My money's on that Corteste fella...

Granted, there are more important things in life but "us humans were born with curiosity in our hearts and minds" (Bobby Davro, May 1988 )

p.s. can I be the first nosey b*****d to ask why you're seeing him?

Ask him if he can ever see Tadinari Lee being fit enough to play a game of football this season (seriously)

Can he play left back?

The beginning of the end....for hardcopy newspapers? http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/newsbysector/mediatechnologyandtelecoms/media/9614953/Guardian-seriously-discussing-end-to-print-edition.html The publisher of the Guardian and Observer newspapers is close to axing the print editions of the newspapers, despite the hopes of its editor-in-chief Alan Rusbridger to keep them running for a few more years.

Only two changes from the team that started the 2nd half vs Aston Villa

Is that one of those deadlines enscribed into the side of a chocolate tea-pot?

Congratulations to one and all. Good to see the NHS is still firing on all cylinders

Agree to a certain degree re: Fox. I just feel the balance looked 'right' when Clyne switched to left back vs Villa. Might have been more "inspite of" than "because of" though I guess. I'm keen to see Mayuka get a start though (which is equally harsh on Rodriguez)

Robert Peston ‏@Peston Dep gov of Bank of Eng, Tucker, backs paying bankers in the debt of their banks, to give them incentive not to bankrupt their institutions Seems sensible to me

Even people in Pompey are getting off their arses.... http://www.portsmouth.co.uk/news/fewer-people-out-of-work-in-portsmouth-1-4377905

BBC News (UK) ‏@BBCNews Full details of UK unemployment figures, including 50,000 drop in jobless total and record number of people in work http://bbc.in/Tb0l1M "The number of people in employment has not been higher since records began in 1971. According to the ONS, employment measures the number of people in paid work and differs from the number of jobs, because some people have more than one job. "It's a real landmark to see more people in work than ever before," Employment Minister Mark Hoban said.‪ "Despite the tough economic times, the private sector continues to create jobs and our welfare reforms are encouraging people to return to work - with 170,000 fewer people on the main out-of-work benefits than in May 2010." Nicholas Palmer from the ONS: "The total level of unemployment is the lowest its been since the spring of 2011" The government also noted that there were more job opportunities available, with the number of unfilled vacancies at 476,000, up 3,000 on the quarter and 17,000 from the same period last year."

Less than this I believe....

Ah, yep. Good point. It's always dangerous when I start commenting on something I know very little about!

Make up your own gags... @pn_neil_allen: #Pompey handed £2,500 FA fine after six players were cautioned against Crewe at the weekend.

I'm constantly amazed by the number of people that think giving more money to politicians to spend is somehow a good idea. Yes, give them just enough to be able to run the country efficiently but no more.

I did declare it was an uneducated guess!

They're not relying on that. They make a healthy 9 figure profit. They 'simply' declare that profit in another low tax country where they operate.

I had heard that the carrier pigeon was unwell.

Maybe BTF is suggesting governments don't poor half the taxes they receive down the drain on unnecessary projects, inefficient services and 'non-job' creation schemes ....you can always rely on politicians and civil servants to spend tax revenues wisely...
