True, but inflation also erodes debt - the value of the debt decreases as inflation goes up.

To the Lallana "he plays on the left" chant.... He's got a long name He's got a long name His dad was a skate **** He's got a long name

In Germany it works. You have a Deutsche Post post boxes and TNT ones too. However, at 80p+ to post something, the consumer doesn't get a better deal.

Indeed, what they can charge has been capped, athough postcom has just allowed them to increase downstream access costs by 19%. It is ridiculous situation where to post something 1st class in soton only costs a matter of pence for next day delivery in scotland. RM has also had its hands tied with Deutsche Post, TNT, Spring etc discounting and selling business postal services for much less, whilst the RM can't respond. Hence there is an air of inevitability about the sell off.

I refer the honourable buctootim to the answer I gave some moments ago

The postal services bill went through parliament today, which will ultimately result in the sell off of the Royal Mail http://www.morningstaronline.co.uk/i...iew/full/99784 Where I don't think privatisation of search and rescue is a good idea, the sell off of the Royal Mail is inevitable. Any posties on here care to comment?

Can I quote you on that? Great being in the middle isn't it?

I was being a tad silly. I am not for privatisation for privatisation's sake. Some situations lend themselves to privatisation, whilst others don't. I personally don't think that S&R is an ideal candidate. What next? Ambulance? Fire? Police? Although I am for less government and a smaller state, even I recognise that some services are better provided by the state, despite the inefficiencies and attitudes of the public sector. I also find it a little distasteful that someone will make a profit out of rescuing someone, or even worse, not rescuing someone. The postal services bill went through parliament today, which will ultimately result in the sell off of the Royal Mail (a far better candidate for privatisation). http://www.morningstaronline.co.uk/index.php/news/content/view/full/99784

Ah, it could work if the one to reach the 'customer' first, was the one that got paid. This would speed up response times.

Considering I am at the centre of the political compass, I would drink a beer with any saints fan (on match days), left or right, liberal or authoritarian, so you are more than welcome.

Indeed. We may have differences in our political views and discuss them on here, but when it comes to footie, I would happily drink a beer with any of the left loonies on here.

When it comes to films, you know best :lol:

We could add this verse: The stewards in the stand say, Sit down please, Sit down please, Sit down please, The stewards in the stand say, sit down please All day long Or we could have, "We're on the Bus with Adkins army, we're all gonna win the league, and it aint gonna stop, till we reach the ****ing top and southampton are the greatest footbal team....."

I make the gap 0.67, therefore 10 games should do it, leaving us 0.7 points ahead.

Get in!

To be fair, you can't get more lively than that

I sent him that by PM this morning and have offered to pass on his details via linked in inmail (if he thinks it is the right one)

I'm no egg chaser, but this post match interview is brilliant. http://www.thespoiler.co.uk/index.php/2010/12/17/rugby-man-shows-how-to-post-match-interview

Indeed, socialism can be quite lucrative for some.

Anyway, perhaps one of the most interesting and colorful words in the English language is the word "****". It is the one magical word, which, just by its sound, can describe pain, pleasure, love, and hate. In language, "****" falls into many grammatical catagories. It can be used as a verb, both transitive (John ****ed Mary) and intransitive (Mary was ****ed by John). It can be an active verb (John really gives a ****) or passive verb ( Mary really doesn't give a ****) ; or an adverb (Mary is ****ing interested in John), and as a noun (Mary is a terrific ****). It can be used as an adjective (Mary is ****ing beautiful). As you can see, there are very few words with versitility of "****" .Besides its sexual connotations this incredible word can be used to describe many situations: Greetings----------------------How the **** are you? Fraud--------------------------I got ****ed by the car dealer. Dismay-------------------------Oh, **** it! Trouble------------------------Well, I guess I'm ****ed now. Aggression---------------------**** You! Disgust------------------------**** Me! Confusion----------------------What the ****-------? Difficulty-----------------------I don't understand this ****ing question. Dispair------------------------****ed again. Incompetence-------------------He ****s up everthing. Displeasure--------------------What the **** is going on here? Lost---------------------------Where the **** are we? Disbelief----------------------Un****ingbelievable! Retaliation--------------------Up your ****ing ass! It can be used to tell time---------------------It's five ****ing thirty! It can be used in an anatomical description-----He's a ****ing ****! It can be used in bussiness--------------------How the **** did I wind up with this job? It can be maternal---------------------------- as in "Mother****er" It can be politcal------------------------------ "**** Clegg" And never forget General Custer's last words -------------------------------------------- "Where did all them ****ing indians come from?" Also, the famous last words of the mayor of Hiroshima ----------------------------------- "What the **** was that?" And, last, but not least, the immortal words of the captain of the Titanic, who said, ------- "Where is all this ****ing water coming from?" The mind fairly boggles at the many creative uses of the word. How can anyone be offended when you say "****"? Use it frequently in your speech and it will add to your fame and prestige. Today say to someone- "**** YOU"

I sat in the itchen corner with one of my 6 year old twin daughters last week, which is probably not the best place to take young kids, especially at the back of block 4. After a rendition of "you skate bastard", she said, "Dad, what's a skate?". I presume she knows the meaning of bastard.

I bet BHA G4Y is worth a few quid, what with demand and all that

I took 1 of my twin daughters aged 5 to the wallsall game last season ...didn't show too much interest, but we won 5-0. Took the other twin to the Huddersfield game last season and we won 5-1. Took the 1st twin to the Exeter game last week (now aged 6) and it was a totally different experience (and we won 4-0). So between the them, they have seen 14 goals in three games. To make things fair, the question is, when should I take the 2nd twin again?
