  1. Southampton used to be the home of the van
  2. Millwall? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/No_one_likes_us,_we_don%27t_care
  3. Yes indeed, change is always a worry.
  4. Top half, just, depending on who we sign and who we lose. 8th to 10th.
  5. I hardly noticed them. They were well camouflaged against the grass.
  6. He was too expensive. £1m was quoted, I believe.
  7. It might just be a political enquiry, some thing my Latin teacher would have called 'a question expecting the answer no'. He may just be making a point to other players.
  8. Is Morgan married or otherwise engaged? Just a thought...
  9. It was just a kick-around in the heat in a warm-up friendly. Nothing to get excited about.
  10. Do you think so? What would you consider to be a reasonable return on investment for a shareholder in today's financial environment?
  11. Great film, very moving.
  12. Would playing in the CL cup tie him for the EL?
  13. I'm moaning that there isn't such a thread. As for the OP, I shall reserve my judgment until the season starts but I shall be somewhat disappointed if there are no further additions to the squad.
  14. We nearly ran into the Tour earlier today in Argentan. We were driving back from Spain towards Ouistreham with the caravan in tow and all the roads were blocked off so we ended up against some barriers in some backstreet car park in the middle of the city just before they all came through. We had to get the boat at 16:30 or else we would have hung around for twenty minutes but ended up backtracking some ten miles south so as to get the motorway back north again. We could see all the safety cars going overhead on the D2. We were due to come back on the 13th and I had checked the route before we left so I wasn't expecting any problems. The trouble is that with a 190km blockage transecting your intended route there are not many places in north France where there are over- or under-passes. There was quite a big party atmosphere in the centre of Argentan and it was a pity to miss it but we had a boat to catch
  15. Unfortunately the money can only go round so far before it's reduced to bugger all.
  16. You see Einstein, I see a white-haired grandfather. For the record, I don't agree with all these messy tax credits, just set the tax rates at the right levels and the economy will sort itself out.
  17. Then stop the subsidy, remove the benefits. The state is not giving money direct to the companies.
  18. Er, no. Higher wage bill => less profits => fewer jobs Unless all the extra disposable income is spent at that same employer, which isn't going to happen.
  19. You're right about Tapatalk. It has its limitations and I'm still persevering with the old HD version because I'm sick of the adverts.
  20. No profits = no company = no jobs
  21. The taxman won't allow a trip for business if any part of it is for pleasure or a holiday. I had a very big argument with them, which I lost, of course.
  22. You might be confused. Are you asking on the right forum?
  23. How can you benefit if you're dead?
  24. ... is the correct answer!
