  1. Is that 50 metres?
  2. What's that lump on the back of his right calf?
  3. Another one is for a couple of cha[s in leather jackets to come p to you, flash some sort or ID and then ask to see your passport. When you hand it over they run off with it.
  4. Wonderful news. They just get better and better. From about 18 months on they start to develop their own personality and become individual little people in their own right. Hang in there, my son was eight before I got a complete night's sleep. Last Sunday I had my son and daughter and their seven grandchildren round for a family barbecue. Nothing can beat that feeling. Besides, you're going to need someone to look after you in your old age.
  5. It's more complicated than that, it depends on the conditions of use. If, for example, you had been hanging your underwear on the back to dry it out or you had it standing next to an electric heater then it may well overheat. Having said that, I'm sure that several manufacturers are chewing their fingernails and checking the flight schedules to Argentina. Probably best to wait for the official reports.
  6. He's 28. HTH
  7. Financially a transfer request means that the player forgoes any loyalty bonus and golden goodbyes.
  8. We had them on a P&O cruise a couple of years ago. The company thought that they would be so popular that they issued tickets and would only let us go to one of their three performances but I refused to be told where and when I can go when I've paid for an expensive holiday so I didn't bother to see them. On their last show I stuck my head round the door to see what all the fuss was about. They were crap, really crap. Their name is an anagram of Bollarco.
  9. I'm also too old for all this teenage angstfest business. Does not 'liking' it mean that you don't like it?
  10. The loss of any child saddens me deeply.
  11. 5:30 evening games completely bugger up a family's Saturday evening and play havoc with your digestion. 3:00 for me, every time. Enough time to get a few things done in the morning and still keep the evening free. In fact, I hate every other time and especially Sundays. I would be quite happy if no games were ever shown on TV.
  12. The Single Market was Thatcher's great achievement so credit where credit is due.
  13. I'd like to think that we can get a lot better than Yoshida and Stephens has still got a lot to learn about his positioning.
  14. Won't this give you an extra two and a half hours drinking time?
  15. They were right, to be fair.
  16. And a bit of a bastard because I shall be away. My fault, I hope I don't miss a thrashing.
  17. We were there several years ago on a cruise and visited from Civitavecchia. A Lazio day pass cost around €9 and included all trains (not expresses 'Freccie'), buses and metro. You can buy in tourist offices and outlets but you must remember to validate them on the little yellow wall-mounted printers.
  18. Fairy muff. It's often overlooked though.
  19. It's not just the fee, there are also the wages to pay. Any deal has to consider both.
  20. Sagan said that he was aware that Cavendish was there.
  21. Isn't there some regulation about having to keep a straight line in the last 200 metres?
  22. It's very rude to talk about somebody when they aren't in the room. ...or is nobody allowed to express any opinions that differ from your own? Wht exactly is wrong with what I put in those two quotes? Isn't this matter now sub judice?
  23. I rather think that's the point.
  24. Your wife is not alone. Poor wage increases apply right across the employment spectrum.Incidentally, how is productivity increasing in the education sector lately?
  25. Those statistics are meaningless. as we have discussed before, unless the shots are graded by 'degree of difficulty'. They can vary from a screamer into the bottom corner to a scuffed dolly drop into the keeper's arms.
