  1. Actually she was quoting someone else, usually attributed to St. Francis of Assisi. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prayer_of_Saint_Francis
  2. Corp, for income you forgot to add the amount retained from wilful non-payment of VAT and PAYE. Remind me, how much was it now?
  3. Well, yes that's part of the reason, but doesn't that mean that it's the pound that's failing?
  4. I think I see the flaw in your argument there. High overheads and taxes mean that this ain't gonna happen.
  5. What are they going to call it next month? Januarsy?
  6. I think that it's going to be a little while before the true ramifications manifest themselves, but I feel that Cameron is going to be like Basil Fawlty who storms out of the hotel only to find himself outside in the rain.
  7. It's a little known fact that it was the French who protected the left flank of the charge and enabled the survivors to get back to the British lines.

    Madeira

    Great choice! I've still got a couple of bottles left. Shame that I've got to take things easy now, what with the old diabetes and things.
  9. Nah, he was onside when the cross was kicked, which is all that mattered.
  10. It may be seen as a popular move but nothing but harm can come from it.
  11. And Puncheon?
  12. It's a very interesting question though, and rather pleasant to see mathematics being discussed in such a civilised manner.
  13. But the teams can be in any order so there are 64 positions that any team can be placed so it is 1/63.
  14. That is sooooo last century. I'm surprised you don't also hate the romans for invading in 43, or the vikings after 700. Or the saxons in the 5th century. I bet you're actually part saxon - go on, admit you're actually german! And where would we have been without Blücher at Waterloo?
  15. I like both, even though they are so very different. Vive la différence! Es lebe der Unterschied!
  16. I think that quite true. If you ask them what they think of the British they say "troublemakers".
  17. Irresponsible lending or irresponsible borrowing, who you blame depends on your perspective.
  18. Suits me. Everywhere I go I see thing are run better than they are here.
  19. But only if they had not already been drawn. After that the odds are pretty sh!t.
  20. In my view that counts as insolvent.
  21. ??? If you were trading solvently then why did you crash? Why didn't you pay HMRC anything?
  22. It's a combination (I think). There are 64 opportunities for your event (32 home, 32 away) so it's 4032/64 which = 63
  23. Looks like a bloke with long hair to me.
  24. Some of us did that in our heads
  25. I wasn't saying that I agree with it, but the ECHR would still be there because 'we' signed up to it.
