The only direct experience we've had was the ERM, and that was an unmitigated disaster. If the weaker economic countries left the euro it would keep it trucking on for a while longer, but imho that would just be delaying the inevitable, unless France and Germany actually decided to form a separate country with a single government and pick who to invite into it. I dont see how else it could work.

The eurozone wont "go bust". The finance is still there, its just a question of who has the money and in what form. Remember the Lamont speech the day before we baled out of the ERM? "The ERM is at the core of our economic policy, and we will take whatever measures are necessary to stay in it......" Next day we're out of it and back to a floating pound, and thats exactly when our economy started to pick up. The eurozone is the same problem on a european scale, once Greece, Italy, probably Spain and possibly Ireland are out of it they will start seeing decent growth and the general economy will improve. The Germans and French wont have this idiotic self-inflicted millstone round their necks anymore so they will start growing as well. Merkel and sarko have already admitted as much when they started talking about Greece having to leave the euro, six weeks ago there was "no exit mechanism....."

Interesting that Susan Watts picked the placebo whan asked which day she thought she'd been given the drug. Good article tho.

Dear Christ, no. Stop right there, that prospect doesnt even bear thinking about.

Edited it for you, that was clearly a typo.

Poyet can say whatever he likes. I wont be listening....

eh? I thought it was script only. Plus it bungs you up something chronic, if you do take it get some strong laxatives at the same time.

What was that george formby song? "I'm hanging from a lamppost on the corner of the street...."

I'm guessing "WRISTS'R'US".

Its about time. He's been a standing joke for years now, the hair-transplanted teenager-sh*gging ancient pervert. Why the italians have tolerated him for this long is beyond me.

Not the best team, but theres no point comparing a second-division side to the top flight outfits we had before. Top flight players wont sign for a lower division team unless theres a reason for it, ie pay (which unsettles the ship) or that they are a liability. I remain stunned by the quality of football we are producing at the moment. In my 50 years on this planet I cannot remember feeling so positive about the club and its direction.

This drives me up the f*cking wall. Never really thought much about until one time in the post office, I used to live in shirley warren, waiting to get some stamps and the twenty-something woman in front of me had four kids with her. She got to the cashier and drew about £80 in family allowance, or whatever its called nowadays, when the cashier handed over the cash she pushed most of it back and said "...and 50 one-pound scratchcards." Words fail me.

Call Conrad Murray for advice. He knows all about painkillers, and seems trustworthy.

On BBC now. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-15646536 Not before time, imho

Yep, rest in peace Joe. At least you didnt resort to flogging low-fat grilling machines.....

Could have been worse. You could have been gutted.

chili?

Well it cant have been the missionary position because missionaries hadnt been invented then. I imagine it would have been the old favourite, knock 'em out and bang them from whatever angle they're lying at. In fact, that still works for me.

My point exactly. Well said, that man.

+1, and I well remember that spine tingling moment when his second went in but tbh that was a bit of a one-off. The NPC is a different prospect to L1. I imagine Nigel thought he could bring him on as a player, but that it hasnt really worked, why else would he not be getting on the pitch? After all, NA signed him and knew him well already.

Out of interest hamster, have you been drinking tonight?

Amusingly, I just went googling for that picture and searched for "embarrassing deaths". This link came up, I know not why... http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2026745/Ipswich-2-Southampton-5-Rickie-Lambert-Adam-Lallana-steer-Saints-Championship-summit.html If anyone manages to find the italian farmer who died literally choking the chicken, please pmail

I didnt say he wasnt.

Its a showbiz thing. Way to go, Conrad Murray!! GWF
