5-0? Are you Glen McGrath or something? Fear not Alpine, once Broad, Swann and co have got into the openers, England will be back at the crease by the end of day two.

Yep, the first day of the first test...it's all over.

This!!

This.

Where's Dune and his blood-spitting "he's a Marxist" tirade?

Right, at NO POINT does it mention the UAF - typical dune, all **** and no substance. Go back to your British Imperialism books.

Lets not generalise dune, personally, I'm not turning a blind eye to this anti-semitism amongst extreme members of the Muslim community. Also remember that this isn't 'Fascism', it's anti-semitism. The two arn't mutually exclusive IMO. Lets not pretend either that this anything we didn't know already (the anti-semitism amongst Muslim extremists not the so called 'Sharia Schools).

I agree with the sentiment Bexy, but this just gives him more licence to play the victim card and to be totally over-looked by the mods.

Would happily take a '1-0 off the arse of Hammond in the last minute' type of win tomorrow night. Brighton are a good side, but if we play as well as we did Saturady I don't think they will live with us.

As a case study let's look at British Gas, British Telecom, British Rail, British Airways - the list is endless of former public companies that were privatised and are now, frankly, pure ****. I'm not suggesting that they were 'amazing' when under government control, but if you have shareholders and the like, it's THEIR interests you have to serve by nature, not that of the customer.

Here we go...

This tater has just spaffed at the goal by the sound of it

Get in there Barnard! 1-0.

I've just seen something on Sky News about the NHS 'reforms' coming up. Dear God! 60 years of progress down the ****ing drain with the stroke of a pen. Just like everything else in this **** hole country we end up following what the Americans have: fragmented care and postcode lotteries. You cant put a price on healthcare, (well, you can if you're a Tory) the NHS works well (in my VAST experience unfortunately). Just taken the Australian visa test, passed easily, it's got to be worth considering.

You need a life. To be concerned with this at 33 is the saddest thing I've ever heard. I pity you.

I keep telling you Dune, there is no room for politics in the classroom, especailly in history where it is open to subjectivity. I teach pupils what I'm told to teach them from the government. If I was trying to 'brain wash' them it would be highly un-ethical and would ultimately cost me my career. The fact that I am an anti-fascist does however allow me to make sure that I am in line and follow to the letter current government initiatives such as 'Every Child Matters' which is as it should be as this is part of my job's remit.

Yeah but I knew that already.

Birds of a feather flock together.

Was Oliver Cromwell a Communist?

I'm neither for or against the monarchy really, I couldn't give a toss. The question I put to you dune is, considering your OWN definition, was Oliver Cromwell a Communist?

She has to surely be the fittest 'Queen-to-be' ever

What a ****ing joke. Ambition my arse Saints.

Well edited sir, I was about to enter into a diatribe.

I guess Kate Middleton's Maxim shoot is never going to happen now! :-(

Isn't/Wasn't Lembit part of the party that forms your beautiful coalition?
