Fair enough, but whilst most of the private sector have had to take a cut in pay, a pay freeze or pension contributions being stopped do the public sector think they should be immune, it's almost like they think they're above it all.

Which are? As far as i know we now live longer, which means people spend more time in retirement which somebody has to pay for, who pays?

Apparently it's not improving mudwise at the moment, many rumblings from friends working down there about coming home due to conditions, and they've worked in wet conditions before down there so it must be pretty awful. It needs the wind to keep up and some sunshine. -
I'd vote for paying lower taxes if i promised to 'off' myself at 70 before becoming a tax burden to my children and grandchildren.

He is a little swarthy, but i think he just aspires to be one.

Stella tastes like chemicals although strangely Stella 4% is great, go figure.

Looks like he went drink driving in his Porsche, the pictures of the car are horrific, what a stupid way to die if true.

I'll get more reports during the week, on all the wether forecast sites its looking like rain every day except tomorrow. It's not the being wet that's the problem its not being able to sit anywhere and it makes the journeys between stages bloody knackering, getting to The Park will be a tall order for most. Just remember to keep some dry clothes to sleep in and if necessary wear wet clothes again :-( -
Yeah, but nippers today, no respect.

GLASTONBURY SITE REPORT! Back from Glastonbury after delivering my caravan to our compound yesterday, the site is a state, there was 3" of standing water where our caravan normally goes and i managed to get stuck on virgin grass (rescued by a tow from a lovely lady with a tele-handler). This was my 10th or 11th year working and i've not seen the site this bad before the punters get there, bear in mind the grass is untouched in the arenas and looks lush but all the tracks and paths are caked in mud already, another 160,000 pairs of feet won't improve matters. Even if i had a ticket i wouldn't go unless it gets 2-3 days of sun to dry the site, walking round is just knackering and then having nowhere to sit just takes the ****. Good luck to you all and if anybody get's into too much grief they can contact me through the forum and i may be able to help. Behind the Pyramid Stage, under the water is the hardcore road! -
Laganas is without the worst holiday i've ever been on, it's full of Shameless types throwing up everywhere, oh, and if the STI's don't get you the mossies will!! Three of us were bitten and ended up hugging the toilet for two days. Stock up on repellent. Having said that have a great time and double wrap when ****ging.

Depends on what it is, the trade treat everything the same whilst some models have niche markets which can be exploited. For instance w124 and w201 Mercedes can fetch more being broken for spares than being sold whole, infact some options on these models can be worth quite a bit on their own. A little research can reveal quite a lot.

I love Dune's fishing expeditions, do you think he has a strategy like TalkSport or just goes for it? Can we have a poll please Mods?

I'd add desperate to that.

McClaren is a decent manager, nobody comes out of the England job with credit.

Oh yeah, staff travel rocks apparently, i'm thinking of asking him to adopt so i don't need to fork out my life savings every time i visit! I'll be over at Christmas and New Years if you fancy a beer or three? -

I'm just going to see him in the minute, he's borrowing the German Taxi whilst visiting. Was that you? It sounded alright, maybe a career change in the offing? -

There was occasional match reports from Redlands Utd Vs. Olympic on the Danny Baker Saturday morning show on BBC 5Live this morning between 9.15-9.20am on iPlayer if you can get it in Oz? -

All the 'Cool' people will hate it, **** them, let them be miserable the normal fans will like it for the novelty but if you're sat anywhere near me you'll be blowing the instrument through another orifice.

To be honest after your limp performance last time i'd rather hire a professional than a keen amateur.
