Whitey Grandad

A good run out for Oscar, I thought that he did what was expected of him.

I was there yesterday and I thought he was doing ok, but I heard some comments from behind me saying that 'none of his passes had found any of our own players, which was patently untrue, but sometimes people see thing according to their own prejudiced preconceptions. His ball control was certainly betters than Guly's.

Cup games also give us the chance to give some of the second-string players a game. Morgan sat out his suspension yesterday (if that's a bonus).

I think our current team might do 'em.

Well said. I am a great believer in apprenticeships which I think are far more appropriate for many of today's school-leavers. To make you all jealous, I took my engineering degree in the late 1960s and my grant was £400 a year for three eight-week terms. On top of that I had £100 a year from the Plessey Co. as a student sponsorship. Nobody graduated with debts in those days, although I have paid a lot back in higher taxes. No snow yet in Chandlers Ford.

Er, not necessarily. The way the 'truth' is represented is also important.

Maybe, but at least I could see the game this time!

He went into a tackle and was hobbling afterwards. I saw them strapping his left ankle but it didn't seem to help. He was sitting on the ground pounding the grass in frustration and looked pretty p1ssed off as he limped off.

PAYE from public sector workers just means that they don't cost the country as much as you might think at first sight, but it comes out of money that has been raised from other taxes. The same goes for their NI. Personal taxes and NI come out of salaries that have been paid by institutions in the private sector. The point is that all the money and wealth has to be generated by the private sector, and some of it is taken (stolen) by the government to spend as it sees fit. If it were to take less tax and leave more to the people and companies that created it, then they could spend it more wisely. What you have called 'public money' has all been created by the private sector.

Everything that you have listed is in the private sector. The money that is taken in taxes from the public sector originally came from the private sector.

And where do the taxes come from?

Yes, the coins were also the same shape and size and it was effectively tied, much like the Barbados and East Caribbean dollars follow the US dollar.

All public expenditure is taken from the private sector, either now or borrowed against the future.

Charlton and possibly Saints

Is that your answer to everything, Fuengi? Increase public spending?

What about the businesses that are struggling to survive?

Only 2 !

And leaves us poorer when we devalue.

They used to use.

McQuoid has just gone to Millwall on loan with a view to a permanent deal so that won't help them. I can't find a definite venue for the playoffs but it's probably a choice between Old Trafford and Cardiff.

They have to find out who the driver was and you don't have to tell them.....

Look carefully at the terms and conditions. You may find that they can fine you.

They were originally Folland, then Aerostructures and are now part of GE Aviation. They made a lot of subcontract parts for Harriers and Hawks and there is a former Red-Arrow gnat outside on a pedestal at the corner of Hamble Lane. The original seaplane slipway is still there at the bottom of Ensign Way. I was in my Mirror dinghy in Portsmouth Harbour the day that the Invincible came back from the Falklands. Once she was safely tied up alongside her Harriers took off, circled and then headed west - to Yeovilton, I believe. What a day that was! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Folland_Aircraft

Is that in total or for each leg of the journey?

There's also one in Newport (Wales, not Isle of Wight) http://maps.direct.gov.uk/LDGRedirect/MapAction.do?ref=passportofficesregional#mapanchor
