  1. Are you on a promise? (Crap day though)
  2. How about long-term sickness benefit? How many on that these days?
  3. I'm looking forward to it already. From now on we shall finish in a higher position every season, and I haven't said that for a long while.
  4. Not doing what he was told?
  5. And what was wrong with the 80s? We have been going steadily downhill since then and the state has been taking an increasingly large share of what we all produce as a society with horrific results. But that is not the main point. If people cannot take risks and earn the rewards in this country then they will go to others where they can. I discussed this once in a private meeting with Nigel Lawson when he was chancellor, and he said that the idea is to encourage people to stay in Britain and pay taxes here. Oh, and the relatively rich are taxed more even with a flat tax, but why on earth should they? Should they pay more for a loaf of bread?
  6. Oh FFS. I bloody well hope note. Have we learnt nothing from the last few years?
  7. No no no. It doesn't work like that. Rich man pays less tax, spends more money. Rich man spends it more wisely than the government. Money is made 'round' to go round. Everything works more efficiently. There is an 'optimum' tax rate at around 20% which maximise the total tax take for the government. Anything above that is pure political spite.
  8. BBC have now corrected the score
  9. BBc website also says 2-1 to Saints. Papa with a penalty on 84.22 ??????
  10. Seaborne for Harding according to BBC
  11. And he won't be able to play for them either.
  12. That's what he said in the post-match interview.
  13. Oh yes we can, and with money stolen from the poor British taxpayer.
  14. True, except for Fratton Park.
  15. You don't subsidise people by not stealing money (taking taxes) from them, the same way that you're not subsidising them by not charging them for the air that they breathe.
  16. But there was no longer the horrendous cost of maintenance.
  17. An opinion is not a fact. Fact
  18. An opinion is not a fact. Fact
  19. These would be necessary, prudent and unpleasant, measures whoever was running the club.

  21. At Spurs the fans thought he was so bad that he became a standing joke amongst them.

  23. A true gentleman. I met him once when I was a student at Cambridge. I was walking back from the engineering labs with my mate when this Hillman Hunter estate pulled up and the white-haired fellow inside leant over and asked us if we knew the way to the Union. I started to explain but my mate said it was on our way and it would be easier if we jumped in so off we went. He was speaking at a debate later that evening. My mate later said that he only suggested getting in the car because he recognised the driver and couldn't remember his name. I'd never heard of him at the time, ignorant youth that I was.
