Dont suppose he is matey with Lallana is he? Yes I know Bournemouth is a big place but the pro footie community is small.

I too would install Clarke as Chancellor. All you can hope for with Osbourne is that he realises he is new and out of his depth and allows himself to be dictated to by Mervyn King. The danger will come in a year or so (if he is still in the job) when he develop the belief, like Brown, that he has 'the touch' and strikes out on his own, making very poor decisions.

Yep. Looking at going in the summer, if he has to, makes far for sense for AOC, Saints, the buying club and his parents (AOC will be six months older and six months wiser).

Liverpool and Arse. Man U bid still to come allegedly.

Two less than there were. Hypocrisy seems to be built into the business model at Sky and the Sun.

Poll closed. Regardless of the Man U game, best result of the weekend.

He'd be an interesting case to meet. He definitely suffers from splitting, havent worked out the underlying personality disorder yet.

Like others said we all signed up for it. Its just a bit of masochistic / sadistic fun with a little gratuitous spite thrown in. Yes you are taking it far too seriously.

Are you Glen Hoddle?

d) access to reliable banks At present the only way many people in developing nations have to survive in old age is to have lots of children to look after them. Birth rates nearly always drop off dramatically when people have access to savings / pensions and contraception

Funny. Leicester fans are ambivalent about N'Guessen and on another thread saying Pucheon is exactly what they need. Swap?

Not as simple as that though, because most food production is commoditised now - ie it is sold to the highest bidder. So Kenya for example might produce loads of food but it doesnt stop the Kenyans being outbid for it by Europeans. If world food trade stopped we'd be amongst the ones most ****ed because there is no way this island can feed 60 million people.

Blimey. Thats sending him one strong signal.

With an ever increasing number of people. At some stage something has to give.

Arsenal: We wont fight Man U for AOC. http://www.dailystar.co.uk/football/view/173699/Arsenal-We-won-t-fight-Manchester-United-for-Alex-Chamberlain/

I suppose I'm interested in whether people in the UK would be prepared to compromise their own lifestyles (less meat, less exotic fruit and veg - more basic foods) plus pay more in overseas aid or not. I suspect they wouldnt, beyond sending a few pounds in donations when there is a acute famine. It also raises the question of it is it right / desirable to try to curb population growth through financial incentives.

Don't think its the UK they are concerned about. We are rich enough to pay the higher prices and have plenty of water. Places like Pakistan, India, and Northern Africa could become very volatile though driven by drought, and hunger.

According to slightly sensationlised media reports of this new international government study. A growing global population to 9bn, competition for food, fresh water and energy could cause major civil unrest. There is limited scope for increasing agricultural land and marine fisheries are fully exploited. Food prices will rise, reversing a 30 year pattern of becoming cheaper. Any alternatives to letting increasing numbers of people die of hunger or migrating north? http://www.thisismoney.co.uk/bargains-and-rip-offs/household-bills/article.html?in_article_id=521726&in_page_id=510 http://www.bis.gov.uk/foresight/our-work/projects/current-projects/global-food-and-farming-futures/reports-and-publications

You might be able to get a grant - try here http://www.energysavingtrust.org.uk/Home-improvements-and-products/Heating-and-hot-water . Even if you dont though - as VTT said, a new boiler will be much cheaper to run.

Hows your maths Dune? Hypo got five times as many votes as Deppo and you have 50% more votes than Hypo.

Not many posters visit the TMS tbf.

Until the next Man U game?
