  1. Can anybody possibly explain what they are about ? What sort of genetic experiment caused them to come into being ? And how the f@*& are they still appearing on TV ?
  2. Introduced during John Major's premiership in 1995
  3. St L, Is this a known issue with PayPal ? ( says he whose renewal is due and uses that process ) fool --- strawberry
  4. desert
  5. Why do Tory lapdogs such as June maintain that Labour DELIBERATELY mismanaged the economy ? A different political ideology perhaps, placing the emphasis of fiscal policy in other areas, but the concept of Gordy and Darling maliciously destroying the nation's finances is even more ludicrous than the idea that the LDs have any real sway in the current coalition.
  6. The honeymoon period will come to an end when the next Parliamentary session starts, and things will start getting serious. So far they have managed to justify every action as "Labour's legacy", and where services have already been cut, particularly with local councils, it seems the councils are targeted by the public as being to blame, rather than the Government for cutting the grant funding. They have also gone for some very easy PR wins - such as speed cameras and clamping on private land. Don't forget the 25% cuts due in October and the VAT rise in January. Let's see how popular they are by next Easter.
  7. It was metioned on the news this morning that the Daily Hail ( surprisingly ) were digging at him because of his tax arrangements, and also pointing out that the way he makes most of his money is on using corporate credit to buy companies and then re-organise / asset strip them to generate maximum payback. He is excellent at generating profit for hedge fund investors, but his companies are not necessarily seen as operationally efficient. Should fit well in the public sector, especially as the Audit Commission is being replaced by private auditing companies, ( and they are BOUND to be cheaper for the public purse, aren't they ! ).
  8. TESCO in Blackpool on Friday - they were giving them away. They are nowhere near as big as they were when I was a teenager.
  9. We went to the WW2 museum at Fort St Elmo, and found ourselves following a coach load of German tourists - quite amusing in a way as most of the exhibits seemed to be photos of Axis air raids and bits of stukas that had been shot down. I would advise to take the buses if at all possible; unless they have vastly improved the roads in the last few years, driving can be an 'experience'.
  10. Cue for Inception 2 ?
  11. A decent riding stables will have a stock riding hats for casual public use, so no need to buy his own until he's decided it' a more long term activity. Most will probably also let beginners ride in trainers, if they are a fairly firm construction, so boots also only need to be considered once he's more committed. As for the cost, a weekly lesson won't be much different to watching a Saints home game. Riding starts becoming seriously expensive once they want their own pony, and want to start taking it to shows - as my bank balance has clearly demonstrated over the years. Mind you, if the lessons are in the morning, he can still go to the match in the afternoon.
  12. Correct. Dom-Admin overrides all GPO security settings.
  13. http://www.airfix.com/airfix-products/military-vehicles/tanks/a01304-churchill-mk7-a01304/ I only saw the title, have I misunderstood the thread ?
  14. Murcielago & Koenigsegg clamped outside Harrods http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-10810772
  15. "Non-work related access to the Internet is only permitted during lunch breaks when clocked out" Besides, with a blue theme, they'll think you're a Skate.
  16. It's a straight race between Sharon den Adel & Tarja Turunen, both on about 35000 votes. Simone Simons has about 14700, and Cristina Scabbia is a long way 4th on just over 4300. ( So far ).
  17. Wot no Courtney Love Cristina Scabbia for me
  18. True, but what is likely to say if and when he visits Israel or Pakistan ?
  19. And that is exactly the problem, I don't take issue with the motive of the community group, but we pay the Police to do 'policing'.
  20. Get used to it, this exactly what the Brokeback Coalition want to see in their 'Big Society'.
