    Default Alan Ball

    I was going to post this in the footy thread, then I thought it deserved a thread of it's own.

    World Cup winner Alan Ball has died of a heart attack at the age of 61.

    Ball was the youngest member of the England side that won the World Cup in 1966 and went on to win 72 caps.

    and a Bolton lad to boot (sic)

    RIP Alan, off to play in the great stadium in the sky.
    There are times I wish they’d just ban everything- baccy and beer, burgers and bangers, and all the rest- once and for all. Instead, they creep forward one apparently tiny step at a time. It’s like being executed with a bacon slicer.

    “Politics is the art of looking for trouble, finding it whether it exists or not, diagnosing it incorrectly, and applying the wrong remedy.”

    To learn who rules over you, simply find out who you are not allowed to criticise.

    "The purpose of a university education for Left / Liberals is to attain all the politically correct attitudes towards minorties, and the financial means to live as far away from them as possible."

    He's up there in the sky, playing a harp. And maybe drinking piña coladas while getting pleased by women a dozen at a time.
    Emotion, passions, and desires are, thus peace is not.
    Emotion: you have it or it has you.
