reach out to the Taliban eh? my advice is to reach out and strangle the b**tards one by one, failing that do what politicians always do in Afghanistan and buy them off. $$$$'s, aircon, satellite TV, landcruisers and porn is what I hear they usually go for, being the pure…

likeitis: the threat from North Korea against airliners is an implied one. You are smart enough to work out what saying that they "cannot guarantee the safety" of air traffic means. If the reason was a missile test - well, they tested missiles before, didn't they, and never warned about…

Only the deluded pygmies in charge of North Korea could have enough stupidity to "demand" aid be sent on the one hand and then threaten to shoot down airliners full of innocent civilians if a few defence exercises take place. There really is very little reasoning with such people -…

Well, if people start using alternatives to the toilet when they are on board - who's O'Leary going to blame then?

More likely, people will stop buying his overpriced drinks when in flight - the net effect being a loss of revenue, i.e. precisely the opposite to what he's try…

Is it really any surprise that the bible-thumper states are more keen on capital punishment? Not really. Ignorant, superstitious people are easy to fool and quick to support "righteous" barbarity.

Good luck to the more civilised areas of America to convince these people otherwise. There is no evidence that the…

I'm sure it won't be long before some Boston-based apologist for these murdering scum comes along and starts talking about the "nobility" of gunning down innocent people in a fight that the IRA have already lost

It may be a fair result if they could not substantiate the story with clear evidence - whatever the actual facts may be. But for a witness to baldly state that no match fixing goes on in sumo (which everyone seems to doubt) is uneccesary and simply provokes inevitable scorn…

dreamdrifter - the British Government owns many of the trains in the UK and leases them to the rail service operators for long periods to provide the rail services. That's why it is their decision on which trains to buy. They made British production & assembly a condition of the…

Great! More baby-seal-face antics from Aya Ueto. As an idol, she is cute and iconic, but how anyone can take this woman seriously as an actress is way beyond me. She's way up there with the likes of Ebi-chan in terms of acting ability.

My prediction - lots of tears,…
