Presumably he means that they have to show up AND show the right attitude and effort.

OK, if you like that sort of thing (blue-eyed soul). Daryl Hall is certainly a good vocalist - did some interesting work with Robert Fripp, for instance.

Well. I am studying the table after each game, and comparing our fixtures and results with those around us. I've not given up all hope yet. We can still survive. Where there's life, there's hope.

Lots of positives, though, for the other 10%? There was a time when motorcyclists didn't have to wear helmets. Is it a better thing now, do you think, that it's mandatory?

Thanks to you and Minty for the help!

I'm interested to know how to calibrate my computer screen. Any advice would be gratefully received!

They don't help if you fall and bang your head on icy snow? Would Richardson be alive now if she'd been wearing a helmet?

Of course we care - what else has the angst and delirium of the last few months been about?

Have we ever won a "must-win" game?

To quote Bill Shankly: "We murdered them 0-0."

You know what, I don't find any humour in this situation.

I agree - great album! I saw her in concert in Toronto last October - an excellent performance!

I can't believe the negative comments about Neil Young on here. "What a load of tosh"? "Whoopdeedoo"? I can't let comments like that go! I can only assume that you people are ignorant of his work. Or have never seen him live before. Or don't like rock 'n' roll. Here are a few superb albums of his you ought to check out: Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere, After the Goldrush, Rust Never Sleeps. And there are many more excellent ones! Neil Young - one of the true greats of rock music. Still putting out good music after all these years. And he's kept his integrity intact. "Hey, hey; my, my; Rock 'n' roll will never die"

Thanks - that's useful! [bump]

I wonder what Australia's aboriginal people think of this view of their country's culture and history? By the way, this "Christian" God that is spoken of above is the same God that the Muslims believe in - just a different name. Both religions are monotheistic; to speak philosophically, they just use different names for the same "ground of being".

Not for me, anyway. Very frustrating! OS shows the team line-up - identical to last week.

Great news, Tim. Thanks for keeping us informed.

... "Unfortunately, information about Mr Harris' disability was accidentally entered into the name column, which was not noticed prior to the letter being sent." ... Sounds reasonable at first, but if that was the case then the greeting ought to have been "Dear Mr. blind man", not "Dear Mr. Blindman".

My general point: the right-wing Republican faction (under Cheney, Rumsfeld, etc.) that has run the country for the last 8 years has been a disaster. They have left the economy in ruins. And now the Republicans have the gall to try to block the new administration from attempting to fix the problem. If banks and other financial institutions have to be nationalised ("socialism"), it's the fault of the Bush administration. They served the interests primarily of the very rich and powerful. What the Republicans of that stripe really ought to do is slink off in silence for a long while and hide their heads in shame. They had their go and they f*cked up big time. A couple of specific points: Your comments about the media make me smile. The U.S. has a very right-wing biased media. It is nearly all corporately-owned media. We can get all that media up here in Canada - and we can see how outrageous it is. Bill O'Reilly on Fox epitomises the arrogant, bullying, ignorant, self-centred attitude prevalent in that right-wing media. We're lucky enough to have a strong publicly-owned broadcaster here in Canada - it is much more even-handed. And we're used to having Canadian policies, institutions, and media being labelled "communist" and "socialist" by right-wing Americans who know nothing about Canada and don't seem willing to listen to other ways of doing things. And as to your reference to an "Obama/Pelosi dictatorship" - get a grip, man! Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought that Obama was elected to serve four years as President and that voters also gave the Democrats a majority in Congress. That's not dictatorship - that's called the "will of the people".
