What resources might they be? Someone going 'click'?

Women over 60 are legally OAP's, but don't get me started.

They are called customers and they are paying a lot of money.

Nobody went on strike when Gordon Brown stole billions from private sector pensions.

That's a very good return for £18,000. A typical annuity for a 65 year old with that amount would be more like £1150, not indexed.

Small Independent Retailers Going To The Wall

The Local Authorities don't help. They keep on increasing parking charges and introducing restrictions. I struggled for years with Eastleigh BC to convince them that cheap and free parking were essential but they didn't listen. I see that Winchester has now suspended Sunday charging shortly after introducing it. -
Some burglars do it lots of times.

My wife watches a lot of crime programmes. People use them because the call is untraceable. (to the person, that is, not the call box ).

This lot are 100 yards from me. There were a lot of police around when I turned up this morning at 10:10. It's a good job that they didn't raid my unit because all lot complain about me treating them like slaves.

Food for thought: http://www.learnaboutguns.com/2009/07/03/violent-burglar-shot-in-self-defense/ http://www.learnaboutguns.com/2010/11/23/evening-burglar-fatally-shot-by-lancaster-tx-homeowner/ http://public.findlaw.com/abaflg/flg-5-2d-2.html In 2004 Patrick Mercer MP won a ballot for private member's bills and put the choice of new law to a vote on the Today Programme on radio 4. The listeners voted to allow homeowners to use any 'force necessary' to defend themselves against intruders on their property. Mecrer said 'the public have voted, the bastards' and 'burglars have rights too', hoever he did put such a bill forward for discussion. http://www.thefreelibrary.com/Paul+Routledge%3A+Tony's+burgled+the+Tories'+crime+plan.-a0125974713

Or the ideal game to show the club what we think of their pricing policies?

All of those. You can't stop and try to reason with them. The moment you start talking you're lost and possibly dead. These four knew that what they were doing was wrong and deserve anything they got.

Black. Brown should not be worn in the evening.

I am doing my best to avoid the lot of it. Just don't ask me to pay for any of it. I managed to miss the last lot completely, it's just a load of overhyped mediocrity that's intended to make a very few people very rich. If I were to tell you that Paula Radcliffe is resident in Monaco then you'd understand.

I didn't notice them! Perhaps I'm going deaf as well as blind.

A bit less of the 'older fella', if you don't mind.

There have been many periods in the earth's history when the planet has been ice-free, and it's still here.

CO2 levels have been far higher than this in the past and the world has not cooked. The dinosaurs thrived on it for many millions of years.

Number 1 for me, for what it's worth. I assume this is the correct aspect ratio? (just checking)

Championship fixtures released - Leeds at home first

Me neither. Bloody television ruins football. -
Very true, but this is a whapping great correlation and points you in the right direction to start looking for further evidence.

A group of them turned up at the bottom of Ensign Way, Hamble on Friday. They've taken over the parking spaces of the industrial units.

That much is known and accepted. William Herschel noticed a direct correlation between the price of wheat and the number of sunspots. What is not known is the method by which they affect the climate. Because there is no science about this it cannot be incorporated into the climate models. Until there is more research the debate goes on... http://www.csmonitor.com/2007/0927/p13s03-sten.html

I concur.

Butlins? - Luxury! We had to make our own holiday camp. Three sticks of bamboo and grandpa's old hanky for a tent. If we wanted a swimming pool we had to dig a hole in a field and wait for it to rain. No cornflakes for breakfast. We had to cut little shapes out of old cereal packets and eat those. If we wanted milk we had to weight until the neighbours' dog had another set of puppies and try to squeeze the few last drops out of her. You try and tell the youngsters about it today and they won't believe you.
