Let me say that again...on a point of principle!

I never, ever thought I would see a politician doing the honourable thing again.

Your country's government has a cabinet level position for SPORTS?!

Meanwhile here in the US the Head Looney-Toon In Charge had this to say....

Trump: Republicans attacked as 'racist' only because they're winning

Quote:

“You know the word ‘racist’ is used about every Republican that’s winning,” he told Christian Broadcasting Network’s Jenna Browder en route to a campaign rally in Florida. “Anytime a Republican is leading, they take out the ‘R’ word, the ‘racist’ word. And I’m not anti-immigrant at all.”

We're all fat and we keep losing, even at tiddlywinks. Something had to be done.

I'm glad she converted

She

had a part in ruining the career of Andrew Dice Clay who's comedy wasn't exactly PC and sexist but not meant to be taken serious, great she joined Islam

She

who is Irish Catholic and slagged The Pope, well, I don't want her in my faith

Good Luck to her I say

Bing have made a fundamental change to their search engine - it now tries to act as "host" to videos rather than open up the actual hosting site be it pornhub or youtube. It's horrible. Picture search now designed for mobile devices as well

Yes it does allow you to go to host page but only after you open it in bing.

I'd say Sinéad O'Connor is a mentally ill person and has been for years. Only a mentally weak and totally messed up person would convert to Islam. It's perfect for those who seek "guidance" and strong authority to submit to because they're uncapable of getting their shit together.

Not quite - the Secretary of State is for Culture, Media and Sport with ministerial levels for the sub divisions. It is important to support and encourage sporting endeavour, facilities etc.

Naughty Scoundrel - you know that's not true. We do pretty well at sport considering it's a small nation. Second at the Olympics wasn't it?

And the world's fastest driver.

Driving fast is less a sport and more a job skill for a criminal.

Those of us that aren't fat losers and ride bikes seem to be quite good at it.

First nation to win Vuelta, Giro and Tour in same year with three different riders on top of all the track success

For me driving is not even a sport, particularly F1 - more of an expensive engineering contest. The car is the thing that really counts, not the driver. If he's so fucking good let see him start at the back in a shit car like some of his so called 'rivals'.

hmm... didn't Cassius Clay convert to Islam?
