You were quick off the mark there Fozz!
Realised as soon as it was posted that it was in early 90 and then edited the post.

My mind is in overdrive, I aint slept a wink all night, going through my insomniac phase

Aye, been there.
Can appreciate what it is like.
I found getting out, keeping busy etc helped.
Fresh air at the coast late in the afternoon always seems to knock me out.

Just realised though - the edit was done well before your reply.

Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.

We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders fields.

Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.

Well, I'm charging my camera!

Planning on taking it out with me tomorrow, I'm doing the MetroCentre, Newcastle, Gateshead and Chester. I know it's not much, but I think I'll just do Newcastle, as Gateshead Interchange and the MetroCentre seem to be riddled with 'security'!

Metrocentre isn't riddled with security? Gatehsead is though.

Marcus, You should be fine if your somewhere safe, last time I was there I stood near where the taxi pick up / drop off is behind the railings and I had no bother and I was there for a while too. The footpath where the drop off stands should be okay too.

I hate the MetroCentre...

Infact I wonder if I am still banned from the place, was caught thieving from HMV in 2011, bit of a misunderstanding really, had bought a few DVDs, got to the tills, paid for 2 and walked with another, as I was concentrating on a a phone call at the same time, I bagged all 3, continued my phonecall and walked out...

Got collared 2 days later, I was seen on CCTV walking out with that other DVD, although the police and HMV staff accepted my story, I took an official caution and fixed penalty for the soul reason that once I realised I decided not to go back and tell them, which was a stupid thing

I hate the Metrocentre when its busy, if I head up there tomorrow I will be getting a Greggs pasty and some cans of Cherry Coke from Poundworld then jump straight on a bus out of there.

I cannot stand the place. I hate how big it is, I can get lost just about time I go past Vision Express!

I rarely go beyond the bus station to be honest! If I go with my family, we seem to do a tour of the place!

I used to get lost all the time when I got towards House of Frasier instead of turning to head towards HMV, I would always end up going down to where Topman is.

It is big, I hate that it is all indoors so when you finally get outside the air just hits you as the heating is always cranked up high in the Metrocentre (I imagine it is to get you to buy drinks in the shops / cafes)

This may be better in tbe politics thread...if so can a move it please...

Just seen on the news the government are talking about revoking the passports of British Born Jihadis who go and fight with IS on Iraq and Syria.

I am all for tough sanctions against these people, infact wiping them out completely ruled out in my opinion.

Would the Gov't not be skating on thin ice here, would actions like this not cause a problem with groups like the EU or UN...

What happens if a terrorist is made stateless and no other state wants them...

I don't think they can legally do it. It took them 10 years to deport a single extremist.

(14 Nov 2014, 6:32 pm)aureolin wrote I don't think they can legally do it. It took them 10 years to deport a single extremist.

So if they go ahead with it, are opening up one massive can of worms legally and politically...

Where will it stop, will they decide to revoke the passports of people committing petty crime.

The thing I find distrubing is what to do with stateless people, no country in there right mind would have them, so would they eventually end up holed in Airports with nowhere to go(the last place you want a terrorist) or holed up in various embassies ala Julian Assange...

What would it mean for extradition, if the govt are struggling to get rid of someone and are having trouble doing so, can they just revoke the passport and get rid that way...

Personally I say hand them over to Uncle Sam and let the Americans sort them out, I am sure the Americans will find space in a small part of Cuba
