  1. Sadly missed ?
  2. Because it's a bloody big number and we're horrendously overcrowded. When I was young it was 52million. What's 1900 got to do with it? At that time most of London didn't exist and Middlesex was still a rural county.
  3. Not many people can say that. Even fewer would admit to it. :respect:
  4. Phew! I'll go back to my afternoon sleep.
  5. Was there a (possibly tongue-in-cheek) reference to managing England one day? I was having a KFC in Cobham services at the time and they had Sky Sports News on a big screen with automatic subtitles.
  6. Young girls' uniforms, maybe, but I can't find any my size these days
  7. You're a woman; it's in your chromosomes.
  8. Eternal Father & Sunset by the Royal Marines When the bugle starts the last post around 2:00 it really wells me up.
  9. I was shocked to see that England houses about 1% of the world's population.
  10. Did somebody call? It's a long time since I was wanted.
  11. That's fair enough. The trouble is that we need more consistency, not less.
  12. He didn't handle the ball deliberately, it bounced off his chest and hit his hand, but he could have reasonably expected that this might happen when he ran out to the edge of his area in an attempt to block the ball. Inside his area this is fine, outside it isn't, but from what I remember it hit his chest on the edge of the area and then hit his hand outside. I would have given it, others wouldn't.
  13. Would you rather have this:
  14. Beer was 1/6 (7.5p) when I started university in 1968.
  15. Oh, I don't know. They'd need a map to find their way around me
  16. Football
  17. Modern engine management systems auto-adjust to the octane rating.
  18. I once read that the British woman has on average 27 pairs of shoes. Mind you, that was a few years ago. They've probably bought a few more since then.
  19. And undermines the authority of the referee, especially when they overturn decisions like Adrian's.
  20. No, according to all the guidelines and instructions that would be classed as violent conduct, whatever you might think it should be.
  21. My BMW 5 series used to have about a 10% fuel economy on the expensive stuff which just about paid for the difference. It might seem that there's no advantage but it did mean longer between fill ups and also the service interval on BMWs is calculated according to the fuel used so it also meant longer between services.
  22. That's because you're really a man. Have you looked lately?
  23. No, there's no argument about this. A shove like that is violent conduct and is a straight red card.
  24. I read that according to Ron it was 30 minutes late for a 1pm team meal, or something.

    Fil ?

    He scored an important couple last night.
