Not a chance of it happening. Cameron was on BBC this morning basically saying that there was no way that we would leave the EU and he wasn't interested in a referendum.

I find it strange that a UKIP supporter (our good friend dune) supports a party that will never take us out of Europe because they would lose the support of big business from which comes their cash. William Hague said as much yesterday.

There's a lot of that sort of thing in Brighton (so I'm told)....

Exactly. Cortese doesn't need to be popular. He runs the club his own way and, so far, he's done good job. We're top of the league and playing decent footy in front of bigger crowds than some Premiership teams. If he's annoyed a few sensitive souls, that's tough. MLT is entitled to his opinion. Just accept that they don't see eye to eye, it doesn't matter.

If you think that's extreme, they've just beheaded a bloke for sorcery. What a liberal enlightened country it is.

My lad and I thought it was a good night. Paul Merson could make a living as an after-dinner speaker - he tells a good story.

Ridiculous amount of money. We had a village hall for our reception with local caterers. No honeymoon as all our cash went on buying a house. A girl at work got married recently. She was complaining about not being able to buy their own place, yet they were having 3 weeks in Thailand for a honeymoon. All a question of priorities.

Mrs ecuk268 has been a few times when it's been held in Southampton and she's not a member of anything. Easy to get tickets, just write and ask.

Is the Chairman of Glamorgan still on the board of the EWCB? Not that it would have anything to do with Cardiff getting another Test....................

The Time Travellers Guide to Medieval England by Ian Mortimer. Fascinating look at how ordinary people lived in the 1300's. What they ate, wore, where they lived, what happened when they got ill, what jobs they had. A lot's been written about Kings and Lords but this looks at the lower classes and the types of lives they led.

Used to work with a guy called Jim Brown - middle name Charles. Inevitably ended up being called Digger.

For any locals at a loose end tonight, there's a talk (with videos) by Dave Juson on the history of SFC. It's in the Lecture Theatre in the Civic at 7.00pm.

1. Landing on the moon 2. Saints winning the Cup Final. 3. The Internet 4. Cuban missile crisis (remember someone at school telling us we'd all be dead before we went home). 5. John Lennon's death.

I see that Cork has not been offered a new contract. Presumably Katich will be the new captain although I think Jimmy Adams deserves a go.

I was at work and saw it on the net. Had a hotdog at the top of the WTC in '96 and was chatting to the young guy who served us about basketball. Hoped that he'd got another job by 2001.

Bananarama. At one time the biggest-selling female group. Absolute garbage.

An intelligent articulate BNP member? Isn't that an oxymoron?

Been there a few times for work. Much as others have said. Some nice restaurants though.

If you look at the key sequences, there is no way that a drunk person would type like that. He's a bull****ter.

Sally Taylor I try to dislike Fred "The Skate" Dineage but actually find him OK.

Didn't do history at school then? The Euphrates delta was the birthplace of education and learning. They were doing literature, maths, science and agriculture around 2-3000 BC when the natives of these shores were running around in animal skins trying to catch enough wildlife to keep from starving.

Brilliant place. New Yorkers are very direct but very friendly. The subway is a good way to get around, although walking can be rewarding. Macy's is huge, go up the Empire State twice - day and night. Boat trip to Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island. Central Park. Don't be worried about crime, it's a pretty safe place - just be sensible as you would in any big city. We stayed on West 35th St near the Empire State and Macys and also not far from Sparks Steakhouse where Paul Castellano was gunned down by John Gotti's men while Gotti and Sammy "The Bull" Gravano sat in a van down the street and watched.

Not quite the same, but I a few years ago I paid £1500 deposit to a loft conversion company who promptly went bust. Fortunately, I'd used Mastercard for the deposit and got it all back quite painlessly.

Would've been easier to use a boat.

The Stalls and the Circle are sold out. We're perched up in the Balcony.
