I believe they are working Monday & Tuesday, back on strike on Wednesday. They are supposed to be carrying on from where they left of 2 weeks or so ago, but on a work to rule. This basically means slowly & not taking the rubbish that isn't actually in a bin. Best to just leave them out until Wed mornimg, if they collect them, all well & good. My blue bin was collected on Friday, so I guess the green one will go tomorrow.

Bloody hell. I've just had heart failure. I've opened a thread entitled "OK what happens now" to read the first post: Then the second post: I went to the OS expecting some earth shattering announcement, only to read about ticket prices & the like. Then I clocked the date. You B*******. :lol:

Try Centurion Business Park, (next to Northam Bridge). I don't think you need a permit, and as long as you don't park outside of the same business every day I doubt if you'll get rumbled

I don't think your average meter reader or postman will let themselves into a property in the early hours of the morning. I think most can spot the difference between a bloke armed with a pen-light & a pencil and with a British Gas ID badge & 4 blokes in balaclavas and a bag marked "swag". I'm don't recall Tony Martin being driven to the edge of a break-down by the postie dropping by ocassionally.

What about the guy you were taking the **** out of? You must be so proud of yourself.

I seem to recall the dear departed Deppo was banned for that?

My neighbour was burgled, 3 of them went in, not as a show of force though, because they knew my neighbour was away, one of the burgulars was her son.

Like Baj says, only I'd give the knife to my Mrs & hide behind her. Seriously though, 1 stab wound then self defence, any more & you need to ask questions, although if the wound is in the back, presumably the burglar was running away, so I guess that is questionable. Based on the little I've heard about this, if the housholder was up for murder & I was on the jury, it'd be not guilty from me.

May I remind you that we don't have a Conservative government in power, but a coalition. I believe it was the other half of the coalition who came up with this scheme that you are getting all hot & sweaty about.

Second class citizens eh! Thanks for the answers.

Why is that, even if the guy isn't cut-out to be a commander, he is still an experienced, intelligent bloke. There must be something useful he could do?

Excellent lol the blond with the curly hair.

I wanted to watch this but we ended up with guests, so only caught the odd bit. I was puzzled why the commander has to do mental calculations when working out the range/speed etc of approaching vessels. Surely with modern technology there could be a gadget in the periscope that can do this with more speed & accuracy? This may have been answered in the programme, or I may have got hold of the wrong end of the stick, bearing in mind my opening sentence. There was a programme similar to this in the 80's, and I remember that a failed commander could no longer serve on a sub, is this still the case?

I agree with you sentiments 100%. I just don't think FIFA investigating FIFA would throw up anything.

I doubt if the FIFA investigation would find anything to pin on anyone - it was always going to be a whitewash. An investigation needs to be undertaken by an independent body.

Much as I detest Mr Warner & pretty much anything to do with FIFA, I'm not sure what continuing the so-called investigation would achieve, if he were to be found guilty what sanctions could be taken, as he is no-longer part of the FIFA organisation? If there is a whiff of criminal activity shouldn't the police be investigating?

This prompted me to google him. I can't believe it's 12 years since we lost him. A truly magnificent bowler.

Just found out. Really gutted by this. Another of musics greats gone. He was the only member of the E Street band to feature on the cover of an album with Springsteen. Rip Big Man.

That's a shame, I quite liked him, I thought he was relatively solid & dependable without being flash. He's a young lad who will get better. Good luck to him.

Aren't all starting salaries crap? Do you expect to come of university straight into a 35-40k job? A graduate engineer, in my line of work, earns about the same as the NQT quoted above.

That's a good call, a short walk into Brockenhurst to the pubs.

I'm sure the Skates would've happily accepted a refund, should he felt so inclined.

Peter Osgood played in the 1966 League cup final. Was Nick Holmes in the crowd at the World Cup Final?
