I liked 'can we have the DVD?' I thought it was grossly over-the-top policing that assumes everyone is a potential wrongdoer. The police are there to serve us, not the other way round. It's enough to cause a riot. I was once told that they do it so that if there is trouble later they can identify people caught on CCTV by their clothing.

Education has not been the same since the abolition of the grammar schools. There aren't many of us left who remember them.

Just ask yourself for a moment... Why on earth would anybody in Bulgaria be interested in Saints v Bolton in a tinpot cup?

Point taken, you were right to correct me in this respect. Personally, I have experienced no evidence of improving standards in any of the public services, save perhaps health, but that has in no way reflected the vast amounts of borrowed money that have been poured down its gulleys. However, I take my hat off to Blair for this action whatever his motives. Amongst other papers I read the Daily Mail and a few days ago they were trying to make capital out of the fact that he will, in their words, 'save' a lot of tax by giving money to charity. This 'saved' money will not go into his pockets, but will further enhance the value of his donations. They were trying to make a cheap and invalid point, in my opinion.

That is an interesting thought. Let's hope we're successful with at at least one of those, if not more!

It isn't essential to me, but it is for the long-term health of the club.

I think you have answered your own question there.

I was referring to yours

Oh dear. Obviously education was, for starters.

Some of those 32583 will have been yours....

I've just flown with Flybe and I read throug their FAQs. They mantion a 24 hour grace period for changing a name. After that it's 25£, I believe.

That would be entirely appropriate, and beyond question.

I don't fly back until tomorrow afternoon. I shall be thinking of him.

We've got rid of a lot of very ordinary players, in my opinion. We have had to buy a completely new team.

Probate does not affect the running of the company which is legally a separate body. There is nothing to stop the Chief Executive/Managing Director from carrying on as before. The same happens with any company when a shareholder dies, which happens quite often.

We should not be afraid of anybody. They should be scared of us.

This Messier? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Messier

I always go to the toilet at half-time but last Saturday I never had the chance. I think that's why we lost. It's lucky we didn't win 9-0 or I would have had to go without a half-time pee for the rest of the season.

I didn't see him in his usual seat but absence of evidence is not evidence of absence.

Oh, the english version of the MALI site says 'Ms Katharina Liebherr' and the german 'Frau Katharina Liebherr' so we don't actually know if she is married.

My thoughts too - not for me, you understand but for a close friend. She is certainly rich which is the first criterion.

I'm with you, Arizona.

I'm not sure what to think or feel. I lost my business partner to cancer at 64, my wife lost her sister at 54. When you get to my age, and Markus was only a year older than me, you become more and more accustomed to sudden losses and having to adapt to them. The world will keep on turning, the sun will still rise tomorrow, and yet somehow everything seems to have lost some of it's colour, some of it's hopefulness. They say that nobody's indispensable, but I can't really believe that about Markus. With hard work and fortitude we shall rise again but as the Greeks used to say "the gods laugh at those who make plans".

This not just for us, the fans, it also would send a message to all who were close to Markus showing how much we all respected and loved him. It would confirm to them what a great club this is, and how Markus had made the right choice in buying us.
