Whitey Grandad

It's not quite that simple.

That lot get too much of our money already. Time to get rid of the Scottish mafia and have an English Parliament.

Once again, we agree on something! Sometimes the only way to reform a company that has ingrained working practices is to close it down and start again. It happened with the car industry.

The country will not accept another unelected Prime Minister, and if the Libs prop up Labour yet again they will be back to a handful of MPs and the 'Taxi'. Brown has no chance of getting a PR vote through the commons. If this were to go ahead there would be riots.

Isn't that how it happens in school sports days?

Shouldn't that be a quarter of those who voted?

No, but I can work a bit of magic when I have to.

No, there was strong Treasury advice against. He has actually lost more than Black Wednesday.

Yes, Portuguese and Catalan have a J and not an H

It's not worldwide everywhere and if it was no fault of the (ex)government, why did they claim that only they could get us out of it?

As opposed to what? A permanent recession in the communist economies?

But with no FA cup to show for it!

The recession was an inevitable result of the false boom. The problem we have is that Brown has spent and borrowed so much money that we hadn't actually earnt yet that we are now in the deep doggy-dos. We are paying £43 billion a year in interest charges and it is rocketing upwards.

There was no clear outcome and trying to read anything into the figures is rather pointless, except to say that the Conservatives received more votes than Tony Blair in 2005, which I repeat is meaningless.

That's strange, my nightmare started in 1997

Yes but there is an extra layer beneath as we have seen with Nordrhein-Westfalen yesterday. What I am saying is that direct comparisons with the German political system can be misleading.

Bit of a waste of 9 points, really.

Ok, what are they offering on Hughes being sacked next May?

James should never play RB again. Semi is at least a specialist RB, but nothing special. Let's hope we are signing this Calderon and that he's as good as we have heard.

£800k per position according to Sky. Their prize money could not have been lower.

That man hasn't got a clue about money.

Well said. I also hate all this boorish cheering when the results are announced.

I was in the Kingsland right behind the shot and for a moment I though he was going to save it but just his fingertips and a diversion, I'm afraid. I applauded the goal though.

Germany is a federal government of different states. Parties might just not agree on anything.

　 This is now getting too long for anybody to read. Perhaps we should restrict ourselves to individual discussion henceforth.
