Ooooooooooooo Rosie Redknapp, used to be a Skate but he's inside now!

[quote=ant;1247575 Good job, the aap3 logo on mine is half-peeled off... Same here. Really annoying, may buy another to be kept in mint state for my collection.

One year only I believe.

Ignorance and Ignoramability: The Portsmouth Fans' Story.

A draw at home against already relegated Coventry will see us promoted to the Premiership. 1st? 2nd? Doesn't matter. We win about 4-0 and party like there's no tomorrow.

Very interesting.

Chris Marsden?

Bang on, and for any of the blue vermin to claim that the situations are directly comparable is delusion of the highest order. That after 3 and a half years they still cannot understand the difference just shows how utterly beneath contempt and redemption they truly are.

Well, can't fault the imagination!

Rocha and Futacs, that's it. Actually, Rocha is 33, just Futacs

Good lord, I'm just checking out the window to ensure there are no devils ice skating. Dalek and I agree on something (apart from the bit in bold.) That must mean hell has frozen over.

Why, oh why, did we have to wear that in a cup final!?

I don't hate him, but he is such a childish idiot. Behaviour like that should never be rewarded, regardless of ability. Too many children with ability in football who are treated as something special due to their talent, all it does is breed arrogance and a lack of perspective. People like Puncheon are symbolic of many things wrong with this countries attitude to football. Ill disciplined, precious and utterly self absorbed. Let the child rot.

Agreed.

No, it makes you worse then the Skates, if you cannot keep up to date don't bother attending the stadium. Why would it be an issue!? Behave chap, if you like the shirt you like the shirt, wear it with pride!!

#Believes he can see where this is heading...# Go on.....

I had a situation where a product my employer makes could have saved the Shropshire NHS disabilites unit thousands of pounds per year. It was dissaproved on 2 grounds. 1) The department that would reap the benefit was not the one that would make the purchasing decision, and as such this would have been a capital cost for them above their current budget. Therefore no play. 2) The benefitting department feared that their budget would not be freed up by the savings, it would simply be 'cut' from their kitty in the next financial year. So they wouldn't back it either. How can an organisation that is so fragmented, so utterly and terribly departmentalised and clogged by this kind of red tape ever be working to it's best?

It's a fair point, anything that is in a state of permanant flux will never work to it's fullest potential. Nonetheless, it is constantly tinkered with because of it's role in life/death in this country. Most of us are born in NHS hospitals, treated by NHS GP's and eventually cared for by the NHS when matters come to their natural end. It is one of the most precious things in british society, the notion of state funded healthcare and as such it has to receive the constant political attention.

The NHS is such an issue. Just because it does a lot of good at the moment surely it doesn't mean that it is completely beyond reproach. I'm not saying that current coalition plans are right in terms of the NHS, but the utterly precious nature of safeguarding/ringfencing something (crucial role it plays accepted) that may be able to be improved further thorough changes is surely counter productive. Yes?

Can anyone remember the 'Political Compass' test thread that was on here a few years ago? It let people take a test to see where they are between the four political poles.

That would barely scratch the surface, you know that.

When it comes to politics they are all selfish, regardless of party. That however is a topic for another day. There is no ideal political solution, just personal inclination based on which one of the three main influential parties line up mostly with what you feel. Frankly, to be denounced and dehumanised by simply by stating I am currently in the blue camp is extremely harsh.

I think you are making too many personal assumptions.
