The one that annoys me that seems to be spreading itself inexorably is 'aksing' instead of 'asking'.

It's 'aitch'. ( Bl00dy hell, I've agreed with Dune )

Your "location" states that it is Switzerland, are you sure you know where you are ?

I thought it was your genetically predetermined inability to navigate, something ALL females seem to suffer from.

Which is fine as that is what the OP asks for. In response, I live half way between Blackpool & Lancaster, and commute into Britain's favourite home resort, ( or at least biggest weekend p!ss up zone ), every day.

Probably not a lot of bacon in there.

Why don't you give it a rest - it's getting boring.

No you don't. The line about spending money that you might not be able to afford should you get relegated applies to EVERY team in EVERY professional league- including Trafford United and Man Citeh. Relegation leads to a reduction in income, but it's not something you plan for, ( other than to put salary clauses in player's contracts ) It's a completely fatuous argument, and yet it's the best you can do. The £7m money was ours to spend as we wished; you spent money on players that should have been allocated to HMRC, and now you have wriggled out of that, thereby cheating every honest tax payer in the country, let alone the local small businesses, and you even robbed charities. We could afford the stadium repayments, what took us down was the bank failing to honour a couple of small cheques when they arbitrarily reduced our overdraft. Our outgoings were being trimmed to meet our income, hence dumping the massive earners and playing the youngsters, you just kept flicking V's at the authorities and carried on spending what you could never have even considered paying back.

1) In what way is your first sentance connected to the rest of this paragraph ? 2) What makes you think that these people don't get sympathy from 'socialists' or 'the public sector' ? 3) Being in a union doesn't prevent redundancies - but it does give the staff some ability to negotiate how posts are shed, as with the 250 we have lost at my place of work in the last 3 months.

I know I shouldn't, but I'll bite. The problem with leaving everything to capitalism and the markets is that all too quickly greed becomes the driving force, and those at the lower end of the social scale get chewed up, spat out, and ground down There isn't enough room at the top table for everybody to have an equal chance at getting a fair share, and those towards the top of the ladder will desperately stamp on anybody aspiring to climb towards them; 'It's mine, all mine, and you aren't getting any of it'. Socialism is about taking a little bit extra from those with far too much to know how to cope with it, ( or at least sufficient to be 'comfortably off' ), and using it to make life bearable for those at the bottom. It's effectively about enforced philanthropy, equality, and altruism, because they have become forgotten concepts in modern society. It's about acknowledging that simply letting market forces dictate social policy is divisive and dangerous. The failure of Socialism is that in order to get into a position of Governance in a country today, you have to enslave yourself to mammon, and end up irretreivably bound to the very forces you are trying to balance out.

I'm beginning to get a picture of the 'real' person behind the Dune/ Stanley/ Mole / etc internet disguise, and if it's anything like the truth, I pity you. Sad, lonely, and deliberately antagonising other posters because their response is the only intelligent communication you get with the outside world.

Good !
