Never try anything just in case it goes wrong.

The PC worked fine. Just microsoft being money grabbing bstards put a spanner in the works. I spent ages cleaning that bloody thing up and you spent cash on the courier. Sorry 'bout that!

Shame about Spurs.

Great. £1 each with both of you. Its all upside and no downside for me. For you two, exactly the reverse.

Ow. She probably still holds that grudge now!

Thats my point. To win £1,000 Id only need to stake £1 its effectively a no risk bet. To win the same with Bournemouth you need to risk a sizeable wedge. Of course Bournemouth are vulnerable to going down but 2:1 isnt worth it imo. Its a long season, we're less than a quarter way through it and probably 10 teams could be in the mix

You can get 1000:1 for Chelsea to go down. I'd take that over Bournemouth at 2:1

Why, you want to put a bet down?

Thats the kind of thing!

"A 95-year-old invited into a BBC radio programme after calling in about being lonely has become a hit on social media. Bill Palmer, from Southampton, called the Alex Dyke show on BBC Radio Solent about his life after his wife went into a nursing home. Dyke immediately ordered a taxi to bring Mr Palmer to the studio to allow phone-in listeners to chat to him." http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-34603435 That got me thinking about the last time I spontaneously did something nice for someone I didn't know - and I couldn't remember one. The best I could do was putting stuff on Freecycle instead of selling on Ebay, but thats just as much down to laziness. Anyone done anything nice recently?

When Glenn Hoddle was manager he talked about how there were three tiers in the PL. Saints were in the bottom tier (perpetual relegation candidates) and his goal was to become escounced in the second tier. We've made it.

Show some respect. No names please

I think mine was around £6,000 in 2009, also for 4 bed house but its hard to be sure because it was part of a lot of other work. That included wired in doorbell, smoke alarms, brushed chrome sockets and switches, new consumer board etc. A big factor in cost is whether the wires are going to be surface mounted or channelled into the walls and plastered over. The second is much preferable, but more expensive and you have to redecorate afterwards. There are a number of websites which show quotes other people have got. Try these. http://www.whatprice.co.uk/prices/electrician/full-rewire-3-bed-house.html https://www.thebestof.co.uk/local/brighton-and-hove/community-hub/blog/view/does-my-house-need-rewiring-what-are-costs http://quotationcheck.com/cost-to-rewire-a-house/

The main issue imo is that councils largely collude with existing residents to stop additional development. We should never forget that where all of our houses are built was once virgin countryside. My ex is fighting a development in the field next to her house - a scraggy piece of rough grazing land sandwiched between a main road and and a railway line which has almost zero ecological or aesthetic benefit. It is however already linked to roads and transport - perfect for housing. The problem could be addressed by creating a new housing agency with the power to compulsorily purchase farm land at agricultural land prices. They would then invite builders to tender for the development. That way the council can specify the services it wants to see provided - schools, shops etc but you dont end up with uniform large estates. It would also bypass large housebuilders stranglehold on development land and take away their incentive to hoard it. If you start building higher quality houses for less money than at present public nimby opposition would largely melt away.

....but were fine with the gratuitous murders

Hooray

He's holding a banned contraband item (viz Kinder eggs). He should expect to get shot eh St George?

I guess Saints dont count then.

He seems a smart guy but I hope he knows what he's doing. An awful lot of footballers end up blowing their football made money on creaky ventures.

Sure, I understand that. It would have irritated me too so I didn't go. Everyone knows in advance pretty much what its going to be like, so you either decide to go because you enjoy these things or you stay at home. I just find it odd people choose not to go, and then moan about something they didn't want to go to.
