  1. They only pay tax if they make any profits.
  2. Quite so. The league table means diddly squat at the moment.
  3. Where would you prefer to sit? I might be able to call past tomorrow.
  4. Whitey Grandad

    Mane

    YES, YES and thrice YES.
  5. Mané was shît. We were too wasteful up front and made two sloppy errors at the back.
  6. And many of these staff have children of their own, also at school.
  7. If you increase the cost of running a company then their prices go up and they lose business and they will have to reduce their staff unless they can increase their productivity. You can't just issues an order that everybody should get paid more or you'll just end up with inflation and nobody is any better off. The money just isn't there in the marketplace.
  8. There is only finite money to be made in the economy. If you raise the cost of labour then you will reduce the number of jobs.
  9. Or not getting drunk? After a staff lunch we once put a colleague on the train at Havant so that he could go home to Stoke for Christmas. Luckily he woke up just as the train pulled in to Waterloo. Unfortunately he was a few hours late, he had slept up to Waterloo, then down to Portsmouth, then back up to Waterloo again.
  10. Unless it is done through the official channels, of course.
  11. But who's going to be the bottom three?
  12. And Chelsea get 6 minutes of injury time.
  13. Our loading gauge is too low so we can't run double-deckers.
  14. They're difficult to use when they're closed.
  15. In more news, Hampshire girl showing her best assets again: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-2862853/Why-m-stripping-56-Erika-Roe-public-school-girl-lifted-men-s-hearts-Twickenham-33-years-ago-haunting-tragedy-inspired-wrinkles-all.html http://www.erikaroe.com (For charity, of course)
  16. That wasn't a transfer of money, was it? Just an underwritten guarantee.
  17. The railways are impossible to use at weekends because of the maintenance work.
  18. Those figures are rubbish. I've never believed anything derived from a study produced on a driving simulator. In what way is talking on a hands-free phone different from talking to your passenger? And what about the safety aspect of being able to call someone and leg them know you're going to be late? Personally I never make a call unless I'm parked or on a quiet stretch of motorway.
  19. There are medical conditions that can cause a small amount of alcohol to be in the blood and there's always the morning-after problem. There are practical reasons for allowing a small amount. Drugs, however, are a different matter.
  20. Or anyone wearing a hat in the car.
  21. Not until after 12:00 on the 24th December though.
  22. Bus repus.
