In reality, if Iran lauched a nuclear strike it would probably be taken out by missile defence systems elsewhere. There would be fallout but not world-destroying. on the other hand, if the US, say, decided to retaiate, there might not be much left of Iran.

Let me think about this...
1) hardly at all these days. I generally wait for the QOTW to close and then read the best of. I don't usually waste my time reading the day-to-day crap, which is tedious in itself, but when accompanied by the usual heckling from people who don't even contribute in the first place I start to lose the will to live.

2)It's entirely possible. However Iran aren't stupid. They couldn't possibly win a face-to-face conflict with the US Navy. I think if push came to shove the Shermans would want to avoid putting permanent boots on the ground so would opt for airstrikes and special forces raids only. That's assuming that Israel doesn't get there first. In the meantime they will continue to try to destabilise the Iranian government, which is probably their best bet.

3)Piers Morgan. This requires no further explanation.

Piers is alright. I quite like him.
I like the interview series he has on ITV1. Fascinating people he has on that.

Piers just comes across as a tosser to me, but I don't really give one beyond that.

I was being facetious. He is a massive gaylord.
He is a child molestor. Fact. He fucks kiddies.

The sarcasm in your post

( Agnostic Antichrist Baltimora, Wed 1 Feb 2012, 11:26, Reply)

I thought so.
I have to say that there are few people that engender such massive hatred in me but he is one. I think I could actually kill him. Choke the cunt to death.

You could say:
I will bow to your superior knowledge on these matters, tangled, as I clearly lack proper understanding.
( tangledupinblue hairy badge with moving eyes, Wed 1 Feb 2012, 12:16, Reply)

Definitely not
if a 'proper understanding' includes an appreciation of Bob Dylan, I think I'd rather be tone-deaf

Different disciplines
One of the interesting things about Starkey was his left-handedness, meaning he often led fills with the other hand from that which a RH drummer would.
( tangledupinblue hairy badge with moving eyes, Wed 1 Feb 2012, 12:08, Reply)

Another interesting thing about him is that he's a big-nosed turd.

I never refuted the turd claim

But he didn't play drums on Rain (although his bass on that is superb)

In order
1) Yes I do
2) Specifically with Iran? No, However I do think that the rise of religious fundamentalism (of all flavours) all over the world will cause some serious problems - it'll only take one nutter to press the button.
3) Simon Cowell and everything he's spawned.

I haven't posted on QOTW for a good while, and only occaisonally read it
If we had wars with all the mental countries of the world, we would be fighting ourselves too. Leave the twats alone, I don't really want them special delivering a dirty bomb to the heart of London.

I like Octopuss' Garden, a jaunty song for a fucked up world. There are plenty of bigger turds knocking about.

it is a bit like treacle on here at the moment, treacle
maybe vipros posted a lot more than i thought.

/qotw - if i had a suitable story, yes. but it does seem as if most of the point these days is for someone to post something ridiculous that then sucks in a big wet flapping fish like janet which then gets the OP to say that they were doing it on purpose to suck in a big wet flapping fish like janet when clearly they weren't. it's hard to say whether the bait or the fish is more tiresome.

iran - depends how much oil and airspace they have. but yes, i think so.

ringo - oh come on, there are much more massive turds than him. how about robert maxwell, for starters. and piers morgan. and max clifford.
