Are you nominating the weather then Paulco?! Absolutely . We're supposed to have speedway back this Sunday , so we dont need the track under a blanket of snow . Just shows the official start of the season should be kept at March 15, with most tracks actually opening in the final week of March. Why open the season at a time when it's cold enough outside to freeze your bits off - it's hardly going to encourage large opening night attendances.

If anyone would like to nominate the fuckwits who climbed one of our cranes in Parliament Square today - risking their own lives and causing vast amounts of hassle to other individuals, then I promise you it will be given all due consideration. The annoying this is, I sympathise utterly with their cause, just not the way in which they have tried to get their message across. If it had been Fathers 4 justice or the No 3rd runway mob I would nominate them, but like you I agree with them. So I nominate Gordon Brown for being even worse at running the country than Tony B Liar. Thieving Jockanese toerag deserves far more than a flapperjack award, but it will be a good start.

Small-minded little Englanders who are no doubt happy to enjoy their holiday homes in France and Spain and the benefits of de-regulated air travel, but apparently don't want foreigners in this country. No one would deny that EU is far from perfect, but referendums are no way to make sensible decisions about anything.

The EU is far from perfect, but thats not the point.
Tony B Liar and his tampax Brown promised a referendum on the European constitution. Brussels changes about 10 words, the title and Brown says its a new document. Well bollocks to that, I would like a free and fair vote on it, after all we do live in a democracy, dont we?

I would like a free and fair vote on it It won't be an intelligent vote though, and every EU government knows this. That's why they're trying to pass it off as something else, although it matters not a jot because the EU constitution already largely exists as a collection of disparate treaties. The UK would undoubtedly reject the constitution in a referendum, but then what? The existing treaties would still apply, so where will that get us except more of confused muddle? Better to be inside pissing out, than outside trying to piss in.

I believe in Europe, I believe in European integration, which I accept is a minority view, but that's because British politicians are too cowardly to make the case for Europe. So, the likes of Blair and Brown, both political cowards obsessed with remaining in their ivory towers, end up fudging the issue - cowering like timid mice in the face of Rupert Murdoch's The Sun.

that's because British politicians are too cowardly to make the case for Europe. It's not just British politicians. The EU constitutional efforts failed because national politicians continually use the EU as a scapegoat for their own failures. Any unpopular legislation that they wish/needs to be introduced is blamed on 'Brussels' (e.g. the supposed enforced move to the metric system), when the fact is that national governments all have to consent to it in the first place. Is it any wonder then, that the electorate bites them on the arse when they try to sell more of the EU to them? There are plenty of positive things the EU has achieved, but no-one will look beyond pathetic tabloid scarcemongering unless politicians take more responsibility. Anyway, perhaps we should move this discussion to a thread on its own in the politics section?

It may all turn-out to be an Orkney-style satanic paedophile ring that was apparently the figment of someone's fevered imagination.

Has to be the group of "men" who gang raped a woman, in front of her children, in her own home, and then posted it on youtube. And the 600 sickos who watched it before it was removed.

Come on guys - start casting around for some serious SPEEDWAY candidates for this week eh? I'm firmly in the camp with those who think this should be speedway related, so whilst it'll go to the most deserving candidate if there aren't enbough speedway ones, I'd much rather it was, if you get my drift!
