Cameron seeks independence referendum clarity for Scotland
moonraker replied to Guided Missile's topic in The Lounge
You really are a pize p***k, saintandy has debated with more maturity and knowledge than anything I have ever seen from you. Until this effort your absence from this deabte had kept it in on topic and well argued by both Alpine and Saintandy. -
Simply NO

You ride to hounds, not ride out, sorry a bit pedantic but correct.

A Nazis with distinguished War record of fighting the Nazis, must be a rare breed indeed. This thread should be locked the, OP is one the most unpleasant I have ever read. Phillip has served this country with great distintinction, and I wish him quick recovery.

Bit difficult when you live 80 miles away. The issue I have with the fee is those who already have a higher cost per game with travel costs have no choice but to pay it, it penalises fans from our oft quoted wide spread catchment area who are not locals, and if you want to fill St Marys you need us.

There are many ways to use the statistics. The 5 year perspective considers the most recent performnces and could be argued to be the most relevent target, whilst it is a small sample it is statiscally sound within the context of the modern championship. If you use a 10 year perspective then the target is signifcanly different. The target also changes whether you use Average or Median values. For info only here are the Average and Median stats for the 10 year period, years 1 - 5 and years 6 - 10, rounded up as the FL only award whole points! MEDIAN POINTS REQUIRED FOR PROMOTION AVERAGE POINTS REQUIRED FOR PROMOTION 10 Year Champs 94 94 Runners Up 87 87 Years 1 - 5 Champs 98 98 Runners Up 89 89 Years 6 - 10 Champs 88 90 Runners Up 83 85 In reality it is simple you have to gain more points than 22 other clubs to win automatic promotion!!!

Public Sector Cuts V Tax Rises For Those Of Us That Pay Their Wages
moonraker replied to dune's topic in The Lounge
Great that’s me allowed to contribute to Dunes private little rant. As a private sector higher rate tax payer I fully support the Public Sector workers strike today and what’s more have been very pleased with service I get from my school, hospitals etc. Unlike the so called entrepreneurial builder (he actually had one of those awful Capitalism Works Stickers in his van) I once employed who failed to complete the contracted work then did a runner leaving me with a bill twice the size of his original quote. -
More irony missed by Dune, this Tory led coalition is hell bent on reducing the borrowing requirement and reducing spending hence the levle of interest becomes purley academic

The vast majority of crusaders were Johnny Foreigners. Apart form the immigrant French who ruled us the sensible English stayed out of it.
-
Yep 16 and to the RN.

I am very proud to be British, the EDA are not patriots they are self serving ignorant racist imbeciles.
-
Thank you for taking the time to explain my point so well. Your comments on the European experiment are very valid; it is not the strategy that is wrong but the delivery. A delivery that has been corrupted by vested national, corporate and selfish individual interests.
-
So you are not really for a free market then, and there is the rub, free marketeers do not really want a free market but one that is controlled to suit long standing vested interests.
-
So no exports then ! In a totally free market there is no them and us just me me me
-
By that token if a company wants to employ an immigrant, an immigrant and another immigrant they should be allowed to, a free labour market would do away with illegal immigration over night. In your wonderful unfettered free market capitalist society the logic is that that the labour market must be free and there would no barriers to immigration.

This is the best advice to date (apologies to all others who rightly said finish the degree). Traditionallymost degrees are not vocational they are about intellect, the ability to understand complex concepts and to demonstrate independent thinking. You only have this chance and if you give it up now you will regret it in the future. My Goddaughter read Anthropology, graduating 6 years ago, she has never worked as an anthropologist but equally she has never been out of work. I am an engineer working in engineering however my 2 closest colleagues read Medieval Languages and History & Politics they are highly valued in the business because they take a different perspective that makes us engineers think about things differently.

This is why I support RBL in preference to H4H. Because of the media the public think that it is only the army who are deployed in Afghanistan, for the past year the RN has provided 40% of the personnel this on top of other operational commitments,including Libya and anti piracy. The RN is approximately 15% of the total armed forces numbers but provides on average over 35% of deployed personnel. Both RBL and H4H are worthy causes and deserve the publics support for the work they do.

I have worn a poppy every year of my life and will continue to do so, but the country I have served and gone to war for and the country of those who gave there life for is one where wearing the poppy is a choice not a judgement. Your response demonstrates the attitude and desires of those that were defeated in 2 Global conflicts and those who wish to impose ultra religious codes on us today. Why I am surprised, you have never recognised the irony of your narrow-minded posts.
-
Yes I had it just over year ago, I still need reading glasses as they can not correct that but the results are great. I used Optimax, Bristol clinic, no complaints very good service.

To save effort i will repost what I posted on a similar thread in April 2009: I never cease to be amazed at the self righteous fan police. Whilst I am sure that not all of them are under 25, single, no kids, living within the city, the tone and style of their posts would indicate this profile to be the most prevalent. If attendance is a key guide I am a plastic only 3 games this season, despite over 45 years of support behind me. Why so few visits, I have a round trip of 160 miles to home games, I have family who don’t all share my passion and I also enjoy the egg chasing game and am a season ticket holder at Bath (I missed Saturdays top of the table game to support my football club in its hour of need) I took my eight year old, his 8th game, who said on Saturday when I explained the problems we have, "they can have all my money", he hasn’t taken his new shirt off since Saturday. He is of course currently a plastic, but watch out the self appointed fan police, in 10 years time he will be in the Northam setting the rules for the married over 35’s with kids who live outside the city and don’t quite share his youthful and admirable passion for our fantastic club, you never know some of you may have grown up by then and will be one of his targets. PS My son has now been to 24 games has 8 saints shirts and wouldn't dream of wearing any other teams shirt when he plays football at school or in the park, but hey ho were only plastics.

Cant be bothered to read this thread in full, but its simple the EDL have no right to use the Poppy to promote their political agenda. Politicising it is the reason FIFA banned it see the irony! beacause of the actions of organisations like the EDL the ban was imposed. Bunch of muppets.

Great reading I espeicially liked "with a refreshing brand of slick, attacking football with a refreshing brand of slick, attacking football seldom seen in English football’s second tier.

£5k appearance fee, so if they play 2 games in one week they get £10k + normal salary (not a lot), better than some regulars i would imagine.

Heres a bit of edumacation for ya "A rose by any other name would smell as sweet" or in case your edumacation is truly as limited and selective as your numerous posts would indictae "if it looks like aparthied and acts like aparthied it is F**cking aparthied"
