To get the good rates you would need 25% deposit, maybe 20% if you have a special banking deal. Lower deposit mortgages are available from a few lenders but the rate can be up around 6%

I saw a house in Alresford this morning with a photovoltaic panel on the roof. It was covered in snow.

You must work in a very antiquated organisation. Such institutions disappeared along with black and white films. Everyone is an employee, bosses and workers, and each is paid for doing a job. Every business has to create wealth or it will die. If we follow your policy of inflexible working practices then what you have is a workforce of robotic slaves and you should not be surprisd if you are treated as such.

There is no such thing. Renewables cannot come close to providing even our minimum needs.

Are they asking for money now? Is Portsmouth FC a registered charity????

I neverbother to buy food or drink because of the queues and I don't want to miss any of the football. I wonder how much money they lose because of this.

Ta, I knew it was West something.

They'll almost certainly be bottom at Christmas. Only West Ham have been there and survived, I believe.

Big news in Watford could be anything, like a broken manhole cover....

Accrington Stanley?

Would somebody please close this thread and let us all go up the pub and celebrate?

I never noticed before! Think how many he would score if he had two.

But if we succeed, other must fail!

He may be a footballer but he's not daft enough to say 'last year's'.

BT's goal at dellhurst park is a special memory.

It's a pity that there isn't any phots of the reaction of the Norwich players when they missed their last penalty. Some were hopping up and down with clenched fists in frustration.

I've looked at it again and paused the highlights and he does not leave his line until the ball is kicked. There was one instance where he definitely got it wrong. In the first half Norwich took a quick free-kick and Rickie intercepted but was not 10 yards away so the ref stopped play and had a word with Rickie. According to the Laws of the Game: 'If a player decides to take a free kick quickly and an opponent who is less than 9.15 m from the ball intercepts it, the referee must allow play to continue.' So there!

... immediately followed by this: When competition rules require there to be a winning team after a match or home-and-away tie, the only permitted procedures for determining the winning team are those approved by the International F.A. Board, namely: • away goals rule • extra time • kicks from the penalty mark

I just happened to be reading through the 'Laws of the Game' and I came across this definition. 'The team scoring the greater number of goals during a match is the winner. If both teams score an equal number of goals, or if no goals are scored, the match is drawn.'

Don't all footballing debts have to be paid before the other creditors in order for the PL to allow exit from administration? So if you bought the debt for £1m you would probably go to the back of the queue.

That's disappointing. I'm almost dead-centre at 0.25, -0.67 so down very slightly and not even right of centre. I found the answers a little limiting, either 'agree' or 'disagree', no 'whatever'.

Like us MK Dons seem to prefer Tuesdays for their home fixtures so unless TV steps in I would expect Tuesday 19th. Can't you buy here a ticket as a present?

I think I must be somewhere off the grid at the bottom right.

That is brilliant work and the photographer should be proud of them, although how anybody can concentrate on the players when the shootouts going on I don't know. I like the one of papa's second. The looks of horror on the Norwich players' faces! I don't know how Papa can hit the ball, his eyes are looking elsewhere.
