Milner should've been sent off and probably Baines as well. Have to say I got some nasty looks when I was cheering Ghana on in the pub! Gyan's goal was no less than they deserved, although England had them pinned back into their own half for most of the game.

He looks good from the academy highlights, but if we feel he's surplus to requirements then good luck to him. Sure he'll be a good pro. Same goes to Hoskins and the others as well.

I'm not around for any of the dates, i'm in Scotland when he's in London and i'm in Hampshire when he's in Scotland. He'll be back though, we love him over here and he knows it!

Damn straight! Although if such a situation were to arise, i'd probably do myself in. Waaayy too much of a p*ssy to cope with all that sh*t!

The Zombie Survival Guide is my bible.

Come on geeks, which ones do you read? I've fallen in love with the Walking Dead graphic novel, i've read them all from Issue #1 through #81 (with #82 due out in April), and i've read Watchmen, Scott Pilgrim etc. as well. Any recommendations?

Of course it's great to see some Lib Dem policies being inacted, but they're being drowned out. People will still vote Lib Dem, they just need to establish themselves in this coalition rather than being 'the other guys' in order to give their voters the confidence to vote in them again. The reason that people are becoming disillusioned with the Libs is that they feel that they're losing their identity as a party by constantly having to agree, agree, agree, I agree with David, agree, agree, we support this notion, agree etc in order to get a few policies across. They're getting a raw deal as far as i'm concerned, and i'd rather have a coalition where the politicans involved had the balls to stand up and say "We don't agree with this policy" rather than becoming faux-Tories just for the sake of the illusion of peace within the government. I'd rather have a coalition that's honest about their opposition to policy than one which is going against its principles by backing massive cuts etc. which it has vehemently protested against for decades. Rant over, i'm going for a cigarette.

True that it wasn't an equal vote, but idealistically a coalition government should be equal in terms of MPs. Split it down the middle, two parties, one half each. It's no secret that the Lib Dems are getting arsef*cked on a regular basis by the Tories over policy, they're being appeased by having some minor policies implemented while the majority of the other policies inacted by the coalition have been almost exclusively Tory. If the coalition goes on much longer, the Lib Dem leaders will come under a lot of pressure from other MPs in the party to withdraw from the coalition. However, like you say, they get a sniff of power and they're happy to be bent over by Cameron et al. just so they get a notepad with 'Minister of blah blah' or 'Secretary of State for blah blah' at the top of it. I have it on in the background, that way it'll soak into my unconscious mind

Not if the minority party has a minimal say on decision-making and heading up departments. 18 Conservatives in the cabinet compared to 5 Lib Dems (23 Tories if you include those who attend meetings) doesn't seem particularly equal to me for a coalition.

Adkins doesn't need anyone to tell him how to get promoted out of L1 - he did it twice with Sc*nthorpe, he even won the league with them! We're in safe hands, people are worrying too much.

I was 1 year old when Castlemorton happened...nothing comes close now to what I read about the rave scene in the 90s. If I could choose an era to go back to at the age I am now, it'd be the 60s, with the 90s following close behind..

Buying a ST doesn't make you a fan. If I lived on the other side of the country to my team, i'd probably buy a ST for the local team.

Creepy - i'm watching that Bill Hicks show right now...

Gloryhunters!

He just wants to see regular football, and he's living right next to the Withdean at the moment so he usually goes most weeks currently. My mates studying in Sunderland, Bristol and Swansea also go to games from time-to-time as well.

I don't think so, and neither does standing up from the sofa too quickly.

...nobody's done any psychedelics?

It's true, people are f*cking morons. But explaining everything with flow charts just makes me sad.

Have the Tories actually tried to explain any of their policies without the use of pretty pictures?

Hemorrhoid.

I don't have a problem with people from affluent areas - according to government statistics my home constituency of Hart is among some of the least deprived places in England by a number of measures. It's the character of the "toff" politician that I have a problem with. Pomposity and arrogance are two things that I really can't stand, and unfortunately it seems to be present in a lot of people who go through education systems like our politicians do. It's a stereotype, but one that's undoubtedly present in society.

My first professional football game was when I was 6 - Aberdeen vs St. Johnstone at McDiarmid Park in 1997. Boring game, but I loved it. If she's interested in football then take her along, but you shouldn't force her to be interested in it. Remember, she's a 4 year old girl, not a 14 year old boy.

Too slow MLG - delldays already made that point AND I had enough time to edit the post before you replied! Are you feeling under the weather?

What do you mean by that exactly?

My bad, figured it was 28k for some reason.
