It is if you're a horse.

The horsemeat affair is just the tip of the iceberg of companies mislabelling cheap / unattractive food as something more expensive and desirable. Dont ever order 'white tuna' in the US - its invariably actually Escolar - the ex lax fish. It will have you pooing yellow oil and is banned from sale in some countries.

No nipple pics so far then? Shame.

Redknapp is completely without scruples imo and I wouldnt be surprised if he wasnt bothered if QPR werere relegated and he gets sacked with the balance of his contract paid up. He must be on at least £3m pa (thats what Hughes got)and probably a three year contract - £9m for six months work - probably more attractive for a 65 year old than actually working for the money.

So dint listen the interview before posting an opinion on it. Q'uelle surprise.

Bob isnt a patch on Debbie

Poor old Fonte is having to hire cars out for baptisms and weddings to make ends meet.

Anybody got any recommendations for sledging / tobaganning courses which will still be good late March / early April? looking for some fun long 1km+ course with lifts and not too much walking suitable for kids aged 8 and 10. Probably not Switzerland as its usually too dear.

This looks a good deal http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/201301235029340/sort/default/usedcars/price-to/4000/maximum-mileage/up_to_100000_miles/engine-size-cars/2-6l_to_2-9l/maximum-age/up_to_10_years_old/price-from/2000/onesearchad/used/onesearchad/nearlynew/onesearchad/new/page/3/radius/1500/postcode/bn68qb?logcode=p

Taormina Sicily, and take in a trip to the summit of Mount Etna.

Were they football fans? The nightclub event was an utter tragedy but had nothing to do with this match or the fans. There are too many attempts to commemorate various unrelated or relatively trivial (Gary Speed) which only leads to devaluing the silences and leads to behaviour like tonight.

MLT is implying. It is you that is inferring.

I decided I would if I was looking for a good cheap car I'd do it, but not a more expensive one. Take your Sirocco - worth £13k in good condition but the insurance company have decided to write it off because its uneconomic to repair. If you assume they got maybe £2k for scrap value that means the car needed £11k of repairs. I decided I didnt want a car which needed £11k of repairs whether it was cat D or not - but certainly if someone has skimped somewhere and got it back on the road for £5k less. By contrast if you were looking for a mechanically solid car for a few £000 then cat D could be perfect because two bent panels and a couple of lights would be enough to write it off - but they could easily be picked up at a scrappies and you'd have a good car for much less than book value.

Ive never actually done it but have researched and thought about it in the past. Decent thread on the issues here. http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?t=923075

You're thinking of China. You google 'hairy muff' and get 1.5 million hits about how happy Chinese peoople are and Falun Gong are Al Quedaists.

We dont. We only play one half but like to mix and match which one. It makes things interesting.

More to the point why couldnt Cortese see him in a reasonable time frame? Arranging a meeting for fouur weks time when both parties are in the country isnt incidental - its calculated to say "I am busy and important, and you are not".

Beckhams playing for nothing, poor lamb.

I went to a conference in February. Went to lunch and when I came back someone had taken my seat. The room was packed but I spotted a table at the front with just a white haired old man sat at it. I sat down, he smiled at me and said hello. We listened to the panel speakers. 30 minutes later I saw the table sign 'Reserved for the President of Iceland'.

Pulled pork is vile.

Was chatting to a work colleague yesterday - a Dutch woman working for us based in Brussels advising on the EU and lobbying there - and it was her informed view. I have seen this article though which explains the Netherlands situation. http://www.opendemocracy.net/cas-mudde/dutch-elections-and-eurosceptic-paradox

Its wrong to think its just Britain which is disenchanted. Sweden, Denmark, Finland and the Netherlands are all having major doubts

Viva hotels are great for young families. You get the benefits of the pace of an apartment combined with the facilities and entertainment of a hotel. Stayed at the Viva Sunrise in Alcudia a couple of years ago and it was very good. Waterpark nearby too. http://www.hotelsviva.com/en/hotel/index.html Menorca is also very good, less developed.

Dont know what the best one is - but blinkbox is good. Its pay per view rather than subscription based. I'd never used streaming before either - but its easy to setup with much better quality than I expected. http://www.blinkbox.com/Home

Quite. Treating people properly isnt only the right thing to do morally its the right thing to do for the business. Once you start to get a reputation as a shark the pool of staff loyalty starts to dry up and recuitment of the best in the field gets harder.
