    Sounds promising.
  2. It would be pretty worrying if he didn’t look decent playing for Celtic. Georgios Samaras.
  3. Rule 1.
  4. It's "follow! Follow!", you dumb numpty. "Hello! Hello! Boys!" - some Village People mincing ****e?
  5. That's Why I'm Voting UKIP - **** and the Gang.
  6. The Maori Empire certainly needed bringing down a peg or two. You're right though - I don’t personally feel guilt as it was nothing to do with me. In just the same way it’s idiotic to be proud of what your grandparents did in the war, for example.
  7. Means they have salt and vinegar crisps, not just paprika.
  8. And unlikely to bone any of the birds anymore.
  9. Whelk seems quite violent, I wonder what he thinks.
  10. Smoking is a disgusting habit and it’s quite right that children aren’t allowed to do it.
  11. I don't think we can rely on tackling the keeper and Djenepo solo efforts for goals as a long term plan.
  12. Would get confusing if there's a reidentification mid-song though. Also excludes mutes which is not acceptable.
  13. Only as a last resort.
  14. Fair enough - I must have missed that. Boris needs to control the Swivels then, really. But Article 50 of the Lisbon Treaty allows a finite end to membership unilaterally. Is the Lisbon Treaty "worthless"?. The point of this sort of back-stop I am suggesting would be that it preserves continuity whilst a permanent solution is looked for but doesn't conflict with the principle of self-determination under Article 50. The EU pushed it too far and May should never have brought back the WA with the back-stop in its current form; we should have pushed harder for a firm ability to draw a line under it, even if that was after a lengthy notice period.
  15. I don't really understand why the EU doesn't agree to a finite end date for the back-stop and to allow the UK to unilaterally withdraw from it, given a notice period. Article 50 provides for unilateral withdrawal and a finite end date, after which there is no deal, unless a deal has been agreed. As a point of principle, a finite back-stop with unilateral withdrawal seems no different to the pre-exit position on withdrawal. An infinite back-stop with no unilateral right to withdraw puts the exiting country in a less-flexible position than pre-exit which, at a principles level, is obviously wrong. If that concession was made, which puts the EU in no worse a position than the current situation (particularly when taken alongside the other aspects of the WA), we'd probably have a deal. Yes, it kicks the can down the road somewhat - you've still got to deal with what happens after the back-stop - but so does "no deal" and so does the proposed WA. I'm critical of our government's approach and ineptitude over the last few years but I think the EU's position on the back-stop is certainly a subject of valid criticism. I don't think they would be conceding much, in practical terms, by offering the unilateral ability to the UK to end it.
  16. Without wanting to grass-up anyone, do any pubs in Soton show the 3pm kick offs on a Sat? Kelly's (the classy wine bar) used to. Feel free to PM me, boss.
  17. Post the full lyrics then for perusal please. Let's be having you.
  18. Is it bigger than the bread bin?
  19. Apart from his pathetic role in their winner, yeah, he was alright.
  20. Ref blow up way too soon there.
  21. Should have had a foul on the edge of the box. Ref has got drop ball rule wrong here. We had the ball FFS.
  22. Utter garbage there.
  23. Takes Ings off.
  24. Get JWP off. Pointless.
