Whitey Grandad

With international football it's not all about club form. I get the impression that Hodgson likes Ricky because he does exactly the job that he's been instructed to play, and managers like that.

Great news. Does this mean they'll all be walking on eggshells against Liverpool?

Good grief. Pap and I are in total agreement on something.

A sad loss.

Then he deserves to be banged up good and proper.

Nor the BBC fixture list. It would appear to me that this weekend's TV fixtures have not been confirmed yet.

Not at all. You adapt to changed circumstances. You have to adapt to what has already happened if your house is getting flooded more frequently, and I'm not saying that the climate doesn't change, just that the natural changes outweigh the influence of man. At present nobody can predict whether our local weather will be drier, wetter, sunnier, stormier so how can anyone prepare?

The basic problem is too many people chasing too few housing units. So why is everybody so accepting of all this mass immigration?

Paying by cheque will have created a paper trail.

Ok, I'll re-phrase it, why isn't everybody doing it?

You say that they're going to go home (wherever that is) to retire but if they're all having their kids here then they're here to stay.

We have to adapt to the changes and not the fears.

We'll let the justice process decide, shall we?

Oh yeah? http://www.standard.co.uk/news/uk/26-per-cent-of-british-births-are-to-foreign-mothers-9106602.html

So what's stopping you doing it if it's that easy? You have to underwrite the applications and have some sort of deposit.

I put both my sheds up on wooden runners to keep the floors ventilated but forgot to put something to stop the rates getting underneath. You have been warned!

So who's getting the handouts here? The landlords have to buy and maintain the place but the tenants are getting it for free?

Excuse me?

Too much sense to be taken seriously.

Very good, a multi-chuckle read.

Those are ONS census figures which vastly understate the true population. http://www.independent.co.uk/news/business/comment/city-eye-facts-on-a-plate-our-population-is-at-least-77-million-395428.html (UK I.e. Includes Scotland)

But the climate hasn't changed significantly, at least no more nor less than it has been doing for as long as we can tell.

Quite so.

Not in recent decades it wasn't. What's the actual population of the UK now? 70 million? 80 million?. Many millions if these are recent immigrants of all sorts. We can't build over every scrap of ground, we have to call a halt somewhere.

So any change in the weather is down to global warming?
