In fairness they did walk the league last season. They cannot be that past it!

Lounge Lizards, I Request Your Assistance.

You caught me late on a Saturday. Maybe you will agree with me more often now. Great cause! -
Interesting. As an aside I was told that a lot of the German graves in the former soviet union were being dug up due to the rising value of Nazi memorabilia.

Polaroid link;There are two sides to the debate I am open minded but worry that people are fanatical without a healthy dose of scepticism. That video was posted not to troll but for people to comment on. -

Is Lambert the only Saints legend since Le Tiss
Sergei Gotsmanov replied to ozzmeister's topic in The Saints
A legend is somebody who you learn about from your father and his father before him and that makes it a pretty unique club in my opinion. There also has to be a very strong association with the club. Would anybody else associate Keegan with us? My list would include; Ted Bates, Ron Davies, Terry Paine, Laurie Mac, Mick Channon and Matt Le Tissier. I am also going to add Bobby Stokes because of the significance of his goal in 1976. I think that Rickie Lambert is close but will just fall short. I think if Adam Lallana if he stays with us and continues his form will end up as a legend. -
Sensible post

They seem to have done a lot of planning. I would argue that the whole of Europe was a tinderbox but Germany was very much the catalyst.

Then why was the Schlieffen Plan was written in 1905

Whether we like it or not, the high street is dead and buried. On-line purchasing will mean that shops on the high street sadly are redundant and most high streets will just be left with a Wetherspoons and a few charity shops. That is where future housing will be sourced.

I think what Gove is trying to say is that the history of the first world war is being re-written, neglecting the context and true facts of the time. German aggression was to a large extent responsible for start of the war. There was also a considerable appetite for war amongst all classes in the early years. This was a new industrial type of warfare and it was the stalemate that was responsible for the extraordinary scale of the bloodshed. Don't forget that Churchill was responsible for Gallipoli and that probably was responsible for his black dog. I expect that many in HQ types were a pretty dreadful lot, immune to suffering but that is how they did warfare on both sides at the time. ‘GOOD-MORNING; good-morning!’ the General said When we met him last week on our way to the line. Now the soldiers he smiled at are most of ’em dead, And we’re cursing his staff for incompetent swine. ‘He’s a cheery old card,’ grunted Harry to Jack 5 As they slogged up to Arras with rifle and pack. . . . . But he did for them both by his plan of attack.

What the South Today News reader?

I spoke to customer services and they confirmed that although not often enforced the child ratio rule is in place. I pointed out that the rule is absurd, notably in evening Kick Offs because I am not going to take my 5 and 7 year olds to a game that finishes at nearly 10.00pm Thanks for your answers

Thanks Rebel - the ticket office said this was because we were in the family end?!?

What are the rules regarding children's ticket's being upgraded to adult tickets. We tried to upgrade two children's ticket's to adults by paying extra for the Chelsea game today and were told that this was not possible; is this the case? I ask because we have done this before.

A great shame. Another reminder how old we are getting.

Councillor to have diversity training after golliwog remarks
Sergei Gotsmanov replied to trousers's topic in The Lounge
Politeness is a wonderful British trait. What is not is the trend for people to report other people to 'the authorities' for trivialities and these authorities to have closed courts which then send people on re-education courses. It is intolerant and typical of the new institutionalised thinking. Four legs good two legs bad. Four legs good two legs bad. -
Councillor to have diversity training after golliwog remarks
Sergei Gotsmanov replied to trousers's topic in The Lounge
Being offensive makes the perpetrator an arsehole whatever form that rudeness takes. The issue in this story is the fact that an elderly lady is being sent on a 'diversity course' for what is essentially a very trivial statement. Is it not something you would expect in North Korea to 're-educate' people for something that is a generational issue - an absurd overreaction. The people that take offence on behalf of others do far more damage than those that hold old fashioned attitudes. Why not send the Brighton lynch mob on a course to teach them that the lady meant no offence but when she was growing up golliwogs were simply part of a bed time story and she might feel a little sentimental about it. For that matter should vegetarians not be sent on a course to be taught that at dinner parties they cannot expect all the other guests to have to eat nut loaf just to accommodate them or maybe the councillors that seek to restrict Christmas decorations in their town so as not to offend other religions, that people have put up Xmas decorations up for several hundred years and it is not really meant to be designed to ram it down the throats of others and that they are just carrying on a tradition. All the people I know that they inadvertently patronise are very embarrassed by those that take offence on their behalf. Perhaps they should concentrate on the real bigots of which I am sorry to say they are among. -

Re-education - how 1984 -
Acts of kindness are very uplifting. I recall on the 93 England Sri Lankan cricket tour full of Lion's lager wandering back to our hotel after a cheery evening and stumbling across a beggar asleep on the street sadly there are many in this part of the world. Aesthetically nature had not been kind to him and I had seen him about the Gore Road. We had a quick whip round and must have put a hundred pounds in Rupees under his pillow. I often wonder what he thought when he awoke.
