Delia not implicated in Norwich BBQ crisis

Delia not implicated in Norwich BBQ crisis

Four Norwich players were among 30 people taken ill following a barbecue at the club's training ground, it emerged today.

Celebrity chef Delia Smith is a director of the club but sources said outside contractors were employed to lay on the food to allow staff at Delia's Catering Company to enjoy the event.

A statement from the club read: 'City today confirmed a number of its staff, including four senior professional players, have been taken ill following a social event on Sunday.

'Players, staff and their families attended an annual informal summer event at the club's Colney training centre, following which approximately 30 people who were at the event have suffered symptoms including sickness and diarrhea.'

I'm sorry but I can't help myself, I just guess that a couple players had to practice their runs, haha.

It's a good job Delia didn't do the catering or the $h!t really would have hit the fan.

What can I say eh? Would have been great had it been Delia's cooking.

The writer of this press release cannot spell.

It's another example of the creeping americanisation of the language.

Which is why we should be trying to cause another American Civil War. I mean, one is coming anyway, but we should be trying to provoke it, make it happen sooner.

An interesting viewpoint - what would you see as the proximate cause? Latin American immigration? Or East/ West Coast economic agendas? Or a non-geographical breakdown between states and the Federal government?

Simple capitalism.
Were it not for the mass broadcasting and glorification of the American culture - including writing and slang culture among others - for money, we wouldn't have BBQ and Bdays, Xmas and what not.

Want to be part of the American dream? Well now you can as long as you use valley speak, and write Cr@p like that.

It has no comparison with cultural diffusion like music during the 50s and before - which were never intended for use outside the USA. This is like, goal driven capitalism.

The Confederacy will rise again?

All those pro-Confederacy groups are nuts, but they still are looking to break away from the USA. Very odd group of people from what I've seen and read.

Probably the latter. Sooner or later the US people will start to realise en masse that they pay taxes to something that's little more than a corporate subsidy network. Not to mention the fucking chemtrails. And 9/11.

The USA is and always has been an ungovernably large country where elite sectional interests argue largely between each other for the right to try to rule the thing. Take the Iraq war - obviously there must have been some complicity by the military in the arguments and evidence presented for why the war needed to happen, yet we've also had senior generals threatening to resign over it, and over the implied plan to invade Iran. Even among the military elite there is difference and contest. No one body could ever hope to rule that effectively. The whole presidential system is largely symbolic. It is bankers and secret societies that have the most power in the US, and government is just a sort of official public branch of that.

Sadly, the likelihood is that even if the US does have a civil war, the shadow government of bankers and other elites will just let it happen, probably profit from it financially, and then use it as a means to keep people divided so they can maintain their position over them. On the other hand, at least we'd be rid of the US federal government, and one body at least theoretically having the power over several trillion dollars a year to spend on the military.

Can't see it. The southern states genuinely believed that their antebellum economy and society depended on cotton and, by extension, slavery.

There's nothing to unify them now, and as the poorest part of the union they'd have little to gain from separating themselves from the rich North and West Coast.

Actually, if the confederates had won they'd stuck with their own Jim Crow-inbred way of thinking. The Us would avh eremained divided and they wouldn't have been as powerful as they are now. As the latter is more dependent on the european economic recension of the aftermath of Hitler than the industrial revolution, no one can know how it would have really turned out. Too many factors to consider.

Not sure quite what will replace the current system. But you're talking about a single country the size and population of Europe (approximately). And the idea of a one-continent government in Europe disgusts me, and many others.

What's odd about groups of people not wanting to be ruled by other people who levy taxes on them by force who live in privately secured houses hundreds if not thousands of miles away?

The US has been in the unique position of being simultaneously large, rich in natural resources (including famland) and having very low population density. Although all these points are still to an extent true, population pressure is in my view the most likely trigger. Southern California is heading towards being one massive urban sprawl, and property prices and wages are in an inflation spiral driven off defence industries and IT businesses. How can the needs of those people be balanced off against the vast rural heartlands of the US?

It'll happen in California if it's going to happen anywhere - you've got strong economic performance and immigration from Mexico and the Pacific Rim.

Indeed, the Old South forged its own unique culture and society, distinct from the North, and essentially based on the system of slavery.

I wouldn't say nothing unifies them now, from what I've seen a southern heritage rooted in the Confederacy and the Old South is still a strong part of the 'Southern' persona, and is certainly something that many people still identify with. A Lost Cause ideology still pervades many areas of the South, although despite the best efforts of pro-Confederate groups I don't think it will ever be enough to provoke serious debate about secession or anything even remotely that serious. Still, remnants of a pro-Conf. ideology definitely remains, the number of Dixie flags is testament to that, and if I remember correctly even the state legislature in one of the Southern states still flies the Confederate flag, or at least did until recently.

Whilst that might be true in certain areas and for certain groups of people (primarily the white rural poor), 'The South' is very different now from the 1860s. Economically it is much more tied in with the rest of the US. Texans with their oil are the only ones who might feel they'd be better off.

But the non-white population would be pretty unlikely to support a secession agenda.
