Whitey Grandad

I thought they were?

If you really believe that then there's no hope for any of us. Labour was cosying up to the bankers in the City throughout their term in office. There is absolutely no way that a bank can bankrupt a nation, which prints its own money. The causes of the recession were many and diverse and banking was only a part of it. Many countries came through the same period with barely a scratch. Our problem was that Labour's excesses had left us very exposed to world financial problems.

Was he sacked? I thought that they had decided not to renew his contract, which is not the same thing.

There's only one party that created an economic funk and that was by over-borrowing and committing to spending that couldn't be afforded.

Be careful what you wish for. We don't want them to get a good manager.

Very much the way I feel about it.

Yes I would, I'm like that. I certainly wouldn't be trying to goad them into a reaction. Shuffling off home would have been far more preferable to being kept behind just so that they could try to wind us up

I was there, and they were a load of knobs. We just want to get home but were made to wait in the stands whilst they invaded the pitch and gave all sorts of sh*t. I have never liked Derby since.

Me neither. I would hope that there are better players available.

I'll take that as a 'no' then.

Aren't we always like this after an international break?

We lost. That is all.

Coulde?

We've had a few of those.

I might even go to that. Any idea of a date yet?

Or his mother.

Great! Now at least I can start to plan my holidays for that month

A winner against Citeh and then off for £25m and I would wave him a friendly goodbye.

Wrong thread. You should be over on the General Election one.

Flippin' 'eck. I agree with Pap

On another note, an old fugitive is joining that lot to the west: http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/32132811

I spend too much time on here already. France

I have neither the time nor the inclination to write an essay every time I post, and I know I don't have to spell out evrything for someone of your intellect and insight. Please give me an example of a comparable country (not Singapore or Brunei or such) that runs health system as large and complex as the NHS. This is what I wrote: If it were that amazing some other country would have done the same.

It's called a 'no-claims bonus'.

Yes, it will be interesting. Possibly you notify them and only get some money back if they manage to sell your seat. I have often maintained that they should hold an account for you with direct debit authority or such-like where you could buy cup or away tickets and have it come out of your account.
