  1. Who is this nutter who has got a pet Ladybird?!?! Only in bloody Langley (my home hamlet, suprised I don't know the bloke!)
  2. MK go close...
  3. Morgs goes v.close - COYS!
  4. Lambert goes close!
  5. Corner to Saints...this happened at Swindon though!
  6. That Lewington is such a ****.
  7. I couldn't tell you I'm afraid, no multiple choice questions in history.
  8. I bet what that article didn't tell you is that his 'correct answer' would probably have got him 1 mark out of a probable 6 or something...
  9. I would take a draw tonight I think bearing in mind he has only had 2 days with the players. Good luck tonight NA.
  10. Thank god that's not the case. I have no choice to live pay packet to pay packet dune, I've been in full time work for 13 months and I don't live with my parents. My rent/council tax is madness, utility bills are extortion and shopping (even before the 20%) for food still requires me to add up with a calculator as I go round. I am barely left with £350 a month to have a 'life'' and pay for petrol.
  11. When the inevitable happens Dune and a general/multi-service strike is called and the country grinds to a halt, I'll ask you where your precious bankers are to help you then...
  12. Hmmmmmmm, National Socialist German Workers Party... ...Labour removed Clause 4
  13. Listen to it will you! 'Ideals', Jesus wept; for ideals read 'basics'. Run off to the US with St.George and join the Tea Party.
  14. I was going to reply to this and then I saw badgerx16 already made you look like a cretin, AGAIN! I see even Mervyn King is coming out now seeking to calm the Unions... http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-11300291
  15. Footballers wages are a national disgrace in my opinion, and there should be a 60% tax band for the amount they earn! It's the same argument that you have for high banker wages: you want the best so you pay the most right? So if we want outstanding nurses and new Maths/science teachers etc surely these wages need to be brought up to an 'executive' level sooner?
  16. Perhaps everyone should try and screw over everybody else, we should say '**** the poor, lets keep them there, I'm fine in my 3 storey town house', the essential things in life should be reserved solely for those who can afford to pay them... Two can play your very simply game Redondo.
  17. They do do the most important jobs, along with the forces...What do YOU judge as an 'important' job?
  18. How dare you present dune with facts, hang your head in shame sir!
  19. It's not always as simple as that to do though.
  20. He came across very well I thought, I'm liking the guy more by the second. Lets just hope we can steal a point or three tommorrow night...
  21. While I can appreciate his undoubted hard work, and as you say, fair play to the guy, you will never make me feel sorry for a person earning that much money. I should certainly hope he does work hard for that wage! There are many people who work harder than him and don't get paid a 'deserving wage' (and I'm not so egotistical to include myself in that statement). Regardless, this wasn't the point I was attempting to make. As I said, I have no problem with your mate and his basic salary in theory, but does he need that bonus? Does he heck. In these times of economic hardship, (for everyone apparently!) when EVERYONE is suffering these bonuses should be taken as tax by the government on the company. Once stability returns, bonuses can be brought back. Also, please don't insult me by implying that I am jealous of people that work in the City. While I'm sure everyone would like their money, 'making money' is not in my make-up. I'm doing the job I want to do and am perfectly happy. It's in the interests of fairness that the banking sector forks out their share. Two places they can start is bonuses and the outlandish wages paid to CEOs and their ilk.
  22. Did they go for a Grade 2? His missus is an Irish public servant, so I guess he does know! Keir Hardie a Labour MP in 1912 said "Use the wealth of the nation for the benefit of its people." We could easily pay back the defecit and keep the investment in the public sector (therefore keeping all sides happy) if we took to task those Canary Wharf fat cats.
  23. I read today on the BBC that bonuses are back to normal in the financial services industry...all in this together eh! FWIW I'm not in support of industrial action...yet. I believe at the moment it will do more harm than good. I want to wait to see the effects of Osbourne's welfare cuts before we start 'downing tools'.
  24. I accept your apology, thank you.
  25. To those ****s Badger and Buc****im who doubted my brother earlier on -****ing have some of that you ****s! Welcome Nigel, I hope you go ahead and severely prove me wrong!
