The 'change over' never happened. HTH

Heart playing a song that IMO sounds better live than on the album

"Keep your friends close and your enemies closer".

Therefore, all those male suitors such as the Earls of Leicester & Essex and the Kings of Spain & Sweden were going to have a nasty surprise if they had ever struck lucky ?

Watch out Verbal, I think you may have pulled.

Why do the IMF, Mervyn King, and many leading city economists like Albert Edwards think it's a bad idea ? That all it is doing is fuelling a new house price bubble that, should it fail, will lead to the taxpayer ( as underwriters of the loans ) having to pick up the tab. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/personalfinance/borrowing/mortgages/10074452/IMF-warns-on-dangers-of-Help-to-Buy-mortgage-scheme.html http://www.irishtimes.com/business/london-briefing-osborne-savaged-over-moronic-help-to-buy-scheme-1.1416951

Having received one of these requests I checked the other members of Glasgow's extended "forum family", it seems to include every banned user currently registered. What is the link between befriending Big G and being banned ?

That's 2 more than Citeh, Stoke, and Chelski combined - and more minutes that the U-21s of all but 2 of our rivals.

One season, 2 admins, and about 4 owners !

I tried following the link in the BBC article but couldn't find what they are referencing - I assume that if it can be found it would have the details team by team. I would have also thought that the Beeb might have done a bit of positive research to balance the naming and shaming of the five teams.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/22687663 "English under-21s made up 2.28% of the total minutes played in 2012-13 with Manchester City, Chelsea, Swansea, Stoke and Wigan failing to field an English player under 21 all season." At least Saints did their bit.

Yep, we're all in it together http://www.guardian.co.uk/business/2013/jun/04/home-retail-group-terry-duddy-pay-rise http://www.guardian.co.uk/business/2013/mar/27/centrica-16m-gas-price-rise http://www.ucu.org.uk/index.cfm?articleid=6568 http://www.thetimes.co.uk/tto/business/economics/article3775830.ece

Key word highlighted.

Just open your minds for a second and think about what sort of world we are living in if the conspiracy theorists are right.

It sounds a wonderful idea when the rigs are hundreds of miles away, but when they're on your doorstep it's a different matter. :(

8 for me.

So, back to the OP : No. HTH.

What age would you have to have attained to qualify as a 'fogie' ? ( Says he being older than many who have already posted on this thread ). Maybe we could also open a thread over on 'General Sports' where HCC can be discussed in terms of Andy Roberts, Gordon Greenidge, and Barry Richards.

I find that to be a common fault with modern 'blockbusters', and suspect it's as much to do with the drive to use 3D wherever possible as any issue with a specific film.

IMO you don't have a timeline that diverges from the point at which Nero's ship passes through the blackhole - you have 2 almost parallel timelines that diverged earlier, and ran roughly along the same lines with minor deviations. The point about Kirk's birth shows that the appearance of Nero is not the point at which this separation occurs. This can therefore also account for changes to the relative timelines of the main protaganists of Into Darkness, who meet in TOS in SD2267, but Into Darkness starts on SD2259.55.

Did it ? Whilst the dates of his birth are the same, in TOS Kirk is born on Earth in Iowa, in the reboot his mother is already in labour on the USS Kelvin in deep space, just as Nero's ship appears.

WRT Into Darkness - I think the only safe way to approach the franchise is to remember that this is a parallel timeline, rooted in the period before TOS, therefore any preconceptions derived from preceding productions are based on events that might never have happened, or at least not in the same way, in this universe. The disappointment for me was JJ just seemed obsessed with inserting as many points of homage to TREK 2 as possible. Notwithstanding, as a kick-ass sci-fi effects films, it is very good.
