  1. 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.
  2. All public expenditure is taken from the private sector, either now or borrowed against the future.
  3. Charlton and possibly Saints
  4. Is that your answer to everything, Fuengi? Increase public spending?
  5. What about the businesses that are struggling to survive?
  6. Only 2 !
  7. And leaves us poorer when we devalue.
  8. 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.
  9. They have to find out who the driver was and you don't have to tell them.....
  10. Look carefully at the terms and conditions. You may find that they can fine you.
  11. 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
  12. Is that in total or for each leg of the journey?
  13. There's also one in Newport (Wales, not Isle of Wight) http://maps.direct.gov.uk/LDGRedirect/MapAction.do?ref=passportofficesregional#mapanchor
  14. The male or the female ones?
  15. As a bit of entertainment, if you think that was bad: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RnoEOeMmt4E
  16. It's a photo of London. Technically, it's a marvel but the choice of subject is also important.
  17. I was born there. I suppose it has some importance, it's just that Londoners think that it's the centre of the universe and anything outside is not worth a mention.
  18. The Brighton player had just kicked the ball away so Kelvin stupidly shoved him in the back. The referee was calling that player back for a rollicking/booking when his number was held up for substitution so I guess that the referee decided to let him off.
  19. The comment that I read said that she would probably have got nothing in court. I guess that he felt he could afford £2m out of over £50m just to avoid the bother. My son got divorced recently and insisted on no spousal maintenance. I know of one woman who went to the judge complaining that she couldn't make ends meet and when the judge looked at all the details he said he could not award her any more than one penny a year extra. But it's a gamble.
  20. It wasn't too bad after all. No wind so not as cold as Saturday, and a geat view of the Moon and all the planes on their landing approaches.
  21. When we went there a few years ago we parked in the residential streets up the hill about half a mile to the south. What I normally do for a strange ground is get there early, then drive away in the direction you would take to get home and park in the first available space on the left-hand side.
  22. I felt that Kelvin took at least as long as their keeper when taking his goal kicks.
  23. If you could only sing new chants at every game then it would soon get very quiet.
  24. He didn't have to pay her. He chose to settle out of court.
