Trying to do anything with Clingfilm Trying to do find the end of the sellotape Wrapping paper that actively repells sellotape My wifes insistence that all presents should be wrapped People who cannot grasp the blindingly obvious quickly Car salesmen (especially the Audi garage in chandlers ford)

Cyclists who ignore the perfectly good cycle path three foot to their left in the misguided belief that they are some new Bradley Wiggins and that cycling on the road is better for the cadence / wattage output etc. No, you are just a fat middle aged git who is in the throws of a mid life crisis. Cyclists who complain that they do not get enough respect from motorists and promptly jump lights and cycling up the inside of cars at speed - and you wonder why you get knocked off? Cyclists who ride two or three abreast. The outside riders should be legally classified as fair game.

Putting the bins out especially in the rain cats - actually forget that, I detest the furry little feckers the noise my coffee machine makes when it just ran out of beans mid grind.

And so that is like everyone under the age of 25.

Agree , we should move, it takes too long to get out of town. If we put in fareham, it would be a lot more convenient.

Well perhaps through her death if she brings a community together that she damaged whilst alive - there is something poetic about that.

fox - god help us Big Sam tactical talk is going to be easy - batter them down the left.

I'm not sure that vile accurately describes "death parties" - they seem a little childish if I'm honest.

I miss her makura

Sorry about that chaps.

They have the mother of all consolidation loans -- that is not exactly the definition of debt free is it.

Still costing people their jobs...

Enough of this selective thread targeting, there is nothing happening on the main board or the lounge - turn the whole lot into a car park "Not needed: prisoners, apology, surrender"; "Burn the enemy to ashes"; "Throw them into furnace"

Was on 20k, I was led to believe

300 m eh? If a league one club can do that then it would be fair to say that th 92 clubs in the league can generate a collective £27 bn per year. So if we state sponsor another 450 clubs, the deficit is gone and we all live happily ever after (under the sea)

Good post If all state funded schools were great, fee paying schools would cease to exist in the mainstream. I can remember being told that the thorden catchment was worth at least £50k to your house price, so it's not surprising people stay put and pay school fees instead.

I think there is a distinct difference in the types of fee paying schools out there. There are the uber expensive harrows and etons of the world which are elitist if purely because the fees are so high that 99% of the population are excluded on that basis. at the other end is school such as King Edwards. Most of the kids there are from middle income backgrounds and are certainly not elitist. I was sent to this school for two reasons, the local comp was carp and there were a lot of teachers strikes at the time so my parents made a decision to take me out of state education. There are some great state schools if you are lucky enough to be the catchment (Thorden), however if not, private schools offer a good level of teaching and facilities that otherwise would be down to a bit of a postcode lottery.

I think that is a little bit assumptive on your part. May be 50 years ago, unlikely to be a criteria today. As a side note, it is highly probable that the UK's greatest living prime minister (serving or otherwise) is John Major.

You have a real hang up with someone going to eton - why shouldn't a family who is wealthy choose to send their son to the school and why should this preclude that child from being capable of being prime minister?

Not what I said. I was countering the ridulous notion that you could compare a football club funded by a private individual to a state subsidised industry. Why do you think that there are similarities?
