  1. Wouldn't his agent do all the talking?
  2. Ranieri please.
  3. Don't we?
  4. An election promise is a long way removed from political will.
  5. Language would be a big problem. I don't think many of our players would understand him.
  6. If he goes purely for the money then he plummets in my estimation. The man has no ambition other than greed. Another season and he could have had his pick of one of the top clubs, and Everton are not one of those and won't be in my lifetime.
  7. Could is not the same as would. Immigration has been a matter of concern amongst the British Public for years and years and yet there have been no discernible attempts to restrict it from either the EU or rest of the world. I don't believe either of the main parties has any political will to do anything about it. Yes, we have had a lot of immigration from the EU. But it does not follow that if we left the EU it would all stop. Anyway it would take a couple of years to untangle ourselves and rewrite all our laws in which time there might well be a mad rush to get in here before we pull up the drawbridge.
  8. If it were done when 'tis done, then 'twere well It were done quickly:
  9. There are no grown men on here. Apart from me that is
  10. There are other pensions apart from the state version.
  11. My office is open plan and it would be perfectly acceptable here. In fact, if you have one going spare...
  12. I have been sayng this for some time. Voting for 'Leave' may be a protest against current immigration levels but it wouldn't change anything.
  13. Right where a proper shin pad should be.
  14. But would any German companies choose to invest in the UK after Brexit? Or any other countries, come to that.
  15. We'd have to negotiate a trade deal with 50 countries just to get back to where we are now, and we would be doing it with a population of 60m compared to over 500m.
  16. We always bought our daughter a Saints Calendar for Christmas and it was a standing joke with us that the players shown in the summer months would be sold during that same month.
  17. I've been looking for some time for a chronometer which is thin and has a clean face. Any suggestions are welcome.
  18. No it wouldn't. It would be lsot.
  19. He's just managing expectations.
  20. It was only a special manoeuvre that saved the German fleet. They had practised a 'battle turn away' where every ship turned simultaneously. It required great seamanship. The German fleet had practised a manoeuvre for just such a predicament: the ‘Battle Turn Away’ (Gefechtskehrtwendung). This manoeuvre required each ship to turn away simultaneously, covered by a smoke screen generated by the destroyers and light cruisers. In the confusion of battle a high degree of seamanship was required of the battleship’s captains.
  21. It demonstrated that the British had supremacy of the seas and ensured that Germany never tried another escapade. As an American journalist put it, 'The prisoner has assaulted his jailer but he is still in jail'.
  22. Have you forgotten the Whigs?
