I went to an England game a coupe of years ago. Was really good, some posh restaurants with champagne, posher padded seats and a decent view looking down on the plebs below . I was right by the MOTD box too so that was fun. Going up the escalator to get in was impressive too and it's a very impressive stadium. Enjoy the day.

UKIP set to overtake Lib Dems as 3rd largest party?
hypochondriac replied to trousers's topic in The Lounge
My opinion is that the Lib Dems do not offer a credible government and thus by voting for them those voters either are not aware of those policies that are unworkable, are voting as a protest or are a bit dim. Of course some of their policies could work and not all are bad, but I can't honestly believe that someone could read extensively into the Lib Dems and their policies and decide that they are the party for them to provide a credible alternative. Fair enough if you believe differently but it's not arrogant to hold that opinion. -

I never stated that. It's my opinion based on the large majority of Lib Dem policy I have seen and heard. There is a reason they are the third party and not in with a real credible chance of winning. -

Yes I realise dune but I don't like to polarise things as much as you do. I have good friends who have voted Labour, and I did once (and my Dad has done in the past although voted Conservative this time) so I understand the reasons for doing so. I look at each party on their merits before each election and obviously take other factors into account. -
I don't even want to think about promotion until at least January.

Erm that looks like 23% to me and a higher percentage were younger, thus proving my point. -

Sensible was the wrong choice of words. What I meant was that they are actually voting for a workable alternative. Good or bad, Labour would be able to be in charge of the country should they win an election tomorrow. The same cannot be said for the Lib Dems. It's completely ridiculous to suggest that the Lib Dems are a credible alternative to the two leading parties and so those who vote for them can't really be taken seriously. I currently disagree with Labour policies, but I can respect those who vote for them and I cant say I wouldn't vote for them in the future. Lib Dems? No chance. -

Many Lib Dem policies from the election were unworkable and silly. They only came up with most of them because they knew they wouldn't win an election. The Lib Dems don't really stand for anything, and most who vote for them are young student types with little understanding of the way of the world. I imagine when they grow up these people vote for a proper party with proper policies as opposed to 'something different.' -

Anyone who votes Lib Dem IMO doesn't really know a lot about politics. At least those who vote for Labour believe in something sensible. -

Fantastic post. I agree wholeheartedly with every word. -

In regards to that last sentence, dune has been saying that about the Tories for ages in fairness to him. Anyway it's excellent news, the sooner we have more distant ties with Europe the better. You only have to see how the French leader basically said that the voice of democracy gets in the way of the European project to see what it's all about. I'm close to voting UKIP at the next general election though I will see. -
I disagree. In the position they are in where any alternative manager will just be surviving every year, it is a risk worth taking a potentially a great bit of business.

Once in six attempts. Poor.

Good to see derby lost too.

Coppell has a great championship record. Same cannot be said for Burley.

Which is a potentially cracking appointment for them. I hope not.

Sorry mate. Opted for the beanbag on groupon tonight. http://www.groupon.co.uk/deals/national-deal/infurn/1397956 Just unfortunate timing. All the best.

It was more to do with the fact that one of them has ms an so they were refused despite clearly demonstratin the ability to cope over a number of years and with that person having no relapses during that period. I do think it was a case of looking at the condition rather than the individual case. They got a young child and were obviously able to cope and gave them a much better childhood.

My parents adopted a child and found it very hard going. Almost not worth the effort though this was a good few years ago so things may have changed.

I see. Are you allowed to adopt with a criminal conviction? Anyone know?

Don't see why not, if he passes the required interviews and does things in the correct manner.

It's the internet. It isn't difficult.
