Yes, a curious signing. It makes you wonder who was the driving force behind it.

Produced by Microsoft it would appear judging by the number of times that things go wrong. It would explain a lot.

The situations are not comparable. Is the gold actually there anyway? Nobody is allowed inside Fort Knox to check the US holdings: http://www.wallstreetdaily.com/2013/07/16/fort-knox-gold/ http://moneymorning.com/2015/05/12/is-there-gold-at-fort-knox/

My mrs has a few RBS shares and wishes she had sold them 10 years ago

Flybe do Southampton-Orly for less than £200 each but then you might need to hire a car.

Indeed he was. In this instance I still cannot see any valid reason ffor it but this might be one: http://blogs.telegraph.co.uk/finance/thomaspascoe/100018367/revealed-why-gordon-brown-sold-britains-gold-at-a-knock-down-price/ It was sold on the cheap and he/we made sure it was even cheaper than it needed to be. It took 3 years or so for the surge in the gold price to make this sale look as weird as it does today.

If you live in Hampshire then Dover-Calais is a long way round. There is also Newhaven-Dieppe but that's probably the worst of both options. i used to go regularly wiith P&O Ferries Portsmouth-Le Havre but now we go Portsmouth-Caen. It's a little bit further from paris than Le Havre but if you're going for a few days this is not a problem and if you go overnight then you arrive in Paris late enough to avoid the worst of the rush hour.

That is the view of the people that know about these things, apparently. I believe it's to do with freeing up ownership in the bank. I think we need to rake a global view about these bank bailouts, we may take a small loss on one deal but regain it elsewhere. There has been some debate about the overall net cost of the rescues and it appears to be approximately neutral, give or take a few billion . We have go a lot of our money back over the last through years through fees and charges. We shall see, it should keep economists busy for another decade or so.

If only we'd given Ali Dia the same amount of time who knows what he might have become

At current rates thats's not a lot over £10m so we're not very far away, if these reports are accurate.

I use Google Chrome so it's a right-click and select 'translate to English' Mon 03 Aug 2015 05:45 Right Winger be successor to departed Jean-Paul Boëtius Feyenoord is for Elijah by Marcel van der Kraan Feyenoord's former Orange International Eljero Elia attract as direct replacement for Jean-Paul Boëtius. The tip, which last season when Ronald Koemans Southampton got another chance but could not stay, can leave at Werder Bremen. Elia also has a regal job offer from the Middle East, which is well above the salary of a Dutch club would rise. But which party will quit now Elijah to take the time to look at an offer from Feyenoord. Dead end The right winger is in his German employer at a dead end. That is also the reason why he last season was loaned to Southampton. The entire career of Elia can anyway do with a boost. There has been much criticism of his lifestyle and his behavior off the field. The footballer has some of those stories always tried to talk to, but the best way to silence his critics is a long time to perform well the mouth. Dirk Kuyt That chance Feyenoord wants to offer him, provided that he gives everything. Five years ago, Elijah came in the World Cup final still within the lines, replacing Dirk Kuyt. A reunion with the Katwijker, which indeed make the most of his career, Elijah could do much good.

It may be that he is following his manager's instructions to the letter and that is why he gets picked.

There were several empty seats behind me in the central Kingsland which I can only assume we're no-shows since these were prime positions.

According to an article about Jay in The Mail today his speed has increased from 9.1 to 9.3 metres per second. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-3183174/Southampton-striker-Jay-Rodriguez-nearing-competitive-return-newly-wedded-star-vows-come-better-ever.html

I think this is a make-or-break season for him. He needs to reward some of the faith that has been shown in him.

Perhaps badly phrased. I was trying to take the same line that the modern politically correct use with regards to implicit racism, but with the roles reversed. A bit abstruse perhaps but not worth getting upset over.

Composé

To be honest I tend to have your outlook on events too.

A fair summary.

I understood the rules to be that so long the player doesn't appear in the group stages then he could appear in the other league, but who knows?

It seemed to me that he had an attack of the yips and had lost his belief that he was going to score. Once his first goal goes in then the rest will follow.

I was referring to your response. You have have raised the question as to whether the racial characteristics of the victim and of the officer were significant. They may have been, but to raise the matter displays an unhealthy preoccupation with skin colour. (I am playing devil's advocate here)

That could be regarded as a typically racist response.

I had to go back to the turnstiles to get my two. Some were being handed out there, others inside. I think they had to go back for refills. Nice gesture though.
