bungle

If all of your posts where this well presented (well, there are a few silly generalisations still, but m3h) then I don't think as many people would get on your back. I just hope you continue to refrain from the ridiculous childish name calling and ridiculous exaggerations of many of your previous posts. The debate would be much more interesting then.

O2. Ner.

Yes, I am really, really easily offended.

I never got a role in a nativity play (either that or it clearly wasn't memorable). However in First School I once got to play the role of a mad professor, and got to wear a bright orange curly wig for my troubles.

1) It's only 25,000 I think. 2) A rugby league team plays there. 3) Rugby league international games also often get played there.

Hey, I'd pay a hell of a lot more than £750 to be able to sit in the "Fantastic Media Lower Stand". What an honour that would be. Fantastic, some would say.

You are kind of like the Tory front bench in this economic downturn: you seem to suggest SFC should do nothing about it's financial situation.

This would not mean Pearce is cup tied. This would mean that there is a clause in the loan agreement not allowing him to play in cup games. I also seriously doubt there is a clause anyway.

That would not mean he is cup tied. That would mean that in the loan agreement he is not able to play in cup games.

Please explain how Pearce could possibly be cup tied.

Maybe I just assumed it should have one. Very odd though. Have to say, though, I am not a fan of sofas in pubs.

I'd say an M&S Sarnie probably qualifies as food.

It's December therefore everyone is hungover and asleep at their desk.

There were a few sofas weren't there? There was one in a weird looking cubby hole at the back of the pub. Looked like it had a sliding door so you could be shut in. Interesting.

As long as Jan has the bottle to stick to 4-2-1-2-1 and keep the faith then I will be happy. I would go with: ----------Davis James Pearce Perry Skacel ----Schneiderlin Cork ----------Euell Lallana----------BWP ----------DMG Subs: Paterson, Forecast, Lancashire, Wotton, Mills

Didn't realise you'd be so happy about an Vietnamese immigrant becoming a congressman. Seems to conflict with all of your other views, ever.

Er, what?

I don't see any hope of Labour doing it. The Tories have now promised high speed rail, but the rest of their package lacks depth. It terms of votes: I would hazard a guess that the vast majority of people in the UK think that the rail service is underfunded, and the branch lines should never have closed. I think they would like is an affordable, reliable network that could get them from A to B. The UK used to have a proud railway network, one of the best (if not the best) in the world. Sadly now it is a shambles. So, yes, I think people would want this if it was a single choice, I am comfortable with that. If you want to go into a debate about how our electoral system is a shambles, how the media enhance 2-party politics at every turn, and how I think many more people would vote for a new direction (not neccessarily Lib Dem, btw), if they felt secure that it would not just result in whichever one of Labour/Tory they detest more getting in, then that is really a seperate debate.

If you want to make that argument, then in fact they've done it totally the wrong way round. Yes, I'm pleased that poor performed operators have lost their franchise (although how Virgin lost the Cross Country franchise I'm not sure), but what we need to see first is real investment in improving the network, and then asking more from the operators. We also need to give them longer franchises (say 15 years) to give them an incentive to invest. At the moment the franchises are so short that that incentive just isn't there.

Again, if you bothered to read what was written I did put "all this" not "parts of this".

Don't be so obtuse. No problem is solved by a one off solution. However, a massive programme of electrifying the lines across the country, re-opening branch lines and building national high speed rail links, will start us off on the right track. You'll also notice that the government awards the franchises to the railway companies, so when they come up for tender the government can stipulate what is required to win that franchise (frequency of trains, improvement in rolling stock etc), and should act accordingly and also remove failing operators. Do I think the current government is going to do all this....nope.

In this instance, no. Since Railtrack went bust the company that owns the track, Network Rail, is a nationalised company.

Let's not forget Davis, Davies, Delap, Telfer, Alan Bennett.....

Whiskey.

Instead of penalising legal migrants, the Government would be much better off doing something about illegal immigration.
