I don't know anybody who relies on inherited money.

Raising the top rate from 40% to 50% resulted in less revenue. Raising above 50% would only reduce it even more.

Yup, they were all in it together. Labour's obsession with the City to the exclusion of all the other sectors of the economy was always bound to end in tears.

I agree. We are not investing in the future, we are subsidising the past.

You will be pleased to hear that I have just had a reply from SIP to my email.

Almost as good as Davis's yesterday

Quiet night yesterday, was it?

Yes, I didn't see it at the time but it was quite clear on the tele. As a ref I class handball as a foul, it's easier than saying 'direct free kick to the opposition'

I'm not fussy, I can't afford to be.

He says that Torres's 'goal' was given offside when it was in fact a free-kick for a foul.

Philip, who sits in front of me, said that Lampard dragged Ricky away from Terry who he was marking at the time. It will be interesting to see it later on MOTD.

My memory's not quite what it was, and I may have had a celebratory bottle of Old Peculiar

A good ref, I don't think anybody mentioned him in the celebrations.

It is two games for ten cards by second Sunday in April but hopefully it won't happen. http://nav.thefa.com/sitecore/content/TheFA/Home/TheFA/~/media/37C906F6526B487B8BD17E4FCEB61FD4.ashx/FADiscProc11-12.pdf

The cut off date is 'by' the second Sunday in April so he should be ok then. That's a relief.

Just had a look. 'By the second Sunday in April' so he should be in the clear. Which is nice.

Only 8? I think the date is later, around April 25th. Ish.

Great result. The only negative is that I think Morgan's yellow card takes him up to ten and that means that he misses two games.

Because of our league position?

Huh, some people have no ambition.

So sad to think of all that he's missed.

Nah, lots of respectable people watch BBC4.

We make the law, we can change the law. It is not immutable.

Whichever, the Football League will want assurances that any team entering the competition for next season will be able to complete their fixtures.

Will he be missed? Will anybody notice? What we have to be careful about is imposters pretending to be him and posting on other threads. Beware of imitations!
