  1. To take place over the next 6 years, via an early retirement program, as the company restructures so as to focus on hybrid and electric vehicles, which in itself is expected to create 2000 new jobs.
  2. Would you want Duncan Ferguson slagging you off in the dressing room because you hadn't given 100% ?
  3. Money talks.
  4. More from the "caring party"; A Tory candidate has been filmed telling a hustings event that people with learning disabilities should be paid less than minimum wage as ‘they don’t understand money’.

  5. The document may have been leaked to / hacked by the Russians, but that doesn't make it false.
  6. I didn't watch the debate, so can anybody who did tell me if BoJo repeated the Tory manifesto lie about having begun the building of 40 more hospitals ?
  7. Middle
  8. The leaflet from the Brexit Party arrived today. To avoid contamination as she disposed of it my wife wore oven gloves and handled the leaflet with a pair of tongs.
  9. Who do people think will be the more obnoxious and ovebearing; Brexiteers if we finally leave the EU, or Scousers if Liverpool win the Premier League ?
  10. Because he promises he will "get Brexit done" and that is all that matters, as it is the answer to every question he is asked, and the solution to every problem the country is facing.
  11. Government policy looks like barring Huawei from future UK infrastructure projects, whilst BoJo uses one of their mobile phones.
  12. extract
  13. Had Saints on my laptop whilst my son watched Villa/Chelsea on the FireStick; PC picture was perfect all game, the stick wasn't quite as clear a picture and stuttered for the last couple of minutes.
  14. If Cedric posessed half a football brain he would be far more effective. Why can't we have, just for once, a nice comfortabler 4-0 ?
  15. I remember Alvin Kallicharan bowling towards the end of a drawn test and doing an impression of BW - he started his run up on the pavillion steps, and ran in like a doglegged golf fairway.
  16. That second graph in particular shows how easy it is to distort things by picking an entirely inappropriate axis. 1.173 climbing to 1.176 against a y-axis starting at zero wouldn't look much at all.
  17. The Oozlum Bird of arguments. Perhaps we should all just refer to the Bible, and rely on the unadulterated word of God for everything.
  18. chukka
  19. There is none so blind.......
  20. Maybe he should stay away from Parisian underpasses for a while.
  21. Much like Joe Denly in NZ.
  22. What do you expect ? He did his job in the Falklands conflict, but otherwise he is just another privileged individual living a life thst insulates him from reality, and is surrounded by sycophants who tell him everything he does is wonderful.
  23. I have similar qualms over His Dark Materials, where they have set it in the present day, and have added in large portions of storyline that never existed in the original trilogy ( other than as events referred to as having happened in the past ). ( eg Lord Boreal's storyline - who should be a sixty-something white man ). And when they did the recent version of the ABC Murders, they mucked about unecessarily with Poirot's back story, and killed off Inspector Japp before it even got going. Why do they have to reinvent established stories just to show how clever they are, or to impose modern social sensibilities on material written well before they emerged. If they want to show how smart and 'aware' they are, they should try creating something original.
  24. If somebody at the start of the season had offered us to be 6 points behind Man Utd after 14 matches, who would have taken it ?
  25. Could you have done the same with Anders Breivik ? Is your assertion that the terrorist had to be the one that looked like a muslim ? Good job there weren't any Brazilian plumbers around, considering Cressida D1ck is in charge of the Met.
