  1. Oh OK - fair does (dos?). I think I'd find that boring but each to his / her own eh?
  2. I'm not being pompous - I genuinely don't see the point in travelling all that way just to spend one or two weeks in one place that is divorced from the real life of the country you're visiting :confused:
  3. I think you're right ESB. My son said his first word as we were coming away from there, when he was 8 months old! He said 'car'. That would have been in 1969.
  4. Hamster - you're tempting me again Sadly, with age comes common sense These days I need reliability of performance (phnar phnar) and also I'm not too sure the babies would appreciate the wind in their (lack of) hair
  5. Thank you - I really enjoyed the end part
  6. Those pics have taken me back in time. I used to have a red XR3i years ago. I loved that car - broke my heart to sell it
  7. Call me a Conspiracy Theorist but .............. Maybe HMRC agreed to the Android in the hope that our talented investigative journalists would dish up the dirt on the Unholy Alliances at FP? All the time they were threatening some sort of legal action everything would have had to be sub judice?
  8. You know I was thinking exactly that!
  9. TBF, and according to reports, they've tried to do this very thing. They've offered to take pay cuts in order that their colleagues keep their jobs - resulting in the required cost saving. It's reported that every time they try to talk about potential solutions, Mr Walsh strides into the meetings and over-rides his own senior management.
  10. easy credit
  11. Grandparenthood (even better!)
  12. exhaustion
  13. Good piece in the Guardian today about him: http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2010/mar/12/greg-clarke-football-league1
  14. Part of the solution might be for employers to pay a decent living wage. Then people will be more inclined to stay in jobs and the rest of us won't have to subsidise unscrupulous employers through other benefits. I've told this tale before about a friend of mine who was a film editor (VT / commercials). He was made redundant and (eventually) received state aid to support his family of four children and a wife. Although his wife worked ridiculous hours, they still struggled. From time to time he got bits and pieces of freelance work. He should have declared this but didn't because otherwise he would have had to have waited weeks and weeks again before he went back onto JSA. Wrong but entirely understandable.
  15. pyramid LOL Johnny - I've just got it
  16. alcoholic
  17. multitude
