Are you richer if you've just splashed a lot of cash on new players or richer if you haven't?

Steve Jobs

Theres a guide on the AA site. Depends on location and size. http://www.theaa.com/motoring_advice/safety/windscreen-vision-safety.html

Lebanon

Of course Sir Alex, we rate him even more than Bale. Pay us £15m now and he'll be worth £50m in a couple of years, promise.

Even pop stars have gone posh apparently. The poshies are reclaiming their world. http://news.bbc.co.uk/today/hi/today/newsid_9373000/9373158.stm

Blackpool, Millwall and Hull City also tabled bids according to the article, and seems like they didnt want to pay £1.65m either.

Its a discussion board Dune, but mostly you dont discuss or add value, responding to or countering the points made. Over 60 posters voted to ban you. You'd be better thinking why that might be instead of trying to turn it it into some faux triumph. Different views seem to panic you and you respond by dismissing people as commies or resort to baiting. So yes Im often snide to you when you spam, bait or troll. Theres a good cross section of views and backgrounds on this board. If you posted your own thoughts and reasons instead of the thoughts and reasons of Margaret Thatcher, Churchill or Nigel Farage you might get more respectful responses.

I know

Cant you see the number of people engaging with you, or even responding to your posts is dropping off a cliff? Thats because your act is really tired. Occasionally you have some good topics for discussion, but then kill the debate with moronic rantings. Give it up.

Not scams as such, but most of them are misleading. 'Free' stays in hotels as long as you buy breakfast and dinner there every night for example. Having said that I stayed at a Marriott place in Marbella a few years ago - 3 bed apartment -very swish. They were upfront they were trying to get you to buy a timeshare, just had to spend an hour at a presentation and pay for your own flights - a try to buy kind of thing. Had a good holiday here https://www.marriottvacationclub.com/vacation-resorts/marriott-marbella-beach-club/overview.shtml If you go into it with your eyes wide open, check what the offer really is and aren't the kind of person to be bounced into anything some of the deals worth having.

The efficiency of your old boiler will be around 50-65%. A modern condensing boiler will get over 90% so you will get a massive saving on your gas bill by having a new one installed. Given that you want it to last as long as possible and that a big proportion of the cost will be the labour and pipe work, go for the best boiler you can - it will pay for itself in a few years.

I left school at 15 (because my birthdays isnt until August) in the main because the style of teaching was so academic and dry I was bored ****less and could rarely see what practical use it would be. As a result I was also a mildly disruptive pupil. My first job was a technician in a lab developing specialist glues for industry. All of a sudden I could see why you might actually want to know how to calculate viscosity or what the dessication rate of a sample might be. The TEC chemistry course (replacement for ONC /OND) I did on day release was great too - they used real world examples to solve real world problems - fractional distillation of crude oil; aluminium smelting etc rather than the abstract ones at O level which all seemed to be about remembering formulas without telling you why. For some kids who are more practically minded or just sick of desk bsed education, a spell working, getting an interest in a job learning the basics and then going back to college later to learn the science might be a much more productive way to go. It worked for me, giving me some direction and re-enthusing me about learning. I ended up going to university as a mature student at 24 and got much more out of it.

Thats what I got too. The numbers going to university were a lot less then and graduates were sought after by employers. Yes I agree too many people go to university and not enough value is attached to vocational courses and qualifications.

We have conceded the fewest goals in Lg1 apart from Brighton. Apart from that, good theory.

If 20% of graduates can't a job then most degrees (>50%) are a waste of time. Clearly you didnt waste three years at £6,000pa.

Ipswich only bid accepted. Well that was 15 pages of ******** then.

Saints out the race according to this. http://www.thisisswindontownfc.co.uk/news/headlines/8817424.Austin_set_for_Ipswich_talks/

Matt always struck me as being down to earth.

Jeez. Thats like being told you are old, fat, ugly and smelly but on the plus side you arent skint.

Mail say he is off to Ipswich http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-1351051/Charlie-Austin-Jewell-Pauls-crown-Ipswich-new-boss-promotion-push.html?ito=feeds-newsxml

Arguably, given Ipswich's position, he has as much chance of championship football with Saints next year as he does with Ipswich. The odds on them going down wont be much different to Saints going up.

Even better maybe we could use a club that hasnt mirrored our slide down the leagues as our scouting network.

Yes.....but. I do wonder about Cable. He is possibly a little like Frank Field - very able, interesting and different ideas, but struggles to build consensus support for them.
