When we speak of 'printing money', we are not really talking about the physical notes printed, I thought. This 'folding cash' represents only a fairly small percentage of 'Money', and it must represent much less than it did 25 years ago when I did economics A level (go me!) Think 'printing money' really means issuing bonds etc and it's unlikely we'll revert to wheeeling round barrow loads of notes, though I know this would appeal to certain post Weimar aspirantists. Having said that, following the total global collapse in society and the inevitable thermo dynamic nuclear war that follows, we may indeed have to revert to tokenistic representations of wealth. Instead of shells, we shall use defunct mobile phones as currency, which is good as I have at least twenty of them which I never recycled!

Ah, made me tune into Hawksbee and Jacobs from far away. Nothing has changed in 2 years since I last listened! Some good points, some bad points. Like others have said, Moose's job is to be a ****, and he does it well.

Would he not get shafted by his agent if he took a pay cut, as that's basically cutting the agent's income? I assume he has an agent and I also assume the agent will fk him over on future deals also. It may be difficult to take a pay cut if you've signed up to an agent deal!

Well if it's goats, there's always a reason for fantasy. The eyes. Remind me of the ex. Possibly the hooves.

It's the same in Oz, mainly because most of the coaches are from the UK, I guess. But the most effective way of winning kids games is hoofing it - bodies in the box and a rolling maul for a goal. Unless you're up against a well drilled passing side, but I think kids' instincts are still to get the ball forward, or be a 'selfer', it's only when they're shown and can operate a passing style that they see the benefit. I think my nipper (who I rate, obviously) understands this, but can't rely on his teammates to be able to control, or even kick the ball, so he hoofs it - no point in passing round the back when they're going to lose 10 nil that way. Grrrrrr. (It's killing me he's in a s5it side!!!!)

Thanks, mate. Forces beyond our comprehension have removed the JayRod/goat link

Isn't saying that what got whassisface sacked from Sky. 'Would you smash it?' Issues?

Thanks for your help guys. I was particularly amused by post #5, however, can anyone offer a real insight into how megs a live stream would likely take?

When we were last in Prem, I think we took the pre-season games very casually, not caring if we won or lost (if we won lots we'd do s hit come the start of the season, if we lost loads, didn't care). However, I think there might be some proper competition in these games, with our new horizons set, so I think we can see them as fairly meaningful fixtures - wont get downhearted if we lose the lot, but I think the players will be putting in some graft. I know they will!

Hi, my financial situation has gone pompey wise and I'm trying to figure out how much of the euros I can afford to stream. I know that downloading a film from BBC iPlayer costs me 700Mb for, say, a 2 hour film, so that's 700*1.47=about 10 dollars (aus). So, if I watched a match for 2 hours on a legal (bbc) or dodgy stream, would it cost me about the same in terms of data transfer? Or would the low quality stream not transfer so much data, thus costing me less, albeit I'd probably have to load a bunch of ads? I can get BBC via a VPN thing which costs 5 GBP a month, but that's prepaid till August. So, given that I am on prepaid, how much do you think it costs to stream?

ill educated footballer shock! (n terms of 'political correctness'and how the dumbass can't differentiate between the pub and twitter).

Personally speaking, alcohol is very expensive and has screwed up my life - however it is something you can consume in publiic and still behave within socially acceptable norms (so long as you're not a violent cvnt). If dope was legal, I'd have a cheap spliff or two every other night with a cup of tea and be very happy. The paranoia only really kicks in when you're stoned and trying to integrate with drunk/non-stoned people. It suits people who like small groups and meaningless or deep conversation. From my selfish point of view, I'd ban alcohol and make (non-skunk) dope legal. Think this would make the UK and other screwed societies a better place. Agree, however, that the strong stuff can make you mad.

His great grand-daddy, Woody, does a cracking rendition of OWTS.

Have you got a big emmelltee in there? A big fish in a small pond can do amazing things, but shouldn't be transferred to a bigger pond in case its red and white colouring fades.

I'm amazed that Lambert can manage one Premier team and still be a top striker in another. Is anything beyond his capabilities?

How does the cameraman film from outside the plane? And why is he only filming one person - the only one where there's an accident? I'm suspecting a bit of self promotion here.

Think we should aim to beat Wigan. And remember not to do a Hull and go to the top too early.

Well, I'm chuffed that they'll be available on iplayer, coz the main MOTD wasn't these season just finished. TBH, haven't really watched it since we went down, good time ahead!

Now this is an idea. Erect a lightweight, springly pole in the goalmouth and have a defender twang it occasionally - would be particulary effective for penalties and would enable a 0-1-10 total attack option.

You don't need a trophy for coming second - your reputation is enhanced anyway.

In Oz, you get fined more if you are travelling over 13km/h over the speed limit (just completed the form declaring the ex was driving...). KM to miles is divide by 8 times by 5 - So, that's (13/8)*5. Which is 1 and 5/8 *5. Which is 5 and 25/8. Which is 8 and 1/8. Which is 8.125 mph over the limit, because 100 divided by 8 is 12.5 and it seems reasonable that .125 is the answer I'm looking for, but it's basically guessing - 'sense checking'. I was a real plodder at maths.

Divide by zero fail.

I'm gutted that MOTD isn't available on iPlayer - I wanted to see the faces of the ManU fans when the winner went in! Damn.

Yeah, but if you fall asleep with the pan on it could be dangerous. That's the beauty of microwaves - drunkenly decide to eat something after the pub but fall asleep and wake up with mystery breakfast!
