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?

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.

Left, right, middle, black, white or green. They should pack up, have a wash, and stop disrupting ordinary people's lives.

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.

I would be interested to see how many of these soap dodgers are claiming benefits.

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?

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.

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.

It was a directive from the European Commission, which is an unelected body.

You cant deny people a vote just because they're idiots or bigots.

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
