Window Cleaner

Totally pointless anyway. For a poster to get onto an ignore list he needs to p*ss you off somewhat, to do that he(or she) will probably be abrasive,self opinionated or controversial,so someone will always quote the posts when replying and you get to see them anyway.

You pays your money and takes your choice.He who pays the piper calls the tune etc etc etc. Can't see any problem myself.

None too sure if you could play Sigurdsson and Lallana in the same side though, similar roles?

Whereas our problem is that the cost of maintaining the layabouts in their life of luxury is totally financed by those in employment thus making our competitvity inexistent. The minimum salary here costs an employer somewhere north of £12 an hour and that's a lot of money to pay for a bog cleaner or a counter assistant at McDonalds. Just so that you understand the enormity of the drag of these people on the employed.For a person on minimum wage (151.67 hours at 9.22 euros an hour per month) before income tax the employee actually gets to take home about 1042 euros (ie 7 euros an hour) and the total cost to the employer is about 1900/2000 euros.So at the end of the day the worker gets about half of what he costs his employer,the rest is just snaffled up in "social charges" don't forget this is PRE-TAX. A France without it's punitive "social charges" could create more jobs than it could fill because each job costs roughly twice the take home pay(pre income tax) that the worker receives.We are paying the Mitterand years and will be for a long time to come.

Damn slippery those little 20p pieces.Now a nice crisp 10 bob note or a giant half-crown coin is far more difficult to lose. Always felt safe with a half-crown in my pocket personally.

Who cares, he's a football manager,getting sacked is an occupational hazard. Hull didn't get any better under Barmby, even slid down the table a bit I think,no results= no job it's a fact of life in football.

Too true ART,those outside of France just do not realise just how much of the populace exist for hand-outs and that anyone who tries to stem that flow because financing them has become impossible has about a zero percent charge of re-election. Where else in our world can you make as much from staying at home with 5 kids than you can by doing an honest day's work.

If neither of them can produce a better display than Cardiff they might as well save everbodies time and money and stay at home.Yesterday's game was a no contest,fortunately for us West Ham had a spell when they couldn't get a home win for love nor money. Then again if either of us had been able to gain a home win against Reading it would be them in the play-offs. Top 3 should go up if there's more than a 10 point margin between 3rd and 4th.

Thought she'd be more of a Pompey supporter really, 6 fingers on one hand, big ugly mole and 2 sisters sh@gging the same bloke definitely Pompey.

My my, what a surprise there can be no sport more transparent in it's promotional efforts than boxing.Should be banned anyway.

I don't think many realise just how good you have to be to become an even moderately successful footballer nowadays.I'd wager that many of the "stars" of the past wouldn't even get a game in League 2 nowadays.

That would be strange,the trip was openly spoken of by players in press interviews so why cancel it because of the Echo. Now if the Echo were planning on sending reporters or photographers to get some Vegas material to print,that I could see might cause a problem. Trip wasn't cancelled last year and everybody knew about it in advance, including the Echo I presume.

Done deal, Hoffenheim,Hamburg or Leverkeusen or somewhere like that.

pretty unimpressive this afternoon.

Jeez Cardiff are awful,how did they make the play-offs with that defence.

Wait until the London markets get on to the case tomorrow

Well the article you read is obviously a bit approximative.French politics is by far more complicated than most other nations' because of the hefty extreme votes.Where else do the Front National get nearly 20% or the Hard Line Left nigh on 15%? Hollande knows he doesn't have any room to manoeuvre,he'll probably bring back the lowest possible retirement age to 60 if you've got 41 and a half years paid up pension rights on the counter anyway.You can retire at 60 now if you meet the right conditions so that won't cost much,cheap votes obtained from an ignorant electorat.The 60000 educational nationale personnel hike is over 5 years and it's not just teachers.There will be many civil servants converted from other obsolete roles to make up the numbers. Hollande will make a right old mess because the loonie left will make sure of it.The French voted for him because those that did want free hand-outs and state aided jobs. What you have to remember is that up to just under 1 year ago the Socialist candidate was the now disgraced sex maniac Strauss-Kahn, Hollande is just a poor substitute because the rest of them are too far to the left to gain popular support. What Hollande can achieve will depend very much on the upcoming legislative elections.If there's a big protest vote to the National Front or even to the rampant Communist causes then the country will become ungovernable.Marine Le Pen is counting on this to obtain parliamentary representation again.Given the state of the voting in the South and North she may well get anywhere up to 20 seats. Then there's Melenchon,Hollande's policies will be too soft for him, he wants all out appropriation of any salary over 300,000 euros a year.The Hollande gouvernment will have to pander to the Greens,60 winnable seats must be allotted to them, it's going to be a right old mess.Won't make any difference to us though except that we might get to pay a bit more tax.

Probably just not aquainted with the time when you could say whatever you wanted, it was your opinion and nothing else. Enoch Powell would be in gaol on a permanent basis nowadays.

Used to go there a lot as well, lived in Mijas for about 8 months a long time ago, used to hang in Duke's a lot,grabbed an awful lot of totty in there.Think Duke may have retired now though, think he still lives around Banus.

So you are,or are related to Jack Cork??

Greek goddess of retribution is he?

[quote=Glasgow_Saint;1360938 Window cleaner is like a dad to me Well you'd best shape up then,get a Ph D by the end of the afternoon or I'll disown you.

Think what you like, I would be absolutely horrified to see Ramsey in a Saint's shirt.Totally overated.

absolute garbage, Morgan and Corky are both far better players already.The number of errors that Ramsey commits is incredible, don't know why Wenger persists with him, well I do actually, they always have so many long term injuries (like Diaby and Wilshere) that he doesn't have much choice.

Think we're more likely to go 'continental' myself. If we'd have wanted those players we'd have acquired them by now.
