I would ask you to retract that statement. There's good and bad in everyone.

We only ever knew him as 'Spud'. He lived around Romsey somewhere and passed away many years ago. I used to bump into him going to away games. He must have been in his thirties when the cancer got him. RIP Spud, you and all the others who won't be able to be with us on Sunday.

Oradour-sur-Glane, just north of Limosges. It was mentioned at the beginning of 'World at War' http://www.oradour.info/

Fortunately I will have just scraped in on this one. I feel sorry for you youngsters though.

Not for women, and in these days of equality it has to be the same for both sexes. So it can be either 60 or 65, just so long as it's equal.

It should count itself lucky. I was once working in the garden whilst my wife was upstairs ironing. She emptied the contents of the steam iron over me. Luckily she didn't drop it.

Brilliant! I want one but not if any of the money goes to that lot. Can't it go to gun-runners in Somalia instead?

That would need a moleapult.

Correct - it comes from watching Saints

He must be bad if we can do without him. - oh yes, I remember now.

Anything is non-lethal so long as you don't point it at yourself.

How will they check? Land Registry, presumably?

My uncle was in the RAF regiment and saw Belsen and others at the end of the war. After that, he never wanted to have any children.

I went through all this last year when I unfortunately had to make an employee's position redundant. There is a free advice for employees in this situation (ACAS for example). It is common for a company to offer a settlement on condition that there will be no further action. Such acceptance cannot make an unfair action fair, but the offer may be better than the statutory redundancy money, which is not a lot.

Is that over 65 or over 60? I just asked for a senior ticket, which for Saints is over 60, and that's what they sent me, no questions asked.

Then they may have a clear case for unfair dismisal. If the correct procedures have not been followed then the dismissal is automatically unfair.

An irishman is walking home in the dark after a night on the town when he is propositioned by a prostitute. They are going at it in his car when a policeman shines a torch through the window. 'What's going on here then?', says the policeman. 'I'm just making love to my wife' says the irishmen. 'I'm sorry, sir. I didn't know that was your wife'. 'Neither did I 'til you shined your torch on her.'

If they lose on Saturday at White Hart Lane, then the most they can get is 31 points. Wolves and Wigan already have 31 and West Ham have 27, so it's only really West Ham that they could conceivably catch. The Hammers have home games against Stoke, Sunderland, Wigan and Man City, and are away to Everton, Liverpool and Fulham Portsmouth are away at Wigan on the 14th April

You, I counted them at just under 200, about 180 then I fell asleep. (Not really)

What I hate is that every american film has to have a shot through the windscreen of two people screaming with their mouths open. What's all that about?

One of the greatest ever songs: and for added poignancy:

This one is from when I was working in Toronto. I used to visit ny friends 20 miles upstate and then drive back to the city late at night in winter. Gradually the lights of the city would come into view, twinkling fabulously in the sub-zero air. I would have the car radio on and this was all you ever heard. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dc3xY4UTeDU
