There's a job going at my place. The ad will be in the Oxford Mail this week.

Shane's racism I mean.

How is this even a debate?

Am I to take it that your perception is that I think we should 'do nothing' about injustices served by the Government or, indeed, about the Government in its entirety? "Laissez Faire", to me, means a 'leave well alone' attitude, and it's fair to say that I'm somewhat of a 'if it's not broke don't fix it' person, but not on important issues.

Fair comment re. the Beeb.

Yes, Eurosport had the rights to our whole European campaign that season. lol

I'm not sure how that enabled you to judge my values tbh.. regardless, I never said I begrudged paying it, I just wondered if it could actually be self-sufficient. Big difference. As for F1, my feelings are mixed about it going over to the BBC. Yes, it'll be fantastic not to have a dozen ad breaks during the coverage, but the quality of the ITV show was far superior right from the off in 1997 to anything the BBC offered in all the years it had the rights. They do need to step up to the plate next year.

The 70s may not be that far removed from the 00s in your opinion StL, but 1916 certainly was and I assume that the data for economic activity during winter without BST can only come from prior to then.

Is he laughing? Just has his mouth shut doesn't he?

Yeah, go on, do it if you get five minutes (metaphorically speaking). It would be interested to see which shows nett the Beeb a few quid, and whether they need a license fee at all for that matter.

Maybe Shane is the only one who finds it funny :smt102

Wtf is your avatar supposed to suggest S13?

Valor del Corazon

You could all just post each other C90s.

How many times? Top Gear makes shedloads of money, far far outstripping its costs.

In my day it was copying Spectrum games.

Just cut and paste one from somewhere else.

Nope, happy as a pig in **** 365 days a year me.

I can tell! I meant changes with regards to traffic volume and quality, the quality of street lighting, the fact we don't tend to have the rolling blackouts of the 70s... That sort of thing. Anyway, I was after evidence rather than supposition which is all that's available. For me, I think it's nice to get up in daylight for a few more weeks, even if it does mean it's dark earlier. Waking up in the sunlight feels far more natural.

Where is this 'proper evidence' then StL? The only way there could be any real evidence that it would be better not to use BST is if we'd tried it for a year, in modern times, as a comparitor. I must've missed that year. There may be speculation that it would be beneficial to drop BST but even the work done on that is nearly 40 years out of date, by your admission. I don't see how a study undertaken in the 70s is wholly relevant to modern Britain tbh.

I think it's pretty poor. The title track is ok, as is the recent single, but most of the rest is boring. Airbourne are better

AC/DC - Black Ice Dull. 7 years abstinence to come up with that is pitiful.

Already? Christ, that was quick.

Implants and oestrogen. You can see it coming.

Not now I've read the result
