The average figure is deceiving. The majority of people working in investment banking are doing ordinary routine jobs. I know somebody who works for UBS as a PA to a banker (not director level) who earns £65,000pa and gets a bonus - over £100,000pa as a secretary. The actual bankers are on way more, typically pushing £1m pa by their early 30s.

Someone is feeding the paper frenzy IMO. The question is, are they close enough to Chamberlain to know or not.

Its (belonging to it) and It's (a contraction of it is) are two separate words with separate meanings

Weird game footie. Reading see Austin as a second choice to BWP. We are glad to be shot of BWP and see Austin as the perfect signing.

Wonder if Granddad would pay the difference between what Saints and Swindon value him at. Cant be more than a million adrift.

Presumably they wouldnt associate themselves with the destabilisation - simply ride in on white chargers to save us from doom if the Liebherrs and Cortese were to be driven out by dark forces unkown and unconnected, honest guv. Worked well enough for Pinnacle last time.

I spent two years learning it and cant think of any concrete instances where is has been useful. Yes I know it forms the basis for the romance languages and is still use in some professions, but two years spent learning the basics of Spanish for example would have been much more useful to me.

Latin is a waste of time unless you are going into medicine or law, and even then you'd be better spending the time freed up from latin on biology, chemistry or law itself.

Of course its not Dune, of course it not.

Counter cyclical government spending is the obvious best way to manage things for the interests of the country instead of the party - higher government spending during a recession paid for by the surplus built up during a boom. Governments of all shades have become more cynical, now have have 'vote winning' irresponsible spending and tax cuts.

Its impossible to say imo. Almost certainly the driver didnt set out to hit somebody, the student - who knows? On another day the driver would have got home safely and the student would have killed three people. Both crimes were reckless behaviour.

Its all to do with concentrations though isnt it. 1g will kill you whilst 0.02g will kill any bugs in the food. If use of TBHQ is widespread in processed food what effect does eating it every day have cumulatively? Personally I prefer to eat fresh food rather than heavily processed stuff, but that doesnt stop me going to Mcdonalds once in while.

I agree. In a quick search its hard to not fall into the trap of giving the same credence to some crackpot site as to properly validated and authoritative sites. Anyway, just seen this _ http://pagingdrgupta.blogs.cnn.com/2010/06/25/a-tale-of-2-nuggets/

Does it matter? I couldnt be arsed to trawl through a long document to find chicken nuggets instead of chicken strips. The OP said there is dimethylpolysiloxane and butylhydroquinone (TBHQ) in McDonalds food. Pancake said it was an urban myth, but this document shows it isn't. As irt happens we are both right. These ingredients are commonly used in the US but banned in Europe, presumably not because 'no adverse effects are recorded'.

The official MacDonalds site like this one? Either Madonalds uses totally different recipes in the US (unlikely) or the disclosure of ingredients regulations are different here. Chicken Selects® Premium Breast Strip: Chicken breast strips, water, seasoning [food starch-modified, salt, autolyzed yeast extract, maltodextrin, chicken broth, natural flavor (plant and animal source), spice, chicken fat], salt, sodium phosphates, sunflower lecithin, maltodextrin, natural flavor (plant source). Battered and breaded with: wheat flour, water, food starchmodified, salt, spices, leavening (baking soda, sodium aluminum phosphate, monocalcium phosphate), garlic powder, onion powder, dextrose, spice extractive, extractives of paprika. Prepared in vegetable oil (Canola oil, corn oil, soybean oil, hydrogenated soybean oil with TBHQ and citric acid added to preserve freshness). Dimethylpolysiloxane added as an antifoaming agent. http://nutrition.mcdonalds.com/nutritionexchange/ingredientslist.pdf

Pancake in throwing a wobbly and still being wrong shocker. The OP is correct, as the link shows http://jessfastfood.tripod.com/fastfoodnutritionfacts/id25.html As it happens Macdonalds is no better or worse than any other cheap longlife food imo. You usually get what you pay for.

you ever seen Up in Smoke?

What we don't want to do is get too high when we win and too low when we lose......

Cant believe there has been one shot on target all afternoon, and they had it. Sounds abysmal.

'Kin hell Alps. I guess you took the roasting yesterday to heart. Loving the balanced thoughtful post

In previous games we've had 16- 18 shots on target. Today none so far.....

Yeah but no-one wants to go to Townhill.

Keep the faith OS, now is not the time to turn away from the path of righteousness.
