They offer that if it is needed to sell their product. It is a commercial decision, not a charity. Surely you can see that? The fact that sales have gone up since the withdrawal of the plan quite clearly seems to indicate that we do not need to offer one. I bet gate receipts are up this season.

Why should the club give a monkey's who the holder of the ST is? They are interested in numbers.

It is daft to say "it's clear to me that x, y and z" and when asked why it's "clear" to reply "instinct" and expect people to be even the least bit impressed. Maybe if you wrote in a style that wasn't so unequivocal your unrelenting misanthropy wouldn't be quite so difficult to bear. In turn, this might reduce the amount of mocking you get.

And if I looked like Ribery I would probably be even more enthusiastic in my prossy procuring.

Katla, 2nd Iclandic volcano has just had 19 earthquakes

I'm going to Twitter/Facebook this just so I look clever when it blows - I hope you know what you're talking about! -
So it's ok to make remarks which imply derogatory connotations towards these people - you just have to make sure you use the right words when doing so?

This is the big one, right? -
What's wrong with her face? I don't see how anyone can really criticise though. If I was a top level pro-footballer I'd be tucking into floonge galore at every opportunity and it's hard to tell how old a slapper is.

Does the monkey chicken petting zoo look feasible?

I think Crab Lungs paints a slightly utopian picture. Yes, Thailand is awesome and most of the people are very friendly. My mate got a right kicking in Bangkok though from a mob of locals (albeit he was being a ****) and another one saw a bouncer in a club armed with a sword take someone's hand off (although admittedly this was not in a touristy area). So it's not all smiles and open legs (but 99.9% is)!

If we lose six and draw ten (and win the rest) that would give us 100 points. I think that is achievable and therefore, with a couple of ****-ups factored in, I would hope for at least 90 points.

I like it.

Fair play Saint Bobby.

Their reporting of the whole affair has been pretty shoddy IMO. Articles are often littered with inaccuracies. That article implies that HMRC only has one ground of appeal, namely the voting rights it was given, when we all know it has other grounds as well.

A few days ago he was very confident that it would be heard in July and that they would win. Now he's fairly confident that it will be in the first few days of August. I wonder why he bothers really.

There's a point of learning here folks: If someone ever shows you to be incontrovertibly wrong and made to look stupid, what you should do is acknowledge this and maybe offer a bit of humility. If you attempt to persist with the line that you were actually right you will only look like an ever bigger muppet than you already did. There endeth today's lesson.

@ Alpine again and again and again.... What a truly bizare person.

My tuppence worth... Here's a bit of a curveball - I think everyone, without exception, who I have ever met who has been to Buenos Aires reckons it's just about the best city they've been to. Not quite sure why but everylone loves it! Something I do know about is Europe. If you have less than a month and a fairly tight budget this is definitely your best bet IMO. Somewhere like South East Asia can be done very cheaply when you're there (and is brilliant!) but you might be looking at around £500+ in flights etc. If you can afford it, go but.. on the other hand you can usually book a one way flight to somewhere in Europe that you would want to go to and a flight back from somewhere else that you would want to go to for around £100 in total and then make the dots join! As others have said, Germany is a great bet. Friendly people, lovely weather in the south in the summer etc... From there you can head east to Czech / Poland / Bulgaria / Romania / Greece then loop round, you could head south through Austria, Hungary (Budapest is cool), Slovenia, Croatia... you should certainly aim to take in some of Italy and, in particular, Rome IMO. It is hot, touristy and the locals love to rip you off but is just an incredible place. You really want, IMO, a mix of city destinations, coastal destinations and some mountain/lake scenery. Something like Munich, Salzburg, Prague, Krakow (for Auschwitz), Budapest then down to the mediterranean coast stopping off at wherever takes your fancy (some beautiful lakes in Slovenia) then across to Italy (and southern France, Spain etc if you have time) could be done pretty comfortably in a month. Train travel round Europe is realiable and generally comfortable on the big intercity routes. Unsurprisingly it is also usually much cheaper than here. Hostels in Europe are usually clean, fun and good value and a geat way of meeting other travellers (keep an eye out for American, Dutch, German and Australilan girls, in particular ). You won't get luxury but you will rarely stay in somewhere that feels dirty or unpleasant provided you follow reccommendations on the main hostel websites. A decent hostel should cost around 15-20 Euro per night in Germany/Italy, maybe cheaper elsewhere. I also reccommend organised "beer tours" that run in most of the popular destination cities (typically by Australians/Americans) as some of the better bars are pretty hard to find in many European cities. A final point on travel in Europe - think carefully before shelling out upfront on an Interail pass. Often the savings will be minimal, if any, and you may lose some flexibility around where you can go. Sure, it's not as adventurous as China etc but if you're going to do something like that you will probably want to do it more time and justice. Europe gives you the flexibility to see a bunch of countries on a shorter timescale.

"'We had a chat and he told me the plans for the club. It sounded good and I want to be a part of it." Not the brightest though.

I have no idea what you mean.

I would go berserk if this happens. Well, maybe not but he would blow League One apart. Yeah, I probably would go berserk actually.
