The Cramps (the band, and non-QPR obviously)

The album version of this beauty is OK but this version of Rockin' Bones by The Cramps is fantastic. Brownie points if they pull this one out.

The First 3 Black Sabbath Albums will never be matched and should be used as a measurement of natural disasters (as quoted by Henry Rollins). The new album was never going to touch their legacy. It doesn't match up. Surprising as the stuff the band did with Dio as Heaven & Hell a couple of years ago is great. The last truly brilliant music they all made was with Dio with the Sabbath 'Heaven & Hell' and 'Mob Rules' albums.

BRING BACK THE DEATH PENALTY
at 17:15 23 May 2013

I don't think you've understood my "people in power" statement. I wasn't saying that lords would be executed due to expenses. I was highlighting that if you give anyone the power to execute people that power will be abused over a long enough period by current or future officials.

Morals should be taken in to account when handing out a punishment as that is what makes us different from the people who commit the crimes.

Children and innocent people are killed across the world every day in many different cultures and many different ways. Its an awful place this world, and we're lucky enough to be located in a civilized part.

Again, I don't know what evidence there is for people en masse enjoying prison or prison life.

Obviously we're not going to change a lot of opinions here but its been a pleasure exchanging views. Healthy debate is a plus of this society too :)

Of course they would feel that way. Who wouldn't feel that way? That isn't the point though. You're talking about bringing the death penalty back as a society that has already condemned it, not as a knee-jerk reaction of the few.

How in a morally-progressive society can a human not take the time to warm their milk before pouring it over their Weetabix?

Do away with society and we'll return to our caves, weathered clubs in hand, huddled over a wheat biscuit smothered in stone-cold milk.

BRING BACK THE DEATH PENALTY
at 16:07 23 May 2013

Its a mixed message because by condemning murder you saying that we as a society are above it, and then using it to your own ends. How can morally justify killing someone who has killed?

Allowing the state to legally kill someone could be taken advantage of by anyone in power. Surely there are enough shady things going on in the background with expenses and tax-cuts for people to see how simple it would be to get the red-tape untangled for someone in a position of power if a death sentence would work in the favour of a particular party, etc.

Forgive me, Mr Wombat, if I don't fully trust any of the recent government parties with the economy, NHS, or infrastructure to even think for a second they'd be able to maintain a faultless death sentence initiative.

I don't know if they'd show any regret. Ultimately, I and nobody else knows. Perhaps over time given the chance. Certainly not if they were killed though.

I can say it's a civilized society because of the reaction of this society at something of this nature. If this were shrugged off, then it wouldn't be a civilized society.

You cannot bring back something like the death penalty for "special cases". Having that kind of power removed is the sign of a progressive society. There are too many ways something like that can be taken advantage of. There is no bigger mixed message than punishing murder with murder.

Also, it implies that death is the worst outcome of all. Whatever your beliefs of the afterlife are I'd rather someone be kept alive to at least be given the chance to regret and suffer.

I don't know where this "prison is a holiday camp" stuff comes from either. No amount of supposed widescreen televisions or hot meals could make up for having your freedoms within a civilized society taken away.

Can I ask what you found verging towards offensive about the portrayal of disability? Not being antagonistic, just heard a lot of people saying this and haven't found much in the way of that in the programme myself.

I bite my tongue on a daily basis around Man Utd, Arsenal, Liverpool, and Tottenham fans who regurgitate the media's views on the problems with QPR after every weekend, and then look surprised when I mention that their beloved teams are playing in Europe that week. You'd think they were dyed-in-the-wool when their teams get a high-profile win though.

"Oh really? Thanks for that. I'll see if I can watch that later."

Whilst we're on the blues kick this is a cracking tune written and performed by two lovely hard-rocking ladies. As a fellow admirer of flame-haired temptresses the drummer may interest MetallicaHoop.

Well I suppose in the immediate sense I was thinking of English players he had bought like Jenkinson, Walcott, Oxlade-Chamberlain, etc. Their academy is just a high quantity/low quality money spinner most of the time but produces the likes of Bothroyd, Connolly, Simpson, and those are just the players that we've picked up. A bit of research may uncover more but in the meantime it just seems a bit harsh when he always seemed like he was balancing the books between foreign and homegrown.
