  1. 4 years old? Do you know how old that makes me feel? It's only the thought of Jessica Rabbit that gets me up in the mornings.
  2. I'll find out in an hour or two when I buy mine. Was that £1 reduced from £2.50 because you're a senior? I won't be 65 until July but my seats are full price anyway.
  3. In my opinion it is the manner in which a word is used that is important, not the word itself. To isolate it out of context is the small-minded.
  4. Shame. I was hoping he'd score a late winner and they'd be so pleased they'd sign him permanently.
  5. Yes indeed. Can you imagine being a surgeon with the responsibility of repairing a multi-million pound athlete? I have the utmost admiration for them.
  6. I'll find out tomorrow. From what little I remember of last year it was one charge for the whole transaction. Let's hope if won't be raining or I shall expect a busty maiden to stand there holding an umbrella over me. Almost worth £2.50.
  7. From what little I understand it would seem that previous types of repair were just a basic patch-up.
  8. A sad waste of a privileged life.
  9. Technically not legal tender although technically that doesn't actually mean anything. I must admit I am tempted though....
  10. Not really. If you miss slightly less than two games the cost is the same, and even at today's interest rates you should get more that £2.50 for keeping your money in the bank. It's not the exact amount that grates, it's the mean-minded penny-pinching aspect of it. 'Here's my £1500'. Oh thanks, that'll be an extra £2.50 for giving it to us. Does anybody know of any other business that behaves the same (apart from Ryanair) ?
  11. I was charged £2.50 last year on a debit card. If I had used cash there would have been no charge, which is ridiculous because as far as the seller is concerned electronic money is far cheaper to handle than cash.
  12. I totally agree. I shall take my £1500 in cash and that'll teach the barstewards.
  13. Not I, not ever.
  14. Of course, but an hour before should have been enough.
  15. Hooray Hooray! The first of May, outdoor sex begins today! You have been warned
  16. I saw this the other day about ACL reconstructions, I don't know if it has any relevance to our Jay. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-2613883/Surgeons-finally-win-Battle-Wounded-Knee-Revolutionary-new-operation-repair-joint-uses-ligament-knew-existed-six-months-ago.html
  17. That Courtois looked good tonight. Why didn't we sign him before?
  18. I was referring to the house sale, or indeed any other transaction which is liable to stamp duty. There are instances where selling your luxury car for £10 would be frowned upon, say if you went in to live in a nursing home then the local authority would be after you sharpish.
  19. It wouldn't necessarily be illegal but stamp duty would have to be paid on the full value.
  20. The northern route seems more likely to me given the last presumed heading of the aircraft. It's the Inmarsat calculations that suggest otherwise.
  21. Along by the football ground it's 50, further west it drops to 40. I drove along there on Sunday.
  22. It can definitely be a possibility but it's possibly not definite.
