There really should be a box for 'none of the above'. [video=youtube;bXEglx-or6k]

I read somewhere that Ron was keen on Elia so I guess we shall have to learn to appreciate him.

This is becoming more of a problem with the large increase in population. There are nowhere near enough places in the infant and junior schools to cater for the surge in new arrivals. Tis buge will then, of course, move through to secondary education.

Yippee! At last I have found someone with the same beliefs as me I refer everyone to the Global Warming thread.

Very true. Thornden has always had a good rating but a lot of the parents employ private tutors,
-
Very true. At least he is our diver

Kelvin also took a step to his right and was on the wrong foot just before Lamela elbowed the ball into goal. I sit in central Kingsland and I don't think any of us could quite work out what had happened. I don't think it should have been allowed.

Fans team match v Kidderminster - this Sunday at BTC
Whitey Grandad replied to stevegrant's topic in The Saints
Were you the dark red/maroon top taking shots with a mobile phoen, the one that asked me the score sometime around halftime? If I'd known it was you I'd have come over and had a longer chat. I won't ask you what you thought of the refereeing then, about 10 minutes into the second half my inner thigh muscles were complaining and all I could do was shuffle around the centre circle. Nice to say hello -
Thanks for taking the time to expand. It's all a question of where this money comes from. Governments can either raise it in tax or borrow it. If we assume that the tax levels are probably at the point where revenues are maximised, and some say they are beyond that, then we are left with increased borrowing with all that that entails. I disagree with your assertion that you're 'giving rich people more wealth', you're just not stealing quite so much of it from them. You talk about money as though it belongs to the state instead of the individuals. There's nothing wrong with personal saving, it's part of the bedrock of a capitalist society. Of course, over the past few years savers have seen the value of their deposits reduced by interest rates which have been lower than inflation which in my opinion has been due to deliberate government policy to devalue the cost of their borrowings at the expense of the savers. Effectively there has been a huge transfer of monetary worth from the savers to the borrowers. As for helping the poor, don't discount the increase in personal tax allowances. Now let's get the N I thresholds in line with these too.

Artur Boruc joins Bournemouth on loan
Whitey Grandad replied to Saint-Armstrong's topic in The Saints
It depend on whether Bournemouth are in the playoffs. After the last first-team game, I would have thought. -
Perfectly understandable.
-
Ronaldinho has very quick feet and 'manufactures contact' so well that nobody ever comments on it. I suppose it should be called 'pedifactures'.
-
Lower taxes equals more spending money. I may have misinterpreted you. What exactly did you mean by 'sucking demand out of the economy'?
-
That would leave more demand for the rest of us to fulfil, with more money to do it.
-
There is a beauty in coordinated teamwork. One bloke running around kicking a ball would be a lot less interesting.
-
They are voted for by the players and I believe the voting was some time ago, hence the inclusion of Coutinho. I suppose there was less competition for the left back position.
-
There are a number of possibilities. Bank statement, utility bill, Council Tax bill. My daughter and her family moved back from Bristol last year and stayed with us for 3 months. I had to provide a letter stating that she lived at our address. Why don't you ask the schools? They're very helpful.
-
So that you can be even worse off?

Apart from that he played well. He'll learn from it and be even better in the future. I watched the goal again on MOTD2 and for some reason Maya just takes a step forward when the pass is made to Chadli leaving him one step behind. He was watching the ball instead of the player.
-
My views entirely. How can anybody get excited about a bit of jogging, and her tax status annoys me.
-
He is what he is. But he also failed to take that chance up at Liverpool.
-
At least he wouldn't score against us any more.

Thanks, I enjoyed the run out but my legs are ****ged now. Too much rust after a ten year layoff I suppose. Nice to meet you both -
But had they been watering the floors? Thought not
