You have such a considered view of the world, and are so loving in your outlook, that you are an example to us all.

"Stairway to Heaven" is probably not LZ's best, IMO that accolade goes to "Kashmir" or "When the Levee Breaks", and FOTD is not the best of the Mighty Maiden, 'Hallowed Be Thy Name' or 'Montsegur' are 2 that I would personally rate higher. And as for the premise of the OP, anybody's response will probably vary day to day, depending on their mood and recollection.

Yep, just about sums you up. There was an interview on the radio this morning where what was implied is that Obama is being held to ransom by the Republicans on account of the economic failures of Dubyah, their own mouthpiece - including getting them into 2 wars, one of which is palpably unwinnable.

When my sons were playing footie on their XBOX last night, one of them was playing as AAB, and asked where was Marek Saganowski now ? On looking I found out he's playing in Greece, in the same team as Wayne Thomas !

Well that's 3 the Beeb are certain to be showing then, in fact you can add Singapore - another cr@p narrow circuit

Who gets to decide which 'half' the BBC show ? I just hope it doesn't include the Hungaroring traffic jam - probably the worst course after Monaco on which to hold a motor race.

Men of the Tour for me are Voeckler & Cav. ( And as for the bike choice, went with the Specialized Secteur Elite, but would equally recommend the TREK 1.5 )

Wine - any variety, any nationality, and you can include champers. Cannot stand it. Any cheap industrially brewed beverage that is sold in supermarkets in crates/multipacks - Carlsberg, Strongbow, Fosters, Boddingtons, etc, etc. Dr Pepper, cherry cola. Yorkshire Tea

+1.

Always look on the bright side of life.

Exactly the same as the response to my complaint. Whilst it might have been 'noted', I would prefer to know that it will actually be considered and a full response supplied.

Just done so, via the C4 website : "With reference to the program 'How to buy a football club', at a point just over half way through this program, the presenter listed a couple of examples of Championship teams with what was inferred to be 'dubious' foreign ownership, complete with what is colloquially termed a 'pregnant pause' for effect. One of these team was Southampton FC, whose ownership was given as Markus Leibherr, who it was correctly pointed out died last year. What was conveniently omitted, is that on Herr Leibherr's death the club's ownership simply passed through his estate to his heirs. There is nothing suspicious or dubious concerning this situation, and I resent this slur on the team I have supported for over 40 years."

It looks like it will all come down to who best manages the 2 days of climbs up the Col du Galibier.

The longer the film goes on, the more scary it gets - it seems that the USofA was run by Goldman Sachs. And how the hell can you pay airline pilots $19k a year ?

I would rather think of them them as a capitalist / fascist extortion racket, and you could not for a second define them as a 'stealth tax'.

If nobody broke the clearly publicised speed limits, they wouldn't make any money, would they. IMO, anybody getting caught is making a voluntary contribution by means of a locally levied tax.

...

Aparently, if we all vote UKIP then that nice Mr Farage will take us out of Europe and all the money that saves us will be enough to compensate for any theoretical 'black hole' that might exist.

Who, Farage or Hitler ?

More than usual ? It does seem to have wandered off track somewhat.

Rhymes with prune, and involves large heaps of sand. Allegedly. Plus, nip over to the Public Sector Pensions thread, and see how far off topic that's gone, ( partly my fault, I admit ).

That's right dunce old boy, cling to the remnants of the Empire.

As I understand it, up to today it didn't need to be referred as NI had agreed to some operational concessions. With all the other stuff coming out today they withdrew those concessions, and in effect forced the Government's hands. It was then left up to Camoron's stooge to try to save face in the Commons and make it look like it was his idea. What actually happens is that Murdoch has a year's grace to re-build his position. ( Funny how the name Rupert and bent business go together ).
