  1. You didnt expect match updates from Official Saints? What kind of tweets were you expecting? Free pot noodles and invitations to exclusive club openings?
  2. Probably dressed up nicer than that. They buy carrier for £3billion. Some time later in totally separate circumstances, UK lobbies for Indian access to markets in EU, and UK announces package of overseas aid and investment by British companies.

  4. What the 9million population Sweden and the 16 million population Netherlands. That kind of comparable country to the 60 million UK?
  5. Because it gives us 200,000 sq miles of exclusive territorial waters we wouldnt otherwise have, and when we have dug up everything worth having on land the oceans will be the next Californian gold rush for resources, including but not only oil. China is already starting.
  6. She's wearing a thick coat and hasnt had a shower in three days.
  7. true!
  8. You should complain to your manager about working conditions.
  9. And the Belgrano was equipped with British Sea Cat AA missiles according to Wiki.
  10. Shoot themselves in the foot though dont they. Its infantile to demand to retire at 60 but also protest at paying the tax necessary to support it, and then trash the economy when they dont get their own way. I was supposed to be setting up an office in Paris, creating 8 jobs. Three months ago I checked in with Air France at London City to go to Monaco, change at CDG in Paris. They happily boarded me without bothering to mention that there were no onward flights from Paris due to a strike. Result wasted night in Paris, and getting up at 4am to get the last ticket on a 7 hour train ride south. Return home a few days later cancelled due to local strike. Had to drive to Genoa in Italy to get a flight home. Was supposed to be going this week to Paris for work. Cancelled. Decision now is that office will be in Copenhagen instead of Paris because what we do could be anywhere in Europe and why bother with hassle. A lot of much higher powered people than me will presumably be making similar investment decsions.

  12. Not only that, but we will have two large aircraft carriers (no planes) and only 17 other surface ships, barely enough to defend the sitting ducks. The Navy should be renamed the UK non flying aircraft carrier defence force because it wont have the resources for anything else.

  15. Guess there are lots of varying offers. I pay £14pm for BT broadband. Call are very cheap - especially international, about £1.50 an hour to the US.
  16. Yep but thats proabably just an introductory offer, plus you have to have a BT line connected as well (£18pm) . Add it all up and i found BT was cheaper.

    One way trip ala Stephen Milligan.

  20. BT, reliable with poor customer with awful non English speaking operators who think any problem is because you dont understand broadband or computers. Had BT for 10 years at four adresses. Mostly very good - ie reasonably fast, stable and problem free. Had a problem getting connected at one address and it drove me banana over weeks having circulalr conversations with script sheet operators in India. Eventually sorted out by staff in UK.
