  1. What's happening about their Manager, I'm sure there was meant to be an appointment today.
  2. "Colonel Jonathan Campbell-James said he feared for his life after The Guardian printed a story last September with the headline, "UK soldiers linked to torture jail", mentioning his name" Pretty serious if you ask me. Brave senior officer, fearing for his life. But, it's nothing compared to the disgraceful treatment of the Blair's Guru. All papers slander and libel people, all papers get things wrong, and all papers put their own slant on stories. Not just The Sun, Mail and Telegraph.............
  3. The problem with the Guardian is once they hate a person, they seem to stop at nothing to stir up **** about them... and this is what leads to stuff like this. http://www.mediaweek.co.uk/news/475419/Guardian-pays-58000-libel-damages-Abu-Ghraib-abuse-story/ http://www.pressgazette.co.uk/story.asp?storycode=44550 http://www.brandrepublic.com/news/846169/Guardian-apologises-pays-damages-settle-Tesco-tax-case/ So as you can see, even "Right on" papers sink to lows, or does that not count?
  4. It's complicated, Smokey Robinson & the Miracles recorded it first, then Marvin Gaye and then GN & Pips. But the Pips version was realised first , with Gaye's coming after but being the most famous. Gladys Knights is the best IMO, and one of the only songs that will get me away from the bar and onto the dance floor (much to my kids embarresment).
  5. I prefer Time is tight
  6. I would have to go for the Vag, as my Moobs mean I'll end up with both anyway.
  7. Forget all the nonsense about what she did or didn't do and stick to the meat of the story. Should expremiers be allowed to claim allowences for letters ect connected as a direct result of being PM. Major and Blair also claimed, (Brown is taking money as a back bench MP whilst doing sweet FA for his constituants). Personally, I think there should be an allowence, but it should be lower than the level claimed at present. Johnny Major bought the rules in,and all ex PM's no longer in Parliament are taking advantage.
  8. It's one of the reasons I'm happy at the Chapel. What do these idiots want us to do, save our ticket stubs and bring them as proof of our support over the years. I've got underpants older than some of our "bestest fans". Whether you go every week, or go when you can or when you can afford, or rarely go at all, you're still a Saints fan. My old man followed us in 3rd Division South, but rarely goes now as he's nearing his 80's,but he's still as passionate as the "yoof". They should grow up, or **** off.
  9. Good solid performance, in which every single player played well. I was worried about this one before the game, but it was a stroll.
  10. It was a good goal, notr the best I've seen at SMS, but a pretty decent effort. The bloke behind me was moaning at a couple of the sideways passes early on in the move, so he must have felt like a chump when it went in. Credit to RL, his movement and pull back made the goal.
  11. Would rather get 3 points in the League tomorrow,than win in Cup. What would have happened had Nigel played RL all game and he got injured?
  12. Andrew Neil
  13. As an old fart, I would say that youngsters get quite a large say from the audience. Personally, I believe the programme needs tweaking. I would have a panel of people like Andrew Neil, Kevin Maguire, Jeff Randall and other serious journo's asking questions, rather than the public. I'm fed up with people telling us their situations ."I cant get a job, what are the Govt doing about it" , "Why should I work till I'm 67", " I cant get on the property ladder". The number of times politicans are let off the hook by stupid interventions by the public, both left and right, is frustrating.
  14. Left, right, middle, black, white or green. They should pack up, have a wash, and stop disrupting ordinary people's lives.
  15. At the end of the day, there are only 2 sides to this. You either have the Govt legislating what directors of private companies can earn with some sort of wages policy, or you let private companies decide what they pay. Despite the excess' of a minority of greedy selfish fat cats, I would rather have that, than the Govt poking their nose in and dictating wage structures in private Companies.
  16. I would be interested to see how many of these soap dodgers are claiming benefits.
  17. I thought it was a pretty good show last night. The 2 women on there were completely and utterly hopeless, yet Dimble let them get away with it. Particulary that Lib/Dem women who was quoted from 2007 saying that denying the people a referundum was a travesty of justice. I've noticed the old goat always seems to go abit easy on young women. Where on earth did they dig that Labour bird up from, and what the hell did she do to get so far so fast?
  18. This is exactly what will happen and it will keep on happenening. We will never be given a vote on any European issue if the Establishment have their way.
  19. Here's an idea..... Those of you who think the BBC is good value for money, who would pay to watch all these programmes you're loving, pay a subscription to the BBC. The rest of us can make our minds up whether we want to pay it or not. We could abolish this TV poll tax, and I'd then have a choice on where I spend the £145.50 I am presently forced (with the threat of jail) to cough up for hours and hours of rubbish.
  20. It was a directive from the European Commission, which is an unelected body.
  21. You cant deny people a vote just because they're idiots or bigots.
  22. 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.
  23. 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.
  24. 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.
  25. 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?
