Anything and Everything - MrFozz - 16 Sep 2015

Could it be said the Soviet-Afghan War and Iran-Iraq War in the 80's be a factor in where we now found ourselves...

How true is it that the CIA were heavily arming Mujahid Fighters, I know Hollywood can twist things till it is unrecognisable, but that was what was put across in the film Charlie Wilsons war and people have hinted, that the outcome of the Soviet-Afghan war directly led to the rise of the Taliban, al-Qaeda and 9/11...

While talking about Iran-Iraq, was that the conflict that nearly finished Reagen after it was discovered he was arming Iran to fund a seperate insurgency somewhere

(16 Sep 2015, 7:24 pm)aureolin I don't believe it is. Most countries in the agreement would actually stand to lose from a lot more if they were booted out of the EU. The only way it'd be under threat is if a powerhouse like Germany put up controls, but they're in fact doing the opposite.

The heavy handed approach by Hungary is frankly shocking in my opinion, in what is supposed to be a modern world.

Germany put controls up over the weekend.
I think Austria have done it too.

I think they can only do it on a temp basis.

Noticed we're on 999 threads so I think the thousandth should be one revealing the new mod.

Problem there is it would go out of the window if someone creates another thread before the announcement for the new forum mod is ready to be made and we don't really know how close the decision of who to make the new mod is yet.

Would be a good touch, but Jimmi is right...

Now it has been mentioned, some awkward sod I wouldn't be surprised if someone created the 1000th just to stop Dan Picks idea happening Big Grin

Of course I'm right

Sure enough that idea has now totally gone out of the window.

The term 'famous last words' come to mind...

I get the earlier one just incase!

Also, there's 43 people in my class....

I used to get the 8:42-ish from Felling for a 9am lecture. Packed like sardines, nose to armpit, it was.

If I had to do that journey again (shudder) I'd have to get an earlier one if only because I can't walk anything like so fast up past the Herschel building, any more.

I get the 8:35am metro from Sunderland or Northern, gets me to Newcastle Central for 9:05amish - 10 minute walk to the college - so its not bad at all.


RE: Anything and Everything - Michael - 22 Sep 2015

Sunderland are fucking shit, only know because my dad came up and told me haha
