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?

When I scrapped my car last July, Silverlake were offering the best price. Webuyanycar.com offered £50 on condition I left the tax disk in, it had nearly 6 months left on it, Silverlake let me take it.

I don't remember ever taking a dump in a field (not as an adult anyway), and it was reported that 15 tonnes of waste was removed from the New Forest (paid for by New Forest tax payers). Slightly more than "a bit of hardcore".
