  1. What a stupid prejudiced comment.
  2. Bit indirect isn't it? 'Plan to lobby' is not surprising, I suspect that this company plans to lobby anyone who might give them more work. All that matters is better patient care however that is achieved.
  3. Driving on the left goes back to the Romans. Napoleon being French (basically) chose to be different and drive on the right. We were never conquered by Napoleon so we still drive on the left. This is one version, there may be others.
  4. This, basically. It's football, sometimes these things happen. The best thing is to try not to get into a situation where colliding with a player might give away a penalty. Better still if Maya doesn't make a weak header that puts Jose into trouble or a bad pass that lets the opposition counter attack.
  5. Good idea. This weekend is best forgotten.
  6. Very, very sad. My condolences to him and his family.
  7. Mayuka, also groin, not that you cared, I guess.
  8. Don't forget that these tools may remove the nut (screw) but you will probably need a replacement.
  9. Tadic has a groin injury according to The Mail, Djuricic - ankle.
  10. Good shout. In aviation could it be because the pilot sits on the left? I asked an aviator friend why landing approaches were anti-clockwise and he told me this was the reason.
  11. Try Google, here's one example: http://www.halfords.com/motoring-travel/tools-diy/tools-tool-kits/laser-locking-wheel-nut-remover Then buy a new set of locking nuts and make sure you don't lose this one (My auto-type had put 'licking nuts'. These are something complete different.)
  12. Thanks, nice to meet you too I thought you looked hard enough to take it
  13. Wednesday is Champions League day. Next season you may feel differently about it.
  14. That 'dead relative's money' is theirs to do with how they wish. If you want to steal it for yourself or anybody else why don't you get a gun and go and do it now? Inheritance tax is grave robbery, nothing else.
  15. That poor girl Her clothes are all tatty. Perhaps we should all club together and buy her some more.
  16. This forum is great! We've just got back home and in two minutes I can skim through a complete summary of Question Time without having to watch it Wake me up when the election is over.
  17. Anything is more interesting than the election. I find myself -2.0, -3.95 but there were a couple of questions where I wasn't quite sure how to answer, too many double negatives. 'A significant advantage of a one-party state is that it avoids all the arguments that delay progress in a democratic political system' for example. I may agree that there is an advantage from the party's point of view but if I strongly disagree that anybody should have a one-party state...?
  18. Good point. 7th and 13th which may be a bit soon for him.
  19. Let's look on the bright side. It's not serious ligament damage and if it's only 4 or 5 weeks then he should be fit for pre-season or a European tour. Whether that's with us or somebody elase remains to be seen.
  20. I was thinking about that earlier and I can't for the life of me see how I come out almost exactly in the middle. Perhaps we should all do this test again?
  21. Or vote for the canditate rather than the party. Find a good one and let them represent you.
  22. A man under pressure.
  23. Quite so. My view is that the country would have been in a better situation to handle the crash if there had not been the reckless overcommitment to public spending. Labour had gambled on continous growth and lost.
  24. Or coming into the country.
  25. There was bit in The Times today about survival after promotion. 'Clubs who come up with a plan stand a chance. It is those who do not - the ones who build sides specifically for promotion, then make a raft of signings, panic, and appoint Harry Redknapp midway through the campaign - who tend not to last.' Bournemouth, they claim, have such a plan, as did Stoke, Swansea and us
