  1. Yeah fair enough. That sounds like a much more accurate description.
  2. I have still never seen any evidence that real poverty exists in this country. Go to Kenya and see people actually doing of starvation and then talk about poverty.
  3. Pretty sure this has been discussed before. From talking to people involved with foodbanks, my recollection was that for some people it really was their last resort (fair enough) whilst for others it was felt that free food had been publicised and they felt that they could use it without having to spend their own money so why not? I was told that quite a few were moaning about what they received because they wanted something better as well. I'm certain that some people genuinely use them but I'm also sure that numbers have increased because they have received hugely more publicity and not everyone who uses them does so because they have no other choice.
  4. Sounds like that's exactly what the snp intend to do.
  5. Why would you start ruining it for people who haven't watched the episodes? *****.
  6. Odd that someone who claims to be a new fan from Asia would know about this. Hello Glasgow.
  7. Indeed. I'm not really a fan of the Conservatives particularly but the only alternative looks to be clearly much worse.
  8. They won't appoint beattie as manager.
  9. Haven't seen an official link from anywhere.
  10. Around 1999 I was on a BBC programme and I had to go to television studios in London. There was a long corridor there full of funhouse photos. I considered it really odd considering I never viewed it as a jewel in the crown. Was it ever valued that highly?
  11. Can anyone do an operation white vote with pat Sharpe turning slowly blacker? Nothing wrong with that!
  12. Few of these clearly aren't ridiculous and the person writing the article has twisted the words to suit their agenda. Quite a few of them are nuts though.
  13. Not sure we will tbh. Parties will now be scared of being like the lib dems and will make more of a fuss. The snp have already said they will support labour on an issue by issue basis which means they will make much more of a fuss about things they disagree with. I think either party could do worse than to appoint a competent female as their next leader.
  14. It was naive of nick not to recognise that that policy was the reason why many voted for him. He should have appeared to make much more of a fuss about it than he did.
  15. As none of you know each other on here, isn't the use of "mum" just the equivalent of a "yo mamma" joke shouted at a stranger from across the road? Not sure why everyone is getting so riled about it...
  16. I'm not an idiot. It misses that
  17. You'd have to ask the best man. My preference is Germany or Italy if it's slightly more relaxed.
  18. It's very unlikely we will win all five of our games.
  19. I'm not sure how anyone can be totally realistic and end up with us in fourth. It's possible but pretty unlikely.
  20. Thanks for the sage advice Brian. I'll bear it in mind
  21. Just rang and the woman said they can confirm the booking. I'm still not convinced though so I'll get written confirmation via email.
  22. Yeah may do. Not sure if there is much they can do if they give the whole hotel over to their own wedding though.
  23. OK so I have booked a fairly expensive hotel for my fiancee and I to stay for the night when we get married in summer 2016. I used hotels.com and got a cheaper deal that was non-refundable. I got a bit suspicious afterwards though because I have looked at the hotel's website and it doesn't allow you to book on a Saturday just for one night in the summer. They also have most Saturday's in July of this year unavailable to book as they have weddings of their own at the hotel. I have some questions: 1) hotels.com says my booking is guaranteed but also that it is non-refundable. Are either of these things true? 2) Can the hotel just cancel my booking nearer the time? If they do this then where do I stand legally? Why can hotels.com offer rooms which are otherwise unavailable? If you can't book them then surely they shouldn't be offering them? I have emailed the hotel directly to ask but have had no response yet. Any ideas anyone?
  24. Do you have West brom to lose every game?
  25. I know but I want us to finish above one of Spurs or Liverpool.
