bridge too far

I actually feel quite sorry for JP. It must be dreadful, turning up for work every day, knowing you're not up to the job / not being allowed to be up to the job. His confidence and self-esteem must be as low as that of the boys whose careers are being inexoribly ruined.

.....

Bit like Notts Forest, then, eh? Oh.... Bit like Southend, then, eh? Oh....

Some of the fans must have serious contacts in the media. Can we not use them to keep up the pressure? Whilst I despair of our current plight, I do get a frisson of pleasure from the amount of media coverage we seem to be getting ATM. I hope we can keep it going.

Again, not supporting RL in any way, I don't think there's been a share dividend for at least two years.

According to the news it seems he was the first to beat a path to Israel's Prime Minister's door to press for a ceasefire.

I meant I don't understand how weather systems work / change. I don't doubt that there is climate change happening.

I'm watching this and listening to Radio 5 Live. The French station is about 1 minute behind the radio commentary!

Not just me then

Apparently climate change means the weather in winter is now pulled in from Europe rather than the Atlantic. I say apparently because I don't understand these things

Marlon Harewood on the bench for AV v Gills ATM and likely to be brought on :smt102

I want RL gone as much as anyone else does. However, having looked at the latest accounts, I see that the auditors have passed the accounts. BDO Stoy Hayward are reputable auditors and it would be more than their job's worth to pass dodgy accounts.

The article says Wilde was in New York when the AGM was held. I thought he was in the Far East :smt102

Yep I agree with you there I can think of a number of very sexy auburn haired men but maybe that's because I'm an auburn haired woman. Preservation of the species an' all :yawinkle:

Forest now 3 - 0 up :shock:

Sympathy is a social affinity in which one person stands with another person, closely understanding his or her feelings. The word derives from the Greek συμπάθεια (sympatheia)[1], from συν (syn) "together" + πάθος (pathos), in this case "suffering" (from πάσχω - pascho, "to be affected by, to suffer"). It also can mean being affected by feelings or emotions. Thus the essence of sympathy is that one has a strong concern for the other person. Sympathy exists when the feelings or emotions of one person are deeply understood and appreciated by another person. The psychological state of sympathy is closely linked with that of compassion, empathy and empathic concern. Although empathy and sympathy are often used interchangeably, a subtle variation in ordinary usage can be detected. To empathize is to respond to another's perceived emotional state by experiencing feelings of a similar sort.[2] Sympathy not only includes empathizing (but not always), but also entails having a positive regard or a non- fleeting concern for the other person.[3] In common usage, sympathy is usually making known one's understanding of another's unhappiness or suffering, especially when it is grief over the death of a loved one. Sympathy can also refer to being aware of other (positive) emotions as well. In a broader sense, it can refer to the sharing of political or ideological sentiments, such as in the phrase "a communist sympathizer". So we're both right

Dear me, what a sad member of society you are Sympathy is about feeling the pain of mothers whose children have been killed, knowing how I'd feel if one of my children was killed. Do you have children? If we all just sat back, silently, when things were wrong with the world, nothing would ever change for the better.

One of RL's fellow directors at W H Ireland broke Stock Exchange rules recently by borrowing money against his own shares.......... :cool:

That's why I said you were inward-looking TBH. I said I sympathised with the innocent victims. Is sympathy an emotion you don't recognise? It is my business, your business and the business of everyone in a compassionate, humanitarian world to be concerned about the slaughter of innocents, whatever their nationality. But, hey, as long as you're OK.........

TDD what you are, apparently, unable to grasp is quite a simple fact. People can have left-wing views but, at the same time, can feel uncomfortable about some of the policies of marginally left-of-centre parties. I have never ever been a supporter of 'Nu Labour' (it's actually New Labour). I do, however, recognise that, in the grand scheme of things, it's infinitely better than Nu Tory.

I can't remember that song but how's about: We want you back Lawrie Mac :smt102

No...

And a teensy weensy bit more, maybe :yawinkle:
