He gets his opinions from the Daily Express. Say no more...

Just had a nasty problem. My internet addresses were being re-directed (both with Explorer and Chrome), couldn't update Spybot. Decided to download Malwarebytes but prevented from connecting to site. Got a copy via another PC, ran it and it found 25 infections. Everything is now OK.

Been with them a few times and as the OP said, it depends on the site. Most are fine but we went to one in Normandy where my 3-year old was told off for kicking a beach ball (no games except in the games field).

Made me laugh this morning, that nice Mr Cameron on BBC saying that, like all of us, he had to sit at his kitchen table and work out how he could adapt his household budget in light of future tax rises. Yeah, with a wife that's worth 30 million, how does he manage?

Um, I don't think we had a Northam end at The Dell. Perhaps you mean Archers Road. I was at this game with my 8-year old lad and don't remember anything untoward.

As others have said, the east is expensive but worth a look. St Tropez for the yachts (that never seem to go anywhere) and the posers. Monaco is spectacular, full of Ferraris and other pricey motors. If you head west past Marseilles, Sete is OK and is at the end of a very long sandy beach (about 15 miles) which never gets crowded. Farther inland, Montelimar is the home of nougat, loads of free samples to be had but not good for the teeth. As with most places, everything's cheaper away from the coast. It's a nice part of the world, very laid back, loads of cheap fresh food and wine.

What is it about men of the cloth? I was at Barton Peveril Grammar with a lad who went on to become a vicar at Hedge End. He was banged up for taking too close an interest in his choir boys. He wasn't even Catholic, so no vow of celibacy.

He doesn't live in Romsey. He lives in North Baddesley, known as "The Village Of the Pikeys" when I was growin up in Romsey.

51 is not old.

Off with their goolies!!!

I'm thinking of getting one. Interested to know how you get on.

Am I the only one who can't summon up any enthusiasm for this? None of the teams have any identity, they're just a collection of players from all over the world who are there for the cash. I support Saints and Hampshire because this is where I've always lived and I suppose I inherited it from my Dad. I've now passed that on to my lad. The IPL is fine for the cricket-mad Indians. Just can't see any relevance to the UK.

Anyone read In The Name of the Rose by Umberto Eco. I gave it a go but found it very heavy going - he takes about 5 pages describing a church. Is it worth persevering?

Gilberts was in Portland St. Not sure what's there now but Google Street View shows it as a jewellers. It was an amazing shop - used to spend hours browsing. The assistants were very knowledgeable and could obtain virtually any book for you. The entrance to West Quay was the Echo office. There was a small road down the side to the Running Horse pub. In WW2, a relative of my Dad was landlord. During the air raids they used to shelter in the cellar. When the old Echo office was bombed they were trapped by rubble and a burst water main was slowly filling the cellar. They got out OK and the pub was one of the few buildings in Above Bar that survived.

In his 3rd season in '89 they finished 11th. In today's high-pressure climate, he'd probably be sacked.

I don't think we've accepted mediocrity. We should aim to be among the best of our peers and I think we are now. However, in August we were a demoralised, not very good team. The 5-year plan is still on track. Please let's not go back to the managerial revolving door.

They were saying on the radio last night that HMRC are owed more than 25% of the debt and are taking a hard line and would be unlikely to agree to a CVA.

I was watching the "Unbelievable" video about Matt Le Tiss and he was saying that fans always expect you to play consistently every week. They don't relise that sometimes you might have been up half the night with a sick kid or you might have problems at home. How many of us can say that we do our jobs 100% every day. All teams lose games that they shouldn't. If they didn't, I'd still do the pools.

They were just saying on R5 that her election poster has been heavily airbrushed a la David Cameron.

Omar Sharif played cricket for Egypt at Lords.

I thought that sports quiz he did was utter garbage, although my son liked it. Maybe I'm getting old.

Did Greenidge, Marshall and Andy Roberts ever play in the same side?

I'm not suggesting anything because I don't know the full picture. The police have limited resources. How they deploy those resources will vary from city to city and it will also influence the crime statistics which record not crimes committed, but crimes reported. According to some studies so-called white-collar crime is massively under-reported but, because the Daily Mail doesn't create sensationalist headlines about it, there's no great pressure on the police to devote significant resources to it.

Forget stop and search. The numbers and types of people appearing in court are a consequence of how the police do their job. If they concentrate on a specific part of the population then they will appear more in the courts. If they totally ignored the Chinese, then, according to the statistics, they'd never have committed any crimes. I'm not saying that the statistics are wrong, but there are many factors that could influence them and we would need a lot more information before forming a firm conclusion.
