  1. But you can only use 3.
  2. Other than WHU, when did we last score 2 at home ?
  3. Why do you not get a yellow card for putting your hands around an opponent's throat ?
  4. According to my birth certificate, my knees, and my lower back I am 57, according to my brain I'm 30. I do however know folk whose birthdate infers they are 30, yet whose mentality indicates they are in their dotage.
  5. There is no way that Fleetwood will ever get a fishing fleet back; the fish dock is now a marina with a discount retail outlet on one side and new housing being built on the other, the ferry terminal has been dismantled, and they have stopped dredging the river Wyre.
  6. Was Sally Jones a traitor, or do you think she would have voted to leave the EU ?
  7. I don't know if the Gallup poll that the Post reports on holds that detail, but it does say that 47% of those who view homosexuality as illegal stated that their religion was the basis for their opinion.
  8. Stupid cow got exactly what she deserved. Wonder why it's taken so long for it to be announced.
  9. According to the Washington Post, 20% of Americans feel the same way.
  10. “It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends on his not understanding it,” ( Upton Sinclair ). As well as being an advocate for the oil and mining industries, Wehrum has previously tried to use the powers of his Federal office to block California's Clean Air legislation.
  11. As the pound falls, the exchange rate favours domestic tourism. Simples. Also, why do you persist in cultivating such a boring and obnoxious persona?
  12. Does that make Tillerson one of that very rare breed - an honest politician ?
  13. Bob Corker equates the White House to an adult day care centre, and Rex Tillerson does not deny that he called POTUS a moron. Add in Mike Pence's stage managed abortive visit to the Indianapolis Colts, and it becomes more obvious that Government by Twit​ter is probably not good for PR.
  14. Born on the same day as my eldest son. I'm sure they were switched at birth. ( Notwithstanding the 240 miles between the hospitals ).
  15. Metropolitan Police metpoliceuk The incident in #ExhibitionRoad #SouthKensington earlier is not being treated as a terror-related incident. It is a road traffic collision.
  16. The main point that is intended in relation to the mention of the Bombardier tarriffs is that if the US can impose a 300% surcharge despite a trade agreement being in place, is there any point in claiming that a post-Brexit trade deal with the US will in any way work to our benefit ? Secondly, this imposition has a direct impact on the UK, and shows how little real influence we have, and are likely to maintain, over the selfish interests of a protectionist United States Department of Commerce. There has never been a direct link between the tarriffs and the Brexit vote, real or implied.
  17. If the US airlines cannot buy the aircraft, what use is there for the factory in Belfast that makes the wings ? Also, there is a lot of value placed in the concept of a post-Brexit trans-Atlantic trade deal; the US has such a deal with Canada, and this is how they act. Trump is an out and out protectionist, and the balance of power in any 'negotiations' will be heavily skewed in their favour.
  18. The US has increased the tariff on Bombardier aircraft, it is now 300%.
  19. What, like believing in a mythical all powerful entity, who will grant them a harem full of virgins for eternity if only they commit a particular form of suicide ?
  20. There is one pre-requisite for a lobotomy that may be problematical in Trump's case.
  21. How much does it cost to stop somebody posting completely ?
  22. We won't sell in January. More importantly, Liverpool won't make a bid.
  23. Thank you for the pointless history lesson, informing me of nothing I was not already aware of. You know perfectly well that I was referring to the way that the services and social functions of Catalonia are closely integrated with Spain, and trying to create a truly independent state would be a lot harder than the UK divorcing from the EU. This is as compared to Monaco, which whilst closely linked to France, has been independent and in control of it's own destiny since the Kingdom of Sardinia disolved in the mid 1800s, long before any of the modern technical and financial entanglements came into existence.
  24. There is a vast difference between a state that has been independent for centuries, and attempting to disentangle a region from it's multiplicity of interactions and obligations with a modern integrated society.
  25. It's almost Catch-22; you would have to be insane to want to own high powered automatic firearms, but if you are insane then you shouldn't be allowed to own them.
