Que? Unless you think this is just poor lighting?

I'd totally reform the system for awarding honours, introducing a larger public input and taking away the party patronage. You would then draw the House of Lords from this group - a mix of CEOs of Mencap, RSPB, National Trust etc , Nobel prize winners, academics, business people, authors etc. Any system will have its flaws but its much better to have a checking and restraining second house drawn from a wide selection of society (but united by being successful in their field) than to hand more power of croneyism to exisiting politicians of the type we could with less of, not more.

I know a Belizean lawyer and Senator who was present whaen Ashcroft threatened to have the government overthrown unless they gave him a concession to develop a freeport. The guy is a slimeball in the UK but his behaviour in Belize is beyond belief. Its incredible the Tories keep him on board simly for his donations.

But its indicative of a weakness in the Tories. Labour have a number of able Asian women with real careers who are there on merit, whatever you think of their political views. The Tories are scrabbling around to find one, anyone, to tick the box.

Is this the right thread for the 'name a random player with Hoffenheim connections' game?

That should make things interesting....

Not exactly a great job, in fact it was mind numbingly dull - but at 18 I worked six months at Mr Kiplings on the pies lines. I worked 60 hours nights and made £274 in my first week - a fortune in the 1980s for a lad from a low income family straight out of college especially since my rent was £30pw. For the first time in my life I could afford to do almost anything I wanted. Heady time.

If they went swinging for free more they wouldnt need tv or expensive dinners out. The Government should promote it for those on low incomes.

Sure he isnt Dutch instead of Deutch?

I knew an insurance salesman who said "nearly everybody I sell a life insurance policy to signs on the dotted line and then says "worth more dead than alive eh?" and looks to me to laugh. I can manage a wan smile but what I really want to do is punch them hard in the face." I imagine Steve Davis feels that way about the snooker references.

I knew that

They said the same about KD as well. Maybe he is, or maybe Boro fans get on their keepers back and they lose confidence.

RIP. Great character actor. Odd name change though - his real name sounds more Hollywood than the one he adopted.

Too trashy.

I looked into having units repaired a couple of years ago but the gossip on various web pages was that repairs werent very longlasting. They were oldish units anyway so I upgraded to new ones with half the heat loss for about twice the cost of a repair.

Wow he's fallen far considering he was at Chelsea and a real hot prospect at 18.

This. I'd rather take pot luck each week than have constants who get on my tits by November.

Its inside the ground behind a high steel fence, otherwise somebody would have 'modified' it by now - probably with a drip in its arm and a carrot up the jacksie
