  1. They weren't run up in the last 3 years!!!! They were run up by the previous lot. If you can't understand that then we are wasting our time even debating it. 'Bye
  2. Oh for goodness sake.! There is a lag between spending commitments and borrowing the money to pay for them of a few years. Today's borrowing is due to overspending from previous years. It's as simple as that. If we're going to have a debate about value for money for government largesse at least let's understand the economics first. What the f**k have they spent all that money on? It's going on all the people to fill those hospitals, schools etc. Plus interest on the money that was previously borrowed.
  3. Yes, but there are plenty of others during the game. Just grabbing the shirt is not a foul, the player has to be restrained from moving. Some players have a hold of the other's shirt so that they can watch the ball and at the same time feel where the opponent is moving. Usually in cases like this each player has a handful or the other's shirt.
  4. Sunday at 16:10. I wouldn't want you to miss anything
  5. Yes, you can't say that his decision was wrong, but he has to do the same for every other incident during the match, in which case it would have been a whistle-stop affair.
  6. At Christmas midtables are usually occupied by the turkeys.
  7. They won't, the ref gave him a yellow card so it can't be reviewed. He should be banned for three months anyway, in my opinion.
  8. Nope is short for 'NO PEnalty' Yep is short for 'YEs, Penalty'
  9. I don't see any of his teammates trying to offer him someone to pass to. Too busy wondering what the f*ck he's up to I suppose.
  10. Dismantled?
  11. Are these the 'before' or 'after' photographs?
  12. It's been some time since I looked at his ramblings but as I understood his position it was that we would all be better off spending even a fraction of the money that we are now throwing at 'green' policies at mitigating and providing for the effects of the inevitable changes in global climate. Spending more on foreign aid? I would prefer to see that what we spend now is better targeted at shat are undoubtedly serious problems.
  13. A PhD is neither an indication of smartness nor intelligence. You don't need one to know that.
  14. Have 'them' posted? If not, then there is no evidence either way.
  15. Well I would :slobber:
  16. I never use sarcasm. That would be beneath me
  17. You didn't quote the part: 'Articles that merely claimed to have found some discrepancy, some minor flaw, some reason for doubt, I did not classify as rejecting global warming' Every author is biased, whether they know it or not.
  18. At last! The voice of reason.
  19. Yeah, whatever happens there's always somebody trying to take the credit for it.
  20. I wish you hadn't mentioned that. Brian Labone just let him go.
  21. There's a lot of assumption in these measurements. I would prefer to see some accurate verification from ground-based devices.
  22. We were kept behind for over 40 minutes at least.
  23. I hope she washed her hands before passing you the salt.
  24. I've never been convinced by the Stephen Milligan explanations.
