Whitey Grandad

He made a good save late on Saturday but I think his positioning was faulty for their goal.

I used to work with someone from Shrewsbury who said it should be pronounced 'Shrewsbury' and not the way that the BBC do it. They call Romsey 'Rumsey', FGS.

I agree. Why don't you email him? (or D.Luker)

I think it's called 'mucus' but that's probably too much information.

To be fair, Fonte scored well into stoppage time at the end of the first half. I noticed that D'Urso was constantly telling Saints players to get a move on in the second half so perhaps he thought it was for time-wasting. Overall I was not impressed. The drop-ball was 50 yards away from the correct position and he missed a lot of incidents, sometimes by turning his back on them. Also he seemed to get caught up in the action a few times.

Has your lady recently come of the Pill? It can take a long time (over a year) for all systems to return to 'normal'. My daughter took over a year to get pregnant. Then, for their second, they thought that if the first took so long they had better get going quickly. There is only 18 months between their two kiddies.

Something along the lines of 'How do you ensure that there is no political bias in your coverage and do you think you achieve impartiality?' ?

Here's more from the Daily Mail (so it must be true ) http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-436794/What-loneliest-job-Britain-Being-Tory-BBC.html

Such perceptions must of course be subjective, but I have been listening to this programme for a few decades now and it is quite noticeable how the interviewers let Labour politicians speak freely whilst persistently interrupting Conservative speakers.

I remember the interview with Neil Kinnock on the 'Today' programme just before he lost the general election. It was the most cringingly sycophantic bit of radio I have ever heard. Some of us have long memories.

He got caught in possession a few times, to be fair.

I'm sure that when he stopped play the ball was nowhere near the place where he dropped the ball. That was where the injured player was lying.

Thanks for the link. It's a different world today, I'm afraid, but perhaps that's not such a bad thing. My grandad's brother was killed at Arras and I had an uncle who was wounded there. All the research that I've done just reinforces the respect and admiration that I have for each and every one of them.

So what exactly happened to Guly, then?

Sorry, I must have missed you. I'm in the Kingsland and all I could see were blank staring faces.

Sorry to hear that DSM, my condolences to you. I'm not a member at the moment, mainly because I don't have a property in France, but I go there a lot for my business and I am trying to find some way to wrangle membership. I have a share in a business in Paris so if there is anything we can do to help with the odd translation or legal point, please ask.

He certainly wasn't at his best today. There were some unorthodox decisions and he turned his back on one or two incidents. I'm not sure what happened to Guly. The players didn't seem to protest and the crowd behind the goal were cool about it.

No, the allowance for time lost is 'at the discretion of the referee'.

Over here! You're right about pensions too. Brown stole £5bn a year from private pensions.

I don't think he had much choice in the matter.

Set up a sting to catch the bastards, then smash their knuckles to pulp with a hammer. They won't do it again.

That was my first reaction at the time of the crisis. Reduce interest rates to near zero and print a load of new money. Then the government debt erodes faster than we have to pay it. Brown's big spending spree was based on the belief that growth would continue unchecked for the next 10 years or so. Silly boy.

Another point worth considering.... Of the 500,000 public sector jobs that will go, half were taken on since the start of the recession.

We borrow money by selling Gilts on the international markets. If we don't pay back the interest then we shall have defaulted on these loans and we shall never be able to borrow anything again. Basically, we would be f****d.

Hit rocks off Skye apparently: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HMS_Trafalgar_(S107) Allegedly tracing paper (or something) was left covering that part of the charts.
