What sanctimonious garbage. I don't know Dune and he maybe a total kartoffelnkopf - dunno - but he starts plenty of threads which turn into good (if often a tad predictable) ones, particularly in The Lounge.

I gave a bum some money "for a train" in Croatia. There were two reasons why I did this: 1) he only asked for about 10p; 2) his mates looked like they were going to stab or eat me.

What makes you think this won't affect me? Simply, the idea of giving people a cash handout for having a kid is mental IMO. I would support some sort of credit system for children's essentials for poor people (clothes, food etc.). I am happy to help pay for that as, in the long run, it might help to stop those kids becoming scrotes. What I'm not happy to pay is a subsidy to people with plenty of disposable income, purely because they managed to procreate. The current plans introduce an anomaly, clearly. Hopefully, over time this can be resolved. There are loads of anomalies in the law, but better to do some good than none.

TBF, I'm gutted. They have two cup finals this season and we probably won't have any They are leaving us for dust.

Ossie, me old second-team fan, I suggest you go on a bit of a mission. Visit some forums, see how the best wind-up merchants operate, lie-in wait, bide your time. At the moment, we all love you. Thanks for the laughs.

I've emailed the FA too. If I can play my part in the **** getting a three match ban then great!

BSF is renowned, even in the PFI world, as being unduly cumbersome.

Poletrix was next to it.

Being a ****-pit is sometimes a quality to be commended in a bar. I quite agree. Unfortunately, not this one IMO. Incidentally, the stone that The White House in Washington DC is made from was quarried on the island of Brac, just off the coast of Split, Croatia. Split is also the home of the only ever Wimbledon wild-card winner, Goran Ivanicevic. No ****.

It was indeed called Bar Centro and before that I think it was called something else... Polar? It tried to be a trendy bar but that never seemed to work for it, so it turned into a complete ****-pit. Which seems to work pretty well for it.

Yeah, Gazza's a great example of someone who didn't let off-field issues hamper them in achieving their potential.

In more ways than one.

We will never "know".

Not convinced Pardew's sacking was a bad thing in the long run!

"It's cos of them ooman rights innit mush".

It is indeed upsetting that a load of public money has been given away and that very little was demanded or achieved in return (see previous government for explanation).

Eh?

Presumably anyone to whom the answer "yes" applies who doesn't want to commit benefit fraud?

Obviously he doesn't have time for the red tape and cost of establishing a system that regulates the benefit in a more complicated way. This will apparently save £1bn each year and is quick and easy to implement and isn't going to push anyone into poverty IMO. A sensible way of trying to balance the ridiculous balance sheet he inherited. Over time, once the absurd finances have been put back on an even keel then maybe the rules can be adjusted to take account of that anomoly.

He wasn't very good on Saturday - it was the worst performance I've seen from him, I think. That said, he showed bottle, nerve and skill with the two penalties. No point dropping him IMO. We are good enough to carry him through a period of bad form; it'll be worth it when he starts firing again.

The Whitehouse FFS?! I can understand players wanting a beer after a good home win - especially when there is no match for a week. But why go to the Whitehouse on a Saturday night? Silly.

For the last time and for the benefit of our newest dinlo poster, when AFCB got promoted last year there were cheers at St Mary's; for as long as I've been going to Saints home matches an AFCB win being announced has been greated by cheers. There is no feeling there other than wanting to see our plucky near neighbours in their nice town that we like to visit occasional do well. Now, if you want to erode that by being nasty and bitter then fine but you're just throwing away goodwill, and for what? The chance of a "proper" derby in 50 years' time?

TBF we are already on a good run of form. If we beat Tranny it'll be 10 pts from 12. Top form in anyone's book.
