Quite possibly - a tree a few hundred years old will store a lot of carbon. However, the release of that carbon I'd have thought would also be released more slowly as the wood rots down - the tree will last a lot longer than a cabbage rotting for instance. It's also eaten by insects and thus...

Now there's a Morrisey album! It's just got me asking so many questions now. Would coleslaw be mass murder/serial killing given it would have a large number of individual victims? Is a combine harvester a WMD?

The problem with Clarke wasn't that he was rubbish, just not as good as he was hyped up to be when he was coming through, especially at a time when we'd produced a few half-decent full backs and he was supposedly the best of the lot. We've had worse. Willis looked shit for quite a while (albeit...

What I don't understand is that if we're sending him on trial with a view to a permanent transfer and the thing with MR is true, why did we bother activating his year extension? Why not just release him? I've also assumed that Bilson from last years U18 was given a contract as he's been moved...

Not unless we've got more add-ons in terms of appearances/goals for Bournemouth, but unlikely to be anything like the amounts we could get if he's sold.

It's far too early to judge but Jobello has looked good in terms of crossing in the highlights thus far and can see him getting the LW position. I think MR will be spending a lot of pre-season trying out Hiwula, Baka, Chaplin and Max up front to see who feeds the best off the wide men and the...

Are they your solicitors?

Did it for years but stopped a couple of years ago because it became like Football Manager - an addiction that was taking up far too much time. Every season I'd get knackered by an injury to someone but when they changed it to allowing transfers anytime rather than in specific windows (which...

It's a game I just can't get the rules - it just seems like you're not allowed to take the ball off someone at all and they'll find some spurious reason to give it back to the player. Bit like in infant school when a kid was given a ball and they didn't throw it or kick it properly so they were...

Rugby and football were the big ones for us as well because the PE teachers were more into it. X Country was also a big thing. We did play cricket and tennis but for nowhere near the same amount of time dedicated to the others. I think part of it is also the kit - getting changed into the pads...

I reckon they recorded it as well as a 'just in case' should the live pictures have failed/broken up. Imagine the conspiracy theories had they gone up, not had any pictures and said " we did go up there, you've just got to take our word for it"? For me the fact the Russians didn't dispute it...

The thing about buring biofuels is fine, but when you eat the grain crops it's still environmentally unfriendly because you get more gas build up which is then expelled. This also includes methane which is a lot worse than CO2 in terms of climate change. So if we do switch to a wholly plant...

I've always wondered why it is that we find stuff like cakes, crisps, chocolate, chips and other stuff that's so bad for us tasty but healthy stuff quite bland? You'd have thought evolution would've got rid of people like me long ago for the health freaks. Or is it just that they're far too new...

While there is land being cleared for cattle grazing, esp in developing countries, there is far more being cleared for agricultural crops and becoming monocultures like the vast expanses of rapeseed fields you see as you drive through the country are just as damaging to the environment just in a...

It's not a bad idea, but because they are competitive games the teams will be worried they'd be overloading the players too early with the intensity and potentially causing injuries. So to avoid that they've then got to start pre-season even earlier and the players barely get a break. Unless...

Very disappointing both for him and us that he's ended up just joining another L1 rival, for whatever reason. I think the Championship interest was there, but interest does not equate to offers. I think there are a few question marks over him regarding fitness, height etc that put them off and...

For me it was the "oh" preceding it like it was a casual everyday thing that was barely worth mentioning that made it particularly enjoyable.

And people wonder why some don't bother with the football on this forum. I talk formations, tactics, signings and my most liked post thus far involves the sexual flexibility of a bird of prey! Marvellous!

Are you sure you heard that correctly? Sounds like a euphemism to me...

Great thing about owls though - any position you like and still maintain eye contact.
