I don't live in a little village Though it would be fair to say I have little experience beyond living where I live, just as others do unless they have moved about.

A sausage egg McMuffin is the perfect hangover cure.

Products of their industry and surroundings.

I get you now. Footballers are paid a lot, but they are only products of their industry.

Well, that is hardly helpful at all. If you don't have anything constructive to say, it's better not to say it at all.

You've lost me.

No idea, but I would imagine those that do well in the big competitions get quite a bit. I don't follow Golf though.

In fairness, you do get extremist Christians. Anders Behring Brevik and in countries like the US there a lot of people just as nasty in their views as extremist Muslims. And that video is disgusting.

Golfers earn a lot too at the top - http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/specials/fortunate50-2011/index.html

Is there chronic tax evasion by Footballers? And if he is a hypocrite, he's even more on his way to politics

Indeed, that is a good idea. He'd be a good champion for sport. This is probably a stupid question, but do you have to be a currently active player to be chair of the PFA?

I was actually thinking tonight what he might do once he retires. Could see him as a politician of some sort, and I think that he is perhaps slightly left of centre? But he is quite constructive and pragmatic. He has a good manner also.

:'( MY FEELINGS ARE IRREVERSIBLY HURT. It was David Starkey who is always worth a watch just for the pure lols, John Redwood, Rachel Reeves, Jo Swinson and Clarke Carlisle. A pretty good episode actually!

Interesting discussion on de facto segregation in the UK on Question Time at the moment.

It's very sad, but Pompeys finances are so bad, I can not see why anyone would want to buy them. They would probably get a better return by chucking all their money down a drain. Shame really, I was looking forward to our match.

Not sounding good. Sounds like they just need to be liquidated. The fans will have to do an AFC Wimbledon style club. What are the chances of them making it to our match?

Bloody morons.

I guess it is similar to when people insist on calling the UK England.

Better to try out a relationship and see if it works with the limitations in place than walk away straight away.

If it gets younger people involved in programming, then that's good. We will need that for this country in the future. IT lessons at school are a joke at the moment. Or at least they were when I was there a few years ago. We need to teach people computing rather than just how to use excel and word for 5 years. Wish I knew how to programme stuff. I don't have a clue.

The war in Afghanistan has cost the states alone $500bn allegedly. How much is the international morphine industry worth?

What is useful that is in Afghanistan? It doesn't have any oil, and I might be wrong here, no minerals or whatever either! The Taleban were refusing to hand over Bin Laden, and even if we had gone in a taken out Bin Laden and put him on trial, the structures of the organisation would still be in place and so Al Qaeda would have still been able to launch attacks. Most analysts I've heard speak on the TV or whatever recently seem to think Bin Laden's Al Qaeda is finished. Of course, whether as you say, we have created even more budding Bin Ladens by our chosen way to combat the problem is another question all together. But I disagree that we should have just concentrated on Bin Laden, as Al Qaeda was more than Bin Laden. Bin Laden, as far as I am aware was only a figure head and not the driving organisational force.

It wasn't really just about Bin Laden though, as far as I understand anyways. Wasn't it more about the fact that the Taleban were allowing Afghanistan to be used as some sort of headquarters for Al Qaeda? If that was the case, didn't we need to do more than just go in and get the lead man, but systematically dismantle Al Qaeda(as apparently we have now done, perhaps someone else can enlighten us on the progress of this 10 and a half years on) training bases and so on... Iraq was obviously different.

We should invest in green energy. Oil will run out sooner or later anyways, and it'll create jobs in our economy and in the end lead to cheaper energy. And we'll stop having to worrying as much everytime a member of OPEC sneezes.

Sounds good to me
