I strongly disagree. We've had a change for a couple of years. Now it's time to get back to the red-and-white stripes and black shorts - as a definitive message that says, "Hey, we're back, and we're here to stay!"

This is such an arbitrary, random dichotomy - if this, then not that. Why? How about both? That was then; this is now. We don't have to give up what we once had in order to get something new. We can do both.

I was there in 1958. Nice swimming pool, where I learned to swim under water.

Police spokesmen who inflate their language to make it sound more important: "At this particular juncture in time [now], we intend to ascertain [we're gonna find out] whether or not [if] the perpertrator resides in any of the domeciles in this area of the city [the suspect lives here]."

No to mention the harm that the US's "permanent war" policy does to their own economy - and to their civil society. There has been, since the 50s, an unholy alliance between government, big business, and the "defence" industry. Eisenhower warned his country about this when he referred to the "military-industrial complex".

I think you'll find that the break-up of the Soviet Union had more to do with resistance from within - especially in Poland (remember Solidarity?) and Czechoslovakia - and the impact of key individuals with real influence, like the Pope and Mikhael Gorbachev.

He did admit, did he not, that he made a mistake coming to Southampton.

It was a cinch, I suppose, that posters would take it in their stride to find as many creative puns as possible. Me? I shy away from this sort of thing. So, I'll let you guys jockey for bragging rights. Really have to hand it to you, though, you've harnessed some good ones.

Saints Player starts 2:40. wtf? It's a home game. Why are they so damned unreliable with this?

Anyone have Saints Player yet? Not a peep for me!

I have Riley's A Rainbow in Curved Air on vinyl, but haven't listened to it for many, many years. He did an album with John Cale in the late 60s. I have been listening to Cale a lot lately.

Yes, it's guaranteed that he will go for a draw or home win.

Says you. You'd rather have Parliament dominated by lawyers and business-types? People whose primary motivations are self-promotion and acquisition. It's good to have MPs from a wide variety of backgrounds - people with a sense of compassion, for example - who care about other people, and who want to improve and protect cultural and educational institutions.

Good stuff. I wouldn't call that a rant. It sounds like plain speaking to me - what they call, these days, "telling truth to power".

Player of the Season? Tough choice as of now between Schneiderlin and Lambert. If Schneiderlin had scored a few more goals he'd be the easy choice. Also. 0ur season seemed to turn decisively for the better once Boruc and Cork becamer regulars in the team. Shaw wins easily for Young Player of the season.

"Mother Knows Best" by Richard Thompson

Yes it is - my way. Shaken, not stirred!

I do not disgaree with you. I have not expressed any glee at her passing. But I disliked the woman intensely for both her politics and for her deplorable treatment of other people - as I have tried to explain in my contributions to this thread. Some posters on here seem to like her in the same way - not just for her policies, but also for the way she bullied and derided other people. I have also tried to raise the issue of her foreign policy, by the way, but nobody else seems interested.

Car gurus? How about checking out Maharishi Mahesh Motors?

Yeah, that's the spot - near The Four Alls Inn. Thanks for the correction. Didn't know that - to me, all boats on a canal are barges!

Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't Foot a gentleman - a thinker and a writer? [A "wet", as Thatcher would put it.] Why would he generate vile and hate? Thatcher created conflict because of her arrogant, condescending attitude. She alienated people because of her abrasive, bullying personality. Combine that with her take-no-prisoners political tactics, and you begin to understand the animosity she generated.
