  1. If you watched the Hunted programme where people tried to stay on the run then you will see that the government can pretty much track every vehicle if it's reasonably new. They were able to locate a car once they new it's registration. So big brother has been doing this for years already.
  2. But what we have to remember is that all companies now have to show that they are not sexist in their recruitment. This can of course work the other way (ie against men) where I know that a certain organisation positively descriminated for women in replacing a high level male person - in 2 cases. There was no way the new recruit would be a man. Now I am not against women having these positions and in fact am sure that they will fill the position expertly - but is this now going too far the other way or is this the price we pay for the male run poor recruitment and treatment of women in the workplace over previous years? Do we only have ourselves to blame?
  3. Skintsaint - I agree Bladeruuner 2049 was fantastic. I can understand the criticism from people who aren't into the genre or Bladerunner but then what are they expecting to see. There has been enough written about it to tell you that this is not a Michael Bay crash, bang, boom blockbuster. The look, feel and sound of the new film suits me perfectly. Will probably go again and buy it when it comes out on bluray and then buy the special edition version when that comes out.
  4. I'll be looking into Discovery this weekend. My main focus though is on going to see Bladerunner 2049 on Tuesday at the BFI Imax in Waterloo.
  5. The rules state that both feet have to be over the line for it to be a foul throw. I was surprised when I learnt this a few years ago at a talk by the Surrey FA referees representative. And maybe I should have read the whole thread before posting this as it's mentioned above. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  6. Membership is £25 this year
  7. I'm with kitch! The PA is truly awful
  8. It's the money washing around the game that is off putting. Players earning more in a week than many people earn in 10 years. It's just not right. The imbalance between the big clubs and the medium to small clubs. When there are football pitches being built on and a lack of coaches for the youngsters and the money just keeps going into the players pockets it puts me off. I am not into watching football at the moment, just can't bring myself to do it. Paralympics and Olympics before, Cricket before that. What will I do once Rio is over?
  9. So does that mean that Sky hate Leicester. Sky have shown Arsenal 12 times more this season than Leicester. Personally I think MOTD has been pretty good to Saints - I've never heard Alan Shearer say anything other than good things about us. Now if you want to have a go at someone go listen to that moron Paul Merson - he really doesn't like us.
  10. Saw him and his Netherlands team take England apart at Wembley around 1976. Cruyff, Johnnoy Rep, Neeskens etc. My first ever England game - school trip. They did them a lot then.
  11. I was in the swivelling debenture seats - friend at work had 2 debenture seats and he was the only ELP fan in his family.
  12. Seen a fair few articles, trailers etc for the film. Think I will give this a go. Very into sci fi.
  13. I saw him at the Albert Hall some time in the 90's. There is a DVD of an ELP gig in 1993 so it might have been that. I'll have to check my ticket stubs. First single (record) I ever bought was Fanfare for the common man - must have been at the time of the Montreal Olympics or soon after - it was the main theme for those olympics. Seems he suffered depression, was worried about how he would perform on a tour after suffering problems with his hand. Sad!
  14. Not quite so far away but hired a Gite in Brittany. Turned up to find out the owner - who lived on site - was a Pompey fan. He had a little bar by the pool with a Pompey flag in it. He ran the bar in the village as well. A very nice man. This was the year we played Man City away on our first game back in the prem in 2012 and he put it on in his bar just for me.
  15. If that's what happens when I predict we will lose 6-0 in the prediction league - yes it was me - then I'll do that every week. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  16. See the attached form the day before. A nice little pop at Liverhampton.

    Venice

    I've been in January (beautiful winter blue sky) and May (blue skies again) and no crowds both times. Got around on the river bus - get a 3 day pass if they still exist. Echo the Murano recommendation and just wander around finding little piazza's etc.
  18. Interstellar original soundtrack. If you're a fan of the film then it's a must. It will take you back to the film. Very uplifting in parts. Illuminated edition the one with most on it but expensive. Seems even soundtracks even get the 'different' version treatment now.
  19. Are you telling me that just VW were doing this - a bit like the banks, if 1 is doing it then it is quite likely that others are too.
  20. The new album is a grower. I've listened to it a fair bit over the last few days and each time I like it a bit more. The jazz track is just a chance for Dave to show off his saxophone skills (if he's playing it) The opening track is pure PF I bought the deluxe edition but haven't watched the Blu Ray yet so can't comment on that.
  21. I've got this although I must say on CD not Vinyl - even though I do have the technology to play vinyl. It's really rather good too - in my opinion.
  22. Saw him at a special BBC do in London when he was doing promotion for On An Island. Rick Wright in his band too. He was very good - of course.

    AC/DC

    Saw them at Wembley Arena in about 1981-2
  24. This one - every time I think of that game it sends shivers down my spine. I think we must have missed a chance in the 2nd half the whole ground went silent only for a huge roar to grow urging the players on. Also Beatts against Manure for 1-0 at St Mary's
  25. Got our 2 moggys from Battersea Cats and Dogs home. Think you have to wait until they are 6-8 weeks old so they are weened. Ours were also already house trained. Now 2 lovely grown adult cats.
