  1. Er, he scored in our 3-1 away win at Boro the year we got relegated
  2. Well I was outraged at the abolition of the 10p tax rate! I think I might have been the only one though!
  3. Nope, only if you do a dissertation do you get 'hons' - you can opt out in your final year, do somthing else and receive a simple "BSc" or "BA".
  4. Monty wasn't exactly the pinnicle of military excellene! No credible historian these days would state that Hiag is an outright 'Donkey'. That awful book published in the 60s called "The Donkeys" is a terrible peice of historical writing. I did my undergraduate dissertation on the week leading up to the Somme and my postgrad dissertation is on whether or not is was actually NCOs who were 'Donkeys' compared the Generals. What needs to be remembered, is that WW1 changed warfare for ever. The British generals, through no fault of their own, were fighting a war that had never 'happened' before. They had no pre-requisite (sp?) on how to fight a modern war and were in many cases still fighting the Boer War. What else could the generals have done? I cn provide you with a more comprehensive answer (with regards to munition failures etc) but I don't wish to annoy everyone! I can PM you if you wish.
  5. I don't want to get all 'history teacher' on you Yeovil, but the idea that Haig was indeed some sort of 'donkey' has been dismissed by academics since about the late 80s/early 90s...
  6. Churchill stood up to facism; Thatcher embodied facism. There would be riots if she had a state funeral! God bless you Dune, you're like my daily dose of prozac. Just out of curiosity Dune, what music were you into as a lad? Anything along the lines of "The Jam", "The Sex Pistols", "The Clash", "The Specials" and you'll be classed as a massive hypocrite...
  7. There are some for sure that could be classed as 'feral' (although a bit strong IMO), but I need to be careful what I say as I work with children on a daily basis
  8. A Labour support calling the youth of today 'feral'?
  9. LOL @ you being haunted! Have you tried simply putting the speakers on 'mute'.
  10. Got a 5 match acc. on tonight, no doubt Scotland will **** it up for me and beat the Czech Rep however.
  11. It will be a dull, lifeless 1-0 with no atmosphere.
  12. Is it on the box? I really can't be arsed with that!!!
  13. And yet, with all his 'clever' analogies Cameron won't win this election outright, and to me that is laughable. Listening to 5Live on the way home from work made me realise just how much of an intellectual he really was - a 'proper politician' who I'm sure was disgusted at the state 21st century British politics is in with parties with no difining policies and a generation of young people who think it's 'cool' not to vote or to get involved with politics.
  14. THIS!!
  15. Bloody hell!
  16. Could you list some of these stealth taxes? I think you've been watching too much Jeremy Kyle dune: I won't for one minute deny that there is a problem with some people who CHOOSE not to work and claim benefit, but the majority on state benefit are on it for legitimate reason. I would rather have the benefit system in place and a few people abuse it, then not have it there at all and have some sort of warped survival of the fittest as the alternative.
  17. Will you STOP using the same pathetic 'non-argument'? You're making yourself look silly! Reading some of the comments on the BBC, people are even now still lambasting him for wearing the so called 'Donkey Jacket'!!
  18. There are at least two things wrong with this statement... R.I.P to the man who created CND!
  19. Went to college in Totton with a lot of people who knew her. Needless to say; horrific!
  20. LOL!! This is ****ing quality!!!! 5-0!!!! Get in there Waigo!
  21. LOL 4-0!! Hammond
  22. *JINX ALERT!* One of the few games this season where I feel I can relax...
  23. Great save by Huddersfield keeper!
  24. Can you hear Glasgow moan? Noooooooooo, noooooooooo!
