Adje raised this in the bton matchday thread, they were both out 10 minutes before the rest of the team at half time yesterday, it looked really odd. They werent even warming up just standing around kicking the ball around, come on tcp lets us know what happened.

Maybe Maurice simply thought they were playing OK and didn't deserve an ear bashing.

Surely they'd have been hauled off if something sinister was going down.

Thing was they had both done fuck all.

Aaah, but you are seeing it through Mex's eyes not Malpas eyes.

Oh I dunno, maybe JPC can answer it.

are mex's eyes different to mine?

Are they hungry eyes?

no betty davies

Does Mex have pink eye?

No silly thats Patrick Swayze!

Blue, Spanish, surely ?

Bright eyes?

Gary Gilmore?

swastika?

Did you know The swastika is a symbol thats  been used for over 3000 years? it was actually meant to mean good luck.  so for 3000 years, the swastika meant life and good luck. But because of the Nazis it now basically means death and hate.

Random but true

Been watching/reading the Da Vinci code?

Been listening to kula shaker?

You like them too?

Don't know where i heard it to be fair think my uncle told me in germany a while back. He is black and was based in germany on one of the U.S bases and think we got round to talking about it.

I thought the Swastika the gerries used was the other way round from the "good luck version.

Nah same symbol, cheeky twats

Isn't it a Hindu symbol? I also thought it was the other way round.

I think it's been used in lots of religions and stuff both ways round.

Not that it really matters. If I wandered around smearing shit on people then I'd probably still get in trouble even if I managed to prove it was a friendly greeting in 500,000BC

The Nazi version of the swastika (hakenkreuze) is an inverted version of the ancient swastika symbol which was a sun/fertility symbol used in many Indic religions. But as Ben said whatever the origins these days, whichever way round, it's irrevocably associated with the Nazis.

I had to go to Penang in Malaysia this week.

Around the Island are various buildings with Red Swastikas all over the place, with a sign saying "The red swastika society". Being in a country that is so religiously orientated I found it a tad odd (And a little disturbing), and so I went all googly and found that it was some sort of charity organisation. I also found that the swastika goes way way way back and has been used by loads of cultures as religious and/or decorative symbols.

So there.

I bet very few get this!
