Yes, it's OTT. Why do some people interpret (poor) attempts at humour as literal statements?

Discuss.

With apologies to Mehball..... Ah, the dumbing down of traditions. That's what I love about this country. What's next? Armistice Day when that becomes too far in the past for anyone to care? The institutions you refer to (BBC, Governments, NHS) have taken the lazy route because they have to cater for the lowest common denominator in society. To use them to justify the lapse is actually backing up my pedantic and petty argument. Nutshell. It's simpler. QED Ok, enough annoying guff from me....well, for another 5 years or so.... ;-)

It's either Dusty Bin or the speedboat. Am I warm?

What's the equivalent cost of driving? (parking, petrol, wear and tear, pro-rata car insurance/car tax, tube, etc)....?

Am I the only one who thinks it's good that these people can say and do what they like (within legal boundaries)? They are simply highlighting the freedom that our forefathers fought for. And, furthermore, the more they shout down this country the more they highlight their hypocrisy. Their aim is to make people angry. I simply refuse to rise to their bait.

Graduates earning that figure will pay less under the "ConDems" than they currently do under the tuition fees introduced by Labour . Let's all storm the Labour HQ in protest....hmmm.....

Connolly? Treatment Room? You sure?

No. Well, not for the next 5 or so years after this year as it gets nice and simple for those who can't work out the difference between a bank holiday and a day of tradition when they both fall on the same day. ;-)

P o p p y c o c k It's nothing to do with bank holidays. Boxing day existed long before someone invented back holidays. Ffs

F.f.S.

Why?

Bob Carolgees?

You're on. Do we have a venue for the tossing?

Apart from when they're double bluffing of course

If he was ex-Southampton left back Mark Dennis, and didn't want to reveal that fact, then my guess is he might: (a) deny he is Mark Dennis and (b) deny he played for Southampton Just a hunch..... ;-)

Ray Wilkins? http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/c/chelsea/9181246.stm "Chelsea have announced they are not renewing the contract of assistant manager Ray Wilkins and that he is to leave the club with immediate effect."

I say get rid of all MPs and let the Queen and her family run their country instead of entrusting it to the people and their inept representatives. Now that would save a few bob....

Depends which of the infinite number of universes you are referring to.

Nail. Head. So, why can't they grasp the simple fact that the Lib Dems now have to act in accordance with being in power rather than still acting in the fantasy land of 3rd party opposition where you can say you'll do anything you like because you know you'll never get to put it into practice? Either Lib Dem voters (the student subset in particular) are either very naive to believe that pre-election pledges can be carried out in shared power unconditionally or they're just not very bright. Yes, the Lib Dem MPs were equally naive to make unconditional pledges in the first place but that doesn't excuse the naivity of the people that voted for them. Two wrongs don't make a right.

I chose not to go to university so can't really comment. But what would be interesting to know is how the 'free' higher education in the past affected the public purse. Were taxes overall higher to pay for it or was money diverted from other public expenditure to pay for it? Genuine question.

I would like to take "direct action" against the purportraitors of yesterday's unrest as I disagree with their views. Anyone know which windows I need to hurl bricks through? It's what they would want
