How about entering it for the Turner Prize? If Tracey Emin can win it with an unmade bed, you must be in with a chance.

Started taking my lad during the Branfo*t years. Things could only get better after that.

The point was also made that, as an ex-prime Minister, he would have had police protection so it would have been a bit difficult to get up to anything that was dodgy. But before he became PM, who knows?

Planning to travel to Paris by ferry (good idea of bad idea right now?)

Have you considered Eurostar? Takes you direct from St Pancras to Disneyland (or Paris) and doesn't seem to be as badly affected by the problems. -
They're not compulsory. If you don't like them, don't buy them.

Can't blame Rudolph for trying to take wickets. He appeared to be given the option of withdrawing his fast bowler and then the game could continue. He didn't choose for the match to be stopped, that was the umpires.

Looking at the schedules, they're running a series called "The Manager". At 15:45 this afternoon, the subject is one Ronald Koeman.

Book: The Grapes of Wrath by John Steinbeck Film: Godfather II or Goodfellas or Far From The Madding Crowd (the original with Alan Bates and Julie Christie). I believe that they're re-making it.

Glad to here that I'm not the only one still waiting for his Season Ticket.

First time that I've seen Eastleigh described as "middle class". I suppose that, compared to Pikey Island, it's positively aristocratic.

I'd ber interested to see the figures that back up your statement as, according to the OPCS, 50% of those claiming DLA are living below the poverty line (or 60% for families with children).

Who's country is this? You were just born here! You're just lucky!

I certainly remember Erica Roe. -

Don't see the problem. It's one bloke's opinion. No more valid than yours or mine. -
No way, she should stay in the kitchen and have dinner on the table when he gets in after a hard day on the golf course.

I have a season ticket for 3 reasons: 1. I don't have to bother remembering to get a ticket for games before they sell out. 2. The matchday tickets are cheaper. 3. My seat is reserved for a period for cup games. I don't see why I should have priority buying tickets for other people.

Have you tried split ticketing??

40-minute chat with Matty. Covers much the same ground as the "Sporting Greats" programmes recently on Sky, but interesting all the same. http://www.theguardian.com/football/audio/2015/jul/13/football-weekly-meets-podcast-matt-le-tissier

If this is true then sign him up ASAP.

Was it black and were you acting in self-defence and do you live in the Deep South?

This post should be removed as it is nowhere near negative enough.

You're right but they won't do anything about it. I'm over 60 but still working and getting a pretty good salary. I don't need the Winter Fuel Allowance and I could afford to do without my bus pass (which I use a lot in Southampton and London). But my age group are the ones most likely to vote and so the parties are reluctant to do anything that might upset us. Hence the people who've done well (or least badly) in the budget are pensioners who's incomes will be protected and, ironically, where the largest portion of the benefits bill is spent.

Even if we got another 15000 seats it wouldn't be that much extra income even if we could fill them. 15000 @ say £40 x 19 games = £11.4M or one reasonable-quality player per season. Set that against the capital cost of expansion and I doubt if the club would see it as worthwhile.

When he was here, he was the best thing since sliced bread. Now he's gone, he wasn't that good after all. This is the standard reaction when a player leaves who we would like to have stayed.
