  1. I have a philosophy degree. At least I think I do. I am a Pyrrhonic sceptic so I have my doubts.
  2. Indeed. Once the powers that be finished dumbing down school education they moved on to the unis...

    On a related-ish topic... How **** are England? The manager and the vast majority of the players don't have a clue.
  4. ...
  5. The problem is the number of people at universities. They should be for the academic elite and most of them, currently, are not. If this policy causes a decline in the number of people at university then good. I do worry about how the poorest and the lower middle classes will perceive this but structural reform is necessary. The only viable alternative would be to just compulsorily close down a load of the pointless universities but that would hardly be fair to the people studying or working at them; let the market decide.
  6. Could be really good as long as not too many idiots go. The main problems will be: The consumption of foul smelling food; Badly dressed people; People who are not quite developed enough to interact with others in a nice, charming and well-mannered way; The austere surroundings; and The poor beer. Having said that, 5 minutes with Paul Wotton would clearly make it all worthwhile!

    I hate

    I prefer Galaxy to Cadbury.
  8. I received the same email. I've replied suggesting a charge of Bringing the Game Into Disrepute might be more appropriate.
  9. On the contrary, I think the potential reward to the club from promotion is greater than the potential reward of selling him with only 6 months left on his contract. If we are ever going to achieve the owner's vision, we need to get promoted. That is more important than turning over a couple of mill from a player sale. For that reason, given that he's an important first XI player, I can't see him leaving in January (unless we are 20 points clear of third place!) - we will refuse all realistic offers. He may well not want to sign a new contract, which is up to him, but I'm sure he will see out the season with us.
  10. I hope he stays because he's a great player who can score nice goals but I would understand if he wants to play in the Premier League but maybe he would want to stay with us if he thinks we're going to get promoted but we will see! :smug:
  11. Well, I think that was the point that the alternative CVA the other firm prepared was trying to get at. It does slightly ignore one commercial reality though which is that if that £48m was ringfenced no one would be interested in owning PFC.
  12. Don't get me started on that. Anyone who wears a scarf when the warmest top they are wearing is a t-shirt needs to think long and hard about their life.
  13. Don't be a spazz. He's worse than Pekhart, Gasmi or Robertson is he? Or Todd? Or Potter? Or Spedding? What a tool.
  14. Turkish, good observation. I think some guidance is in order. Dear reader, please aspire for style like this: and less of this filth:
  15. I was going to do a mock "internet warrior" post earlier but I was right to just wait...
  16. That's fine if you want to issue gilts but if the Government has decided monetary expansion is not a good plan then it's to some extent a moot point.
  17. I would like to retract my previous post. I don't know why I wrote it. I apologise.
  18. Christ almighty, some of our fans have joined their message board. How sad.
  19. Log on for a quick look.... oh, juvenile and petty personal snipes from the lefties. Quelle surprise.

    What a bonus it us to have a well respected and professional chairman who can pull off these sorts of coups. He was due to play in SerieA this season and we're in the third division FFS. What a signing!

    Waffle!!

    It's just a load of Giant Cheese Taco.
  22. Exactly, and his attitude - doesn't dwell on mistakes and doesn't shirk responsibility.
  23. That's the one next to the tram track that runs up from Old Market Square towards the station isn't it? I was trying to remeber the name of that place - good bar.
  24. Ahh, yeah, Dogma! Good place.
  25. She didn't go because I'm the only one she loves.
