  1. They're not. There are some very strict fitness tests that they have to pass.
  2. Nobody in that photo is committing an offence. It's what happened later that matters.
  3. What is that photo suposed to illustrate?
  4. Ah, I thought it was free when I first got it. £3 seems a lot for any App.
  5. It's responsible for broadcasting the recording and promoting their actions. You should never broadcast anything without the other party's permission, in the same way that you shouldn't publish photographs without approval.
  6. I use Tapatalk, it's free.
  7. There does not have to be contact for it to be a foul. The wording of the law is 'trip or attempt to trip'. Having said that, you would normally only give a foul if the offended player had found it necessary to take evasive action from the swinging leg and thereby had lost possession, or maybe stumbled.
  8. Who are we going to blame?
  9. Sir Patrick Moore, please. I have always enjoyed his programmes and only yesterday I watched the most recent Sky at Night. A wonderful enthusiast for his subject and the heavens will seem a little bit emptier. Perhaps they can name a star after him? I have his Atlas of the universe from 1970, I must go there someday. Thanks, old chap.
  10. If I survive, can I come on here for advice? It's not the apocalypse that worries me, it's having to rely on you lot afterwards.
  11. No, I can't agree with that. Don't stick anything in your ears that's smaller than your elbow.
  12. Wasn't there a foul just before the ball hit Mertesacker?
  13. They didn't show it on MOTD, shame as I was looking forward to seeing it again. Where did you see it?
  14. Yes, but that was every week.
  15. So do I.
  16. He did ok. Shame he didn't score.
  17. I know what it isn't.
  18. Why not combine both?
  19. There's a big difference between taking and earning. That's what this debate is all about.
  20. But that's not fair. Some of the world will get longer than other parts! Perhaps it will be a rolling apocalypse, arriving with the daybreak? Or sunset? Maybe even afternoon tea. If we all go without our tea at four o'clock then perhaps we can be saved after all. See, there's always hope.
  21. Whatever you may think, it cannot possibly be 'greedy' to aspire to earn more money and keep a reasonable proportion of it. Greed is when you want to take money away from somebody else so you can have an easier life yourself. Some call it sponging.
  22. We used to have Child Tax Allowance (along with mortgage interest tax relief) and a separate Family Allowance but there were arguments that the tax allowance went to the father to spend on fags and beer and ought to go direct to the mother so it was all changed. You're right to suggest that the whole system is in dire need of simplification.
  23. Any idea what time on the 21st?
  24. Nor I, and some call me old-fashioned. I'm pretty sure that these two hoaxers never even considered this outcome, but that's the law of unintended consequences. It's not an action that I would ever have undertaken because I don't find it funny and like to think that I still have some dignity. There's always a victim in these circumstances.
