But will we score 2?

A little too late for my liking, hes got 15 - 20 mins to turn this one around.

Not really Russ - you cannot fault them - they have been tremendous this season.

Brighton will still win.

I've just received an email to remind me that it is on my 'watch list' - still no bids - I reckon the 'high rollers' will be biding their time on this one - just watch it go through the roof in the last 2 mins - you heard it here first...!!!!

Personally I think that Dibden Purlieu Saint, man-of-raisin, georgeweahscousin, Thedelldays, David in Sweden and View from the Top might be just a few of our members who think that this is a pretty bad idea Dune. Haven't spoken 'to any of them personally - it's just a hunch that I have.

Glad to hear you and yours are fine Minsk - sad news from over there, unfortunately not too dissimilar to events that happen close to home as well. Stay safe.

Agree entirely.

Sincerely - thanks for that. It explains things a lot clearer.

Good. Why are we discussing racism?

Yo, get your ass on here Minsk and stop everybody worrying about you.

I just find it all so confusing. The officer asks a polite question and is accused of racism by the woman - call me simplistic, but I can only see the woman as being in the wrong. It has nothing to do with my religious beliefs, it is just borne of, what I term, common sence. I am quite happy for people to term my stance as racist if they so wish - but if that be the case, it is purely by virtue of what I believe to be 'right and wrong'.

I don't, but I might choose to, and if I did - I would still comply.

My I larfed.... I have just added that to my watch list to see how much it actually goes for... never mind the sellers state of mind, you have to worry about the buyer. 60 quid, I wouldn't give you 60p for the thing....!

I have no idea if my views are racist - this thread I find somewhat confusing. What I don't find confusing is that a Police Officer requested that a woman identify herself and she failed to do so, as a result she found herself in front of a judge - good. Racism, don't know - but, thank god, 'common sence' prevailed. I freqently travel, am often asked to identify myself to customs and excise officers, security staff and occasionally police officers, and I do so - every time. What is the difference between me and this lady?

Yes, we are probably all agreed on this. But the specific question that the OP raises is (I think), can (will) we catch Brighton, can (will) we overhaul them, will we win the league?

Ahhhhh European Law - the final bastion of justice when all else has failed - let's all run to the European Law. I hate to say this, but even if European Law says that it is discriminatory, try and find me an insurance company that is going to insure an 18 year old driver, driving a 2 litre motor for the same premium as somebody who is over 25, has full no claims. Google that. Sorry - but until thousands of 18 - 25 year olds take thier cases to the European Courts - and win them - then they will continue to pay high insurance premiums. It is so, because the facts point to them as being a high risk group. So for me - still not discriminatory, unfortunate for some, maybe, but discriminatory - no.

Of course we can catch them - but not until next season. They are home free now (and thoroughly deserve to be), let's just concentrate on not blowing 2nd place and then see who's top dog next year - should be interesting.

Ummm noted - poor quote selection by myself. Should of omitted the first sentence, it is not in context.

Without wishing to cause an argument - there is absolutely nothing discriminatory about it at all. Insurance companies have such high premium for drivers within a certain age range (generally classed as young people) because the facts show that they are more likely to be involved in accidents and thus require to claim upon their insurance. There is no discrimination there, insurance companies work very much like bookies - they have shown over a long period of time that young drives claim more.

Don't know where I stand on this to be quite honest - I probably fall into your 'elderly' category, yet when I'm out driving I look at the way some of the yoof drive and it dismays me. I tend to watch a lot of those reality police programs as well, and the joyriding / car theft chases that take place (while funny) are really quite dangerous - 90 percent of the people that 'bale out and run' after crashing the car appear to be somewhat youthful to me. (Well I couldn't run that fast anyway) I also tend to think that driving is a culteral thing as well - and we in Britain are not particularly good drivers (although our roads probably don't help either). I work abroad a lot and drive in both Holland and Germany amongst other places, but those two countries have very different road cultures as well. In Germany, many road sections are unregulated and so speeds on motorways are often in the 120+ in the outside lanes - meaning that you rarely see poor lane discipline. Generally speaking there B road system and town systems are also well thought out - there is no such thing as an accident in Germany, somebody is always in the wrong. If you drive from Germany to Holland, the very first thing you notice is the speed limit 120kmph - similar to ours in the UK. But the big exception is that they keep to it. A lot of Hollands motorways are radio controlled, which obviously regulates drivers, and conditions them to drive within certain limits. Another thing you notice about the roads as well is how well maintained, marked and how clean they are - Holland is really a place to drive and relax - it is not the rat race that you get in the UK. I rarely see 'boy racer' cars in these countries either, whether relevant I don't know - but it would appear that many of the young drivers tend to 'understate' their cars as opposed to over here where I see wall to wall 900 engines with great big exhaust pipes, cheapo alloys and a few fire stickers. As I say, driving is a cultural thing - personally, I just don't think we are very good at it in the UK.

Which is a totally trivial reason to carry out such an act, but Sky has an even more bizarre reason: "At the end of shore-based basic training and then lengthy specialist onboard work submariners are awarded a "dolphins" badge, which helps marks their difference from surface sailors. The MoD refused to comment on claims that the incident took place after a row unfolded over the use of a toilet." http://news.sky.com/skynews/Article/201104115969143 As I said before - totally sad incident for all involved.

Well that's that then - best lock this thread now. If only all threads were so cut and dried...!

Cherries look like they may not make the play-offs even now - their current form is gash.....

He's behind you.......!!!!
