What makes you think this is the place for rational posts....? ;-)

No half time oranges?

Is that our new Greek manager?

I wonder whether this was in the pipeline regardless of the situation with Lee Barnard at the weekend or whether that event triggered this move?

Nicholas Bignall Who?

Michael Owen?

We're bringing back Pulis early from his loan at Stockport?

RT @Ryn_Bru: @officialsaints New loan signing? Striker? Please??? #saintsfc

Yep, agree with that, although Hunt was being 'Paxmaned' at the time and you could see that he was trying desperately to squeeze a controversial soundbite out of him rather than ask objective questions. But that's the hallmark of a good interviewer I guess.

More irrational left wing reaction to a common sense statement by a Conservative minister I see this morning. Funny how "don't have loads of children if you can't afford them" gets twisted to "nasty Tories tell poor not to have ANY children" That's not what he said. I stopped at two kids because I couldn't afford any more. Why shouldn't "poor" people follow the same logic ? Sigh

2:30 ?

Noooooooooooo! http://mobile.saintsfc.co.uk/runtime/southampton/article?articleId=2178071

Ah, cheers. I have to admit that the last time I studied consumer law academically was 1985 and they didn't have the interweb then :-)

You're not legally entitled to return a purchase for refund and/or exchange unless the goods are faulty. The retailer can of course offer a 'no questions asked' returns service if they choose but they are under no legal obligation to do so.

You don't have to keep it. That's the beauty of conservatism (with a small 'c') - it puts choice in the hands of the citizen rather than the state. I assume pensioners who don't need this handout give it to a charity of their choice? Or, of course, we could always get the government to deploy an expensive and beaurocratic means testing system for it....

cit·i·zen (st-zn) n. 1. A person owing loyalty to and entitled by birth or naturalization to the protection of a state or nation. 2. A resident of a city or town, especially one entitled to vote and enjoy other privileges there. 3. A civilian. 4. A native, inhabitant, or denizen of a particular place: "We have learned to be citizens of the world, members of the human community" (Franklin D. Roosevelt). [Middle English citisein, from Anglo-Norman citesein, alteration (perhaps influenced by dainzain, denizen) of Old French citeain, from cite, city; see city.]

Ah, though it might. Just saw it in today's London evening standard and assumed it was a fresh slant on things.
