http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-20795217 "UK retail sales failed to grow in November, adding to fears that consumers are reining in spending ahead of Christmas. Sales volumes were flat in November compared with October, the Office for National Statistics (ONS) said. They had been expected to bounce back after October's shock 0.8% fall." Q) what would be the impact on the UK if the US economy falls off it's 'cliff' ?

It's a bit rich when politicians complain about somebody else lying. Mitchell admits swearing at the Police, which for you or I would probably be an arrestable offence, so the original point at issue remains valid. I wonder if the officer who sent the text did his probation in South Yorkshire.

One of the junior techies here was out on the office pub crawl on Friday and used the chat up line "So do you believe the moon landings really happened ?". He had a long conversation with the girl, who subscribed to the 'faked' line of argument, but when he asked for her number she said she already had a boyfriend

Only because I let you -
It's not at all bad considering they developed it in situ. The East stand is a bit strange from the outside as it backs up onto the terraced house. ( And unlike my current location, Bloomfield Road, they do actually have 4 proper stands ).

I think the season ends at the final whistle of the last match played, therefore after the last playoff final. It can be found in the FL rules.

Did anybody see that other space documentary the other week ? I think it was called Capricorn One.

1) They have to back to court in Feb for permission to extend the administration, as it cannot run beyond 12 months from the original date ( Feb 2012 ) without court approval 2) If they do survive to the end of this season then get sold in the summer, they will start the next season on -10.

The Government says that by specifically excluding the church from this legislation, this scenario cannot happen. Presumably as the Church has no option of 'in' or 'out' it cannot discriminate. ( Then again - politician's promises....).
-
The Government Minister responsible for this bill was on R4 news this evening and said that although what is being proposed is a 'marriage', there will be no definition or acceptance of 'consumation' or 'adultery' in relation to this legislation. It strikes me that this has not really been thought through; there are far too many caveats and special exemptions in this dog's breakfast of an idea. Should just stick with Civil Partnerships.

Cameron is playing games; he cannot find time to try to pass legislaton for a 'marriage tax break', which was in the Tory manifesto, but can find time for this idea, which was not. It is also reasonably clear that if this is brought before the Commons it will pass because Labour and the LibDems will whip the vote - so he'll get it through despite Tory opposition. I also find it interesting that Peter Tatchell says that this idea is discriminatory against heterosexual couples, as they are legally barred from participating in a Civil Partnership.

The alternative in England is to not vote at all - or choose between UKIP, BNP, the Greens, Respect, or the Monster Raving Loonies - come to think of it I can see a surge in voting for the MRLP coming on, they make as much sense as the mainstream muddlers.
