Ha, 7.

Well, yes. . But still feel that it would be better to have a more taxing warm up, avoid any false confidence.

Loving the attacking play. But aside from a fitness tick-over is there any point in playing Quick 20? Surely a more taxing (but not too tough) opponent would be better.

Shared computer?

Hoof? Quick? Right, where's Jonno.......? He would be all over this!!

Apologies, I shall step up my stalking efforts.

You've been reading 'The Numbers Game' havn't you? Great book by the way.

Ah, Maya Yoshida's old side..... Interesting to see that without him they were relegated.

Or, to implement policies which encourage individual endeavour for the benefit of the people and reduce dependancy on the state. Harness the selfishness of man rather then simply garnish it.

You are a Gentleman. Mind if I PM you when the details for tickets are imminent?

Getting nervous about this, Dad will have a decent chance to get a ticket as a ST Holder, but as a mere member now I would surely be out of luck?

Hardly surprised.... haha. Just a shame that I don't have my passport handy, will need to see what can be arranged after work. Travel from Birmingham or London may be a good option for me either way.

On the contrary, it's entirely relevant. It just serves to underline my point that people are fundamentally selfish.

That's not what i'm saying at all! haha. I am in favour of a welfare state for those that need it.

Airline prices have already shot up!!

Flying to Dusseldorf may be the best option for away fans, only 28 miles from Arnhem.

If we do beat them it will certainly get our co-efficient up.

Ooooo Vitesse Arnhem.... Relatively tricky.

Great, starting with the Champions League. #sigh

He usually gets there for about 7.30 after the 3pm games. At that point i'm usually on the floor at the Albion or back in Kings Worthy..... It's the classy thing to do.

The welfare state is the prime and most relevant example. Something implemented in good faith that is being abused to the detriment of those it was put into place for. It can be played as a way of life, draining the nation's resources and souring perception of it as a concept.

Because it stops the negative parts of the human condition from effecting the collective whole as much as socialism. Agree with the point on free market capitalism too, but capitalism and conservatism are not the same.

Located in 'Novi Sad' a mere 50m drive from Nikola Tesla Airport, Belgrade. Easy!!

Kukesi would be fun! Middle of nowhere Albania.

You are missing my point. I'm not advocating selfishness, I'm saying that when push comes to shove that's how people behave. Beyond logic, beyond morals that simply 'is.' It's similar to the 'flight or fight' response, when it comes to it, people will react in a certain way. I'm not saying it's right, i'm not saying it's best. It just is. And to work as though that isn't the case because it is undesirable is the worst thing of all. The focus should be on developing a system that circumvents selfishness and rewards effort. (Not that i'm saying that's what we have now, but better to work with what is available then impose an over reaching yet sadly impractical moral view upon people who are in an already pressured environment.)
