Actually Dune you dont know he has a case. He is currently suspended on a charge of gross misconduct. FF may be a good ole boy and all that but basically he is leading BA cabin crew out on a strike that will further damage an already loss making airline and accelerate the growth of Ryanair, Easyjet and Virgin. BA have asked for relatively modest reductions in benefits to existing staff - the union's and FF response to strike will end up delivering much more than that - redundancy - potentially for thousands. The economics of paying £50,000pa for a safety trained waitress flying LHR to LAX, staying in the Marriott for two nights, flying back and taking three days off - just doesnt work anymore.

An Irishman, Englishman, and Scotsman were sitting in a bar in Sydney. The view was fantastic, the beer excellent, and the food exceptional. "But" said the Scotsman," I still prefer the pubs back home. Why in Glasgow there's a little bar called McTavishe's. Now the landlord there goes out of his way for the locals so much that when you buy 4 drinks, he'll buy the 5th for you". "Well, said the Englishman, "At my local, The Red Lion, the barman there will buy you your 3rd drink after you buy the first 2." "Ahhh, that's nothing", said the Irishman. "Back home in Dublin, there's Ryan's Bar. Now the moment you set foot in the place they'll buy you a drink, then another ..... all the drinks you like. Then when you've had enough drinks they'll take you upstairs and see that you get laid. All this on the house" The Englishman and Scotsman immediately pour scorn on the Irishman's claims. He swears every word is true. "Well", said the Englishman, "Did this actually happen to you?" "Not myself, personally, no" said the Irishman, "But it did happen to my sister."

I dunno. Would I still have the £20 note or not?

Nina 99 Red Balloons. Still prefer the German version for some reason. Watched her with three mates play on Top of the Pops. We were all lusting after her until she went hey!! and thrust her arm up to reveal the hairiest pits we'd ever seen. True what they said about those foreign birds :0

An English man and an Irish man are driving head on, at night, on a twisty, dark road. Both are driving too fast for the conditions and collide on a sharp bend in the road. To the amazement of both, they are unscathed, though their cars are both destroyed. In celebration of their luck, both agree to put aside their dislike for the other from that moment on. At this point, the Irish man goes to the boot and fetches a 12 year old bottle of Jameson whiskey. He hands the bottle to the English man, whom exclaims,'' may the English and the Irish live together forever, in peace, and harmony.'' The English man then tips the bottle and lashes half of it down. Still flabbergasted over the whole thing, he goes to hand the bottle to the Irish man, whom replies: '' no thanks, I'll just wait till the Garda get here!''

lol. I like a bit myself

Er no. The fine was in 2007 (and Virgin were also guilty). BA made a loss of £375m in the year ending 31 March 2009 and another one of £180m just for the six months to end Sept 2009 (normally the most profitable part of the year). Anyone who thinks BA isnt in a fight for survival and doesn't have to cut costs is deluded. Its only the overpaid crews at Heathrow who are striking. Gatwick staff are on much less and arent walking out.

Seems to me the PL have done some nifty footwork to avoid the accusation that they killed Pompey by not allowing sales. If the sales are allowed and dont raise enough to cover their cashflow needs till the end of the season it makes clear it is Pompeys mismanagement not the PL's. Besides the PL seem to have extracted a price for this support. Wonder what it is.

edit. What Badger said

I know. But if you buy as I did last spring after being out of the market for a while you are treated as a first time buyer by mortgage companies.

I think FTB means in practice 'nothing to sell'.

Tabloids are all about sensationalist controversy, exposes and fights. If you dont have enough real ones to write about you have to make one up. tis easy - buy the Times. Some people think its boring - but thats only so if you need a diet of made up shock horror stories rather than facts. The Samuels article isnt based on any source within SMS imo. Read the Times article first then read the mail. Samuels article is just a snippy snidey little attack on Cotese based soley on what the Times has written.

My tv has got this. No idea if you can access all the channels you want. http://www.sony.co.uk/hub/home-cinema/home-cinema-with-sony-internet-tv
