But their second properties are paid for by the taxpayer.

Verbs and nouns, innit. It doesn't bother me that he speaks Spanish.

Just heard? Where have you been? You obviously don't use the BBC.

As I thought. Just the six of them? They all scratch each other's backs. Have you seen the size of their salaries? These people don't live in the real world. I certainly wouldn't call them independent.

How independent is this independent body?

Quite so. There is no shortage of applicants so the pay must be adequate.

It would seem so, probably, but it would make sense to have two quality keepers in the squad.

It's the parents I feel sorry for.

Pay more peanuts and you get bigger monkeys. Or should that be apes?

Does that include you, Phil?

No ifs for me. I would. Before or after.

Because we don't need to

Interesting, thanks. Wasn't it Donald Sutherland in Kelly's heroes who said that the only way to knock out a Tiger was to hit them from the rear at the base of the turret?

Petrol engines, innit.

The Germans called them Ronsons, 'lights first time, every time'. The sloping armour of the T34 was an important development. I found this site for a comparison of tanks. Of course you can't consider the tank design in isolation of the tactics and organisation. http://www.chuckhawks.com/best_tanks_WWII.htm

As long as they open the Kingsland I shan't mind too much.

People who leave early and then stop at the top of the stairs annoy the hell out of me. Some people have a valid reason for it, though. I spoke to someone who had to get the train back to East Sussex somewhere and he had to catch a particular train in order to be able to afford to come to the games.

It depends how wet and sweaty you are.

I'm getting my wife a wooden leg... ... it's just a stocking filler.

Did they win?

Maybe he eased back when he thought he was retiring but then came back for a last big payday. Like you I have no sympathy for the fans. Now it's time for then to feel our pain. We shall know that the tide has finally turned when other teams start to get the benefit of the decisions at Old Trafford. Beating them 3-0 at St. Mary's to snatch 4th place from them on May 11th would be a nice end to the season

Is that longer than normal?

As far as I can remember his nose was quite normal.

Teenage girl killed helping her dad get some decorations down from the loft: http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/georgia-marshall-death-teenage-girl-2896373 It's not worth it.

Then are you recommending that we try to lose it? I presume a replay would be totally unacceptable.
