As Italians by default expect them to win every tournament and they take the sport seriously, they're not very kind to losers.

    Personally I would have rather had the Italians in the quarters than the Danish..but hey, that's life.

    The Italians can take confort in that they can now fully enjoy the sport rather than worrying about their own team.

    But did you see how many empty seats there were in the stadium? Italy are one of Europes footballing superpowers, yet their fans can't be bothered to go an watch them play?

    Sweden and Denmark are comparitively small countries, yet their fans filled the ground and made a great atmosphere.

    The Italian fans (and team?) have become complacent. I think this kick in the arse will do them good  biggrin_o.gif

    Czech Rep. 2-1 !!

    I win the bet  biggrin_o.gif

    Seems like they can't handle pressure  tounge_o.gif

    Heh, me too! I had Å1 on Latvia winning at Half-Time, then the Czech Rep to win the game. 28-1 odds....now i wish i had bet my entire personal fortune on it  biggrin_o.gif

    Still can't decide who to go for tonight....The smart money is on The Netherlands, but i'm thinking Germany can pull off a shock...hmm.
