Fair enough, but I assume you are not a long-term ST holder who has been sitting with the same group for over 20 years?

That's the first rule of life, although I use the term 'idiots' myself. Not that it is more politically correct, just a result of my upbringing and experiences. Always assume that and you won't be far wrong. http://www.todayifoundout.com/index.php/2010/03/the-words-moron-imbecile-and-idiot-mean-different-things/

1. No you can't. 2. How do you go about doing that? 3. Who said I was not going? I know plenty of people who won't be.

Strictly speaking it's not 'naught' because that means nothing. Each of these symbols is merely one digit in a long number so a zero cannot be a nought or naught.

Why? Several thousand people can't be wrong. It's not just 'your usual seat', it's not sitting with your friends that you have know for years, getting a crap view from a corner when you normally sit on the halfway line, it's a different experience. Those of you who only go to one or two games may think it doesn't matter where you sit. For the regulars it's like going to an away game. Why close the best stand in the stadium? It's madness. You can't sell seats in a closed stand.

Hm, prefer Hammond and Chaplow meself.

Jolly Harbour?

You might very well think that, but that is the reason why the sales have been so poor. Not surprising really, if you close stands then people will not buy tickets in them. The Kingsland has the best seats in the stadium. Closing it is madness. They have been told this before.

I wold go even further than that... Why does anybody put the '0' on the front?

You should stop talking to yourself.

Perhaps he's worried what level bail will be fixed at?

Worth his place, although not yet up to last season's standards. Perhaps we expect too much from him, but I'm sure that as the games progress he will get back more to the Rickie we know and love.

I saw that. He seemed very pleased with himself (rightly so) because he stayed showing the 'advantage' signal for quit a time after the goal. Yes, a good performance, always in control, quite words where necessary. Worth an email to the FA? We're quick enough to complain when they are rubbish.

What happened with Swindon Town? Weren't they effectively relegated two divisions for financial irregularities?

There's no tea in Yorkshire. Not unless you spell it Yortshire.

Watford Gap. Northerners have no sense of humour. Not like us, anyway.

Was Leicester the match that was almost called off and they were sweeping water down the drains right up to kick-off?

It's the employee that gets the money. What would happen if the government (we taxpayers) did not pay this money? The workers would stay at home and expect their 'benefits' anyway. This is the part that is wrong. I agree, it is crazy to tax people with one hand and then give them money back from the State with the other. The same applies to all these so-called 'tax-credits'.

Leicester? Oh, Many Happy Returns.

But what about exports? You may be willing to pay more but the rest of the world isn't.

You are making the assumption that there is a great big profit margin on the product. The taxpayer is paying for people to stay at home and sit on their backsides. Who is receiving a subsidy here? The converse of your argument is more cogent. The combination of the minimum wage and the fact that it is more beneficial to stay at home on benefits means that prospective employers cannot find workers willing to do their work.

Has it moved?

Yes, I saw that. It struck me as an early example of spin doctoring, and who can blame them?. There are lots of place names ending in 'by' and they all tend to be in the northern 'Danelaw' part of England, such as Rugby, Whitby. We in the south have the saxon 'burgh's. (Grimsby is, of course, in Lincolnshire and not Yorkshire but is far enough oop north to count as being virtually the same thing) (This offering is intended solely to stimulate discussion and no offence is meant either by accident or otherwise)

This is an absolutely crazy suggestion. How can that possibly be a subsidy? The employer does not get the money. I was talking about investing in roads, rail, regional airports, bridges, and not discouraging small businesses by taxing them when they invest in new machinery. The extra money spent on the Health Service has almost all been wasted. And before anybody starts, you do not subsidise an activity by not taxing it. You might just as well say that the government is subsidising the air that you breathe by not charging you for it.

Doesn't 'Grimsby' originate from 'devil's village'? (no offence meant)
