  1. We loved it. Yep, Mahe. Having our own villa with a private pool might have helped the enjoyment levels to be fair That said, I preferred Mauritius to the Seychelles, but would recommend both.
  2. In the video I watched, he wasn't saying that. He was simply saying that if you have quotas based on factors other than how good you are, you *might* not end up with the very best people in a given role. He never says that unqualified or incapable people could end up in said roles. I've only watched that one video though.
  3. Ha! No... I won that particular battle... Ended up going to The Seychelles... 😁⛱️☀️
  4. Appreciate we're going off topic here but would appreciate recommendations of which part(s) of Sardinia to stay as it's on our shortlist for next year. Would be our first visit. And any other tips. Cheers.
  5. 4-0 Selles to pip Martin in the ex-Saints manager sack race.
  6. To repeat an earlier post, I watched the video and it's quite clear to me that he's not being racist, quite the opposite in fact.
  7. That's fairly narrow exclusion criteria...
  8. I watched the whole video and it came across as the complete opposite of racism to me, in that he wants pilots, surgeons, etc, to be selected purely on merit rather than the colour of their skin or their sex.
  9. He could always play the "I've selected Al because Gav was away and I want to go with whoever was here to train all week" card, maybe?
  10. How this for an idea... Have a league of 24 teams.... Everyone plays eachother twice... and the best 3 teams get promoted... Bit too radical maybe...?
  11. I had to do a quick double-take on that headline... "Wig Hunt" read completely differently at first glance...
  12. Scenes from the handover operation just in...
  13. Please tell me we've bought a zoo of some kind... 🐒🐓
  14. Our daughter went to a local private school and my son to the local comprehensive. The private school just happened to be my daughter's preference, not because it was a private school per se (I would say both schools were on a par in terms of quality of teaching, so we weren't doing it to gain some kind of advantage). Whilst we had a relatively decent income I wouldn't describe us as "wealthy" or "rich". We certainly had to make compromises to be able to afford it, and we just about managed it. Anecdotally, having got to know the circumstances of most of the parents in her year during the 5 years she was there, I would say under 20% of the parents could be classed as wealthy / rich (I guess that depends on your definition). Obviously that's a relatively small sample, so might be an outlier admittedly, but who's to say that demographic wasn't mirrored at other private schools across the country? But do continue to scoff and sneer at others' points of view if it makes you feel intellectually superior though...
  15. If every like minded person paid extra it would, wouldn't it?
  16. Nothing stopping you paying additional tax to the treasury any time you like... Don't need to wait for a government to make you do it...
  17. Over to you @Saint Garrett... 😁
  18. Yep, pretty sure that's what Still will start with 👍🏻
  19. This one not your doing then...? 😁
  20. 3-1 Bazunu saves that free kick
  21. If you're saying you'd have to be stupid to vote for someone because of being mocked on social media, then maybe the answer is in your question...
  22. Sometimes it's difficult to work out who's most 'thick'... The actual thick people or the people that continuously mock the thick people...

    Cheers. I seem to recall Manning playing well for us before in midfield, on the odd occasions that he did so. Maybe that's his most natural/ effective position...?
