  1. Some people can't go 45 minutes without a drink. It's not the most important thing I the world. If it is, you've got a problem.
  2. These house weren't demolished and are still being lived in. Any housing crisis is due to the huge rise in the population along with increased divorce and the expectation that the younger population have that they can move out of their parents' home and walk into accommodation.
  3. Most of them are posting on it.
  4. The term 'Spanish practices' could only be considered derogatory by someone who doesn't understand its meaning. It's like objecting to 'black sheep'. As it happened, they didn't protect the jobs because they eventually disappeared. Watch 'I'm all right, Jack' to see what British industry was like.
  5. Next time he should toss them himself, it's safer.
  6. No, it wasn't like that at all. Productivity was woeful. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spanish_practices
  7. Cambridge would be good. I once did the halftime summary for the local hospital there when Kevin Keegan was still playing for S****horpe.
  8. Sometimes all you want is a plate of egg and chips. The eggs must be runny enough that you can dunk your chips in them.
  9. Isn't that a leveraged buyout?
  10. You really don't have a clue about the working practices of the time. Today's working environment is totally different from the 1970s.
  11. Me too. These youngsters have some funny ideas about what life was like in those days. Oh, and as an aside I see that Arthur Scargill's still doing alright out of the miners' union these days.
  12. Have you tried adding some smoked salmon, with some lumpfish caviar on top and washed down by a few glasses of Buck's Fizz made with real orange juice?
  13. There are a lot more people in the country now, and a lot mor people working. The unemployment figure is the difference between two big ones.
  14. Did you spot all the product placements in Fargo? And have you tried 'A Simple Man'?
  15. I'm just glad he went for precision instead of power or he might have missed it. Perhaps he was caught in two minds as to whether to guide it out for a corner or lay it back to Hart. I bet he doesn't even know himself.
  16. I agree, didn't need a thread to itself.
  17. £15.25m not enough? How much did they want for him?
  18. Please, that was an unnecessary comment. Just because someone points out an error which, fortunately, turned out not to be significant does not make them 'idiots' in any sene of the word.
  19. I'm not really moaning, whatever it looks like. I'm overjoyed at the performance and the result but there's always room for improvement.
  20. I'm in Kingsland central and I only heard their fans once.
  21. I don't think he knew himself. I suspect he was trying to put the ball out for a corner. It was comically slow. That's what can happen when you get worn down and hustled. Strachan used to say that when you get physically tired you don't think straight.
  22. I'm not blaming him alone for the goal, the whole team were involved, I'm just saying that he could have done better. It all happened too quickly for him to react. If he had assessed the position more quickly then he was in a position where he could have covered Zabaleta, but he is what he is, that's not his fault but it's why he's not a top-class full-back.
  23. Yes please, where do we fancy?
  24. Well they couldn't both lose, I suppose. At least they don't have to play each other again and could lose all their remaining matches.
