  1. Good game of football. All to play for.
  2. Come On!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  3. FFS, just as we may have scored the link scrambled.
  4. bialkowski is f/cking sh/t.
  5. link 8 is good.
  6. The French were responsible for the Industrial revolution as our wars with them drove the necessity. This enabled the our finest days of Empire!
  7. Link 6 is better as it can be expanded and wired via hdmi to a big screen...
  8. Link 4 looks good. 1,2,3 are sh/t. Not tried those past link 4.
  9. You might get it for under 200 quid (as it's a local pick up only)... Could be a good buy. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Original-19th-Century-Walnut-Card-Table-/220907628813?pt=UK_Antiques_AntiqueFurniture_SM&hash=item336f1ee90d I always filter down to free p+P and within a 25/10 mile radius. That is where you can get the steals. Also check out buy it now (newly listed) items as if you are lucky (and I have been) you can also take advantage of sellers who are clueless. For e.g i once bought a george iii heavy gauge solid silver creamer for 10 quid - it was worth over 100 quid.
  10. Visit a junk/second hand/antique shop. I hate sterile chain stores with a passion. Everything is mass produced CRAP made in China. I would recommend a nice pair of victorian diamond jubilee brass candle sticks. They look magnificent once polished up. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Brass-Candle-Sticks-Candle-Holders-Diamonds-Victorian-Pushups-Ornaments-/120815304883?pt=UK_Antiques_DecorativeAntiques_Collectables_EH&hash=item1c212740b3 (you'll probably have to pay 40 quid, but you can get cheaper if you do the leg work)
  11. I would NEVER buy from China or Hong Kong seller. 99% of ebayers wouldn't. You've learnt the hard way i'm afraid.
  12. Sorry to digress but put SKY News on. They are going to the champsionship leaders Southampton after the break....
  13. No. I believe all the sh/t I post. The reason for this is that myself, and all Eurosceptics, have consistently been proved right. The real world versus "Wades World".
  14. A couple of years ago I started collecting silver as it was a good buy what with the global financial turmoil, but i've found that everyone is at it now and i'm not prepared to pay the prices for stuff which I don't value at that price (despite the rise in the spot price). So now i've moved into quality antique brass and copper. Nobody wants it at the minute (although from my dealer contacts i've heard that demand is now curving back up). With a lot of the antique brass and copper having been melted for scrap in recent times it'll make what's left more sought after if and WHEN the look comes back into vogue. My main interest is in marked pieces (which can be researched and dated), door knockers, copper kettles, candle sticks (really like victorian diamond jubilee ones - they are superb and cheap as chips - 20 -30 quid for a good 12 inch pair in good condition), and saucepans (only marked and with lids though!). What do you think is a good buy?
  15. I thought we'd falter against Hull but we didn't. KTF.
  16. Do you have a pension?
  17. China runs the world. David Niven (or possibly Napoleon) once said "Let China sleep for when she wakes the world will tremble". (one of my favourite fims) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AayYzeW4E3o
  18. The Centralisation of power C E C talks about is typical for a widely Socialist Europe. Socialism is in the European psyche', wheras Britain is and always has been an Isle with a Conservative inclination. Socialism is a failed philosphy so it is ludicrous to embark on a centralised course. What the Germans are doing is building the EUSR.
  19. http://www.firstrowsports.tv/watch/96942/1/watch-southampton-fc-vs-blackpool-fc.html This should work, but if anyone has additional options please post here.
  20. Steve Grant was bumming Gary Speed?
  21. I don't eat food produced from a council house.
  22. Dave has now sealed his very own chapter...
  23. On the contrary, whilst we retain our sovereignty we will not be slaves. have some pride in our great country. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ggdudSsR4BM
  24. All the rhetoric about a cataclysm should the Euro be dropped by 5 or 6 nations is utter nonsense. It is just the medicine that the world needs. If the indebted southern European states are allowed to rebalance with a weak currency to fuel growth we will benefit. On the other hand the Germans would see a strengthenng of the Euro and that would be detrimental to their exports. That is why the Germans are so desperate for THEIR Euro to survive. It gives them a false exchange rate that benefits them.
  25. So what. All sitting at the top table means is kowtowing to the Germans and the French. They want a European superstate and they are not going to take no for an answer. Our only choice is IN or OUT.
