  1. . Ive just watched the Bradford fire disaster video again. Both of those were caused by people being trapped behind fences, walls and gates. Seats exacerbated the problem at Bradford and arguably would have done at Hillsborough
  2. Not really, Sturgeon is even worse.
  3. Equally good if not better article about the same goal and Branfoot incident here, with more context. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/teams/southampton/10729936/Flashback-The-day-a-genius-called-Matthew-Le-Tissier-stunned-Newcastle-with-two-remarkable-goals.html
  4. The obvious answer is 'nothing' because the economics don't work. Presently England (c50 million) can subsidise Scotland (5m) without it costing too much per head. Getting Scotland, Wales and NI (c10m total) to provide meaningful sweeteners to England is clearly a non starter
  5. Theres got to be some serious underlying reason for what now amounts to two serious attempts to get Boruc out and away from the team because no-one doubts his PL standard ability .
  6. Yep. We're cousins in a family with Queen Lizzie, Lindsay Lohan and the fat freak from Big Brother. Christmas round at yours could be interesting.
  7. People born 500 years ago typically have around 50m direct descendants.
  8. His pancakes are fantastic. Can I have a -1 too? http://www.jamieoliver.com/recipes/fruit-recipes/breakfast-pancakes
  9. I think I'd need to be blind.
  10. Interesting debate now about being 'fair' to England. There are wider implications than simply stopping non English MPs voting on English issues. No party seems to want an English parliament, but its hard to see how real devolution can work without it.
  11. Ailoi is mayonnaise dumb bear!
  12. not much love for 'adz' here http://www.saintsweb.co.uk/showthread.php?51186-Defectors-Watch/page2#.VBidt_ldU9Y
  13. Team comes from a town of 33,000, one third the size of Eastleigh. Amateurs until three years ago, drawing at Anfield. Perfect. .
  14. You either haven't read or haven't understood the document. Even including North sea oil and gas revenue Scotland is heavily in deficit, more so than the rest of the UK. Oil and gas income is projected to continue to decline.
  15. Scotland are heavily in deficit - around £12bn on expenditure of £64 in 2012/13. http://www.scotland.gov.uk/Publications/2014/03/7888
  16. It will be a clear 'no' imo for the same reason Thatcher won a third victory when unpopular in the polls. A lot of people say they are undecided when the really intend to vote for the less 'acceptable' option. How can 17% of people really be undecided on a question like this?
  17. The only thing worse than spineless knobs is spineless knobs who can't admit they were wrong.
  18. Cracking result. Had to go to Stockholm yesterday resigned to missing both the game and even highlights on MOTD. Went out for a £9 beer and came back to the hotel to discover the hotel bar had had the whole game on and I'd missed all but the last 15 minutes.
  19. Totally agree, an amazing effort raising an amazing amount of money. Im sure he will get a big cheque in the stadium and lots more donations. I never had the folk hero respect for him as a player that many others did - but he has my utmost respect now.
  20. No system is perfect but it makes more sense to give the vote to people who live there now than people who were born there and moved away.
  21. I wouldnt do it till they're about six. If you spent the money for his ticket on a baby sitter you'd both have a better time. Sorry.
  22. Hasn't even been to Southampton yet
  23. He's got a house in Southampton Long Island. Maybe he thought Millbrook would be similar.
  24. Nylon and diamante never looks cheap
