Gutted for the guy, he's worked so hard to overcome his injuries and then he just gets knocked back on his arse again.

Shame for Rickie, he must be gutted. There's one thing you can't take away from him, even if he plays crap, and that is his brilliant attitude.

We're not exactly the only military force deployed over there, the Americans still have Uber Marines who could be deployed to fill the gap left by UK soldiers. Just got to concentrate on training the Afghan forces to deal with the problem.

What about our deployment in Afghanistan? Our soldiers aren't up to the job apparently, so we won't bother. Would go a long way to helping cut the budget defecit.

I'm not sure driving lessons are a luxury, being able to drive is pretty much a necessity nowadays I would argue. It was a necessity for his job anyway.

Just had a vision of The Bluetones playing to a venue otherwise empty except for one sheepish Baj, holding a pint of lemonade.

It took me two years to get a Saturday job (well, it was Sunday really), they're pretty scarce at the moment. I didn't even get it first time round either, somebody else got the job I was interviewed for but I was called back a few weeks after my interview because somebody had quit due to ill health. Anyone that says "get a job" should actually TRY and be a 16 year old male with limited work experience applying for a job, it's pretty bloody difficult. Having been a college student last year, I would argue that my opinion about people 'needing' the EMA is more valid (even though it makes me sound like a reet *****). I went to college in Farnborough, middle-England, middle-class, and you would expect people to be pretty sorted for money. There were obviously your rich kids dressed head-to-toe in Jack Wills and Abercrombie, but there were also a lot of kids who could barely afford to get the train. One of my closest friends had to get a meal card issued to him so he could eat at college, because he had no money left to eat after the travel fees. He also had a job at a newsagents working obscene hours at £5p/h so he could get driving lessons, which were £25p/h. Also, it's a fantastic way of ensuring people actually turn up to lessons, as you can only collect your EMA if you have a 100% attendance record (or some official way of explaining any absence)

You may not have needed the £10 Nexstar, but I knew at least a dozen people at college who depended on it to get to college. Travelling is bloody expensive nowadays, it cost £4 a day for me to get to college and back on the train, that adds up when you have to do it every day. A lot of people rely on the EMA, people who are being unfairly shafted by this cut.

Tbf i'm much more p!ssed off about the EMA scheme being scrapped than the fees being put up. People rely on that scheme, it's a lifesaver for most in higher education.

Arcade Fire - The Suburbs The songs take on a new dimension when you see them live.

F*cking teenagers, they're all lazy morons with nothing to do all day, moaning about the 3 hours of lectures they have to go to a week.

Keith, why weren't you in school today? You missed double english and Mr Roberts was fuming!!!!!!!!!!!11111111111

I lol'd when Nicola said 'strong bondage'.

He invented KY Jelly and was married to Harry Enfield for a bit.

I saw him last season vs Farnborough in a pre-season friendly and he was gash. Against Farnborough.

Would love to see a standing area at SMS, maybe take the seats out of Block 41 and have a barrier at the front of each row? That area would easily sell out every game.

There you go.

This is teh lounge ffs. .......but she is ferking lovely.

I can't wait for Baj's one after hearing about it tonight. No more said about it.

I'm definitely going to take it down a notch with my one (both in quality and feel). Going to have a very folky, laid back feel to it.

Only slightly cheaper than a league game...

Daily Mirror running a story that Adkins has said 'hands off' to clubs, specifically Arsenal, who are trying to sign Chambo. Good on him!

Miss the 5 page thread on this already?

I would be N'credibly surprised if Papa moved to the Prem. He will stay in Italy imo.
