Whitey Grandad

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)

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.

I wonder which part I will have donated? I hope it's his smile (or part of it, maybe a tooth).

I'm fairly certain that's a renewal but it would be prudent to check.

A nice bloke but I think 'never let us down' is stretching things a bit too far. I think Maik Taylor was a better keeper but we sold him for £500k and bought Jones for £1m.

Cheers for that. I'm not sure we can afford another promotion.

Is that why you're called 'revolution' Saint?

No, you were right the first time. I did spell it incorrectly, but surely everyone is entitled to the odd slip of the keys? Disposable income as teenagers? You're 'avin a larf. Watch 'Saturday Night and Sunday Morning' to see what life was like.

You have been using 'entitled' in the wrong context.

I take it you weren't there? For teenagers the sixties were nothing like they have been portrayed.

You really, really haven't go a clue, have you?

Entitelment is conferred on the receiver of the concession by the organisation which is offering it. Hence anybody who meets the terns of the concession is entitled to receive it. Perhaps you mean 'deserving' of a concession? If they want to offer such then it is up to them. In this instance they have removed the concession, as they are entiled to do, and also applied very large price increases. This, along with the lack of postal information and extremely short renewal window is very curious marketing. I am deeply concerned about the way this club is heading.

It's all men, men, men with you isn't it? What about the women!

That's not what I am saying. In calling his dog 'n****r' he was not comparing or inferring anything against people of a different skin colour. The word had another meaning which was literally 'black' and came direct from the Latin and most educated people would have had this knowledge. The names Niger and Nigeria also have the same root. You're quite right that people held views which would be considered racist by today's standards. You should hear what they said about the Germans at the time.
