  1. Does PM stand for 'Personal Massage' ?
  2. Nor can I, but I definitely found something about it a few months ago??? Blackpool soon increased their capacity when they completed their fourth stand, but I can't remember when that was. http://www.psam.uk.com/afc-bournemouth-announce-18000-seat-stadium-expansion-plan
  3. I'm not in favour of these 'debates'. Too much like Big Brother or Masterchef for my liking. A couple of good sound bites and we might end up with someone incompetent like Nick Clegg. Choosing who we want to run the country is far more serious than this.
  4. They won't be allowed in the league until their capacity is at least 15000. They have plans for this.
  5. They have plans in place for this summer. They would not be allowed in the League if they weren't ready.
  6. I'll settle for 10 goals. One a game and 10 clean sheets.?
  7. Spitting is easier to prove.
  8. That's wonderful to hear.
  9. Nothing, they're powerless. I think that's why the authorities are so worried about it.
  10. There'll be repercussions.
  11. Goodfellow
  12. I have always felt that he is an upper Championship level player, but I would hope and love him to prove me wrong.
  13. You have to pay somebody to control the timer. Added to that is that the referee is the sole arbiter of timing. I don't see what's wrong with the present system.
  14. It's another complication and doesn't take into account the allowances made for time wasting.
  15. So somebody has invented a whole new mathematical or logical notation which just happens to look like the traditional one that has been in use for generations. If they are not going to tell us the syntax then any answer is a valid one since we can all make up our own alternatives. These sort of questions should be treated with the disdain that they deserve.
  16. Normally only 6 games but Cisse has previous.
  17. The Express was quoting official figures, so I guess you're right There was also a link from The Independent.

  19. So what's your point?
  20. No, it's not their personal fault, but it's an unavoidable result. We also disproved your figure of 53rd earlier.
  21. I refer you to the links I gave further above. I don't like the figures, but anuybody who believes that there are 'only' 62 million people in this country is a gullible sucker. Do you really think the ONS is accurate? These are old links: http://cornerstone-group.org.uk/2008/02/25/how-many-people-live-in-britain-%E2%80%93-by-greg-hands-mp/ http://www.independent.co.uk/news/business/comment/city-eye-facts-on-a-plate-our-population-is-at-least-77-million-395428.html http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-18854762 http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2174300/Record-levels-immigration-lead-jam-packed-England-population-rockets-56m.html https://uk.answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20110222021843AAqgHpR&page=2 http://www.express.co.uk/comment/columnists/leo-mckinstry/333097/Tories-fail-to-solve-immigration-crisis-that-blights-Britain 'Between 2004 and 2007, 270,000 work permits were issued by the Government to non-European nationals, yet over 900,000 National Insurance numbers were issued. As a graphic illustration of this farce, just 1455 Nigerians were given leave to enter Britain in this period, yet 35,900 Nigerians got NI numbers.' But as I say, the actual number is not relevant to my arguments. The effects of the overcrowding are all around us and plain to see.
  22. One or two don't make a difference but several million do.
  23. There is nowhere near enough money to pay for the extra infrastructure. It doesn't even pay for their 'running costs', especially since very few of these arrivals are bringing large capital sums into the economy. Indeed, many are sending money out of the country to relatives abroad. Overcrowding is the problem and that has not come about because of indigenous population increase. 53rd is not correct, we've been through all this before. The official figure for the population is recognised as too low and I have been talking about England, not the UK which includes the highland areas of Scotland. There are several credible estimates that estimated our total population (UK) at around 80 milllion, and this was around 10 years ago. As I have argued above, the actual numbers are only relevant as a comparison, the effects are plain for all to see, at least, for those of us who are old enough to have noticed the increases. The demands on housing, transport, education, health, even the prison population. And no, I'm not saying that immigrants are more likely to end up in prison, just that as the population increases so does the number of prisoners.
  24. There is, of course, a lot of truth in this. I carry no torch for Mr. NF but all our motorways are crowded, whcih is not surprsing if the population increases by 10 million over a decade or so.
