overrated

It'll be interesting how Ollie restructures the team, as to be honest, this is a bit of an unexpected outcome, and the squad is weak, even when measured against other previously promoted 'minnows' such as Burnley. He's got Charlie Adam, who is likely to develop into a 'proper' Premiership player, and Brett, who actually has Prem experience, ( though he is slower now as his injuries have taken their toll, and he struggles to last more than 60 minutes ). But the loanees, such as DJ Cambell, Dobbie, and Coleman will go back, ( although I can see Everton loaning Coleman back to them next season ). Also, players such as Ben Burgess and Euell are patently not up to scratch. Still, it will be a real rollercoaster season, and there's nowhere better for rollercoasters than Blackpool ! They have apparently already sold out the planned allocation of season tickets, on the expectation of a Wembley win !

I shall have to be extra quiet at work on Monday, assuming they don't pull sickies with their hangovers.

Love the back of the T-shirts - "Bye Bye Preston"

Can afford to finish the stadium now :-)

Seasiders !!!!!!!!!

I think Pope John Paul II also was, and Luciano Pavarotti certainly was.

I thought "It was The Sun that won it".

Have to admit, I have just read it and was pleasantly surprised - must be the LD influence ;-)

The whole election was about spin and image, the policies of all 3 parties came a very poor second.

There are folks up here still at war with the House of York, so retaining a loathing for Maggie is very small beer.

Dune / Stanley ; Dianne Abbot said in a R4 interview at 07:55 that she IS standing !

I get the impression that all changes of Government involve such 'jokes' - the best one has to be the ( possibly apocryphal ) Clinton staff removing all the Ws from the keyboards when George Bush Jr took over the White House.

It seems he was only following historical procedent; "The letter recalls a similar note left by Tory Reginald Maudling to his Labour successor James Callaghan in 1964: "Good luck, old **** ... Sorry to leave it in such a mess."" [ From the Grauniad ]

Because it doesn't match their agenda, which is derived from what they read in the Daily Hail.

Don't they sell those in Anne Summers ?

StG, could you do me a favour - look up and publish on here the US national debt, ta Here's a clue http://www.brillig.com/debt_clock/ According to that, as of now, YOU owe over US$41,900. Edit: and as for working with a budget deficit, this is what they are doing on your side of the pond; (Reuters) - The United States posted an $82.69 billion deficit in April, nearly four times the $20.91 billion shortfall registered in April 2009 and the largest on record for that month, the Treasury Department said on Wednesday. "White House budget director Peter Orszag told Reuters Insider in an interview on Wednesday that the United States must tackle its deficits quickly to avoid the kind of debt crisis that hit Greece." ( from http://www.reuters.com/article/idUSTRE64B53W20100512 ) What is that saying about people in glass houses ?

I can't afford to drop it, it's all I'll have left once GO gets going

Stop going off script. Remember the mantra "Labour bad - Tory good, Labour bad - Tory good,....", repeat ad nauseum ( literally )

And Maggie's cabal outsourced large chunks of the civil service IT function to Arthur Andersen, who purely by coincidence could count Edwina Currie's husband and brother-in-law amongst their senior executives. They also played a major part in the scandalous collapse of Wessex Helicopters. I am not claiming that Labour are blameless, but don't kid yourself this lot will be any better.
