A cover version has to be a lot different from the original in my opinion, add something to it, or be a slightly different take on the song. Joe Cocker did some of the best ones, before he went all soft. A Little help from my friends is obviously the most famous, but Delta Lady and She came in through the bathroom window were also fantastic. His best though, was his take on The Box Tops "The letter" Great version and a great band put together with Leon Russell. They are all pretty much off their heads, but it doesn't get much better than this IMO.

It has nothing to do with liking or not liking Europeans and everything to do with Parliamentry accountablility. Just a small example, but look at the new legislation regarding temp workers. My firm will no longer be using temps, and we did use a number at various times during the year. The upshot of this is that between 10-20 people, many of which want the flexibility of temp work, will lose work at our place. Some people may think that despite this the temp workers new rules are good. The fact is they were imposed on this country, our MP's didn't get a vote on it, therefore who is accountable at the ballot box, for me to voice my displeasure? Nobody should be able to impose rules and regulations without being accountable to the people.

This is complete rubbish, the nutters are Ken Clarke,Hestletine, Grocer Heath, Mandelson,Blair The Lib/Dems and all the other Loons, who wanted us to join the Euro. Cash and his like are more in tune with more British people than that bunch of nut jobs ever are over Europe. Before any of the pro Europeans can be taken seriously again, they should start by holding their hands up over The Euro. The should admitt they were wrong and people like Cash, Redwood and Tony Benn were right. The whole mess unsurprisingly goes back to that idiot John Major and the Maastricht Treaty. He should have allowed a vote on that, as lots of our powers were given away. Because he was in bed with loons like Clarke, Hestletine and Patten, he turned the Tory party against each other, and destroyed it from within. Yet, again the Loyalists who did not want to be governed by Europe, were right. There should have been a vote on that treaty. The ironic thing is that the most eurosceptic party, is the one that was nearly destroyed over fighting FOR more European intergration, whilst the pro European Labour and Lib/Dems sat back and watched (I bet they cant beleive their luck). The Maastricht Treaty costs the Torys plenty of seats, with James Goldsmiths party splitting the vote in many consistuancies (Not that they would have won in 97, but they would have been better placed), it also proberly cost David Davies the tory leadership as well.Many back benchers and grass roots have never forgotten that he was a whip who rammed the treaty through Parliament, with strong arm tactics. Cameron is doing the same thing that many Tory wets do. He won the leadership by making out he is Eurosceptic (to defeat Davies, see above ) and then once in power, went all native on us.Like the left of the Labour party, the Tory right is driven by principles and not by power and favour. He will have lost a lot of trust over this and what are we into, his second year. Blair took about 5/6 years to start to lose the trust of his party.

He is the last person we should be listening to regarding the EU. If it was down to him we'd be in the Euro now. His party also had a manifesto pledge for an in/out vote and his MP's walked out of the chamber in protest at being denied one during the Lisbon debate.How on earth anyone can quote this hypercritical clown to back up any arguement is beyond me. That's the thing with the EU debate, the most passionate about the EU, idiots like Clegg and Ken Clarke have been proved to be wrong over the ERM & again over the Euro and yet we're meant to take advise from them?

Do you really not get it? If enough vote UKIP to keep the Torys out, the end result will be a pro European Labour Govt. How on earth does that help the cause of the Euro realists?

For or against we should be asked. We were asked whether to remain in a Common Market, this is a whole lot more than a common market, and yet we've not been given a say. Powers have been signed away, and we've had no say in it. In hundreds of years historians will look back and wonder just how it was allowed to happen.

But they then started this rule that if X amount of people demanded a debate, then one should be held. The Lib/Dems called for an in/out vote, so it's bizzare that they are oppossing this, particulary as it's no chance of winning. There is one reason and one reason only that there will never be a vote on Europe, and that's because they're worried that the British people will vote against.

Cameron is more interested in power than principles over this. The Euro realists are between a rock and a hard place and he knows this. UKIP will never form a Govt and Labour and Lib/Dems are obsessed with handing more power over to the EU(Milliband even refuses to rule out ever joining the Euro, just says it will be "very hard to see").Therefore Cameron can grandstand over this and not give the opposition the chance to portray him as "right wing" over Europe. It is a stragey perfected by Tony Blair, appeal to the centre and upset your core support as they've nowhere else to go.Tony Blair picked a fight with the left of his party, to appear reasonable and Cameron will do the same over Europe. The biggest hypercrites over this are the Lib/Dems, whose maneifesto included an in/out vote and yet are voting against this motion. The party machines and the establishment will ensure the British people never get a vote on Europe. I remember the original vote, where politicans were allowed to vote for which ever side they wanted. Joining forces with political foes, and then going back to their "day jobs", either in opposition or Govt. Now vote against the party line over Europe, and your career's over.

What ever happens it can not be as bad as the last visit and the loss of bottle from nearly all our players. We'll be well above them in the league,and finishing above them is more important than beating them IMO. I just pray to god we dont sing "we've got more points than you" if we start losing, hearing Boscombe sing that was the most cringeworthy chant I've heard in 40 years of watching football. Dont shoot me, but I'd take 2 defeats and then promotion, over 2 wins and staying down.

