Pools panel says: "score draw"

Long way off, I know, but we're thinking of next Easter (2012) for a family skiing holiday (1st week in April). Is Val Thorens good for families/beginners? Me and the missus last went skiing about 20 years ago and got up to a skill level that bordered on competent parallel skiing but the offspring (currently aged 10 and 13) will be absolute beginners (although we do intend some dry slope skiing lessons before we go)

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-12531102 UK Chancellor George Osborne's austerity plan has received the backing of the US Treasury Secretary. Timothy Geithner told the BBC that he was "very impressed, as just one man looking from a distance, at the basic strategy that he's adopted". He said Mr Osborne had been handed "problems not created by this government". But he said the chancellor had "locked his government and the coalition into a set or reforms that are very good".

No probs. I think I've been mistaken for Alpine and Dune in one week now.....good job I'm too simple to take it personally! ;-)

I'm not for companies such as Barclays or Vodafone "getting away with it". I think they should be taxed as much as possible - right up to just before the point at which they say "sod this for a game of soldiers, we're outa here" I simply have no idea where that threshold is. Do you?

Saintsweb forum member puts words in other forum member's mouth shocker..... ;-) Of course companies and the rich should be taxed. It's understanding where the "take our business elsewhere" tipping point is that matters. I've no idea where that tipping point is. Does anyone?

Why have successive governments down nothing to plug these 'loopholes'....? What's the tipping point for banks like Barclays? I.e. How much tax will they pay here before upping roots to elsewhere? (genuine question) P.s. My comment was 'Tongue-in-cheek with a semi-serious underbelly' rather than 'absurd'. Easy mistake to make though.

...

Steeleye Span are better than Steely Dan. IMHO of course

I reckon the government should tell Barclays to relocate to somewhere outside the UK and take their paltry 1% tax payments with them. And the tens of thousands of jobs.

Is their surname 'Illingsworth' per chance....?

Taking the 10 points hit before the March deadline. Hmmmm, now why didn't we think of that 2 years ago.....

And, if you're going to start a sentence with 'and' at least give it a capital 'A'. FFS.

It's "isn't" FFS

Simple solution to that....don't mix with the riff raff in the first place...now, back to your analogy... ;-)

Not worried about playing 2 games a week as we seem to thrive on it. I am however slightly concerned that Saint Clark mixed me up with poor old Alps.... ;-)

And here was me thinking you couldn't be on the panel if you lived in Austria... ;-)

Because there are a lot of thick people in his party who don't understand what being a minority partner in a coalition government entails. You'd think they would have a clue given they've been advocating PR for decades.

Happy with that
