Now you are trying to wriggle out of what you initially said! How funny! Your initial position was that as fans we have the right to tell the owner of the club how much he pays his directors. We don't. Don't try and change tack and pretend you were on about good client relations. It was clear what you meant. I reiterate: we are fans, we 'own' the club in an emotional way, in a heritage way and without us the club would not be but that does not mean we have any right to dictate how the club is run at the top level. Which includes directors salaries. Just because you shop at Tescos doesn't mean you can demand that the directors are paid what you want them paid. Only shareholders have that right. And none of us fans is a shareholder of SFC. Live with it.

Why do you assume I tell my customers how much I pay myself? What daft idiotic thinking is this! I tell my customers what I can do for them, they like what I have to offer, I tell them the price, they agree. I provide the service. They pay. How much money I draw out of the business is no one's business but mine! Honestly, some people are pathetic. Thinking it is any of their business how much the club pays its employees. It is our club, but their business.

do you mean the same Wikipedia which had John Arne Riise as one of ours ..... until it was changed to Fulham?

Its michael owen

I run my own limited company. I am the only shareholder. If any of you tell me that you have the right to set how much I pay myself I'll punch you on the nose. End of discussion.

So you believe that there is an infinite amount of resources on planet Earth? It is this kind of thinking which is way, way out of date. The truth is the complete opposite. The resources we have available are finite. And the laws of thermodynamics are non-negotiable. 'Economists' (those same people who pointedly missed the screaming warning signs before the credit crunch) who believe in infinite growth base their assertions on only 150 years of historical evidence. Coincidentally, the period of time we have been using fossil fuels. If these 'economists' had dared to take a much further look back at human history they would have appreciated that things are very different to the cosy reality they believe.

no. all my own.

Guinness in Ireland is delightful. The trick is to find a pub which sells a lot of it. I can drink the stuff till the cows come home when I am in Belfast.

Any lager over 4%. Except on the continent where they know how to make it properly. Not too keen on cider.

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/economics/8652170/UK-borrowing-climbs-in-June.html Despite all the rhetoric and shouting the government is actually not cutting anything. The country borrowed more in June than last June. The growth in GDP figures are soon to be released and will be well below the figures used in the Treasury's forecasts. Therefore the debt pile will continue to rack up. The problem is that growth is dead but our debt-based monetary system and fractional-reserve banking system require infinite exponential growth. It is baked into the mathematics of debt-based money. Politicians of all stripes (with few exceptions) are just lemmings bleating on about the need to return to 'strong sustainable growth'. Never mind that nothing in nature, no species, no eco-system grows for ever. With the end of cheap abundant energy aggregate net-of-inflation growth in GDP is over. So all the government's forecasts are just a load of horse manure. Infinite growth on a finite planet is impossible. We need a new economic paradigm based on true sustainability and much less consumption. In the developed world we have mastered the following: 1. We have the resources and know-how to produce enough food and clean water for the entire population. 2. We have built our domestic shelters and have the skills and resources to maintain them. 3. We have - many years ago - discovered cures for the worst diseases and we have the ability to prolong human life now well into the 80s 4. We long ago mastered the art of textile manufacture - no one is without a coat in winter. So, given all these plainly evident facts ask yourself why it is that we are still busting a gut for 45+ hours on average each week (not including commuting time) working? And how is it that now a household needs both adults to work full time - and even then it is sometimes not enough? Why all this extra 'busy-ness'? I contend that in the new economic paradigm I espouse above we should be working less not more. And sharing the necessary jobs timewise so we can spend more time with our families and engaging in non-consumptive pursuits such as the arts, music, poetry and sport. All this debt, debt, debt! No one has a frickin clue how to 'solve' it. How about we all stop running around like headless, leaderless chickens and take stock of where we actually are. Never before has a civilization been as comfortable as ours. Never before has an entire population been fed by only 3% of the workforce (albeit with significant 'fossil fuel' slaves in the form of tractors etc). Time to shake of the growth obsession we justifiably needed in the 20th century. There is no doubt that 99% of the people of this country are better off now than in 1911. But now we need a different way of going about things. A different economics. One fit for the 21st century.

what's an 'empty' carb?

Which one do you reckon is the chic French girl and which one is the English chav? Just watched Downton Abbey. Back then the sartorial elegance of the women and maids was fantastic. Nowadays English girls just throw anything on and look crap. There are exceptions, but in France they almost all take care over how they dress.

Burley is back in the building.

Parasite. You're one of these people who just take-take-take aren't you?

what, don't eat pasta? how come?

std dev?

I don't know. I just get comfy and once I finished depositing I keep procrastinating about the wiping bit. Eventually my feet go numb and I know it is time to leave.

Not true. Tescos own label food is utter, utter, utter carp. I bought some of their mince a year ago and it was inedible. Sainsburys own label food is better quality, no doubt about it. Tescos have cut so much to the bone that the product is just puke.

Another one? feking hell, heads will roll. Simple as that, Cortese sort this out. Get on the bus.

I have become aware that I need to take more care of how I spend my time. One place I tend to spend too much time is in the bog. On average I spend a good 15 minutes and I don't suffer from constipation. 15 minutes per day * 365 = almost 4 days a year sitting on the bog. This is appears to be a huge waste of time. Over the next 30 years that would mean a third of a year on the pan. Is my routine normal? How long do you take on the pan per day?

what do you do that requires you get up at such an un-Godly hour? Even your cat is still sleeping for pities sake! More kitten, being woken so abruptly.

its the walkers ready salted. They say they now only use sunflower oil to cook them, shouldn't mean they are low fat?

the dried stuff.

I am being quite serious. I want to know. Not asking for speculation or heresay, just are there any genuinely openly gay players? If a welsh rugby player can come out why not a footballer?

Are there any openly gay professional footballers playing in England at the moment? There was that welsh rugby player who came out the other day, just wondered if any footballers had plucked up the courage. Statistically there must be a few across all divisions.
