  1. The loss of any child saddens me deeply.
  2. 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.
  3. The Single Market was Thatcher's great achievement so credit where credit is due.
  4. 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.
  5. Won't this give you an extra two and a half hours drinking time?
  6. They were right, to be fair.
  7. And a bit of a bastard because I shall be away. My fault, I hope I don't miss a thrashing.
  8. 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.
  9. Fairy muff. It's often overlooked though.
  10. It's not just the fee, there are also the wages to pay. Any deal has to consider both.
  11. Sagan said that he was aware that Cavendish was there.
  12. Isn't there some regulation about having to keep a straight line in the last 200 metres?
  13. 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?
  14. I rather think that's the point.
  15. Your wife is not alone. Poor wage increases apply right across the employment spectrum.Incidentally, how is productivity increasing in the education sector lately?
  16. 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.
  17. Your world, you sort it.
  18. I wouldn't call describe that as negative. Quite a realistic summary, all told,
  19. As the saying goes, 'you can lead a horse to water but you can't make him play football'
  20. Welcome to the club Mauricio. We don't expect too much, lots of goals, a solid defence and sparkling high-speed football. No pressure.
  21. The alternative is to allow them to stand but bore them senseless with some turgid football. We are halfway there.
  22. Oops, that didn't work either. Not been my day so far.
  23. Edit: not reading properly.
  24. Poor performance, good performance, it made no difference to the way the manager responded.