Fonte has surprised me this season, I really thought he was Premier League standard but he's struggled to pick up the pace in this league. That said, I dont think Martin is the answer just yet. He should have scored and I think Fonte would of done, but that's not his primary job. Defensively, he did well and is good cover, but I would always have Fonte back in, despite some iffy moments.

Half of what MP did was complete and utter rubbish, but when it worked it was pure comedy gold. Life of Brian is their peak, it is funny and really clever, with some brillant performances.It hit the nail on the head, ridiculing some of the church's ridiculous beliefs. The establishment hated it because it touches a raw nerve. The highlights for me, were the 3 wisemen at the start, the line "He is the messiah, I should know I've followed a few in my time" and Eric Idle, who was fantastic in it.

Couple more wins and they'll be appointing Gray and Wittingham. I might email the club, suggesting that. Perhaps a few of us should hold our noses make out we're Skates and email urging the appointment (obviously dont use the spell checker, otherwise thy'll twig).

They should resign Claridge, he's just banged one in on his comeback. He's younger than Kanu, so you never know.

Claridge has scored for Gosport

We couldn't cope without Lambert at present, but that's mainly down to the lack of a replacement up front. Would also worry if one of the two centre halfs were injured. I think we can rotate around other injuries (as proved by managing ok without AL). We really do need another target man to bring in as cover for RL, and Martin doesn't totally convince me.

You dont seriously believe he wasn't executed do you? Eye witness' are claiming that his son was captured alive, but he then turned up dead a few minutes later. I'm all for the death penalty, all for mass murderers being exacuted and filmed on mobile phones, but I'm not selective about it. If some hairy grunt did for Huntley during an "incident" in prison, Cameron and the rest of the two faced bastards would be condemning it.

Shot, instead of being put on trial. The Israelis would have been condemned by Leftie's everywhere had they done the same thing.

First Bin Laden and now Gaddafi, and British politicans lining up to rejoice. Funny that because is it was Huntley, Fred West or Hindly they'd bang on about the death penalty having no place in a civilised society.

What on earth are you on about? I never mentioned benefits once, just said "had she considered getting a part time job". Surely that is one of her options, places like ASDA and Tesco are still expanding and taking on part timers, perhaps she could work from home. I dont know, and to be blunt I dont really care. I have enough to worry about in my own life, struggling to pay my bills. My point was and remains that in my opinion too many people look to the state to help them with their problems. Welfare is an insurance fund that everybody pays into via the tax system. It is then a safety net for people who are struggling, to ensure that people are fed and have some money to live on. Once you've received this welfare, its up to you how you spend it, you have the same issues that working people have, my Mortgage may go up, so may her rent. Deal with it, like I have to. Once the state has paid the welfare, it should get the hell out of people's lives and leave them to get on with them. You cant have councillours micro managing people's lives.

Surely any verdict will have an influence of Redknapps case, so you cant really draw a conculsion either way.

This is good news for the local economy. Perhaps we could also temp the English team to be based in a SO hotel. Think of the extra revenue the Clubs and pubs would receive if the team were based in the City..........

I would ask her whether she had heard of the CAB, whether she has considered moving to a smaller place, whether she could cut down on some of her spending, or whether she could get a part time job to cover the rent rise. I would also point out to her that in a free market landlords can put the rent up.I would finish off by asking her exactly what she wanted me to do about it, did she want to use my spare room, did she want a loan off me, did she want me to build her a house? I would end by saying that if she didn't like it, she could place her X somewhere else next time, and if enough people agreed with her, then I would lose my £120,000 a year job (perhaps I could write to my reploacement asking for advise on living after losing so much money). I still dont see how that makes me or him a hypocrite. Unless he stood for election under the banner of "Vote for me and I'll help with all your problems" and then told her to **** off. I dont want my councillors wasting time on helping people pay their rent, when the answers are bleeding obvious. If less people looked to the state to help them, then maybe we could cut down on the number of state officals, and cut down on the obscene amount of money we pay these career politicans.

Labour sleaze-Trolling.

"I am afraid you have to live in the real world where the country has no money and residents will have to deal with their own issues rather than expecting 'the system' to sort their lives out. This correspondence is now closed." That is exactly what I would have told her. Just because she doesn't like the answer, why does that make him a hypocrite?

I'm contracted to do 39 hours, but the bosses line is that I do whatever hours it takes to do my job. There is no O/T or TOIL for extra hours as I'm salaried. I tend to do an hour a day and more if needed.However, because I've built up quite a lot of goodwill, am not seen as taking the **** (unlike other Managers), I get to leave early when I need to, slip in extra days off occasionaly and generally do the hours I want to.I Manage 50 odd staff and sometimes ask them to stay on (they however do get paid O/T), because they can see that I put the hours in, they are quite willing to do so.Whereas other managers who take the ****, struggle to get extar out of their teams. My advise (for what it's worth) is to do a great job early on, be prepared to do extra for nothing, win the trust of the bosses, and most will treat you well. I've not been questioned about my hours or working day or even holidays, for the past 9 years, and all I now do is half an hour early and stay half an hour late, and once in a while put a bit extra in. The ones who clock watch end up getting more ****e from the boss, and end up worrying about work whislt at home.For the sake of 5 hours a week, I have stress free time off and more job satisfaction.
