Sorry, but yours is smaller. Nothing personal.

Who exactly are 'we' in this instance? And what other things did you consider? Strength of claim perhaps? Any other thing that might legitimately affect the outcome? Have you run the same rigorous research on the chances of a white, straight, Christian getting the outcome they require? Are claimants or defendants asked their religion or sexuality? If not, then how do you know what either of those things is? Oh, and what's a UK SME? I can get the UK bit, but I've never come across the SME before.

Be honest, you're starting to enjoy it, aren't you?

But what if he's black and gay, but the firm he's taking to court is run by a gay Muslim? Who would outscore whom in those circumstances? Perhaps he could convert, so he'd then tick all three boxes - I think that would probably do the trick. But do they check these things before the case starts - after all, you wouldn't want to lose and then realise you'd forgotten to mention your religion or sexuality (I'm assuming they'll notice skin colour). It does all sound a bit complicated to me, I must say.

That's a good call - as you say, it's a close one. I know Costello wrote it, but didn't Wyatt actually record it first?

Very true - I still can't stop laughing when I look at that one! It just works perfectly; I can imagine him toiling in the fields somewhere in the deep south, wearing dungarees, a straw in his mouth, his neck a deep, vibrant red...

They haven't put up your improved one of Seaborne though.

Indeed - we all know that old saying about not judging a book by its cover, but would you give this man an honest opinion on how his jacket looks?

I think Seaborne's eyesight is a bit of a worry.

Shame on you. Mind you, I laughed, so shame on me too.

Look on the bright side - how many posts did you have to your name before you got going on this thread? If that doesn't help, you could always go and stab someone in the face. Not me though, if it's all the same to you.

We all are. The only question is whose backside it is. Well, that and whether or not he'll be able to walk.

I think Trousers will have his wife and kids with him, so he'll have to give the maid in the mist a miss.

So you're Baj as well, eh? No bloody wonder you don't get banned!

Can we please get this thread back on topic? Less than an hour till the press conference now - who's excited? I know I am.

Blush not, I do know you - we've both been banished from Hampshire House. Mind you, I could have posted that even if I didn't!

Which is very definitely not typical of you!

You just pasted that from the football rumours site!

Perhaps you are. I'm beginning to suspect that this thread is being written by the ghost of Franz Kafka - including the bit I'm typing right now.

Mine! - no, yours! - no, mine! - er, yours? Oh shít!

You're probably right, but what is life if you can't dream?

I love this thread. I love shaned for starting it. Locksheatsaint101 is my hero and I hope he doesn't stab me in the face.

If we bring back the floating bridge they will come, and not just from Barcelona.

Apparently he's a pretty articulate and intelligent bloke - but he's doing his best to hide it there!

Did you hear it from a separate source, or did you just copy it from the football rumours site? Or did you hear it and post it in both places? Just wondering...
