Such predictions are nonsense. Evolutionary changes act (over a considerable period of time) on characteristics which favour survival to breed. Since human beings are capable of getting round problems by ingenuity (rubber flippers to aid swimming for example) and look after the genetically disabled rather than letting them die, there will be nothing for evolution to act on. It is more likely that we will see strategic breeding/DNA manipulation.

After tonight's walk to the ground, it can't come soon enough!

GSTQ only sounds bad when it's poorly implemented. Done right, it's as good as any other national anthem.

But still, I Vow To Thee, My Country for England. No pseudo-religious poetic bollocks, just a simple statement of fact that you're here to kick arse for your country.

Give me England by the Wurzels, before the rugby we could have some morris dancers doing their thing, bound to get your English blood pumping
 
Bit random but having a chat on Mackem board about the most difficult achievement as an indvidual in sport. We've mainly narrowed it down to 147 break in snooker or a 9 dart finish (I personally think 9darter) Just wondering is there any other obvious ones that any can think of on here?

Riding over 4000 winners over jumps as a jockey, breaking almost every bone in your body in the process, and winning 13 jockeys championships on the way. Only one blokes ever done that.
 
I see that delightful Rebekah Brooks is under suspicion again as to her time as editor of The Sun. It appears there is new evidence that telephone hacking was rife at the newspaper during her time there.

What a surprise. :emoticon-0113-sleep
